I Luv Rap Music The Swirling Eddies

[Intro]
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, I really do appreciate it. You know, some people out there are giving rap a bad name. But as the young people say, I ain't down wid dat. But anyway, this is a song that I think expresses all of our feelings, everyone here in the room. I love rap music.

[Verse 1]
Rap music, the sound of the times
You sorta talk lyrics to rhythm and rhyme
And then deliver in various ways
You know, some sorta preach and some sorta play
Nevertheless, there's some common ground
You need the def hip-hop sound
The hyped up bass and a tiny snare
The sub-whopper makes your neighbor stare

[Chorus]
But hey, I love rap music
I always have and I always will

[Verse 2]
Now rap started as the voice of the streets
A sorta politics to a ghetto beat
Then rappers started bragging all about their gold
And the girlies and the beepers and the big, black oldsmobile
In '83, the beatbox hit
Making funky drum sounds popping out of your lips
But taking on new forms, rap has moved from the block
Now some mix it with soul and some mix it with rock
I don't care how you do it!
