Freedom

Somebody, ah, somebody

If you wanna party, say party (Party!)

Say, party (Party!)

C'mon!

Ha-ha, ha, woo!

Ah yeah

And if you wanna party and that's a fact

Somebody say, and you know that

(And you know that!)

We don't care if you're 8 to 10

Or if you're a senior citizen

Because we got a beat that just won't end

So you better get ready to rock my friend!

See we got some news

That you can use

An offer that you can't refuse

We're givin' up honey, and you got to come

Because you're the one!

Red, yellow, black, white, or brown

In our own way, we can all get down

So just take your time and enjoy yourself

And you'll rock as good as anyone else

Ah, come on go to it, put your body into it

If the feelin' is good then you might as well do it

See it makes no sense just standin' around

Just boogie to the beat of the funky sound

You don't rock with us, you won't have a ball

And might as well didn't rock at all

You see we can't rock if you don't have fun

Because you're the one that's number one

Now raise your hand up above your head

(C'mon, ha, ha, ha-ha)

If you agree what I said

Then writhe your hands up in the air

(Uh, uh, uh)

Somebody say, oh yeah (Oh yeah!)

Woo!

Ha, ha, ha, ha

Flash, one time!

Melle Mel with the clientele

I'm gonna rock your chime and ring your bell

See, I'm so bad and I'm so light

To write a rhyme on a dime

To make the world turn twice

And I'm Mr. Ness, that rock the best

And I'm ready to rock at your request

Go on, go on with your bad self

(Ha-ha)

Raheim is gonna do the rest

So, my name is Raheim

I'm a son of a queen

I'm the king of my castle

Don't give me no hassle

Young ladies in the place, put me on

When I'm a part of your life

You can never go wrong

You say at first my name was Denny Den, uh

The secret weapon, the master plan

I'm slick, I'm cool, I'm solid gold

They call me the Kid Creole

I'm the C-O-W-B-O-Y, why?

The man's so bad that you can't deny

And when you ask the cowboy to play

I'm Cowboy, I never ran away

Grandmaster, cut faster

Than any known, stone to the bone

Full-grown, he's a one of a kind

And Flash is gonna rock your mind, huh

Ha, ha, ha, ha

Flash, two times!

Beep beep, you in the crew, hold it!

Why don't you find somebody and party?

I like this part, ha

Now get down

Woo! Yeah, alright, alright, ha-ha

Quickly now, quickly now

The bass was in your face

The highs that make your nature rise, uh

Ooh-wee! Yeah

Young ladies in the place

Feel the highs, feel the bass

If you wanna rock till the break of dawn

Somebody say, come on (Come on!)

Melle Mel, right on time

In Taurus the bull is my Zodiac sign

And I'm Mr Ness and I'm ready to go

And I go by the sign of Scorpio

My name is Raheim, I don't like to fuss

My Zodiac sign is Aquarius

The Kid Creole is the name of mine

And Pisces is my Zodiac sign

And I'm Cowboy and I'm runnin' this show

My Zodiac show is uh, Virgo

And Grandmaster Flash cuts so on

His Zodiac sign is Capricorn

We gon' try somethin new

(What ya gon' do!?)

We gon' try somethin new

(What ya gon' do!?)

Now that you heard our names in size

Put your name into this rhyme

What's your name?

I say, what's your name?

And gon' try somethin' else

Go for yourself

And gon' try somethin' else

Go for yourself

Gon' try this game, one more time

Now this time use your Zodiac sign

What's your sign?

I say, what's your sign?

Ha, ha, ha, ha

I guess

Flash, two times!

Beep beep, you in the crew, hold it

Hey, why don't you find somebody and party?

Ooh-ow, ooh-ow!

(Ha-ha-ha-ha)

Here come the kazoos, well, alright!

No doubt, get down, woo! Ha

Young ladies in the place

Bass in your face

Ha-ha-ha-ha, uh

Ha, yeah

The ladies' action, the coming attraction

The man with the positive reaction

The man with the style on the top of the pile

Melle Mel gonna rock a long, long while

I want a Rolls Royce, I got a golden voice

Gonna rock in the mic if you give me the choice

And I rock to the beat and I got it like that

And you can't beat that with a baseball bat

I could play a dumb game and I won't feel ashamed

Because I got more smarts than any slick git

I'm not the butcher, the baker, or the candlestick maker

But I'm Mr. Ness the woman's taker

When I talk to some girls, the girls think I'm dumb

Oh, but that's okay because they all get some

I'ma tell it like this, you will never discover

That Ness is, is a lover

I'm the force that keeps you on when you tend to stray

I'm the jester of the joust, so heed what I say

This advice I give to you is for you to keep

All I want you to do is just sow what I reap

I'm 100% on all the time

I'm like Earl the Pearl when I'm saying a rhyme

I could get taped on like a magical wand

I make all the ladies' dreams and my word is bond

We're sick, we're bad and powerful

We fill you with five hours full

Of the music that's proclaimed the best

In town to the funky sound

Now clap your hands, do the freak dance

Become a victim of circumstance

'Cause everybody rocks with Flash and the Five

Get down, rah

The butter, the bread

The bread to the butter

C'mon everybody, let's rock one and another

Hey ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Nobody rocks the mic like the five of us

You say, the bread to the butter

And the butter to the bread

Don't be misled by what I say

You say dust to dust and ashes to ashes

'Cause no man cuts are faster than Flash's

You're the one

You're the one (Ha-ha)

You're the one (Yo)

You're the one

You don't stop and everybody hip-hop

(Woo, woo!)

You don't stop and then find your bop

(Ah-ha)

Just clap your hands and get on the go

Then you rock to the beat in stereo

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And if you wanna help us get on the go

Scream it out and say, ho! (Ho!)

Ho! (Ho!)

You don't stop

And if you wanna rock in to the broad daylight

Somebody say, what it look like (What it look like!)

What it look like (What it look like!)

You don't stop

I'm gonna talk about the man that's the real McCoy

No other cool brother than Keith Cowboy

(Woo!)

I wear a eight and a half, a 29 waist

(Say what? yeah, alright, talk about it)

A medium shirt, take a look at my face

(Huh, uh, uh)

You check out my hair and then you look in my eyes

'Cause all I'm here to do, girl, is make you hypnotized

(Uh, ha)

Till you hip hop the shoo-bop, do-bop

(Woo! Ha-ha, ha)

Take a look on your arm and check your clock

(Alright)

Let's do it, let's do it

(Uh, ha, ha, ha, ha)

You know you got to do, do it

(Ooh)

To the beat, y'all
