Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well get on down like your 'posed to 
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school 
Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well get on down like your 'posed to 
And give a loc a little dap when he walks through 

If there be a dope beat then all y'all see 
Get up out your seat and let me see yo technique 
Freak yo physique and you betta not compete 
Make it hot and sweaty like twenty deep in a jeep 
Never comin' cheap, forty creep 
And I hope you don't mind if I borrow a few things while you go to 
Sleep 
I steal money from the rich 
And give it to the poor, it's 
Coolio loco and ghetto witch doctor super, you are 
Bring it from the back and bring it to the front 
Cause you gotta give the people what they want 
Now hump, do the stomp to the butt 
Big homie shake your gut 
As long as you get your ass up 
It's a party over here 
And let me make it clear 
40 Thevz is the crew 
So you better come anew 
Ain't a damn thing change since the first one 
And if you didn't hear the album go get one (One) 

Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well, get on down like your 'posed to 
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school 
Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well, get on down like your 'posed to 
And give a loc a little dap when he walks through. 

Here come the thief on the old school beat 
And I never knew the meaning of the word "defeat" 
The master of disguise wanna see the people's eyes 
Yet, fools try to deny that the ?man? can fly 
Just cook 'em all up like gumbo 
And block their ass like Mutumbo 
Cause your album dropped off the charts like Dumbo 
We are new and improved to make you put on your boogie shoes 
Like K.C. and the Sunshine Band, or the Wu-Tang Clan 
I go way back like Vegas, Nixon, Noreaga 
It's the tennis shoe players fat box on the quiet station 
Now what if hip hop was like Humpty Dumpty sittin' on the wall 
And what if hip hop had to take a great fall 
And what if rhyme was a crime 
And each and every time 
That you spit a dope line 
You might have to do some time 
Most of these clowns will be tryin' to skip town 
But Coolio will be ready for the showdown 

Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well, get on down like your 'posed to 
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school 
Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well, get on down' like your 'posed to 
And pass a joint to the loc when he roll through 

If the shoe fit, put it on and stick 
And if your ass uncash don't let your mouth write no check 
Fools be in the bars unadvanced with a switch 
Uppercuts and fight kicks with Weird Al Yankovich 
From Tokyo to Sojo, rollin wit the 4-0 
This hip hop that I'm holdin' I'll make it move your hoe 
It's the Vandino, everything but rhyme's broken 
Breakin' a nigga with first position at the open 
You can't understand how I do it 
I'm just true to it 
I let my pen flow across the paper like it was made affluent 
Uh, let it ring, let it rip 
Everybody holler like Marvin Gaye, but don't you let the record skip 
Synchronize the watch, cause the party don't stop 
Till the neighborhood watch call the cops 
It's the wild ass festival, coast line veteran 
Once again droppin' bombs on yo section (On yo section) 

Are you ready to throwndown? 
Yes we are! 
Well, get on down like your 'posed to 
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school 
Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well, get on down like your 'posed to 
And pass the brew to the loc when he roll through 
Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well, get on down like your 'posed to 
And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school 
Are you ready to throwdown? 
Yes we are! 
Well, get on down like your 'posed to 
And give a loc a little dap when he roll through. 
Fool!
