Everybody start to Swing
La-di-da, whoa-oh-oh
That\u2019s the way that the Hoppers roll<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back with a brand new batch for our listeners
We\u2019re Public Enemy Number 1 similar
To my man Chuck D and to John Dillinger<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humble as a trumpet that\u2019s pumping in the streets
I keep hip hop fun I am the drum coming like
Damn son Gimme that Slam Dunk Beat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now it seems that we\u2019re on the roster constantly
We\u2019re the ones that you want to see
With our unique brand of tongue in cheek mobster chic<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a quick rhythm then switch it and kick a lyric
Burst a lip, split a lung with a verse to twist a tongue
Spit n stun, I\u2019m the one, I have gone beyond the limit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some say two is company but I\u2019d argue that it\u2019s three
Just as Benny Goodman had Louis Prima and Jess Stacey
I\u2019m delighted with my company the Swingpin and the P. Y. E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everybody start to Swing
La-di-da, whoa-oh-oh
That\u2019s the way that the Hoppers roll<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Old school fans of jazz just can\u2019t stand us
That\u2019s sad but, I don\u2019t really give a damn coz
Benny might have been a Goodman but I\u2019m a bad one<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re so sick you\u2019ll be trying not to chuck ya lunch
Ducking weak spitters, we hit like a knuckle getting
Stuck into the ruck n coming up with the sucker punch<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When me and my crew come through swinging like Babe Ruth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taken the bait so we\u2019re taking your HQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re sure to be, at the bar sorta like a law degree<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re purveyors of the classiest debauchery<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me and my amigos, watch as we go down in history
Yes, 3\u2019s the magic number, like the shuffle of a triplet groove
So when you hear that swingin\u2019 pulse, you better move, move, move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
