Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Give it to 'em, Rob Base
[Verse 2]
C'mon
Pump, pump, pump it up
C'mon, c'mon, here we go
What else? What else?
Ah, yeah, here we go
C'mon, c'mon, here we go
Pump, pump, pump, pump it up
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm the new kid, I'm just coming up
A lot of rappers think that I can't tear it up
Well, I'ma show 'em and ignore 'em
And when they think I ain't looking I floor 'em
I mean take 'em out, I keep grooving
A slick bass line keep the beat moving
They can't take it, they just fake it
They wonder how the Rob Base make it
I get ill, you know the deal
'Cause this is how the Rob Base feels
[Verse 4]
Joy and pain
I'm like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Give it to 'em, Rob Base
[Verse 5]
C'mon, c'mon, pump it up
Pump it up, pump it up now
What else? C'mon
Here we go, here we go
Pump it up, pump it up now
Keep it going, keep it going
Yeah
Pump it up, pump it up
[Verse 6]
I keep smoking, hot like fire
You had the turn, now retire
Don't talk back, I'm not a new jack
'Cause I'm fresher than you, and you're wack
I keep trying, I'm not lying
Up to number one is where I'm flying
I won't slow down 'cause I'm the new kid
With the devastating sound that hits
In the house is where I used to practice
No one knew the Rob exists but now
I'm getting greedy, don't lead me
The wrong way 'cause it just might, might, might
Bring me down, I'll have to fight to get back up
Move away 'cause I just won't slack up
[Verse 7]
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
I give it to 'em, Rob Base
[Verse 8]
Pump it up, pump it up
C'mon, c'mon, here we go
What else? What else?
Keep it going, keep it going
Yeah, yeah
Pump it up, pump it up
What else?
[Verse 9]
Now, I go to shows to watch other MCs rock
And if they're good, I don't knock
The way they perform 'cause I like to see a good show
After that go play cee-lo, you know
'Cause I'm the leader, no I'm not a follower
And MCs like you, I swallow 'em
So don't look and try to judge me
Because you think that I'm another MC, well
I'm the new kid, I just moved around
But that don't mean I can't rip up the town
Me and my boys, we make noise
I hate MCs that think that we're toys
I'm hitting harder than any other MC
Who try to come up and go against me
[Verse 10]
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Let 'em have it, Rob Base, one time
[Verse 11]
Pump it up, pump it up
Keep it going, keep it going now
What else? What else?
Pump it up, pump it up now
Keep it going, keep it going
Yeah, keep it going now
Pump it up, pump it up
[Verse 12]
Not from the old school or from the new
Applaud the boom, do what you want to
Talk to me then try to put me down
We used to be cool now we don't hang around
Used to be friends but now we're foes
Ask me why, man, no one knows
Maybe jealousy between you and me
Could be the fame, could be the money
I'm going for mine and I don't really care
'Cause the spotlight Rob Base don't share
I'm the headliner of this show
And you're just a kid and you need to grow because
[Verse 13]
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Everybody sing along, joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Everybody claps your hands now
[Verse 14]
Pump it up, pump it up
C'mon, c'mon, here we go
Keep it going
C'mon, pump it up, pump it up
Here we go, here we go, c'mon
What else?
[Verse 15]
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Listen to us sing now, joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
[Verse 16]
Pump it up, pump it up
Yeah, keep it going now
What else?
Pump it up, pump it up
Yeah, here we go
Pump it up, pump it up
Yeah
