[00:00.25]Oooh, baby, I like the sound when
[00:03.06]The switch is on, and you start poundin’
[00:05.82]Out my radio and pretty soon
[00:08.56]Salt and Pepa will boom into the room
[00:11.23]Clap your hands now people, clap hard
[00:13.12]Clap your hands now people, clap your hands
[00:15.84]Clap your hands now people, stomp your feet
[00:18.60]Clap your hands now people, clap with me
[00:26.90]Listen hard and tell me what you hear
[00:34.21]Is it noise or is it def beats in your ear?
[00:37.82]You said you want one, and now you got some
[00:39.73]Vicious snare, high hats, and a bass drum
[00:42.49]First the mix empress to impress you
[00:45.28]Cutting right on time and I’ll bet you
[00:47.97]Didn’t know it (did you?), you can’t believe it (could you?)
[00:50.75]Word to life, I swear, we wouldn’t kid you
[00:53.40]And she can cut it up like a wild animal
[00:56.23]Slicing and dicing away as a cannibal does
[00:58.94]Cuz only a beauty can make you people clap with me
[01:15.36]Who is the best?
[01:16.29]We are the best!
[01:17.29]Who’s one of the best?
[01:19.00]You’re one of the best!
[01:19.99]Why am I so def? Why don’t I have flaws?
[01:21.76]Why do I cut for Salt and Pepa? Because
[01:24.54]When my turntable talks your body will listen
[01:27.29]To a message? tested and kickin’
[01:30.09]Out of my speakers and into your sneakers
[01:32.73]Providing conversation for the woofers and tweeters
[01:35.50]When I play the Technics obey
[01:38.26]Cuz I’m a fader translator, a mixboard slave
[01:43.79]And I’m-a do like this on ’em… this on ’em
[02:19.37]When I’m on the floor, beat is like romance
[02:21.20]The rhythm makes love to me as I dance
[02:23.04]And from what I see it’s about to be
[02:25.70]A relationship between beauty and the beat
[02:28.42]Word up y’all, it’s a royal ball
[02:31.29]Turn hip-hop clubs into concert halls
[02:33.92]Inside is live, if I use up highs
[02:36.62]Twelve hundred?
[02:37.60]Power in high drive, the woofers don’t lie
[02:42.14]Opposites attract so the birthrate’s high
[02:44.95]Your chest and ribcage the bass is poking at
[02:47.60](Lower the what?) Stop joking…
[02:49.42]We can’t do that it possess power
[02:52.22]You ask how-a people get louder
[03:01.35](Uh, step aside, sir…
[03:02.22]Sir, will you please step aside for the…)
[03:05.06]Salt and Pepa MC’s represent beauty
[03:08.60]We want y’all to see why we’re the only
[03:11.49]Nominee nominated representing our race
[03:14.15]This jam is dedicated to all the pretty faces
[03:17.78]And we’re gonna rock like you like
[03:19.69]Spinderella on the mix, Salt and Pepa on the mike
[03:22.35]And we can satisfy your desire
[03:25.04]We can make your body perspire
[03:26.94]Make the men all want to get with it
[03:29.64]Then take ’em down to the ultimate
[03:32.44]Sounds and I say: Spinderella’s not a fella
[03:36.08]But a girl DJ!
