Rob Base & D.J. E-Z Rock ~ “Joy & Pain”

Joy & Pain/ Like Sunshine & Rain…

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain
Like sunshine and rain

Well I’m the new kid, I’m just comin’ up
A lot of rappers think that I can’t tear it up
Well I’m ‘a show ‘em and ignore ‘em
And when they think I ain’t lookin’ I floor ‘em
I mean take ‘em out I keep groovin’
A slick bass line keep the beat movin’
They can’t take it they just fake it
They wonder how the Rob Base make it
I get ill, you know the deal
Cuz this is how the Rob Base feels
Chorus

I keep smokin’, hot like fire
You had the turn, now retire
Don’t talk back, I’m not a new jack
Cuz I’m fresher than you, an’ you’re whacked
I keep tryin’, I’m not lyin’
Up to number 1 is where I’m flyin’
I won’t slow down cuz I’m the new kid
With the devastatin’ sound that hits
In the house where I used to practice
No one knew the Rob exists, but now
I’m gettin’ greedy, don’t lead me
The wrong way cuz is just might, might, might
Bring me down, I’ll have to fight to get back up
Move away cuz I just won’t slack up
Chorus

Now, I go to shows to watch other MCs rock
And if they’re good, I don’t knock
The way they perform cuz I like to see a good show
After that, go play C-low, y’know
Cuz I’m a leader, no I’m not a follower
And MCs like you I swallow ‘em
So don’t look and try to judge me
Because you think that I’m another MC, well
I’m the new kind, I just moved around
But that don’t mean I can’t rip up the town
Me an’ my boys, we make noise
I hate MCs that think they’re with toys
I’m hittin’ harder than any other MC
Who try to come up and go against me
Chorus
