It Takes Two

Right about now
You're about to be possesed
By the sounds of M.C. Rob Base, and D.J. E-Z Rock
(Hit it!)

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
(Hit it!)

I wanna rock right now
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone
Because I get stupid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from me, if you're contagious
'Cause I'm a winner, no, not a loser
To be an M.C. is what I choose-a
Ladies love me, girls adore me
I mean even the ones who never saw me, like
The way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why?
Man, I don't know, so let's go, 'cause

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
(Hit it!)

My name is Rob, I gotta real funky concept
Listen up, 'cause I'm gonna keep you in step
I got an idea
That I wanna share
You don't like it?
So what?
I don't care
I'm number one, the uno, I like comp
Bring on the suckers, 'cause all them I'll stomp
Bold and black, but I will protect
All of my followers 'cause all I want is respect
I'm not a boxer, I'll put them in rapture
A slick brother that can easy outfox ya
Cause I'm Rob, the last name Base, yes
And on the mic, I'm known to be the freshest
So let's start, it shouldn't be too hard
I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard
I won't fess, wear a bulletproof vest
Don't smoke buddha, can't stand sess, yes

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
(Hit it!)

The situation that the Base is in
I'm kinda stingy, that's why I don't wanna lend
A funky rhyme to a foe, or a good friend
But listen up, 'cause I want you to comprehend
'Cause I'm the leader, the man, superior
I take care of ya, and then you get wearier
So just sit, my rhymes are not counterfeit
The record sells, which makes this one a hit
It won't hurt to listen to Red Alert
Take off your shirt, make sure it don't hit the dirt
I like the kids, the guys, the girls
I want the ducats, this is Rob Base's world
I'm on a mission, you better just listen
To my rhymes, 'cause I'm all about dissin', 'cause

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
(Hit it!)

I stand alone, don't need anyone
'Cause I'm Rob, just came to have fun
Don't need friends that act like foes
'Cause I'm Rob Base, the one who knows about things
That make you get weary
Don't cheer me, just hear me out
'Cause I got the clout, shout (Ho!)
Before I turn the party out
I won't stutter, project my voice, speak clearly
So you can be my choice, on stage, or on record
Go to the Wiz and select it
Take it off the rack, if it's wack put it back
I like the Whopper, fuck the Big Mac
If you want static, so let's go, so
Throw up your hands, go for what you know
Bro', I got an ego
Yo, talkin' to me?
No, oh
'Cause Rob is in the front, E-Z Rock is on the backup
We're not soft, so you better just slack up
'Cause I'm cool, calm just like a breeze
Rock the mic with the help of E-Z Rock
On the set, the music play
Only cuts the records that I say

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight

All right now
E-Z Rock now, when I count to three I want you to get busy, you ready now?
One, two, three, get loose now
