Christmas Rappin - Kurtis Blow.mp3

[00:00.00] Don't you get me all that JIVE about things you wrote before I's
[00:15.42]alive,
[00:16.05]Cause this ain't 1823 ain't even 1970
[00:20.19]Now I'm the guy named Kurtis Blow and Christmas is one thing I know,
[00:24.51]So every year, just about this time, I celebrate it with a rhyme:
[00:33.18]Gonna shake it, gonna bake it, gonna make it good,
[00:35.40]Gonna rock shock rock through your neighborhood.
[00:37.56]Gonna ring it, gonna sing it till it's understood.
[00:39.72]My rap's about to happen, like the knee you was slappin;
[00:42.00]Or the toe you been tappin' on a hunk of wood.
[00:44.28]'Bout a red suited dude, with a friendly attitude and a sleigh full
[00:49.11]of goodies for for the people on the block. Got a long white beard,
[00:51.66]maybe looks kind of weird, and if you ever seen him he could give a
[00:54.33]quite shock. Now people let me tell ya about last year when the
[01:01.62]dude came flying over here, Well the hawk was out the snow's on the
[01:05.25]ground, folks stayed into party down. The beat was thumping on the
[01:09.60]blcok, and I was dancing in my sockS, and the drummer played at a
[01:13.44]solid pace, and a taste of the base was in my face. And the guitar
[01:24.00]laid down a heavy layer of the funky junky rhythm of the
[01:26.43]disco Beat. And the guy with the 88 started to participate, and I
[01:34.08]could Sure appreciate it sound so sweat.
[01:40.08]We were all in the mood so we had a little food, and a joke, and a
[01:43.05]smoke, and a little bit of wine, when I thought I heard a hoof on
[01:45.81]Top of the roof. Could it be or was it me, I was feeling super
[01:48.51]fine. So I went to the attic where I thought heard the static
[01:51.00]on a chance that the prance was somebody breaking in. But the
[01:53.34]noise on the top was a reindeer clop, Just a trick St. Nick, and I
[01:56.52]let the sucker in.
[02:06.06]He was roly, he was Poly and not the holy moly, you got a lot of
[02:09.06]whiskers on your chinny, chin, chin. He allowed, he was proud of
[02:11.70]the hairy little crowd on the point of the door where the skin
[02:14.19]should've been.
[02:14.73]Get's cool for a fool throwin' out every you for a day on sleigh
[02:17.97]where the cold winds blow. So the beard maybe cleared
[02:20.19]But I never have a cheered cause it's warm in the storm when it's
[02:22.62]ten below
[02:27.57]I said you're right it's cold tonight,
[02:29.82]Can you stop for a drop before you go?
[02:31.86]He said why not if the music'S hot and I'll chance a dance beneath
[02:35.43]the mistletoe.
[02:36.21]So he went downstairs and forgot his cares and he rocked the spot
[02:39.45]and danced like a
[02:40.29]pro
[02:40.77]And every young girl tried to rock his world
[02:42.60]But he boogie oogie oogied till he had to go
[02:49.08]And before he went this fine old gent
[02:51.27]Finding gifts went to sift through his big red bags
[02:53.46]In the top for the bottom he reached in and got toys?---- - --? on a
[02:56.85]girls flat rag
[03:01.95]And the grownups got some presents too
[03:04.29]A new TV and a stere-u. A new Seville 'bout as blue as the sky
[03:08.64]The best that money couldn't buy
[03:10.53]Cause money could never ever buy the feelin
[03:12.93]the one that comes from not concealin
[03:15.09]The way you feel about your friends
[03:17.19]and this is how the story ends
[03:23.61]The dude ya reads back at the pole
[03:25.71]Up north where everything is cold
[03:27.93]but if he were right here tonight
[03:29.94]he'd say merry Christmas and to all a good night
