Don't Dance - Kool Moe Dee

I get on the mic for one reason, that is to be heard

And when I’m on the microphone, I hope you don’t miss a word

I’m not saying do not enjoy yourself, don’t take a chance

To shake your head, pat your feet, clap your hands, but don’t dance

‘Cause if you’re up and dancing then you won’t really hear

The smoking rhyme that I design for you all to compare

With the other brother lovers of the hip-hop culture

Beat is working, rhymes are perking, and it’s gotta be felt

But don’t dance… don't dance

They consider me epitome of rap and I know

Rappers wanna get rid of me ‘cause at a live show

I got a voice like Luther, I’m bulletproof-a

A rhyme that I design will always make you, the

People take notice on how I always show this

Funky style, forget the smile, your face’ll say, «Yo, this

Brother’s not playing, you know what I’m sayin'»

MC’s on your knees say «Please start praying»

Don’t dance… don't dance

Attention, at ease, emcees

You pay too much attention to the rhymes like these

One took part of my name, others part of my fame

One took the rhythm, now the people think that we’re on the same

Level of intelligence, but that’s irrelevant

If we ever battle head up, you won’t do well against me

I’m the originator, the only real creator

Called time bomb with the end of my detonator

Ready to blow up and totally show up

A rapper I’ll slap and with a mean rhyme slow up

Huh, you wanna go up against me, then throw up

Your mic stand but make plans to get tore up

‘Cause I’m gonna rip ya, I would strip ya of the title

But I got it, so get off my tip

Ya wannabe me MC, ooh wee—I'm rocking me now

I know I’m rocking you ‘cause I could see your hand

High-fivin' ‘cause I’m live and saying «you heard the man»

Don’t dance… don't dance… don't dance

I said my rhyme loud, proud, now, look at the crowd

Fellas «ho», ladies «ow», how

Could you take my style, smile while stealing

You should bow down, bend, and be kneeling

Praying to me like a god, go on

Just say my rhyme, you’re on mine subconsciously

You know that you can’t live up

To my rap status, drop your mic, give up

‘Cause I am relentless, that’s why I spit this

Time to make a fresh rhyme and invent this

Style that you’re hearing, year out and year in

But suckers keep stealing it, and then swearing to God

They didn’t take it, they know they didn’t make it

But you can’t lie to yourself, give me a break, it

Seemed to me, that I was your favorite

Hip-hop hero back in the days, it’s

Undoubtedly, obviously true

You wanted to be another Moe Dee when you

Started rhyming, you see you had to be to some degree

An imitation, variation of me

And now all of a sudden, you’re competition

So now you think you can change my position

Don’t be dumb, I’m still number one

When you hear me come, you better run and hide out

And enjoy yourself while you got the crowd fooled

Believing you’re the best ‘cause I’ma take you to school

And if you really think you’re better, I want proof

I’m calling you out, this is the moment of truth

Don’t dance… don't dance… don't dance
