MC POET & DJ ROCKWELL NOEL - Beat You Down lyrics

rate me

Beat you DOWN, b-b-beat y-you DOWN, Beat you DOWN...

Listen up world, as the Poet attacks

This is just a little sample of how I wax

BDP is trying to dis, we know that they're on it

Everytime we make a record, they get disappointed

Nobody said hip hop started out in the Bridge

But now you've dissed all of Queens, so we know how you live

You try to get paid talkin bout my town

When I battle you punk, I'mo* beat - you - DOWN [sic]

How could you say the Bridge is over? We've just begun

You soft sucker MC, KRS-One

Can you believe it, party people? He raps like a rasta!

Boogie Down Productions are full of imposters

They say things, that are not true

Now the Poet and Noel will break it down to you

Bronx started hip hop, but couldn't maintain it

Now they're gettin jealous 'cause Queens has made it

THAT's why those suckers are trying to dis

'cause we're getting PAID, and they're getting pissed!

Just think about it, people

I speaking the facts, and

Manhattan keeps making it; Queens do the taxin'!

My name is Poet, for the top I am bound

Anybody in my way, is getting beat DOWN

Now back in the days, when hip hop began

Queens was rocking with the hardest jams

Over there in the Bronx, you jammed with house speakers

We was rocking bass bottoms, and JBL[?] tweeters!

Bound up and down [???]

Was Infinity machines, and New Sounds

You say that the Bronx was rockin the place

Well you just got put on to sub bass

Man, the old school, they used to duel

And the [pumped?] New sound was the one to rule

The Infinity machine, taking out power

Ever since the days, you been ALL on ours!

That we had the jams that were worth a lot

I know you remember when the [bertha rocked?]

people [?] so low, it shook the gound

Man, even Back THEN we was beatin you DOWN!

K R S One, You sound like a sissy

You want to battle me, yo let's get busy

Battles I enjoy, they improve our tactics

I'm telling you now, you're purely practice!

And if you want to fight, put down your mic

and we will rock ass for the whole damn night

You can get you're whole crew, but don't swing on

'cause I'm knocking down posses with my Python

I don't need bodyguards, cause this boy's bad

And Noel got my back with the 45 Mag!

So come on and roll, so we can get buck

This is one MC, that don't give a fuck

Don't EVER let me hear you say Queens is soft

'cause we're going to the Bronx, with sawed-offs!

Yes, Bronx started hip hop; I'll give you that

But you also the creators of the drug called crack

You thought we don't know; you thought we forgot

Everybody in your crew has beamed up to scott!

I know you want to battle for the things I said

Just remember Poet, who put out that head

Beat Down!

I know that you're mad, cause we got loose

But you tried to dis Marley, and Sir Juice[?]

Just remember, we know how you're playing a game

You're trying to get fame off Marley's name

Just take this advice from Noel and Poet

Stop trying to dis Queens, and get off the tip

'cause me and Noel will be back to crush

You'll NEVER LEAVE Bronx if you ever dis us

You don't like what I said, you don't like how I sound

Just battle me boy, so I can Beat - you - DOWN!
