Listen all you motherfuckers! Listen all you motherfuckers! That's the name of the game. That's the name of the game. That's the name of the game. That's the name of the game. Yo! Top of the crown, Rape the queen, The fatal mistake in your cradle, Can't shake the dreams of fire inside of your phonograph, Battered with gas, And give you room to breathe, Through an adequate mask Everybody in front, Let me see ya pumpin' ya fists, If you up in the back room, When you rockin' with this. Come on, Keepin' ya speaker knockin', Jumpin', bangin', bumpin', blazin', Hot Callin' all freaks, Callin' all freaks now. Yo, yo Callin' all freaks, Callin' all freaks now. That's right Callin' all freaks Callin' all freaks Callin' all freaks Get em up in the back row Get em up in the back row I said get em up in the back room! Motherfucker Callin' all Callin' all Callin' all Callin' all Callin' all
