Sudden Death - Thump Music lyrics

rate me

Now what if rappers had to write their own music

Instead of getting sampled stuff so they could use it

Over a beat that's nothing but a bass drum

Over and over making your ears numb

This is what happens when you sell out

Can't take the pressure so you're gonna have to bail out

Find a good beat so your song hits big

Then use it over and over at the gig

Bounce up and down to the thump of the drum

Pay no regard that the lyrics are dumb

Dance at a club that smells like a dump

You just can't avoid it, go to a club all you hear is...

[chorus]

Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump

Thump thump thump thump

Writin' a hit nowadays is easy

Write about sex, but don't make it sleazy

It doesn't matter if it comes out corny

America won't admit it but it's horny

Any kind of new cross-over will work

Even if the M.C. sounds like a jerk

All the real rappers don't get any airplay

The public doesn't wanna hear what they have to say,

all they wanna hear is...

[chorus]

Rap a couple lines and then sing

At every dance club it's the exact same thing

I'm gettin' sick of everybody sellin' out

'Cause they don't understand what the music's all about

Turn on the radio and thump in your car

Thump musicians think they're gonna go far

But I hope the thump fad doesn't stick, 'cause I'm tellin' you

I'm really gettin' sick of hearin' nothing on a beat but a...

[chorus]
