[Intro]
Yo, Shock, man, people be comin' up to me sayin'
"Yo, man, what's up with the Underground, man?
You guys old school, new school, R&B, or hip-hop?"
What should I tell 'em?

[Verse 1]
Now, this is not your average everyday rap song
We won't be rockin' bells that go a ding and a dong
The bass drum will hit, but won't be lingering on
Check out the way we kick it on the microphone
The funky beat is playin' and we're swingin along
The Underground is rockin with the hip-hop song
The drums are ringin' with the serious tone
Ah, clock this y'all, we're on the microphone
Ah, emcees, you like the way we swing?
Well, listen close and make sure you don't miss a thing
Don't you know that we're the microphone masters?
Known to emcees as the raw-dog bastards
We bust rhymes and write everyday
So, listen close to the things that we say
Triple-slippin' emcees will get verbally raped
We'll send you home with that look on your face
And just rock this, you can't stop this
Ah, just rock this, try and clock this (Try and clock this)
The funky beat is playing and we're swingin' along
The Underground is rockin' with the hip-hop song
The funky drums is ringin' with the serious tone
Ah, clock this y'all, we're on the microphone
Ah, emcees, ya like the way we swing? (Ya like the way we swing?)
'Cause America likes the way we swing
[Verse 2]
Emcees, you like the way we swing?
I hope you do, 'cause if you don't, it don't mean a thing
See, we don't play for other hip-hop crews, it's not about you
We do the things that we wanna do
We're emcees to please the loyal followers
But you, you're just a sucker hip-hop borrower
Your real name is probably Bradworth or Bennett
Your verbal baggage ain't got nothin' in it
You think that you're rockin, but you're not hip-hoppin'
So, you best stop jockin' at the masters
Emcees, you like the way we swing? (You like the way we swing?)
Yeah, 'cause America likes the way we swing

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Emcees, you like the way we swing? (You like the way we swing?)
The Queen told you that you're nothing but an underling
We're talkin' trash, we kick it kind of cocky
You can't deny it though, the drums are good and sloppy
The funky beat is playin' and we're swingin' along
The Underground is rockin' with the hip-hop song
The funky drums are ringin' with the serious tone
Ah, clock this y'all, we're on the microphone
Ah, emcees like the way we swing (They like the way we swing)
'Cause America likes the way we swing
You're triple-slippin', you're triple-slippin'
You're triple-slippin' (Yo, man), you rhyme like a school teacher
About convincing as a preacher who smokes reefer
Why don't you give it up? Just put the mic down
Get out of town with that noise, this is the Underground
Not your average everyday rap crew
You can tell by the things we say, the things that we do
The funky beat is playin' and we're swing along
Ah, clock this y'all, we're on the microphone
Ah, emcees, you like the way we swing? (Ya like the way we swing?)
'Cause America, ahh, likes the way we swing
And ya don't stop
[Bridge]
Emcees, they don't know
Emcees, they don't know
Emcees, they don't know
Emcees, what I know
DJs, they don't know
DJs, they don't know
DJs, they don't know
DJs, what I know

[Verse 4]
You see, we have no time for suckers
Who bite with their lowers and their uppers
We came here to play and what we really wanna say is
Emcees, why don't you take the chill pill?
You really need to listen to the way we spill
Ah, these rhymes, we don't have time to drop a dime
Every time a sucker thief gets away with a line
Their mouths keep suckin' 'cause they ain't got nothin'
But they best stop fuckin' with the masters

[Outro]
Emcees, you like the way we swing? (You like the way we swing?)
Yeah, 'cause America, likes the way we swing
Emcees, you like the way we swing?
'Cause Africa, likes the way we swing
Emcees, you like the way we swing?
'Cause down in Australia, they love the way we swing
Emcees, you like the way we swing?
Yo, 'cause Zimbabwe likes the way we swing (And ya don't stop)
Ahh, emcees, you like the way we swing?
'Cause over in the Philippines they love the way we swing
Yeah, emcees, you like the way we swing?
Don't you know the UK, y'all, likes the way we swing?
Ahh, emcees, huh, you like the way we swing?
Even in Cleveland, they like the way we swing
Emcees, you like the way we swing?
Japan likes the way we swing
(Kick it, Shock) And ya don't stop
Ah keep on gonna rock 'til we hit the top
Ah, one time, in your mind y'all
Get busy, get busy, get busy, get busy
