"Back By Popular Demand" lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen, back by popular demand!
Kurtis, Kurtis
Kurtis Blow
West coast, east coast
Hot most host, with the utmost
Don't play me too close
'Cause I'll roast you
I'm on fire
Livewire
Retire, never
I'm too clever
Would never
Fake it wack
I come back
Clockin' the rhythm and its new style
Tryin' not to dance, that's futile
And I'll win
'Cause I'm a champion, good!
Hardcore, creator
Born on the streets of the ghetto
With soul, I'm cold
In effect, it made you step so right!
And I'll do this every night
Never miss
Like Buddha, King
Legend, ruler
I'm a master
And you has to dance to this
'Cause I'm back!
Back by popular demand!
Kurtis Blow
Kurtis Blow
Kurtis Blow
Giving you the rhythms that you're living for
Settin' the pace on the dancefloor
Pumpin' it hard, don't you hear that bass drum?
Make the crowd go wild and wantin' to start to
Bum-rush the door of the party that I'm playing at
I'm all this and that
And I'm factual
Evidence of longevity
Rappin' authority
Knowing and growing and showing
And never slowing down
'Cause my beat is sound
Solid, rock hard depth
Music to your ears
'Cause the Blow is here
I'm in effect y'all
And just get on up and get stupid
Don't have a heart attack
'Cause the beat is dope
I'ma show you how it's done, boys
'Cause I'm back!
Back by popular demand!
Kurtis Blow
Kurtis Blow
Kurtis Blow
Back by popular demand!
Kurtis Blow
Kurtis Blow
Kurtis Blow
I knew you missed me
So don't diss me
Be down with the history of rap
And let your fingers snap
Open up, it makes you move
To the groove
'Cause the beat is designed to soothe
The average soul
I make you lose control
So chill, get ill
'Cause this jam is hype
And it's just the type
To cause a evolution into your mind
The revolution of rhythm and rhyme
A positive solution, a def answer
For every dancer
Your crew or your posse on the trail
I'm sure to deliver like US Mail
Rain or hall, sleet or slow
Any kind of weather I'll rock this show
Don'tcha know boy
I'm back!
Back by popular demand!
Kurtis Blow
Kurtis Blow
Kurtis Blow
Word, word
You know what I'm saying
All that's going out to my homeboys up in the Bronx
You know what I'm saying
Boogie down, yeah, yeah
Word
Also money-making Manhattan
Brooklyn
Brooklyn is definitely cold effect boy
You know what I'm saying
Word
How could I ever forget Hollis?
Chicago
Philly
DC
Kurtis, Kurtis
