Banned In The Usa

2 Live Crew Banned In The Usa Lyrics
1.Banned In The U.s.a.

Government of the people
For the people
By the people

Earlier today in broward county,
Appalling courtjudges upheld the previousruling
To ban the sale of miami rap group the 2 live crew's
double-platinum album,
'nasty as they wanna be,' in broward county.

'we think it's the banning of free speech.
First amendment protects material, resultably.'

Luke (being interviewed):
'we don't talk about, uh, harrassing and sexually brutalizing
women in my music, man!'
'we don't do that in my music, man! i'm tired of you saying
that!'

We've got white-collar people trying to grab our style
Saying we're too nasty and we're 2 live
Corrupted politicians playing games
Bringing us down to boost their fame
They must be joking thinking we will fall
But they're like flies movin' the wall
We stand tall from beginning to end
With the help from fans and all our friends
Freedom of speech will never die
For us to help, our ancestors died
Don't keep thinking that we will quit
We'll always stand and never sit
We're 2 live, 2 black, 2 strong
Doing the right thing, and not the wrong
So listen up, y'all, to what we say
We won't be banned in the u.s.a.!

Chorus: (3x)
Banned in the usa, i was

'luke's concerts are for adults'

'if it's an adult show you have to be 18'
'our record is a year old, but with all the publicity,
There's a lot of people ... curiosity is around!'
'we're selling records to a totally different audience.'
'i take a precaution that nobody else has not stickered my
album, i made
Two versions, two versions two versions..'

The first amendment gave us freedom of speech
So what you sayin'? it didn't include me?
I like to party and have a good time
There's nothin' but pleasure written in our rhyme
I know you don't think we'll ever quit
We've got some people on our side who won't take your lip
We're gonna do all the things we wanna do
You can't stand to see a brother get as rich as you
This is the 90s and we're conin' on strong
Sayin' things and doin' things that you're sayin's wrong
Wisen up, 'cause on election day,
We'll see who's banned in the u.s.a.!

Chorus: (4x)

The united states of america
Government of the people
The united states of america
For the people
The united states of america
By the people
By the people

'the show in hollywood, that was for 21-and-over people,
They had police out there, cars of the people coming in the
club,
And they still arrested us for performing in front of adults!'

What is this??
Is this not america?
This is not china!
This is not russia!
This is not the place where they brought down the wall, this is
america!
We have the right to say what we want to say,
We have the right to do what we want to do,
And what i do in my house, you might not do in your house!
So what i do in my house is my business!
And the simple fact of it all is that we are bonded by the first
amendment!
We have the freedom of expression!
We have the freedom of choice!
And you, chinese, black, green, purple, jew,
You have the right to listen to whoever you want to, and even
the 2 live crew!
So all you right-wingers, left-wingers, bigots, communists,
There is a place for you in this world!
Because this is the land of the free, the home of the brave!
And 2 live is what we are!

3.Man, Not A Myth

Ah.. just a minute, erm,
This is a little to controversial, and i don't think.. erm,
We are going to be up and here comes that black
Watch yourself, he is kind of smart, you know...

This story began five years ago
Took a funky idea and began to roll
By doing something that was never done
While getting paid, still having fun
Being explicit straight from the streets
Not forgettin' our roots to an up-tempo beat
Taking what they say just for granted
For us to give up, that's what they wanted
To do it all, we'd be taking shorts
'cause at that time we were given no thought
To follow another; we didn't see it
We're the example for others to see
In the beginning all we had was a phone
And trust in each other was how we lived on
Word was bond, we relied on true
Faith in each other backed up by luke

Chorus:
We are
Ghetto style
Perched in the south
The king of the ghetto
The man, not a myth

The journey was long, but we fought the struggle
We paid off in the end by the bundles
In the beginning, some were against us
But we proved them wrong, and made them envious
So we kept on writing, the public kept on buying
What we were making, they took a-likin'
We found the market, hit the target
We started the fire, but it's you who sparked it
We stayed independent, and we didn't sell out
We started off with no help from the white house
The plot was perfect, though we needed a gimmick
So we thought up this dance called throw the dizznick
In no time at all, things started growin'
Charts were showin' that sales were soarin'
Then all the talkin', all the squawkin',
They tried to take the name, but keep skyy-walkin'

Chorus

A black thing, from beginning to end
Brothers in the business and loyal friends
Steppin' on stages, movin' as one
For the money and for the fun
No matter how it goes, how bad it seems,
When once seem down, we all come clean

In unity, we all stand strong
We all step together,
No man walks alone
No matter what, they can't stop us
They ain't doin' us just 'cause, when it's just us
Any circumstance we must overcome
Let's keep the dream alive, and all get some
And never mind those people with the negative vibes
And never mind the people with the evil eyes
'cause they all flippin' somewhere out on a trip
'cause they don't understand the man and the myth

Chorus

7.Strip Club

As you know, we are now in the strip club, in ... magic city.
(beeper goes off)
Ohh - somebody's beeper goin' - yo, oh hey hey hey, hold on.
Yeah, that's the one by me, yo. yeah.
((the beat starts)

They just don't know, i'm in the strip club tonight.
I ain't seen allo' y'all comin' in the strip club,
Lookin' at all this pussy, me and the boys,
Me and 2 live crew, brother marquis, mr.mixx, uhh, fresh - fresh
kid ice.
You know we at magic city lounge, ladies and gentlemen;
If y'all don't know where it's located, it's in atlanta.

The strip club is the place to hang
Just watchin' all the bitches just throwin' that thang
In a smoke-filled room, filled with noise
On a special night just for the boys
I'll be sittin' at a table, just sippin' on a drink,
While the bitch is on stage, showin' the pink
Oh, what a sight to see!
It looked like the pussy just winked at me
They'll do anything for a tip
Like table-top dance, or even grab your dick
With my money in hand, lookin' for fun
Look out, man, 'cause here she comes!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, y'all wanna get them four girls over there?
Them four fine mu'fuckers, the one over there makin' her pussy
jump and shit?
Two pussies in one? aaight. y'all - y'all repeat after me ...
Bring that pussy over here, heeeere!
Bring that pussy over here, heeeere!

Chillin' late night, i was drunk as fuck
A nigga bored as hell, so i hit the club
Gave a bitch five for a table-top dance
She took off her g-string and shook her ass
Baby, all that? you got to work harder!
Do some backflips to make me harder!
So i called the waitress, gimme a drink!
And by that time, a nigga start' to think
If that bitch in here swallows bottle tops,
I know she could make me hard as a rock
So shake ya booty, girl, smack the devil and raise the flag
And let marquis bless and watch that ass!

Damn, mixx, get yo' face out that pussy!
Hey, marquis, what you doin', man?
You not supposed to be doin' that!
Know you got pussy like that there!
Holdon, hold on, man, hold on, we got -
Y'all really with us now, okay, let's say it!

Bring that pussy over here, heeeere!
Fellas say it!
Ohh shiit!!

She danced on the table, i poured with sweat
Put my hand in my pocket, pulled out a bet
She laid on the table, then opened her thighs
No hairs on the pussy, which made my dick rise
She went crazy, and i got loose
Gave her a 20 and the pussy juiced
It's the boys' night out, and we're lookin' for fu
Nlook out, man, 'cause here she comes!

Hold on, hold on, hold on, chris, you gave her a 20?
You buyin' pussy, man.that's against the law.
You know we got locked up one time already.
Hey,hey, hey, don't buy no pussy.
Okay, fellas, y'all ready to get some new hoes?
Let's go! everybody say
Bring that pussy over here, heeeere!
Leeme hear ya say bring that pussy over here, heeeere!
Now that we done got all the pussy, now y'all know,
We gotta take some of these hoes home,
'cause uh, this hotel gets a little lonely, and we needsto fuck!

9.Do The Bart

Well, it seems they're in the news again.
The 2 live crew have started a dance craze
That has basically taken the nation by storm!
Here's a report.

There's a brand new dance and it's comin' to your town
It's done by the people who can really throw down
You don't need to be a queen or a jack of spades
It's done by the brothers with the hi-top fades
It doesn't matter if you're shy or wild
It's done by all, man or child
Keep shakin' your head, like a goose
And work your body 'till it gets loose
Ladies, bend your back and also your knees
Shake your titties and let me squeeze
Then make a face like you wanna fart
Keep workin' them arms while doin' the bart!

Jitterbugs keep pumpin'!
Why you frontin'?
On the bart, i'll keep the house jumpin'
Everybody follow me, do that dance, the b-a-r-t
Just step to the right and left
Do the bart 'till you're out of breath

It's brand new, the dance to do
The move for the 90's and it's comin' through
Girls, shake your titties and fall to your knees
Show that ass so i can squeeze
Then make the face like you wanna fart
Work them arms while doin' the bart!

It's the bart, y'all, the brand new dance
Fellas, grab your dick; girls, shake that ass
To do this dance you must wear nike's
Girl, you need bikinis, and no sexy nighties
To do this dance, you can't act cute
Fellas, get upon that ass like you're knockin' the boots
In! out! up and down!
When you're doin' the bart, you're really gettin' down!
When you're doin' the bart, you're gonna get wet
Right guard can't save you, 'cause you're bound to sweat
Fat girls, we ain't forgot about you
The bart's the dance that you can even do
First you need a tight fade, a couple black medallions,
Some skiddo pants and then start dancin'
Unlike the hammer, unlike the humpty,
When you're doin' the bart, you've gotta get funky!

It's the dance of the 90s, motherfuckers act wild
Your granny can do it, so you should try
It's not just a dance; it's a state of mind
The fellas need to hi-jump the girls' big behinds
Keep shakin' your head, like a goose
And work your body 'till it get loose

Jump up and down, but don't freak or hustle
When you're doin' the bart, you use every muscle
Don't hurt yourself or exert yourself
You can do the bart all by yourself
So why you sittin' there in your seat?
Just get on the floor and bart to the beat!

11.Face Down Ass Up

Face down ass up!
That's the way we like to fuck! (repeated by the rest of the
crew)

I'm lookin' for a bitch to spend the night
Do the crazy thing while i fuck all night
I make her do things like nothing before
And when i'm done, she'll always be sore
From the things i do when i'm fuckin'
And when i'm tired, the bitches are suckin'
A double team with a friend of mine
Luke's in front and i'm behind
Just ridin' you like a pony
While you suck my dick, makin' me horny
Then all of a sudden we'll switch positions
Prop your ass up and freak the pushin'and when
I cum, you'll hear me roar
I'll treat any bitch like a whore
'cause it's the way i like to fuck
It's face down and ass up!

Chorus

Face down, ass up, that's the way i like to fuck
I like the butt, it's my favorite position
I'm tired of the front, so that's why i'm bitchin'
Flip-flop it, baby, bend your ass over
In a full house spread, let me hold ya
Marquis, a raw dick motherfucker
Virgin mouthpieces, the best dick-suckers
Dick-tricks, go round and round
Grip it with your pussy, go up and down
I got her callin' my name out when i'm freakin' out
I bust a nut, and then i'm breakin' out
So when you're naked, down on all fours
You better make sure that you get yours
'cause a nigga like me will love ya and leave ya
I got mine, hoe! see ya!

Chorus

Ok fellas, i got one right here, aaight? check this out:
Lemme hear you say,
'pussy ain't nuttin' but meat on the bone
Suck it or fuck it or leave it alone!'

(they allrepeat)

Say 'pussy ain't nuttin' but meat on the bone
Suck it or fuck it or leave it alone!'

(they all repeat)

Ok ladies, i got one for y'all!
Say 'dick ain't nuttin' but meat on the bone
Suck it or fuck it or leave it alone!'

(the ladies repeat)

All the ladies lemme hear you say
'dick ain't nuttin' but meat on the bone
Suck it or fuck it or leave it alone!'

(the ladies repeat)

14.So Funky

Umph
So funky!
Nasty!
Hey!

I'm nasty as i wanna be
I express myself so vulgarly
Obscene, or whatever you wanna call it
That's why some suckas wanna stall it
Some people worry about the wrong thing
But why worry about what we're sayin'?
'cause we're gonna do what we wanna do,
And if y'all don't like it, well then fuck you too!
People don't know unless you tell them so
But it was cool when we were just in the ghetto
We did ask you to publicize us,
But it was you who created the fuss
And blew the whole thing out of proportion
You should worry about your topics like abortion
So i fiend for the funk like a dope-fiend junky
Fuck you all, and let us get so funky!

Singin' this song, movin' along
Provin' to the suckas that i keep gettin'
Stronger than what ya been hearin'
Kid ice is on the set, so suckas stop sweatin'
I kick it funky to show my courage
When schoolin' others, i kick the knowledge
For those who hate me, i pray you'll miss me
If you find out you had dissed me
I'll treat you like a child and smack ya head
Feed you dick, put you to bed
Look you in the eye and know you're fessin'
Make you take notes of the lesson
The rhythm is something i cannot hide
A feelin' that i feel, deep inside
So talk about me while i make my money
Kid ice is known to be so funky!

Some say i'm crazy and i got problems
An evaluation might help solve 'em
The funky-mack-nasty, filthy-mack-funky
Stankin' (?), the wino junkymentally scarred, always barred
Slightly deranged, a half-way retard
Goin' off insanely, tryin' to retain me
Tried to capture my rapture, but couldn't contain me
I put 'em in shambles, makin' examples
'cause once i get started, i'm hard to handle
You can't keep me back, you can't forget that
I heard the chit-chat; you said that i'm wack
But anyway, that's okay
I try not to hear what the niggas say
So i just fiend for the funk like a dope-fiend junky
Excuse me y'all, and let me get so funky!

20.This Is To Luke From The Posse

Like this! hit it!
So why has it gotta be so damn hot?

I'm the x-minista, from the troop called p.e.
Professor griff in the flesh, sincerely
Kickin' it off on a ghetto track
Bringin' to you some actual facts
From the bottom, known as miami
With the help from a posse called the l.a.d.
Educate is what we do
With permission from the 2 live crew
'cause the crew is 2 live for you people
Who run around, changin' laws, just to say we're equal
File a complaint, turn in your risume
'cause the a.g.s. don't play
I'm the griff, and i speak profound
I'm down with luke and the ghetto bass sound!

Yo, check out the mr. mixx beat that i flow off
While i go off to boast, brag, and show off
And watch your (??) as i get hyper
I cause them all to slip in they pants; they need a diaper
Whoever stereotyped me for each of those nerds,
I'ma get 'em a fork so they can eat those words
It was said we can't freestyle in m-i-a-m-i
We only had the weak rappers, but tell me, am i?
Lejuan's the type to take your whole gang out
You musta got curfew, because they can't hang out
I'm gettin' paid 'cause i'm good; it's no mystery
You see, i'm rollin' with the man that's makin' history
Lejuan love is one of the best around
I'm down with luke and the ghetto bass sound!

In this type of m-u-s-i-c
I know i'm braggin', but i'm the best i see
I seen professionals, but i'm the better master
Who you gonna blast up on your ghetto blaster?
When i start to flow you're guaranteed to hear the raw stuff
They say i'm dope, nice, super good, or rough
If you don't know the game, then i gotta show the lame
That i'm the best out, nobody can flow the same
Am i a threat? nobody can say no
I'm like a volcano, and i'm sure that they know
When i come off, it's guaranteed legit
Can you come like this? naw, that's bullshit
Jt money is the best around
I'm down with luke and the ghetto bass sound!

I got pull like gravity but some got no juice
Deb in the flesh, well i'm fresh like produce
Suckas never bite my stuff when they competin'
It's just too raw for them to think about eatin'
If y'all ain't heard the word, my rap lingers
The drop sounds like it's hot and burnin' my fingers
This rapper's tryin' to front on a real smooth flower
They ass is grass, and i'm the lawn mower
Of course i put 'em out like trash 'cause i'm a lyncher
Attackin' punk rappers like a doberman pincher
They all be like vampires to me, so they oughta
Walk or get burnt, 'cause i'm the holy water
You say you wanna battle, but that'd be your doom
'cause i'll have you on your ass like fruit of the loom
The name's debonaire and i'm one of the best around
I'm down with luke and the ghetto bass sound!

Though i'm from the bottom, i'm placed by the rest out
Brother marquis is one of the best out
There's no comparin' me, i'm far from bein' so-so
I top the suckas droppin' fast and flowin' slow
Puttin' suckas out like i was nyquil
I rock on the mike like no other on the mike
We're your worst nightmare, if not scarier
Their loss in the (??) new to the area
The man you can't handle, 'cause i'm just too rough
They say that i'm good; they should 'cause it's true stuff
So ain't nobody sayin' that i'm not legit
They need to wipe they mouth, 'cause they just talkin' shit
When it comes to droppin' science, i'm the man you can't knock
out
The heavyweight champ that'll take your whole block out
Marquis, one of the best around
Yeah, down with luke and that ghetto bass sound!
