Def Jef - Givin' 'em Rhythm lyrics

[Verse 1] Now mind and body and soul make for A true soul brother that's able to make more Rhymes than the others that claim to be MCs But they all sound the same to me They're lacking and licking words And speaking blurs, slurs and it earths my nerves I've had it (had it) I can't take no more of the madness (madness) I can't wait no more for the dumb sh** yo, you gotta come with some lyric But not that garbage 'cause I don't wanna hear it Rhythm is a trait and an element. relevant To giving your rhymes some way and development But if you don't have it that can pose as a problem 'Cause that's what it takes to get the job done So take notes if I cope the rhymes I wrote And with the flex of my throat I'm givin' 'em rhythm [Chorus] The rhythm, the rhythm, yes The rhythm, the rhythm, yes The rhythm, the rhythm, yes The rhythm [Verse 2] I've got too much soul for one man to hold And much to much rhythm, so I'm givin' it up One time for your mind and I'm livin' it up 'Cause I'm rich in rhyme So listen with an open ear When's the last time you heard a rhyme this dope and clear And understood and that good that it makes you wonder: Would it be wise to try to get next to a giant But you can't if you rhyme small time 'Cause like a record day in the summer I'm at an all-time high And I try to continue going up so grow up And step to me when you think you know enough That you can even wish you can fit in my shoes 'Cause like B. B. King I'm giving rappers the blues But I don't say so I choose to MC And make them see how good a rapper can be Or how smooth one can flow, fast or slow How hype is the show, how high can I go? Yo, the sky's the limit, I don't need a chemic Stick to straight lyrics but then again at the drum beat The funky rhymin' it makes it them comply People know it's mine and they get excited 'Cause they know what's coming They know I'm humming a rhyme to a drum and I'm givin' 'em [Bridge] Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm (Where's the f**ing rhythm?) Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm (Where's the f**ing rhythm?) [Verse 3] I speak with technique that's why I stand out (?) and the rhyme's well planned out I can't come (?) Off the streets, I don't rhyme off-beat But it seem like I'm linked on a chain and I gain And I build 'cause I'm filled with rhymes in my brain And my main concern is steady improvement Crowd movement is easy to do when You got rhythm it comes automatic And if you wanna get it you will meet 'cause I have it And since I know you need it, I won't flaunt it I'm the type of brother that I'll put you up on it So peep this, check it, I couldn't keep this record a secret Nah I wouldn't do that 'cause that ain't how I'm livin' But it's true that rhythm is what I'm givin' With no hoes bored and it's owed to some why Good rappers these days are hard to come by Some try, but they can't cut it 'Cause they don't have what it takes or what makes Rhythm come alive so much strive to do it But you gotta be live to do it, I been through it Rhyme after rhyme, time after time and time again So no more inks in my pen (pen, pen, pen) Huh! But that ain't the end I pull out the fresh hit and get back in the flow Keep adding to the rhymes and watching 'em grow So keep up, if you slow, you blow those who slept I left But Def Jef kept the others in steps with rhythm [Chorus] The rhythm, the rhythm, I be givin' 'em rhythm (yes!) The rhythm, the rhythm, rhythm! (yes!) The rhythm, the rhythm, I be givin' 'em (yes!) The rhythm, the rhythm
