The Down Beat Sugarhill Gang (Ft. Kory-O)

The down beat
Get on the down beat
The down beat

False alarm, there is no fire
The smoke you're seeing comes from my a-
Stonishing rhythm combined with the beat
My voice is the smoke, my rhymes are the heat
Correlated MC quench ready to burst
With flavor, a party saver, but first
Note; my rhymes are pouring, ready to combust
Flammable to biters, so my advice is just
To play

The down beat

Now if you wanna be down, you gotta get a down beat
But if the beat ain't funky, then the rap is obsolete
In order to be complete, or solid as concrete
You got to pumpin' and pumpin', with a funky funky downbeat

It's the down beat

When the bass is kicking, and the hi-hat's ticking
You're on a natural high, because the beat is fly
Captivating, stimulating and other [?]
And for the fresh beat lovers, we're granting your wish
And for the biters, there' s a brand new dish
So come on, eat it up, I know you're hungry
And if you want a funky beat, bon appetit
