Rock & Roll Lyrics - G. Love & Special Sauce

This is rock n' roll shouts out 

Back to the rappers 

A lot of people stake claims 

Saying hip hop doesn't matter 

But really what could be phatter than 

Jungle j.b's beats and streetside sounds 

Profound are the sounds 

That I was hearing 

When at the basketball league 

This kid said "yo come here and 

Put these head phones on your ears" 

I was converted then 

And practiced it for years 

Rap music, like jazz, funk and r&b 

Blues reggae rock n' roll, and rock steady g. 

Will be around forever 

And it's never going out 

That's why I took this time to spell these lyrics out 

I wanna give thanx to the lyricists mc's 

And dj's that brought me near to this 

Blastmaster, krs-one the teacher 

Run d-m-c and the movie beat street 

Erik b. and rakim was paid in full 

De la soul came along and broke all the rules 

I remember when my girl bought me tribe called quest 

We broke up later but I kept the cassette 

Kool moe dee, doug e. fresh, big daddy kane 

Main source, pharcyde and dana dane 

Steady b on the hilltop 

With lady b on power 99 west philly 

Cypress hill, the goats and das efx 

Tupac, epmd 

Lets see who's next 

Jungle brothers, gang starr and bizmarkie jazzy jeff, the fresh prince 

Puts summer in my ears 

Slick rick, funk doobie and the beastie boys 

And all the rest that make some noise 

There's plenty more people that's comin on 

And the list could run 

Til the break of dawn 

But right now yo 

Its back to the bluesman 

Trippin', rollin', flyin' or just cruisin' 

Yeah fire it up 

Eh yo do it right 

We gonna go go until the mornin light 

Its justa rock n' roll 

A little bit of rock n' roll 

I like a rock and roll 

And give me some rock n' roll 

Oh la oh la yeah
