Lyrics

[Intro]
Right about now
You're about to be possessed
By the sounds of
MC Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock
Hit it
[Chorus]
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it
[Verse 1]
I wanna rock right now
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone
[Verse 2]
Because I get stupid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from me if you're contagious
'Cause I'm the winner, no, not a loser
To be an MC is what I choose a
[Verse 3]
Ladies love me, girls adore me
I mean even the ones who never saw me like
The way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why? Man, I don't know
So let's go, 'cause
[Chorus]
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it
[Verse 4]
My name is Rob, I got a real funky concept
Listen up 'cause I'm gonna keep you in step
I got an idea that I wanna share
You don't like it? So what? I don't care
[Verse 5]
I'm number one, the uno, I like comp
Bring all the suckers 'cause all them, I'll stomp
Bold and black but I will protect
All of my followers 'cause all I want is respect
[Verse 6]
I'm not a doctor, put them in rapture
A slick brother that can easily outfox ya
'Cause I'm Rob, the last name Base, yes
And on the mic, I'm known to be the freshest
[Verse 7]
So let's start, it shouldn't be too hard
I'm not a sucker, so I don't need a bodyguard
I won't fess, wear a bulletproof vest
Don't smoke Buddha, can't stand sess, yes
[Chorus]
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it
[Verse 8]
The situation that the Base is in
I'm kinda stingy that's why I don't wanna lend
A funky rhyme to a foe or a good friend
But listen up 'cause I want you to comprehend
[Verse 9]
'Cause I'm the leader, the man superior
I take care of ya, and then ya get wearier
So just sit, my rhymes are not counterfeit
The record sells which makes this one a hit
[Verse 10]
It won't hurt to listen to Red Alert
Take off your shirt
Make sure it don't hit the dirt
I like the kids, the guys, the girls
I want the ducats, this is Rob Base's world
I'm on a mission ya better just listen
To my rhymes 'cause I'm all about dissin' 'cause
[Chorus]
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it
[Verse 11]
I stand alone, don't need anyone
'Cause I'm Rob, just came to have fun
Don't need friends that act like foes
'Cause I'm Rob Base, the one who knows
[Verse 12]
About things that make ya get weary
Don't cheer me, just hear me
Out 'cause I got the clout, shout (Ho)
Before I turn the party out
[Verse 13]
I won't stutter, project my voice
Speak clearly so you can be my choice
On stage or on record
Go to the Wiz and select it
[Verse 14]
Take it off the rack, if it's wack, put it back
I like the Whopper, **** the Big Mac
If you want static so let's go
So, throw up your hands, go for what you know
Bro, I got an ego
Yo, talkin' to me? No, oh
[Verse 15]
'Cause Rob is in the front, E-Z Rock is on the back-up
We're not soft, so you better just slack up
'Cause I'm cool, calm just like a breeze
Rock the mic with the help of E-Z
Rock, on the set, the music plays
Only cuts the records that I say
[Chorus]
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
[Bridge]
Aight now, E-Z Rock, now
When I count to three
I want you to get busy
You ready now?
One, two, three, get loose now
[Outro]
It takes two to make a
It takes two to make a
It takes two, it takes two, it takes two to make a
It takes two to make a, it takes two to make a
It takes two to make a
It takes, it takes two
It takes two to make a thing
It takes two to make a
It takes two to make a
It takes two to make a
It takes two to make a
It takes two to make a
It takes two to make a
