I'm struttin' down the boulevard, I stop and grab a drink
The pusher man comes sliddin' up, says boy got what you need
I got ups and I got downs, the whites and the greens
Do you toke or do you smoke, I said man that ain't for me
Just give me the beat
That's all I need
Just give me the beat
That's all I need

About that time a Cadillac comes bumpin' down the street
Hits its breaks and pops the trunk, says this you got to see
I've got chains and diamond rings, eight tracks and LP's
Do you like my merchandise, said still that ain't for me
Just give me the beat
That's all I need
Just give me the beat
That's all I need

Night loss

He throws his cape around my back, says kid just come with me
You haven't seen my stable yet, got every kind of breed
Step inside and meet the girls, Sheila and Janine
Legs for days they go both ways, still that ain't for me
Just give me the beat
That's all I need
Just give me the beat
That's all I need
