[Intro]
There's nothing wrong with your radio, just turn it up

Turn it up!

Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough!

[Verse 1]
I'm potent
Just like a powerful force driven by ancient spirits
Feel it‚ hear it
A metaphor for living
Bass‚ amplified when fully applied
All adversaries become terrified
Because I takes mine and decode 'em
Then erode 'em
Feed 'em information‚ program 'em and explode 'em
Blow 'em out of proportion, create distortion
Read the label and proceed with caution
'Cause I'm on it and I want it
To put you in a trance, make you dance
Like you're in a coma 'cause you tried to go home a
Moment too slow‚ but now you can't go
What you're hearing has you steering
Dancing, tearing and comparing
Me to the others that do exploit
This field in which I am so adroit
'Cause other rappers on the sideline use me as a guideline
Take what I say, rewind and combine
What I'm saying‚ with what they wanna say
And I guarantee they're gonna say
Something petty, 'cause they're not ready
I am real and they're confetti
My rhymes are legit, their rhymes are counterfeit
Their rhymes are miscellaneous, mine's the opposite
If you're standing up you're rocking if you're sitting on edge
If I put up a flag, I know you'd pledge
Allegiance to me, Kool Moe Dee
New York City's number one MC
You see I have a talent, I never lost
I might chill for awhile but I could never fall off
And even if I whisper I'm always louder
Then any other rapper and they'll say "How the
Hell does he do that?"Then say "Ooh that
Rhyme is smokin', Moe Dee's not jokin'"
Everybody scream 'cause the king has spoken
[Chorus]
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough!

[Verse 2]
Ladies, and gentlemen
Just like Yankee Doodle this rhyme's a dandy
Sweet like sugar, tastes like candy
My mic's like a wipe when it comes in handy
Rocks the Appalachians on down to the Andes
A chosen rhyme composer, like Mozart
My rhymes are unique as Picasso's art
What I write on the canvas always comes out on
It won't take to wear it Yves Saint Laurent
Would be proud of what I wrote
Because what I designed is very genuine
You wanna wear my rhyme
Lots of life, lots of color, but not too loud
When I see your reaction it makes me proud
Just to be me, Kool Moe Dee
The computed, undisputed, champion MC
Too tough, lotta bluff, long rhymes are ferocious
Always sound good because I always notice
What to say on Saturday
And have rockin' 'til Sunday
And when you go to church and clap your hands and pray
I'll have everybody rockin' 'til Monday
And make you freak-freak through the rest of the week
Friday is my day when I reach my peak
Breakdown!
[Chorus]
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough!

[Verse 3]
Once I enter, the party I'm the center
Of attention not to mention that I really meant to
Place with taste lots of bass in your face
Put voices on tape you won't erase
That's Uncle Rush here's the Cold Crush
Other MCs hush when party people rush
To the front just to see me, Kool Moe Dee
Special K, Sunshine and we're the Treacherous Three
We turn it out without a doubt while other MCs pout
Add zest to the party like sauerkraut
To the [?] let me tell you my rank
I'm the captain of the ship, you walk the plank

[Chorus]
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough!
[Verse 4]
Give me a mic, a stage and a rhythm
A participating crowd and in return I'll give 'em
A double dose of what's considered the most
Outlandish style of rap and like a ghost
I'm very feared but very hard to believe
And other rappers are so scared 'cause they won't even
Say my name in a negative way
Because I laugh at a joke, but I don't play
The weak ones I'll wax, the wack ones I attack
'Cause I'll shame 'em and tame 'em
'Til they learn how to act
I'm like a rising star going straight to the top
I'm like a roller coaster, without the drop
In Russia I'd be a czar, in Iran I'd be a shah
But in America, I'm known as Kool Moe Dee just a star
The K double O L-M-O-E
The coolest of the cool and they call me Moe Dee!

[Chorus]
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Say turn it up! (Turn it up!)
We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough!

[Outro]
Yeah!
Yeah!
