Step Up

[Intro] N.C. Yo... [Verse 1] Watch as the room rocks mentally moonwalk Mixed Media slang banging in your boom box Verbal violence lyrical stylist In a time when rock hip-hop rhymes are childish You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an MC With your lack of skill and facility you’re killing me And a DJ in the group just for credibility I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes You’re not an MC if someone else writes your lines Rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer ‘Cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck So how does it stack up? None of it’s real You want to be an MC you’ve got to study the skill [Chorus] Who can rock a rhyme like this? Bring it to you every time like this? Who can rock a rhyme like this? Step step up! Step step up! [Verse] So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy With a tendency to make up stories (Bullshit) Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40 And your record company is completely missing it All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate So in a battle you can’t hack it react with whack shit And get smacked with verbal back flips Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts It’s taken decades for MC’s to establish this You’re new to hip-hop and welcome if your serious But not on the mic leave that to the experienced Using the waves of sound The true master paralyzes his opponents Leaving him vulnerable to attack [Chorus] Who can rock a rhyme like this? Bring it to you every time like this? Who can rock a rhyme like this? Step step up! Step step up! [Bridge] After years of pain-staking research by the world’s leading sound scientists We here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system Actual movement of musical sound in space used to carefully attack and    neutralize the cellular structure of the human body And the question must be asked… [Chorus] Who can rock a rhyme like this? Bring it to you every time like this? Who can rock a rhyme like this? Step step up! Step step up! Who can rock a rhyme like this? Bring it to you every time like this? Who can rock a rhyme like this? Step step up! Step step up! [Outro] N.C. Mix Media N.C. Step Up the microphone N.C. And you do it like this N.C. And you do it like N.C. Step Up the microphone N.C. Mix Media N.C And you do it like this N.C. Mix Media N.C. Step Up the microphone  N.C. And you do it like this  N.C. Mix Media   N.C. Step Up the microphone  N.C. And you do it like this

La chanson aborde la question de l'authenticité dans le monde du hip-hop et du rock, dénonçant ceux qui se contentent de suivre les tendances sans véritableement maîtriser l'art. Elle critique les artistes qui se présentent comme des MC sans avoir le savoir-faire nécessaire, mettant en avant l'importance de l'expérimentation et de la légitimité dans l'écriture et la performance. L’artiste appelle ainsi à une élévation du niveau, incitant ceux qui souhaitent se lancer à réellement s’investir et à éviter la superficialité. Dans le contexte actuel, où de nombreux genres musicaux se mélangent, cette chanson soulève des préoccupations sur les valeurs et la réelle compréhension de la musique, tout en rendant hommage à ceux qui ont œuvré pour établir le hip-hop comme un art à part entière.
