I'd like you to meet my mic  last name is phone 
This is my house make yourself at home 
Now see those chairs? Please just ignore them 
Believe me  they'll be no need for them 
I got a rhyme  and I'd like to exploit it 
You came in here so you cannot avoid it 
This beat is hard  it's as hard as atomic energy 
Thinkin' as long as we're rhymin' to it 
And it's addictive like smoking 
Word to the parents, see, I'm not jokin' 
You'd be a thief only this life is harmless 
Couldn't kick the habit if you tried your darndest 
So don't fight it, don't fear it 
Just take your hands, applause and cheer it 
I gave you more than you ever expected 
And when I did then you gave me respect 
With your support we're reachin' new heights 
Salt and Pepa's insanely hyped on the mic 

My supporters are massive, my sound is passive 
If I was you, I'd take time to ask if 
Others you've heard really deserve to be ranked as the best 
Great or supurb, to be or not to be, that's a good question 
How good they used to be, well I give less than a damn 
'cause the present day counts if you can't rock a tone 
I suggest you just count 
I said please, but it's not like I'm pleadin' 
So don't get supe, peasant, stop speedin' 
'cause I'm about to rain, and when I rain I don't drizzle 
It's gettin' hot in here, we're gonna sizzle 
See, I understand that you had the dishes 
But if it's too hot, get out of the kitchen 
'cause frauds and fakes are the ones I don't like 
And they are the ones that get me hyped on the mic 

I'm gonna play you for keeps, got a system in my teeth 
Outside on the street people heard all of the beats 
That I rapped or mastered so throw the wax on 
Pepa is that strong, they can hear the last song 
First class status, I'm a blessed event 
God rocked the full-size for my silhoutte 
Yes, solo this woman, rise all before me 
??? jump on it 
Don't try to be 'cause I will protest 
Oh yes, I have an uzi I've been dyin' to test 
Livin' larger than life but to be precise 
I'm Pepa, much deffer when I'm crazy hyped on the mic 

We're gonna break it down to you how it should be broke 
Rhymes written not ? and how it should be wrote 
People jammin' not standin' and what you hope 
A show funky not junky, you say rhymes are dope 
??? he'd be madly hyped 
Spinderella had to tell him, "Boy, you ain't my type" 
Get away from her, I tell you before she gets pissed 
She's got a left with a cut, and it'll go like this 

Started wheelin' doin' wheelies, but you were a big wheel 
Started dealin' like a dealer, but you just couldn't deal 
As you flip like a freak the whole world just flopped 
Couldn't rock like a rocker so you just got rocked 
I'm the defest gettin' deffer and ought to be kept 
Take a breath between rhymes with a bet, tell 'em Pep 
Or let's kick it like a kicker, the rhymes I kick 
Like a sticker gets stuck to your butt I'll stick 
When the hype is gettin' hyper, when the hip-hop's hype 
Salt and Pepa, that's right, you know we're hyped on the mic
