    Is it Grandmaster Flash (feat. The Furious Five) "Pump Me Up"??

    Come on, I said come on, I said come on

    [Melle Mel]
    Rappers might be willing but they ain't able
    Cause I was their king straight from my cradle
    I screamed and hollered and shook my rattle
    And dreamt of defeating them all in battle

    There was no food in my silver spoon
    So I grew up hard and I grew up soon
    I'm a righteous king but I'm hungry too
    And I eat up chumps that rap like you

    Then I met this shark and his name was Jaws
    He was biting my rhymes like y'all bite yours
    I starting writing my rhymes the shark grew and grew
    But I was writing more rhymes than the shark could chew

    The shark got sick and then he exploded
    Cause he didn't realize that my rhymes was loaded
    They flew in the air and into the sea
    And the whole universe knew that the king was me

    Come on, I said come on, I said come on

    [Melle Mel]
    I'm not a laser beam or a diamond mine
    Or a platinum watch or some vintage wine
    Not a pocket full of pearls I'm a oil well
    Like black gold baby I'm Melle Mel

    And to all the fly girls I come off hard
    The slightest wink or nod makes me your god
    All my problems are small so my pockets are large
    When I walk in the door Oh baby I'm in charge

    Treat ladies like jewels and diamond rings
    On my fingers on my arms on everything
    On the streets oh my Jesus! I can't be beat
    So don't ask where's the beef baby here is the meat

    I'm going to give you some soap a towel and a cup
    Cause the bum emcees are all washed up
    Put your women on the line with the rest of my crew
    So I can make love to her and annihilate you

    pump, pump ( me up!) me what? (me up!)

    Pump, pump, pump, pump me up!

    [Cowboy]
    I'm like the genie in your lamp
    A face on your stamp
    The hip hop rocker
    The microphone champ

    Got a knock out voice
    Like a rolls royce
    Got to rank as number one
    To be the people's choice

    Cause you can hum a ding then you can hum a dong
    Its just like the friendly game of ping pong
    When you hitting the ball upside the paddle
    It's just like cowboy riding on a saddle

    Up above your head is the flash of light
    Cause I can rock to the beat on any God given night
    Like to rock like to roll like to entertain
    While my car's outside you're waiting for the train

    The train to the bus the bus to whatever
    And I'm the type of MC to rock in any type of weather
    I'm the bow legged brother there'll never be another
    I bought a mansion for my mother

    Come on, I said come on, I said come on

    [Scorpio]
    I got a certain cool that breaks the rules
    That get me paid and a lot of jewels
    And the women I'm calling day and night
    That's proof I'm getting mine like a thief in the night

    Because Scorp is known as the singer
    The quiet storm that lover didn't linger
    I will not change cause its in my blood
    I'm like dynamite and you a rappin dud

    And if the future is here in the making
    Then why I can't be part of the taking
    Cause you know I like cars and fancy women
    That give me good love in the beginning

    Bubble bath and candle lights
    And girls saying Scorp you all right?
    So stop standing there like you from above
    And just relax yourself and get in this tub

    Pump, pump, pump, pump me upFor all you beautiful people out there
    If you having a good time, everybody scream!

    [Melle Mel]
    I'm not a laser beam or a diamond mine

    On the streets oh my Jesus! I can't be beat

    I'm going to give you some soap a towel and a cup
    Cut the bum emcees are all washed up
    Put your women on the line with the rest of my crew
