[Chorus]
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And give a loc a little dap when he roll through
[Verse 1]
If it be a dope beat that all y'all seek
Get up out your seat and let me see your technique
Freak your physique and you bet' not come weak
Make it hot and sweaty like twenty deep in a jeep
Never comin' cheap, 40 creep, and I
Hope you don't mind if I borrow a few things while you go to sleep
I steal knowledge from the rich and give it to the poor, it's
Coolio loco, the ghetto witch doctor, super you are
Take it from the back and bring it to the front
'Cause you gotta give the people what they want, lil' punk
Do the stomp, do the butt, big homie, shake your gut
As long as you get your ass up (Up)
It's a party over here and let me make it clear
40 Thevz is the crew, so you better come anew
Ain't a damn thing change since the first one
And if you didn't hear the album, go get one (Get one)
[Chorus]
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And give a loc a little dap when he roll through
[Verse 2]
Here come the thief on the old school beat
And I never knew the meaning of the word defeat
The master of disguise wanna see the people rise
Yet, fools try to deny that the mind is fly
Just cook 'em all up like gumbo and block they ass like Mutumbo
'Cause your album dropped off the charts like Dumbo
We are new and improved to make you put on your boogie shoes
Like K.C. and the Sunshine Band or the Wu-Tang Clan
I go way back like Vegas, Nixon, Noreaga
It's the tennis shoe players fat box on the crossfader
Now what if hip-hop was like Humpty Dumpty sittin' on the wall
And what if hip-hop had to take a great fall? And
What if rhyme was a crime and each and every time
That you spit a dope line, you might have to do some time?
Most of these clowns will be tryin' to skip town
But Coolio will be ready for the showdown
[Chorus]
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And pass a joint to the loc when he roll through
[Verse 3]
If the shoe fit, put it on and step
And if your ass can't cash, don't let your mouth write no check
Fools be in the fours or the vans with a switch
Uppercuts and karate kicks from Weird Al yank-it-quick
From Tokyo to Sojo, rollin' with the 4-0
This hip-hop that I'm holding'll make you remove your coat
It's the mandingo, everything but rhyme's broken
Breakin' and enterin' first position I supported
You can't understand how I do it, I'm just true to it
I let my pen flow across the paper like it was made in fluent, uh
Let it ring, let it rip, everybody holler
Like Marvin Gaye, but don't you let the record skip
Synchronize the watch 'cause the party don't stop
'Til the neighborhood watch call the cops
It's the wild-ass festival, coast line veteran
Once again droppin' bombs on your section (On your section)
[Chorus]
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And pass the brew to the loc when he roll through
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school
Are you ready to throw down?
Yes, we are
Well, get on down like you're 'posed to
And give a loc a little dap when he roll through (Fool)
