[Intro mysterious music:]
"Absolutely no one under 17 will be admitted without parent or certified adult
guardian."

"They'll fry your brain. They're sick as hell!"
"Jolly good fun."
"You'll die dancin'!"

"Dark, gliding shapes that glide every long inch ... "
"Buy 'em or die a thousand deaths!"


[Chorus:]
Heyy!
2 Live Crew

Boys with the bass!
"You better know it!"


[Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice]
That's right y'all, you heard it 'cause we said it
And if you can't read in the magazines,

You read about who? You know the Crew!
Fresh outta Pac
And the first to put the bass on the 24-track

Some said it wouldn't work, some said it wouldn't last
In New York, they say that the tempo's too fast
You disregarded, but the albums got charted

We put 'em in the stores and millions habe bought it
An underground sound, not liked by radio
You hear it in the cars and at the dicso

On the airwaves, we misbehave
We're too bold, too rugged in our nasty ways
From dirty minds come dirty rhymes

We're not gonna beg for your time
You don't play it? That's cool with me
But somehow, our bass still reaches the street

As long as we got it, you can get it
People want the bass, so some try to steal it
From behind our back, and not in our face

'Cause 2 Live is the Crew, the boys with the bass!

[Chorus]


[Verse 2: Brother Marquis]
Holdin' out own in the South-East region

When you come to the bottom, pledge to our allegiance
I'm glad to say that we're the proud owners,
The rock-and-rollers, you can't us this over

The name of the game is supply and demand
We supply the bass while you demand our jams
We could not wait to bring our bass to you

Because in this game, you lag, you lose
See, we serve our bass raw, straight up and not false
This is the kind you dance to, and not on 8-Ball

Plenty of bass, the beat, and the rhyme
That my homeboy Mr. Mixx carefully designed
Hittin' hard as hell, and always droppin'

Bass is the reason why you are rockin'
When you hear our songs, and you see our face
Put two and two together; we're the boys with the bass!


[Chorus]
("It's the best in this city!")
