Roki

Is this thing on?
Yeah, baby, that’s what I’m talking about

Rap and rock and roll
Ey, rise and shine
Post all-nighter, eight o’clock, hangin’ tough
Vox AC30 Watt, crank it up
Second-hand telecaster, pats on the back for the boys in the band, sup, yaho

Switch off for the side-gig, slow down
At field round the band showdowns
Wanna play like you shy, like you so ain’t the guy
Can’t hide forever, boy

Listen well, guys and gals
Money, fame, fortune talent
Ya can’t dance around it
They’ll just tie you down

Boys, be ambitious
That’s right
Like this old man
Hey you, with the bangs and the attitude
Who’s the one that cha’ bow, chika-wow-chika bowing down to?
Down to?
Down to?

But don’t you get twisted, you’re the one that’s in control!

Rockin’, rockin’ out, rap and rock and roll
Strummin’ that guitar to the rhythm that just
Won’t stop
Don’t stop
Let me see ya let it out
Rest in peace to any doubt, keep
Rockin’, rockin’ out, rap and rock and roll

Alright, so hold up, like, what’s the plan?
Write a first-rate banger like I know we can
In the worst case
Hang around same shit underground
Got a rep, not a crown, so what?
You got somethin’ to say?
Ya better say it loud

You got a whack-ass-sound, a little more profound, please
What’cha on, anon?
It goes on and on
An on and off switch, for opinions?
Not by a long shot when you’re hot, gotta take the heat

Don’t let it burn ya, though, because the streets demand ya stay tough
With the makeup, glamour n’ style
You can fake you gangster a little while

But see, boys, be ambitious
Like this old man
Getcha’ game face on, at the same rate?
Gone real fast, make it last
No flash, better take that selfie
Selfie
Selfie
You ain’t gonna die on me, we gotta stay alive

Rockin’, rockin’ out, rap and rock and roll
Even songs of love bring emotion that just
Won’t stop
Don’t stop
She’s the girl, it might be love
Seize her world and light it up by
Rockin’, rockin’ out, rap and rock and roll

Break it down

So we don’t wanna half-ass this, playin’ to the masses
Mark where your head is in, not where your past is
Ey yo, where the throat medicine?
Gimme, gimme that preassure and apprehension
Keep stressin’, depressin’, and leavin’ em’ guessin’
Under the weather?
Disbelief suspension
Sorry guys, I do apologize, sick as hell, can’t ya tell?
That my voice just up and died

Hun?
Hun?
Hun?
Hun?

Get a grip, cut that shit
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
Baby
You ain’t gonna die on me, we gotta stay alive

Rockin’, rockin’ out, rap and rock and roll
Strummin’ that guitar to the rhythm that just
Won’t stop
Don’t stop
Let me see ya let it out
Rest in peace to any doubt, keep
Rockin’, rockin’ out, rap and rock and roll
Rockin’, rockin’ out
Rap and rock and roll
(Rap and rock and roll)
Oh, la, la, la, la
Proving I won’t die here
You ain’t dyin’ either
Music, rhyme and fire
It’s how we stay alive

Rap and rock and roll
Alright ladies, pack it up, see ya next Tuesday
