Coming out the alleyways of Illtown 
Producer extraordinaire Kaygee 
Followed by the backbone VinRock 
And the last to fall onto this planet: Me 

Falling through the earth with a burst first for ya 
Clapping ya hands now we must say errah! 
For sure but I am still thirsty oh mercy! 
It's worse see come firs see oh curse me! It's Jersey! 
Slappin' through the skins now a trends backin' in 
Broader than Broad Street backed by Mac 10's 
No lights skip the cameras we haul action in. 
Its Naughty plannin' an orgy, already back again. 
Kay's trackin' this so clicks clap to this as we rap to this 
Hoochies pop their coochies and slap their hips 
Even when in Texas with no gear troopin' 
That's when I find the baddest broads in Houston boostin' 
Breakdown feel the party 
Put your hands together everybody 
All the ladies in the house I call the honies first 
Cause it's pure and ya sure, sure ta get your money's worth 
So just... 

[CHORUS] 
Clap Your Hands This Evening, Come On why'all Say It's Alright [4X] 
Clap Yo Hands 
To all my people on the left, "Clap To This" 
To all my people on the right, "Clap To This" 
To all my people on the top, "Clap To This" 
And in the front don't stop, "Clap To This" 

And to those other mc's: Naughty By Nature fall? Nigga please! 
We just took the time to form three companies 
Now the whole industry 
Awaits the new recital 
I'll take your favorite idol I'll crumple up their title 
In their face cause I'm fed up with that same ol' crap 
Lack of developing your crew that's why your stage show's wack! 

So let the sleeping and assuming and the B.S. stop 
Because, Naughty is to live and die for Hip Hop and I'm VinRock. 
I'm holdin' down the fort around my block 
I reign in this game jackin'other people's props 
Many crews only stress me 
Petty fools try to test me 
Very few impress me, bless me 
I sneeze upon the wack 
No one but us could do it like that to me the rest's considered scrap 
Fact: Naughty niggas will never be defeated 
Come and try word God, word to life, I put that on the double I. 

[CHORUS ]
Clap Your Hands This Evening. Come On why'all Say It's Alright [2X] 
Clap Yo Hands 

According to the calculations from the slums it's hittin'. 
Hey! Kay makes tracks all funky like raw chittlins 
Styles are splitin' think I'm kiddin'? well nigga listen 
Clap long and steady til your palm's sore & sweaty 
Started cutting more than petty confetty 
Right after I said bye bye to Ali Ba Ba the punany papa's machete 
hope ya ready, but if you're not, guard ya knot, 
Grill, nose opposed to blows that's all the same spot 
Still chill I rock real and raw like a brawl's a small fight 
Shorty taking tall mics so practice saying alright 
ah-ight? - the party is tight 
Pass the ball all in the back head towards the front cause the wall 
won't fall 
I might make moves and motions 
Start a crammed commotion 
Make kitties and titties in the city glow like lotion 
Remember freestyles where freebies 
systems still sound like CB's, leat tracks leave them wheaties 
I'm greedy, can't see me 
Wit bifoc's I fry then fly folks with high hopes 
Watch my smoke now why choke 
Sly stroke get by nope now negro 
You were, dead-ass wrong 
Head too strong 
Now here's your zero 
We can get deep like way down 
Hi lobsters, seaweed, sand, sunk ships and missing mobsters 
Hip-hoppers know hard, guess who's back again 
That Naughty click clan to make you clap your hands! 

[CHORUS] 
Clap Your Hands This Evening, Come On why'all Say It's Alright [4X] 
Clap Yo Hands 
To all my people on the left, "Clap To This" 
To all my people on the right, "Clap To This" 
To all my people on the top, "Clap To This" 
And in the front don't stop, "Clap To This"
