Do It Again

Whodini, launchin' rockets in the 90s!

Now I remember in the days of way back
With just a 4 track
With no SP-12 to make tracks
Wearing leather suit's and boots was the gear
Of fly bands and hip hop stars of the year
"Hey-ho" when rockin' on the
Street was the show
When the people clapped but they
Went home with no dough

Sportin' All Star walking to the beat
Of the Funky Four + 1
And the awesome Treacherous Three
Bump it in your Walkman
The music was explodin'
But these are The Breaks from
The king Kurtis Blow
And giving us The Message
Is Grandmaster Flash, the Fearless Four
But still they said that rap won't last
Radio was playin' it
Street kids were sayin' it

Soulsonic Force had the funk and
They were bringing it
Then we threw the Whodini sound in the crew
With Magic Wand, had it going on (Old school)
Bringing the freaks out at night
Rapper's Delight
Fly girls were giving hip hop a new light
Pioneers who've given rap it's
Life and it'self all praise due and remember
That time repeats it'self

Do it again do it again
Do it again (You know we got a) reputation
Let's do it again do it again
Do it again do it again
(You know we got a) reputation
Now check it out

I remember in the days when
We wore gold chains and Lee suit's
Adidas and Pumas with no strings
And boppin' to The Rap Attack
Run-DMC was hittin' everywhere with Rock Box
The inner-city was complimentin' Big Mouth

One Love, and Friends
The Five Minutes of Funk
Those days will never end
The Dynamix would break and all over town
All over the world
Hip hop came and made it's rounds
Taking up the fresh cuts, 1, 2, and 3

That was Whodini and Run-DMC
Lookin' at the kids with
Boomboxes on their shoulders
Sheepskins, Gazelles
Leather bombers lookin' bolder
Then LL and Rakim came to life
One for makin' us dance, the other insight
The fans was getting bigger
Look what we delivered
You still think that rap is gonna die
How do you figure?
Every time you say it's gonna pass

Hip-hop comes out with another style of
Rap and slaps your ass
Boogie Down Production, Biz and Public Enemy
DJs The Red Alert and Magic gave us energy
Tour and tour and show after show
And everybody freaked when Marley
Marl had control
And pioneers who've given rap
It's life and it'self all praise due
Remember that time repeats it'self

Do it again do it again
Do it again (You know we got a) reputation
Let's do it again do it again
Do it again do it again
(You know we got a) reputation

Do it, do it, do it do it, do it, do it

I'm thinkin' of today's sound and
How it all changed to hear it on the radio
No longer in the game
Videos just get me depressed
Well I guess a 9 to 5 isn't
A way to end my quest
I see mad MCs with fat raps and
Thinkin' if Whodini could ever
Compete with that little kids rockin' on the
Mic with pure terror
Whatever happened to the nameplates
Of funky fresh era?

Then I see Run-DMC comin' back
Old school MCs become the new
School styles of rap
Like Naughty by Nature, Leaders of the New
A Tribe Called Quest
Dr dre and Snoop Doggy too
Red Alert keepin' it street for the core
Of hard rocks
Respect to you Red and many more

Awesome Two paved the way thru and thru
Thanks to all the DJs keeping
It real and true
We used to be on the outside lookin' in
Now Whodini is comin' back to do it all again
Pioneers who've given rap it's
Life and it'self all praise due and notice
That time repeated it'self
