Rapper's Delight [Long Version]
Edward Bernard, Giles Goodman, Mark Summers, Nile Rodgers
I said a hip hop, the hippie, the hippie
The hip hip hop and you don't stop the rockin'
To the bang-bang, boogie, say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Now, what you hear is not a test I'm rappin' to the beat
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
You see, I am Wonder Mike, and I'd like to say hello
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown
The purple and yellow, but first, I gotta
Bang bang, the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie, to the bang-bang boogie
Let's rock, you don't stop
Rock the rhythm that'll make your body rock
Well, so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along
And the next on the mic is my man Hank
C'mon, Hank, sing that song
Check it out, I'm the C-A-S-A-N, the O-V-A
And the rest is F-L-Y
You see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix
And these reasons I'll tell you why
You see, I'm six foot one, and I'm tons of fun
And I dress to a T
You see, I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali
And I dress so viciously
I got bodyguards, I got two big cars
That definitely ain't the wack
I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac
So after school I take a dip in the pool
Which is really on the wall
I got a color TV, so I can see
The Knicks play basketball, hear me talkin' 'bout
Checkbook, credit cards, mo' money
Than a sucker could ever spend
But I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum from the Rucker
Not a dime 'til I made it again, everybody go
Hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
Yes, I'm gon' get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin'
Drive off in a def OJ
Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
Master Gee, my mellow
It's on you, so whatcha gonna do?
Well, it's on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
I said M-A-S, T-E-R, a G with a double E
I said I go by the unforgettable name
Of the man they call the Master Gee
Well, my name is known all over the world
By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
I'm goin' down in history
As the baddest rapper there ever could be
Now I'm feelin' the highs and you're feelin' the lows
The beat starts gettin' into your toes
You start poppin' your fingers and stompin' your feet
And you're movin' your body while you're sitting in your seat
And then damn, ya start doin' the freak
I said, bam, right outta your seat
Then ya throw your hands high in the air
Ya rocking to the rhythm, shake your derriere
Ya rocking to the beat without a care
With the sure-shot m.C.s for the affair
Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
But I rap to the beat just the same
I got a little face and a pair of brown eyes
All I'm here to do, ladies, is hypnotize
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Like a hot buttered pop-da-pop-da-pop, dibbie dibbie
Pop-da-pop-pop, you don't dare stop
Come alive, y'all, gimme whatcha got
I guess by now you can take a hunch
And find that I am the baby of the bunch
But that's okay, I still keep in stride
'Cause all I'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-and-on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Rock, rock, y'all, throw it on the floor
I'm gonna freak you here, I'm gonna freak you there
I'm gonna move you outta this atmosphere
'Cause I'm one of a kind and I'll shock your mind
I'll put the ji-ji-jiggles in your behind, a-said
One, two, three, four, come on, girls, get on the floor
A-come alive, y'all, a-gimme whatcha got
'Cause I'm guaranteed to make you rock
I said one, two, three, four
Tell me, Wonder Mike, what are you waiting for?
Said-a hip hop, the hippie, to the hippie
The hip hip hop and you don't stop rockin'
To the bang-bang, the boogie, say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
A skiddleebebop, we rock, a scooby doo
And guess what, America? We love you
'Cause you rocked and a rolled with so much soul
You could rock 'til a hundred and one years old
I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
Rock it out, a-Baby Bubba
Baby Bubba to the boogie, the bang-bang, the boogie
To the beat, beat, it's so unique
Come on everybody and dance to the beat
Hip hop, the hippie, the hippie
To the hip hip hop-a, you don't stop
Rock it out, baby bubba to the boogie, the bang-bang
The boogie, to the boogie, the beat
I said I can't wait 'til the end of the week
When I'm rapping to the rhythm of a groovy beat
And attempt to raise your body heat
Just blow your mind so that you can't speak
And do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
And let it change up to a dance called The Freak
And when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
Rest a little while so ya don't get weak
I know a man named Hank
He has more rhymes than a serious bank
So come on Hank sing that song
To the rhythm of the boogie, the bang-bang, the bong
Well, I'm Imp the Dimp, the ladies' pimp
The women fight for my delight
But I'm the grandmaster with the three MCs
That shock the house for the young ladies
And when you come inside, into the front
You do the Freak, Spank, and do the Bump
And when the sucker MC's try to prove a point
We're treacherous trio with a serious joint
From sun to sun and from day to day
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
Because they say that miracles never cease
I've created a devastating masterpiece
I'm gonna rock the mic 'til you can't resist
Everybody, I say it goes like this
Well, I was coming home late one dark afternoon
Reporter stopped me for an interview
She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
That I'm vicious on the mic and the turntable
This young reporter I did adore
So I rocked some vicious rhymes like I never did before
She said, "Damn, fly guy, I'm in love with you
The Casanova legend must have been true"
I said, "By the way, baby, what's your name?"
Said, "I go by the name, Lois Lane"
"And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can
Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman"
I said, "He's a fairy, I do suppose
Flyin' through the air in pantyhose
He may be very sexy, or even cute
But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit"
I said, "You need a man who has got finesse
And his whole name across his chest
He may be able to fly all through the night
But can he rock a party 'til the early light?
He can't satisfy you with his little worm
But I can bust you out with my super sperm"
I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do it
And I'm here and I'm there, I'm Big Bad Hank, I'm everywhere
Just throw your hands up in the air
And party harder like you just don't care
Let's do it, don't stop, y'all, a-tick tock, y'all, you don't stop
A-go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
Yes, I'm gon' get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin'
Drive off in a def OJ
Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
I say skip, dive, what can I say?
I can't fit 'em all inside my OJ
So I just take half and bust 'em out
I give the rest to Master Gee so he can shock the house
It was twelve o'clock one Friday night
I was rocking to the beat, feeling all right
Everybody was dancing on the floor
Doing all the things they never did before
And then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
She came into the party, she came into the scene
As she traveled deeper inside the room
All the fellas checked out her white Sasson
She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
Then she turned around and shook her behind
So I said to myself, its time for me to release
My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece
And now people in the house this is just for you
A little rap to make you boogaloo
Now the group ya hear is called Phase 2
And let me tell ya something we're a hell of a crew
Once a week we're on the street
Just a-cutting the jams and making it freak
For you to party, got to have the move
So we'll get right down and give you a groove
For you to dance you gotta get hype
So we'll get right down and make you rock
Now system's on and the girls are there
Ya definitely have a rocking affair
But let me tell ya something there's still one fact
That to have a party, got to have a rap
So when the party's over, you're making it home
And trying to sleep before the break of dawn
And while ya sleeping ya start to dream
And thinking how ya danced on the disco scene
Our name appears in your mind
Yeah, a name you know that was right on time
It was Phase 2 just a doing a do
Rocking ya down 'cause ya know we could
To the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
Come alive girls get on your feet
To the rhythm of the beat, to the beat, the beat
To the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
To the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
On and on until the break of dawn
Now I got a man coming on right now
He's guaranteed to throw down
He goes by the name of Wonder Mike
Come on Wonder Mike do what ya like
I said a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
Like a millionaire that has no money
Like a rainy day that is not wet
Like a gambling fiend that does not bet
Like Dracula without his fangs
Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
Like collard greens that don't taste good
Like a tree that's not made out of wood
Like going up and not coming down
Is just like the beat without the sound no sound
To the beat beat, ya do the freak
Everybody just rock and dance to the beat
Have you ever went over a friend's house to eat
And the food just ain't no good?
I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas all mushed
And the chicken tastes like wood
So you try to play it off like you think you can
By saying that you're full
And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull"
So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
And you say that you already ate
And your friend says "Man, there's plenty of food"
So he piles some more on your plate
While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin'
Of the moment that it's time to leave
And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin'
Into something that looks like cheese
Oh, so you say, "That's it, I gotta leave this place
I don't care what these people think
I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
With this ugly food that stinks"
So you bust out the door while it's still closed
Still sick from the food you ate
And then you run to the store for quick relief
From a bottle of Kaopectate
And then you call your friend two weeks later
To see how he has been
And he says, "I understand about the food
Baby Bubba, but we're still friends"
With a hip hop, the hippie, to the hippie
The hip hip hop and you don't stop the rockin'
To the bang-bang, boogie, say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
I say Hank can ya rock?
Can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop?
Can ya hip me to the shoobie doo?
I said come on, make, make the people move
I go to the halls and then ring the bell
Because I am the man with the clientele
And if ya ask me why I rock so well
I'm Big Bank, I got clientele
And from the time I was only six years old
I never forgot what I was told
It was the best advice that I ever had
It came from my wise dear old dad
He said, "Sit down punk, I wanna talk to you
And don't say a word until I'm through
Now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
A time to live and a time to die
A time to break and a time to chill
To act civilized or act real ill
But whatever ya do in your lifetime
Ya never let a MC steal your rhyme"
So from '66 'til this very day
I'll always remember what he had to say
So when the sucker MCs try to chump my style
I let them know that I'm versatile
I got style finesse and a little black book
That's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look
But the thing that separates you from me
And that is called originality
Because my rhymes are on from what you've heard
I didn't even bite and not a goddamn word
And I say a little more later on tonight
So the sucker MCs can bite all night
A-tick-a-tock y'all, a-beat-beat y'all
A-let-s rock y'all ya don't stop
A-go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
Yes, I'm gon' get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin'
Drive off in a def OJ
Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friends
A like that y'all, to the beat y'all
Beat-beat y'all, ya don't stop
A-master Gee, my mellow
It's on you so whatcha gonna do?
Well like Johnny Carson on the Late Show
A-like Frankie Crocker in stereo
Well, like the Bar-Kays singing "Holy Ghost"
The sounds to throw down, they're played the most
Just like my man Captain Sky
Whose name he earned with his super sperm
We rock and we don't stop
Get off y'all, I'm here to give you whatcha got
To the beat that makes you freak
And come alive, girl, get on your feet
A-like a Perry Mason without a case
Like Farrah Fawcett without her face
Like the Bar-Kays on the mic
Like getting right down for you tonight
Like moving your body so ya don't know how
Right to the rhythm and throw down
Like coming alive to the Master Gee
The brother who rocks so viciously
I said the age of one my life begun
At the age of two I was doing the do
At the age of three it was you and me
Rocking to the sounds of the Master Gee
At the age of four I was on the floor
Giving all the freaks what they bargained for
At the age of five I didn't take no jive
With the Master Gee it's all the way live
At the age of six I was a picking up sticks
Rapping to the beat my stick was fixed
At the age of seven I was rocking in Heaven
Dontcha know I went off?
I got right on down to the beat, you see
Getting right on down making all the girls
Just take off their clothes to the beat the beat
To the double beat beat that makes you freak
At the age of eight I was really great
'Cause every night you see I had a date
At the age of nine I was right on time
'Cause every night I had a party rhyme
Going on and on and on on and on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Like a hot buttered pop-da-pop-da-pop
Going, going, on-and-and-on and don't you dare stop
A-rock, rock y'all, give me what ya got
'Cause I'm a hell of a man when I'm on the mike
And I am the definite feast delight
I'm a hell of a man when I'm on the mike
I am the definite feast delight
They call me the Master Gee, you see
The brother who rocks so viciously
I'm gonna move you here, I'm gonna move you there
I'm gonna move you outta this atmosphere
'Cause I'm one of a kind and I'll shock your mind
I'll put the ji-ji-jiggles in your behind
Said you done rock it to the East, you're moving to the West
Moving to the middle of love, that's the best
Master Gee is gettin' on, takin' all the girls
I said a hip hop, the hippie, the hippie
Ich sagte einen Hip Hop, den Hippie, den Hippie
The hip hip hop and you don't stop the rockin'

To the black, to the white, the red and the brown
Zum Schwarzen, zum Weißen, zum Roten und Braunen

Zum Lila und Gelben, aber zuerst muss ich

Bang bang, den Boogie zum Boogie
Say up jump the boogie, to the bang-bang boogie
Sag hoch springt der Boogie, zum Bang-Bang Boogie

Than a sucker could ever spend
Als ein Trottel jemals ausgeben könnte
But I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum from the Rucker

The beat starts gettin' into your toes
Der Beat fängt an, in deine Zehen zu kommen
You start poppin' your fingers and stompin' your feet
Du fängst an, mit den Fingern zu schnippen und mit den Füßen zu stampfen

Und nichts anderes tun kannst als zu rocken und deine Füße zu shuffeln
And let it change up to a dance called The Freak
Und lass es zu einem Tanz namens The Freak wechseln

Die das Haus für die jungen Damen schockieren

Und wenn du reinkommst, in den Vordergrund
You do the Freak, Spank, and do the Bump

And when the sucker MC's try to prove a point
Und wenn die Sauger MCs versuchen, einen Punkt zu beweisen
We're treacherous trio with a serious joint
Wir sind das tückische Trio mit einem ernsthaften Joint
From sun to sun and from day to day
Von Sonne zu Sonne und von Tag zu Tag
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
Ich setze mich hin und schreibe einen brandneuen Reim
Because they say that miracles never cease
Denn sie sagen, dass Wunder nie aufhören
I've created a devastating masterpiece
Ich habe ein verheerendes Meisterwerk geschaffen

Have you ever went over a friend's house to eat
Warst du jemals bei einem Freund zu Hause zum Essen
And the food just ain't no good?
Und das Essen ist einfach nicht gut?
I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas all mushed
Ich meine, die Makkaroni sind matschig, die Erbsen alle zermatscht
And the chicken tastes like wood
Und das Hühnchen schmeckt nach Holz
So you try to play it off like you think you can
Also versuchst du es abzuspielen, als ob du denkst, du könntest
By saying that you're full
Indem du sagst, dass du satt bist
And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
Und dann sagt dein Freund: „Mama, er ist nur höflich
He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull"
Er hat noch nicht fertig, uh-uh, das ist Bullshit“
So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
Also fängt dein Herz an zu pumpen und du denkst an eine Lüge
And you say that you already ate
Und du sagst, dass du schon gegessen hast
And your friend says "Man, there's plenty of food"
Und dein Freund sagt „Mann, es gibt genug Essen“
So he piles some more on your plate
Also häuft er noch mehr auf deinen Teller
While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin'
Während das stinkende Essen dampft, fängt dein Geist an zu träumen
Of the moment that it's time to leave
Von dem Moment, in dem es Zeit ist zu gehen
And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin'
Und dann schaust du auf deinen Teller und dein Hühnchen verrottet langsam
Into something that looks like cheese
In etwas, das aussieht wie Käse
Oh, so you say, "That's it, I gotta leave this place
Oh, also sagst du, „Das ist es, ich muss diesen Ort verlassen
I don't care what these people think
Es ist mir egal, was diese Leute denken
I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
Ich sitze hier nur und mache mich selbst übel
With this ugly food that stinks"
Mit diesem hässlichen Essen, das stinkt“
So you bust out the door while it's still closed
Also stürzt du aus der Tür, während sie noch geschlossen ist
Still sick from the food you ate
Immer noch krank von dem Essen, das du gegessen hast
And then you run to the store for quick relief
Und dann rennst du zum Laden für schnelle Erleichterung
From a bottle of Kaopectate
Von einer Flasche Kaopectate
And then you call your friend two weeks later
Und dann rufst du deinen Freund zwei Wochen später an
To see how he has been
Um zu sehen, wie es ihm geht
And he says, "I understand about the food
Und er sagt, „Ich verstehe das mit dem Essen
Baby Bubba, but we're still friends"
Baby Bubba, aber wir sind immer noch Freunde“

Er kam von meinem weisen lieben alten Vater
He said, "Sit down punk, I wanna talk to you
Er sagte, „Setz dich hin Punk, ich will mit dir reden
And don't say a word until I'm through
Und sag kein Wort, bis ich fertig bin
Now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
Jetzt gibt es eine Zeit zum Lachen eine Zeit zum Weinen

And that is called originality
Und das nennt man Originalität
Because my rhymes are on from what you've heard
Denn meine Reime sind an von dem, was du gehört hast
I didn't even bite and not a goddamn word

Por todas las chicas zorras y las chicas bonitas
I'm goin' down in history
Voy a pasar a la historia
As the baddest rapper there ever could be
Como el rapero más malo que podría haber
Now I'm feelin' the highs and you're feelin' the lows
Ahora estoy sintiendo los altos y tú estás sintiendo los bajos
The beat starts gettin' into your toes
El ritmo empieza a entrar en tus dedos de los pies
You start poppin' your fingers and stompin' your feet
Empiezas a mover tus dedos y a pisar fuerte
And you're movin' your body while you're sitting in your seat
Y estás moviendo tu cuerpo mientras estás sentado en tu asiento
And then damn, ya start doin' the freak
Y entonces maldita sea, empiezas a hacer el freak
I said, bam, right outta your seat
Dije, bam, directo desde tu asiento
Then ya throw your hands high in the air
Entonces lanzas tus manos al aire
Ya rocking to the rhythm, shake your derriere
Te balanceas al ritmo, mueves tu trasero
Ya rocking to the beat without a care
Te balanceas al ritmo sin preocuparte
With the sure-shot m.C.s for the affair
Con los seguros m.C.s para el asunto
Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
Ahora, no soy tan alto como el resto de la pandilla
But I rap to the beat just the same
Pero rapeo al ritmo de la misma manera
I got a little face and a pair of brown eyes
Tengo una carita y un par de ojos marrones
All I'm here to do, ladies, is hypnotize
Todo lo que estoy aquí para hacer, damas, es hipnotizar
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Cantando on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
El ritmo no para hasta el amanecer
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Cantando on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Like a hot buttered pop-da-pop-da-pop, dibbie dibbie
Como una mantequilla caliente pop-da-pop-da-pop, dibbie dibbie
Pop-da-pop-pop, you don't dare stop
Pop-da-pop-pop, no te atreves a parar
Come alive, y'all, gimme whatcha got
Vengan vivos, todos, denme lo que tienen
I guess by now you can take a hunch
Supongo que a estas alturas puedes hacer una suposición
And find that I am the baby of the bunch
Y descubrir que soy el bebé del grupo
But that's okay, I still keep in stride
Pero eso está bien, todavía sigo el ritmo
'Cause all I'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
Porque todo lo que estoy aquí para hacer es mover tu trasero
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-and-on
Cantando on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
El ritmo no para hasta el amanecer
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Cantando on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Rock, rock, y'all, throw it on the floor
Rock, rock, todos, tírenlo al suelo
I'm gonna freak you here, I'm gonna freak you there
Voy a asustarte aquí, voy a asustarte allí
I'm gonna move you outta this atmosphere
Voy a moverte fuera de esta atmósfera
'Cause I'm one of a kind and I'll shock your mind
Porque soy uno de los suyos y voy a sorprender tu mente
I'll put the ji-ji-jiggles in your behind, a-said
Voy a poner los ji-ji-jiggles en tu trasero, dije
One, two, three, four, come on, girls, get on the floor
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, vamos, chicas, salgan al suelo
A-come alive, y'all, a-gimme whatcha got
Vengan vivos, todos, denme lo que tienen
'Cause I'm guaranteed to make you rock
Porque estoy garantizado para hacerlos rockear
I said one, two, three, four
Dije uno, dos, tres, cuatro
Tell me, Wonder Mike, what are you waiting for?
Dime, Wonder Mike, ¿qué estás esperando?
Said-a hip hop, the hippie, to the hippie
Dije un hip hop, el hippie, al hippie
The hip hip hop and you don't stop rockin'
El hip hip hop y no dejas de rockear
To the bang-bang, the boogie, say up jump the boogie
Al bang-bang, el boogie, di salta el boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Al ritmo del boogie, el beat
A skiddleebebop, we rock, a scooby doo
Un skiddleebebop, nosotros rockeamos, un scooby doo
And guess what, America? We love you
Y adivina qué, América? Te amamos
'Cause you rocked and a rolled with so much soul
Porque rockeaste y rodaste con tanto alma
You could rock 'til a hundred and one years old
Podrías rockear hasta los cien y un años
I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
No quiero presumir, no quiero jactarme
But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
Pero nos gusta la mantequilla caliente en nuestra tostada de desayuno
Rock it out, a-Baby Bubba
Rockéalo, a-Baby Bubba
Baby Bubba to the boogie, the bang-bang, the boogie
Baby Bubba al boogie, el bang-bang, el boogie
To the beat, beat, it's so unique
Al beat, beat, es tan único
Come on everybody and dance to the beat
Vamos todos y bailen al ritmo
Hip hop, the hippie, the hippie
Hip hop, el hippie, el hippie
To the hip hip hop-a, you don't stop
Al hip hip hop-a, no pares
Rock it out, baby bubba to the boogie, the bang-bang
Rockéalo, baby bubba al boogie, el bang-bang
The boogie, to the boogie, the beat
El boogie, al boogie, el beat
I said I can't wait 'til the end of the week
Dije que no puedo esperar hasta el fin de semana
When I'm rapping to the rhythm of a groovy beat
Cuando estoy rapeando al ritmo de un beat groovy
And attempt to raise your body heat
E intento subir tu calor corporal
Just blow your mind so that you can't speak
Solo volar tu mente para que no puedas hablar
And do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
Y hacer una cosa pero un rock y mover tus pies
And let it change up to a dance called The Freak
Y dejar que cambie a un baile llamado The Freak
And when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
Y cuando finalmente entras en tu ritmo rítmico
Rest a little while so ya don't get weak
Descansa un poco para que no te debilites
I know a man named Hank
Conozco a un hombre llamado Hank
He has more rhymes than a serious bank
Tiene más rimas que un banco serio
So come on Hank sing that song
Así que ven Hank canta esa canción
To the rhythm of the boogie, the bang-bang, the bong
Al ritmo del boogie, el bang-bang, el bong
Well, I'm Imp the Dimp, the ladies' pimp
Bueno, soy Imp el Dimp, el proxeneta de las damas
The women fight for my delight
Las mujeres luchan por mi deleite
But I'm the grandmaster with the three MCs
Pero soy el gran maestro con los tres MCs
That shock the house for the young ladies
Que sacuden la casa para las jóvenes damas
And when you come inside, into the front
Y cuando entras, hacia el frente
You do the Freak, Spank, and do the Bump
Haces el Freak, Spank, y haces el Bump
And when the sucker MC's try to prove a point
Y cuando los MCs tontos intentan demostrar un punto
We're treacherous trio with a serious joint
Somos un trío traicionero con un tema serio
From sun to sun and from day to day
De sol a sol y de día a día
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
Me siento y escribo una nueva rima
Because they say that miracles never cease
Porque dicen que los milagros nunca cesan
I've created a devastating masterpiece
He creado una devastadora obra maestra
I'm gonna rock the mic 'til you can't resist
Voy a rockear el micrófono hasta que no puedas resistir
Everybody, I say it goes like this
Todos, digo que va así
Well, I was coming home late one dark afternoon
Bueno, estaba volviendo a casa tarde una oscura tarde
Reporter stopped me for an interview
Una reportera me detuvo para una entrevista
She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
Dijo que había oído historias y fábulas
That I'm vicious on the mic and the turntable
Que soy despiadado en el micrófono y en el tocadiscos
This young reporter I did adore
A esta joven reportera la adoraba
So I rocked some vicious rhymes like I never did before
Así que rockeé algunas rimas despiadadas como nunca antes
She said, "Damn, fly guy, I'm in love with you
Ella dijo, "Maldita sea, chico guapo, estoy enamorada de ti
The Casanova legend must have been true"
La leyenda de Casanova debe haber sido cierta"
I said, "By the way, baby, what's your name?"
Dije, "Por cierto, cariño, ¿cómo te llamas?"
Said, "I go by the name, Lois Lane"
Dijo, "Me llamo Lois Lane"
"And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can
"Y podrías ser mi novio, seguro que puedes
Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman"
Solo déjame dejar a mi novio llamado Superman"
I said, "He's a fairy, I do suppose
Dije, "Es un hada, supongo
Flyin' through the air in pantyhose
Volando por el aire en medias
He may be very sexy, or even cute
Puede ser muy sexy, o incluso lindo
But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit"
Pero parece un tonto en un traje azul y rojo"
I said, "You need a man who has got finesse
Dije, "Necesitas un hombre que tenga finura
And his whole name across his chest
Y su nombre completo en su pecho
He may be able to fly all through the night
Puede ser capaz de volar toda la noche
But can he rock a party 'til the early light?
¿Pero puede rockear una fiesta hasta la madrugada?
He can't satisfy you with his little worm
No puede satisfacerte con su pequeño gusano
But I can bust you out with my super sperm"
Pero yo puedo reventarte con mi super esperma"
I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do it
Voy a hacerlo, voy a hacerlo, voy a hacerlo, hacerlo, hacerlo
And I'm here and I'm there, I'm Big Bad Hank, I'm everywhere
Y estoy aquí y allá, soy Big Bad Hank, estoy en todas partes
Just throw your hands up in the air
Solo levanta tus manos al aire
And party harder like you just don't care
Y festeja más duro como si no te importara
Let's do it, don't stop, y'all, a-tick tock, y'all, you don't stop
Hagámoslo, no pares, todos, a-tick tock, todos, no pares
A-go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
A-ir al hotel, motel, ¿qué vas a hacer hoy? (¿Decir qué?)
Yes, I'm gon' get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin'
Sí, voy a conseguir una chica guapa, voy a conseguir un poco de azotes
Drive off in a def OJ
Salir en un OJ def
Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
Todos van, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
Dices que si tu chica empieza a portarse mal, entonces te llevas a su amiga
I say skip, dive, what can I say?
Digo salto, buceo, ¿qué puedo decir?
I can't fit 'em all inside my OJ
No puedo meterlos a todos en mi OJ
So I just take half and bust 'em out
Así que solo tomo la mitad y los reviento
I give the rest to Master Gee so he can shock the house
Le doy el resto a Master Gee para que pueda sacudir la casa
It was twelve o'clock one Friday night
Eran las doce de la noche un viernes
I was rocking to the beat, feeling all right
Estaba rockeando al ritmo, sintiéndome bien
Everybody was dancing on the floor
Todos estaban bailando en el suelo
Doing all the things they never did before
Haciendo todas las cosas que nunca habían hecho antes
And then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
Y entonces esta chica voladora con una sexy inclinación
She came into the party, she came into the scene
Entró a la fiesta, entró en la escena
As she traveled deeper inside the room
A medida que se adentraba más en la habitación
All the fellas checked out her white Sasson
Todos los chicos revisaron su Sasson blanco
She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
Se acercó a la mesa, me miró a los ojos
Then she turned around and shook her behind
Luego se dio la vuelta y movió su trasero
So I said to myself, its time for me to release
Así que me dije a mí mismo, es hora de que libere
My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece
Mi rima despiadada que llamo mi obra maestra
And now people in the house this is just for you
Y ahora gente en la casa esto es solo para ustedes
A little rap to make you boogaloo
Un poco de rap para hacerlos boogaloo
Now the group ya hear is called Phase 2
Ahora el grupo que escuchas se llama Phase 2
And let me tell ya something we're a hell of a crew
Y déjame decirte algo somos un infierno de equipo
Once a week we're on the street
Una vez a la semana estamos en la calle
Just a-cutting the jams and making it freak
Solo cortando las jams y haciéndolo freak
For you to party, got to have the move
Para que bailes, tienes que tener el movimiento
So we'll get right down and give you a groove
Así que nos pondremos en marcha y te daremos un ritmo
For you to dance you gotta get hype
Para que bailes tienes que estar emocionado
So we'll get right down and make you rock
Así que nos pondremos en marcha y te haremos rockear
Now system's on and the girls are there
Ahora el sistema está encendido y las chicas están ahí
Ya definitely have a rocking affair
Definitivamente tendrás un asunto de rock
But let me tell ya something there's still one fact
Pero déjame decirte algo, todavía hay un hecho
That to have a party, got to have a rap
Que para tener una fiesta, tienes que tener un rap
So when the party's over, you're making it home
Así que cuando la fiesta termina, estás llegando a casa
And trying to sleep before the break of dawn
Y tratando de dormir antes del amanecer
And while ya sleeping ya start to dream
Y mientras duermes empiezas a soñar
And thinking how ya danced on the disco scene
Y pensando cómo bailaste en la escena del disco
Our name appears in your mind
Nuestro nombre aparece en tu mente
Yeah, a name you know that was right on time
Sí, un nombre que sabes que llegó a tiempo
It was Phase 2 just a doing a do
Fue Phase 2 solo haciendo un do
Rocking ya down 'cause ya know we could
Rockeándote porque sabes que podríamos
To the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
Al ritmo del beat que te hace freak
Come alive girls get on your feet
Vengan chicas, pónganse de pie
To the rhythm of the beat, to the beat, the beat
Al ritmo del beat, al beat, el beat
To the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
Al doble beat beat que te hace freak
To the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
Al ritmo del beat que dice que sigas
On and on until the break of dawn
Sigue y sigue hasta el amanecer
Now I got a man coming on right now
Ahora tengo a un hombre que viene ahora mismo
He's guaranteed to throw down
Está garantizado para derribar
He goes by the name of Wonder Mike
Se hace llamar Wonder Mike
Come on Wonder Mike do what ya like
Vamos Wonder Mike haz lo que te gusta
I said a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
Dije una lata de cerveza que es más dulce que la miel
Like a millionaire that has no money
Como un millonario que no tiene dinero
Like a rainy day that is not wet
Como un día lluvioso que no está mojado
Like a gambling fiend that does not bet
Como un adicto al juego que no apuesta
Like Dracula without his fangs
Como Drácula sin sus colmillos
Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
Como el boogie al boogie sin el boogie bang
Like collard greens that don't taste good
Como las verduras de hoja verde que no saben bien
Like a tree that's not made out of wood
Como un árbol que no está hecho de madera
Like going up and not coming down
Como subir y no bajar
Is just like the beat without the sound no sound
Es como el beat sin el sonido, sin sonido
To the beat beat, ya do the freak
Al beat beat, haces el freak
Everybody just rock and dance to the beat
Todos solo rockeen y bailen al ritmo
Have you ever went over a friend's house to eat
¿Alguna vez has ido a casa de un amigo a comer
And the food just ain't no good?
Y la comida simplemente no es buena?
I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas all mushed
Quiero decir, los macarrones están empapados, los guisantes están aplastados
And the chicken tastes like wood
Y el pollo sabe a madera
So you try to play it off like you think you can
Así que intentas disimular como crees que puedes
By saying that you're full
Diciendo que estás lleno
And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
Y entonces tu amigo dice, "Mamá, solo está siendo educado
He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull"
No ha terminado, uh-uh, eso es toro"
So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
Así que tu corazón empieza a bombear y piensas en una mentira
And you say that you already ate
Y dices que ya comiste
And your friend says "Man, there's plenty of food"
Y tu amigo dice "Hombre, hay mucha comida"
So he piles some more on your plate
Así que amontona un poco más en tu plato
While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin'
Mientras la comida apestosa está humeando, tu mente empieza a soñar
Of the moment that it's time to leave
Con el momento en que es hora de irse
And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin'
Y luego miras tu plato y tu pollo se está pudriendo lentamente
Into something that looks like cheese
En algo que parece queso
Oh, so you say, "That's it, I gotta leave this place
Oh, entonces dices, "Eso es, tengo que irme de este lugar
I don't care what these people think
No me importa lo que piensen estas personas
I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
Solo estoy aquí sentado haciéndome nauseabundo
With this ugly food that stinks"
Con esta fea comida que apesta"
So you bust out the door while it's still closed
Así que sales por la puerta mientras aún está cerrada
Still sick from the food you ate
Todavía enfermo por la comida que comiste
And then you run to the store for quick relief
Y luego corres a la tienda para un alivio rápido
From a bottle of Kaopectate
De una botella de Kaopectate
And then you call your friend two weeks later
Y luego llamas a tu amigo dos semanas después
To see how he has been
Para ver cómo ha estado
And he says, "I understand about the food
Y él dice, "Entiendo lo de la comida
Baby Bubba, but we're still friends"
Baby Bubba, pero seguimos siendo amigos"
With a hip hop, the hippie, to the hippie
Con un hip hop, el hippie, al hippie
The hip hip hop and you don't stop the rockin'
El hip hip hop y no dejas de rockear
To the bang-bang, boogie, say up jump the boogie
Al bang-bang, boogie, di salta el boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Al ritmo del boogie, el beat
I say Hank can ya rock?
Digo Hank, ¿puedes rockear?
Can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop?
¿Puedes rockear al ritmo que simplemente no se detiene?
Can ya hip me to the shoobie doo?
¿Puedes hip me al shoobie doo?
I said come on, make, make the people move
Dije vamos, haz, haz que la gente se mueva
I go to the halls and then ring the bell
Voy a los pasillos y luego toco el timbre
Because I am the man with the clientele
Porque soy el hombre con la clientela
And if ya ask me why I rock so well
Y si me preguntas por qué rockeo tan bien
I'm Big Bank, I got clientele
Soy Big Bank, tengo clientela
And from the time I was only six years old
Y desde que tenía solo seis años
I never forgot what I was told
Nunca olvidé lo que me dijeron
It was the best advice that I ever had
Fue el mejor consejo que he tenido
It came from my wise dear old dad
Vino de mi sabio y querido viejo padre
He said, "Sit down punk, I wanna talk to you
Dijo, "Siéntate punk, quiero hablar contigo
And don't say a word until I'm through
Y no digas una palabra hasta que termine
Now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
Ahora hay un tiempo para reír un tiempo para llorar
A time to live and a time to die
Un tiempo para vivir y un tiempo para morir
A time to break and a time to chill
Un tiempo para romper y un tiempo para relajarse
To act civilized or act real ill
Para actuar civilizado o actuar realmente enfermo
But whatever ya do in your lifetime
Pero hagas lo que hagas en tu vida
Ya never let a MC steal your rhyme"
Nunca dejes que un MC robe tu rima"
So from '66 'til this very day
Así que desde el '66 hasta el día de hoy
I'll always remember what he had to say
Siempre recordaré lo que tenía que decir
So when the sucker MCs try to chump my style
Así que cuando los MCs chupamedias intentan chupar mi estilo
I let them know that I'm versatile
Les hago saber que soy versátil
I got style finesse and a little black book
Tengo estilo, finura y un pequeño libro negro
That's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look
Que está lleno de rimas y sé que quieres mirar
But the thing that separates you from me
Pero lo que te separa de mí
And that is called originality
Y eso se llama originalidad
Because my rhymes are on from what you've heard
Porque mis rimas son de lo que has oído
I didn't even bite and not a goddamn word
Ni siquiera mordí ni una maldita palabra
And I say a little more later on tonight
Y digo un poco más tarde esta noche
So the sucker MCs can bite all night
Así que los MCs chupamedias pueden morder toda la noche
A-tick-a-tock y'all, a-beat-beat y'all
A-tick-a-tock y'all, a-beat-beat y'all
A-let-s rock y'all ya don't stop
A-let-s rock y'all ya no te detengas

Drive off in a def OJ
Salir en un def OJ
Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
Todos van, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friends
Dices que si tu chica empieza a actuar mal, entonces te llevas a sus amigas
A like that y'all, to the beat y'all
A like that y'all, to the beat y'all

Beat-beat y'all, ya no te detengas

Bueno, como Johnny Carson en el Late Show
A-like Frankie Crocker in stereo
A-like Frankie Crocker en estéreo
Well, like the Bar-Kays singing "Holy Ghost"
Bueno, como los Bar-Kays cantando "Holy Ghost"
The sounds to throw down, they're played the most
Los sonidos para tirar, son los que más se tocan
Just like my man Captain Sky
Justo como mi hombre Captain Sky
Whose name he earned with his super sperm
Cuyo nombre ganó con su super esperma
We rock and we don't stop
Rockeamos y no nos detenemos
Get off y'all, I'm here to give you whatcha got
Salgan todos, estoy aquí para darles lo que tienen
To the beat that makes you freak
Al ritmo que te hace freak
And come alive, girl, get on your feet
Y ven a la vida, chica, ponte de pie
A-like a Perry Mason without a case
A-like a Perry Mason sin un caso
Like Farrah Fawcett without her face
Como Farrah Fawcett sin su cara
Like the Bar-Kays on the mic
Como los Bar-Kays en el mic
Like getting right down for you tonight
Como bajando bien para ti esta noche
Like moving your body so ya don't know how
Como mover tu cuerpo para que no sepas cómo
Right to the rhythm and throw down
Derecho al ritmo y tirar
Like coming alive to the Master Gee
Como venir vivo al Master Gee

You see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix
Tu vois, je suis guidé par le code du docteur du mix
And these reasons I'll tell you why
Et ces raisons je vais te les dire
You see, I'm six foot one, and I'm tons of fun
Tu vois, je fais six pieds un, et je suis des tonnes de plaisir
And I dress to a T
Et je m'habille à la perfection
You see, I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali
Tu vois, j'ai plus de vêtements que Muhammad Ali
And I dress so viciously
Et je m'habille si vicieusement
I got bodyguards, I got two big cars
J'ai des gardes du corps, j'ai deux grosses voitures
That definitely ain't the wack
Qui ne sont certainement pas nulles
I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac
J'ai une Lincoln Continental et un Cadillac avec toit ouvrant
So after school I take a dip in the pool
Alors après l'école je fais un plongeon dans la piscine
Which is really on the wall
Qui est vraiment sur le mur
I got a color TV, so I can see
J'ai une télé couleur, donc je peux voir
The Knicks play basketball, hear me talkin' 'bout
Les Knicks jouer au basket, entendez-moi parler de
Checkbook, credit cards, mo' money
Chéquier, cartes de crédit, plus d'argent
Than a sucker could ever spend
Qu'un imbécile pourrait jamais dépenser
But I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum from the Rucker
Mais je ne donnerais pas un sou à un imbécile ou à un clochard du Rucker
Not a dime 'til I made it again, everybody go
Pas un sou jusqu'à ce que je l'ai refait, tout le monde va
Hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
Hôtel, motel, qu'est-ce que tu vas faire aujourd'hui ? (Dis quoi ?)

Drive off in a def OJ
Partir dans une def OJ
Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
Tout le monde va, "Hôtel, motel, Holiday Inn"
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
Tu dis si ta fille commence à faire des histoires, alors tu prends son amie
Master Gee, my mellow
Master Gee, mon mellow
It's on you, so whatcha gonna do?
C'est à toi, alors qu'est-ce que tu vas faire ?
Well, it's on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Eh bien, c'est on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
Le beat ne s'arrête pas jusqu'à l'aube
I said M-A-S, T-E-R, a G with a double E
J'ai dit M-A-S, T-E-R, un G avec un double E
I said I go by the unforgettable name
J'ai dit que je suis connu par le nom inoubliable
Of the man they call the Master Gee
De l'homme qu'ils appellent le Master Gee
Well, my name is known all over the world
Eh bien, mon nom est connu dans le monde entier
By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
Par toutes les femmes renardes et les jolies filles
I'm goin' down in history
Je vais entrer dans l'histoire
As the baddest rapper there ever could be
Comme le rappeur le plus méchant qu'il puisse y avoir
Now I'm feelin' the highs and you're feelin' the lows
Maintenant je ressens les hauts et tu ressens les bas
The beat starts gettin' into your toes
Le beat commence à entrer dans tes orteils
You start poppin' your fingers and stompin' your feet
Tu commences à claquer des doigts et à taper des pieds
And you're movin' your body while you're sitting in your seat
Et tu bouges ton corps pendant que tu es assis sur ton siège
And then damn, ya start doin' the freak
Et puis mince, tu commences à faire le freak
I said, bam, right outta your seat
J'ai dit, bam, directement hors de ton siège
Then ya throw your hands high in the air
Alors tu lances tes mains haut dans les airs
Ya rocking to the rhythm, shake your derriere
Tu rockes au rythme, secoue ton derrière
Ya rocking to the beat without a care
Tu rockes au beat sans te soucier
With the sure-shot m.C.s for the affair
Avec les m.C.s sûrs pour l'affaire
Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
Maintenant, je ne suis pas aussi grand que le reste du gang
But I rap to the beat just the same
Mais je rappe sur le beat de la même manière
I got a little face and a pair of brown eyes
J'ai un petit visage et une paire d'yeux marron
All I'm here to do, ladies, is hypnotize
Tout ce que je suis ici pour faire, mesdames, c'est hypnotiser
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Chantant on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
Le beat ne s'arrête pas jusqu'à l'aube
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Chantant on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on
Like a hot buttered pop-da-pop-da-pop, dibbie dibbie
Comme un pop chaud beurré pop-da-pop-da-pop, dibbie dibbie
Pop-da-pop-pop, you don't dare stop
Pop-da-pop-pop, tu n'oses pas t'arrêter
Come alive, y'all, gimme whatcha got
Venez vivant, y'all, donnez-moi ce que vous avez
I guess by now you can take a hunch
Je suppose que maintenant tu peux avoir une idée
And find that I am the baby of the bunch
Et découvrir que je suis le bébé de la bande
But that's okay, I still keep in stride
Mais c'est bon, je garde le rythme
'Cause all I'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
Parce que tout ce que je suis ici pour faire, c'est juste remuer ton derrière
Singin' on-and-and-on-and-on-and-on
Chantant on-and-and-on-and-on-on-and-on

You could rock 'til a hundred and one years old

I said I can't wait 'til the end of the week
J'ai dit que je ne peux pas attendre la fin de la semaine
When I'm rapping to the rhythm of a groovy beat
Quand je rappe sur le rythme d'un beat groovy
And attempt to raise your body heat
Et tente de monter ta chaleur corporelle
Just blow your mind so that you can't speak
Juste souffler ton esprit pour que tu ne puisses pas parler
And do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
Et ne faire qu'un rock et mélanger tes pieds
And let it change up to a dance called The Freak
Et laisse-le changer pour une danse appelée The Freak
And when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
Et quand tu arrives enfin à ton rythme
Rest a little while so ya don't get weak
Repose-toi un peu pour ne pas t'affaiblir
I know a man named Hank
Je connais un homme nommé Hank
He has more rhymes than a serious bank
Il a plus de rimes qu'une banque sérieuse
So come on Hank sing that song
Alors viens Hank chante cette chanson
To the rhythm of the boogie, the bang-bang, the bong
Au rythme du boogie, le bang-bang, le bong
Well, I'm Imp the Dimp, the ladies' pimp
Eh bien, je suis Imp le Dimp, le souteneur des dames
The women fight for my delight
Les femmes se battent pour mon plaisir
But I'm the grandmaster with the three MCs
Mais je suis le grand maître avec les trois MCs
That shock the house for the young ladies
Qui choquent la maison pour les jeunes dames
And when you come inside, into the front
Et quand tu entres, à l'avant
You do the Freak, Spank, and do the Bump
Tu fais le Freak, Spank, et fais le Bump
And when the sucker MC's try to prove a point
Et quand les MCs ventouses essaient de prouver un point
We're treacherous trio with a serious joint
Nous sommes un trio perfide avec un joint sérieux
From sun to sun and from day to day
Du soleil au soleil et du jour au jour
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
Je m'assois et j'écris une toute nouvelle rime
Because they say that miracles never cease
Parce qu'ils disent que les miracles ne cessent jamais
I've created a devastating masterpiece
J'ai créé un chef-d'œuvre dévastateur
I'm gonna rock the mic 'til you can't resist
Je vais secouer le micro jusqu'à ce que tu ne puisses résister
Everybody, I say it goes like this
Tout le monde, je dis que ça se passe comme ça
Well, I was coming home late one dark afternoon
Eh bien, je rentrais tard un après-midi sombre
Reporter stopped me for an interview
Une journaliste m'a arrêté pour une interview
She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
Elle a dit qu'elle avait entendu des histoires et des fables
That I'm vicious on the mic and the turntable
Que je suis vicieux sur le micro et la platine
This young reporter I did adore
Cette jeune reporter, je l'adorais
So I rocked some vicious rhymes like I never did before
Alors j'ai balancé des rimes vicieuses comme je ne l'avais jamais fait auparavant
She said, "Damn, fly guy, I'm in love with you
Elle a dit : "Damn, fly guy, je suis amoureuse de toi
The Casanova legend must have been true"
La légende de Casanova doit être vraie"
I said, "By the way, baby, what's your name?"
J'ai dit : "Au fait, bébé, comment tu t'appelles ?"
Said, "I go by the name, Lois Lane"
Elle a dit : "Je m'appelle Lois Lane"
"And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can
"Et tu pourrais être mon petit ami, tu peux sûrement
Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman"
Il suffit que je quitte mon petit ami appelé Superman"
I said, "He's a fairy, I do suppose
J'ai dit : "C'est une fée, je suppose
Flyin' through the air in pantyhose
Volant dans les airs en collants
He may be very sexy, or even cute
Il peut être très sexy, ou même mignon
But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit"
Mais il ressemble à un ventouse dans un costume bleu et rouge"
I said, "You need a man who has got finesse
J'ai dit : "Tu as besoin d'un homme qui a de la finesse
And his whole name across his chest
Et son nom complet sur sa poitrine
He may be able to fly all through the night
Il peut être capable de voler toute la nuit
But can he rock a party 'til the early light?
Mais peut-il faire la fête jusqu'à l'aube ?
He can't satisfy you with his little worm
Il ne peut pas te satisfaire avec son petit ver
But I can bust you out with my super sperm"
Mais je peux te faire éclater avec mon super sperme"
I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do it
Je vais le faire, je vais le faire, je vais le faire, le faire, le faire
And I'm here and I'm there, I'm Big Bad Hank, I'm everywhere
Et je suis ici et je suis là, je suis Big Bad Hank, je suis partout
Just throw your hands up in the air
Il suffit de lever les mains en l'air
And party harder like you just don't care
Et faire la fête comme si tu t'en fichais
Let's do it, don't stop, y'all, a-tick tock, y'all, you don't stop
Faisons-le, ne t'arrête pas, y'all, a-tick tock, y'all, tu ne t'arrêtes pas
A-go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
A-go hôtel, motel, qu'est-ce que tu vas faire aujourd'hui ? (Dis quoi ?)
Yes, I'm gon' get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin'
Oui, je vais avoir une fille canon, je vais avoir des fessées
Drive off in a def OJ
Partir dans une OJ déf
Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
Tout le monde dit : "Hôtel, motel, Holiday Inn"
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
Tu dis que si ta fille commence à faire des histoires, alors tu prends son amie
I say skip, dive, what can I say?
Je dis saute, plonge, que puis-je dire ?
I can't fit 'em all inside my OJ
Je ne peux pas tous les mettre dans mon OJ
So I just take half and bust 'em out
Alors je prends juste la moitié et je les fais éclater
I give the rest to Master Gee so he can shock the house
Je donne le reste à Master Gee pour qu'il puisse choquer la maison
It was twelve o'clock one Friday night
Il était minuit un vendredi soir
I was rocking to the beat, feeling all right
Je dansais sur le rythme, me sentant bien
Everybody was dancing on the floor
Tout le monde dansait sur le sol
Doing all the things they never did before
Faisant toutes les choses qu'ils n'avaient jamais faites auparavant
And then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
Et puis cette fille super sexy avec une allure sexy
She came into the party, she came into the scene
Elle est entrée dans la fête, elle est entrée dans la scène
As she traveled deeper inside the room
Comme elle voyageait plus profondément dans la pièce
All the fellas checked out her white Sasson
Tous les gars ont vérifié son Sasson blanc
She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
Elle est venue à la table, a regardé dans mes yeux
Then she turned around and shook her behind
Puis elle s'est retournée et a secoué son derrière
So I said to myself, its time for me to release
Alors je me suis dit, il est temps pour moi de libérer
My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece
Ma rime vicieuse que j'appelle mon chef-d'œuvre
And now people in the house this is just for you
Et maintenant les gens dans la maison c'est juste pour vous
A little rap to make you boogaloo
Un petit rap pour vous faire boogaloo
Now the group ya hear is called Phase 2
Maintenant le groupe que tu entends s'appelle Phase 2
And let me tell ya something we're a hell of a crew
Et laisse-moi te dire quelque chose, nous sommes une sacrée équipe
Once a week we're on the street
Une fois par semaine, nous sommes dans la rue
Just a-cutting the jams and making it freak
Juste en coupant les confitures et en les rendant freak
For you to party, got to have the move
Pour que tu fasses la fête, il faut avoir le mouvement
So we'll get right down and give you a groove
Alors on descend tout de suite et on te donne un groove
For you to dance you gotta get hype
Pour danser, il faut être excité
So we'll get right down and make you rock
Alors on descend tout de suite et on te fait rocker
Now system's on and the girls are there
Maintenant le système est en marche et les filles sont là
Ya definitely have a rocking affair
Tu as définitivement une affaire de rock
But let me tell ya something there's still one fact
Mais laisse-moi te dire quelque chose, il y a encore un fait
That to have a party, got to have a rap
Qu'il faut avoir un rap pour faire une fête
So when the party's over, you're making it home
Alors quand la fête est finie, tu rentres chez toi
And trying to sleep before the break of dawn
Et tu essaies de dormir avant l'aube
And while ya sleeping ya start to dream
Et pendant que tu dors, tu commences à rêver
And thinking how ya danced on the disco scene
Et tu penses à comment tu as dansé sur la scène disco
Our name appears in your mind
Notre nom apparaît dans ton esprit
Yeah, a name you know that was right on time
Oui, un nom que tu sais qui était à l'heure
It was Phase 2 just a doing a do
C'était Phase 2 juste en faisant un do
Rocking ya down 'cause ya know we could
Te secouant parce que tu sais qu'on pourrait
To the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
Au rythme de la batte qui te fait freak
Come alive girls get on your feet
Viens vivre les filles, montez sur vos pieds
To the rhythm of the beat, to the beat, the beat
Au rythme de la batte, à la batte, la batte
To the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
Au double battement qui te fait freak
To the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
Au rythme de la batte qui dit que tu continues
On and on until the break of dawn
On and on jusqu'à l'aube
Now I got a man coming on right now
Maintenant j'ai un homme qui arrive tout de suite
He's guaranteed to throw down
Il est garanti pour jeter
He goes by the name of Wonder Mike
Il se fait appeler Wonder Mike
Come on Wonder Mike do what ya like
Allez Wonder Mike fais ce que tu aimes
I said a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
J'ai dit une canette de bière qui est plus douce que le miel
Like a millionaire that has no money
Comme un millionnaire qui n'a pas d'argent
Like a rainy day that is not wet
Comme un jour de pluie qui n'est pas mouillé
Like a gambling fiend that does not bet
Comme un joueur compulsif qui ne parie pas
Like Dracula without his fangs
Comme Dracula sans ses crocs
Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
Comme le boogie au boogie sans le bang de boogie
Like collard greens that don't taste good
Comme des feuilles de chou qui ne sont pas bonnes
Like a tree that's not made out of wood
Comme un arbre qui n'est pas fait de bois
Like going up and not coming down
Comme monter et ne pas descendre
Is just like the beat without the sound no sound
C'est comme le beat sans le son, pas de son
To the beat beat, ya do the freak
Au beat beat, tu fais le freak
Everybody just rock and dance to the beat
Tout le monde danse et danse au rythme
Have you ever went over a friend's house to eat
Es-tu déjà allé manger chez un ami
And the food just ain't no good?
Et la nourriture n'est pas bonne ?
I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas all mushed
Je veux dire que les macaronis sont mous, les pois sont tous écrasés
And the chicken tastes like wood
Et le poulet a le goût du bois
So you try to play it off like you think you can
Alors tu essaies de faire comme si tu pensais que tu peux
By saying that you're full
En disant que tu es rassasié
And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
Et puis ton ami dit : "Maman, il est juste poli
He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull"
Il n'a pas fini, uh-uh, c'est du taureau"
So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
Alors ton cœur commence à battre et tu penses à un mensonge
And you say that you already ate
Et tu dis que tu as déjà mangé
And your friend says "Man, there's plenty of food"
Et ton ami dit "Mec, il y a plein de nourriture"
So he piles some more on your plate
Alors il met encore plus dans ton assiette
While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin'
Pendant que la nourriture puante fume, ton esprit commence à rêver
Of the moment that it's time to leave
Du moment où il sera temps de partir
And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin'
Et puis tu regardes ton assiette et ton poulet pourrit lentement
Into something that looks like cheese
En quelque chose qui ressemble à du fromage
Oh, so you say, "That's it, I gotta leave this place
Oh, alors tu dis, "C'est bon, je dois quitter cet endroit
I don't care what these people think
Je me fiche de ce que ces gens pensent
I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
Je suis juste assis ici à me rendre malade
With this ugly food that stinks"
Avec cette nourriture laide qui pue"
So you bust out the door while it's still closed
Alors tu sors de la porte alors qu'elle est encore fermée
Still sick from the food you ate
Toujours malade de la nourriture que tu as mangée
And then you run to the store for quick relief
Et puis tu cours au magasin pour un soulagement rapide
From a bottle of Kaopectate
D'une bouteille de Kaopectate
And then you call your friend two weeks later
Et puis tu appelles ton ami deux semaines plus tard
To see how he has been
Pour voir comment il va
And he says, "I understand about the food
Et il dit, "Je comprends pour la nourriture
Baby Bubba, but we're still friends"
Baby Bubba, mais nous sommes toujours amis"
With a hip hop, the hippie, to the hippie
Avec un hip hop, le hippie, au hippie
The hip hip hop and you don't stop the rockin'
Le hip hip hop et tu n'arrêtes pas le rockin'
To the bang-bang, boogie, say up jump the boogie
Au bang-bang, boogie, dis up jump le boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Au rythme du boogie, le beat
I say Hank can ya rock?
Je dis Hank peux-tu rocker ?
Can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop?
Peux-tu rocker au rythme qui ne s'arrête jamais ?
Can ya hip me to the shoobie doo?
Peux-tu me hip au shoobie doo ?
I said come on, make, make the people move
J'ai dit allez, fais bouger les gens
I go to the halls and then ring the bell
Je vais dans les couloirs et puis je sonne la cloche
Because I am the man with the clientele
Parce que je suis l'homme avec la clientèle
And if ya ask me why I rock so well
Et si tu me demandes pourquoi je rocke si bien
I'm Big Bank, I got clientele
Je suis Big Bank, j'ai de la clientèle
And from the time I was only six years old
Et depuis l'âge de six ans
I never forgot what I was told
Je n'ai jamais oublié ce qu'on m'a dit
It was the best advice that I ever had
C'était le meilleur conseil que j'ai jamais eu
It came from my wise dear old dad
Il venait de mon sage cher vieux père
He said, "Sit down punk, I wanna talk to you
Il a dit, "Assieds-toi punk, je veux te parler
And don't say a word until I'm through
Et ne dis pas un mot jusqu'à ce que j'aie fini
Now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
Il y a un temps pour rire un temps pour pleurer
A time to live and a time to die
Un temps pour vivre et un temps pour mourir
A time to break and a time to chill
Un temps pour se briser et un temps pour se détendre
To act civilized or act real ill
Pour agir de manière civilisée ou agir de manière très malade
But whatever ya do in your lifetime
Mais quoi que tu fasses dans ta vie
Ya never let a MC steal your rhyme"
Tu ne laisses jamais un MC voler ton rime"
So from '66 'til this very day
Donc de '66 à ce jour
I'll always remember what he had to say
Je me souviendrai toujours de ce qu'il avait à dire
So when the sucker MCs try to chump my style
Alors quand les MCs essaient de chump mon style
I let them know that I'm versatile
Je les laisse savoir que je suis polyvalent
I got style finesse and a little black book
J'ai du style finesse et un petit carnet noir
That's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look
Qui est rempli de rimes et je sais que tu veux regarder
But the thing that separates you from me
Mais la chose qui te sépare de moi
And that is called originality
Et ça s'appelle l'originalité
Because my rhymes are on from what you've heard
Parce que mes rimes sont sur ce que tu as entendu
I didn't even bite and not a goddamn word
Je n'ai même pas mordu et pas un mot
And I say a little more later on tonight
Et je dis un peu plus tard dans la nuit
So the sucker MCs can bite all night
Alors les MCs peuvent mordre toute la nuit
A-tick-a-tock y'all, a-beat-beat y'all
A-tick-a-tock y'all, a-beat-beat y'all
A-let-s rock y'all ya don't stop

Eh bien comme Johnny Carson sur le Late Show
A-like Frankie Crocker in stereo
A-comme Frankie Crocker en stéréo
Well, like the Bar-Kays singing "Holy Ghost"
Eh bien, comme les Bar-Kays chantant "Holy Ghost"
The sounds to throw down, they're played the most
Les sons à jeter, ils sont joués le plus
Just like my man Captain Sky
Juste comme mon homme Captain Sky
Whose name he earned with his super sperm
Dont le nom qu'il a gagné avec son super sperme
We rock and we don't stop
Nous rockons et nous n'arrêtons pas
Get off y'all, I'm here to give you whatcha got
Dégagez y'all, je suis ici pour vous donner ce que vous avez
To the beat that makes you freak
Au rythme qui te fait freak
And come alive, girl, get on your feet
Et viens à la vie, fille, lève-toi
A-like a Perry Mason without a case
A-comme un Perry Mason sans affaire
Like Farrah Fawcett without her face
Comme Farrah Fawcett sans son visage
Like the Bar-Kays on the mic
Comme les Bar-Kays au micro
Like getting right down for you tonight

Comme bouger ton corps alors tu ne sais pas comment
Right to the rhythm and throw down
Droit au rythme et jette-toi
Like coming alive to the Master Gee
Comme venir à la vie au Master Gee
The brother who rocks so viciously
Le frère qui rocke si vicieusement
I said the age of one my life begun
J'ai dit à l'âge d'un an ma vie a commencé
At the age of two I was doing the do
A l'âge de deux ans je faisais le do
At the age of three it was you and me
A l'âge de trois ans c'était toi et moi
Rocking to the sounds of the Master Gee
