Throughout Your Years Lyrics - Kurtis Blow - Kurtis Blow

Throughout your years, 

your ups and downs, 

your highs and your lows, 

I'm the man with the mic who rocks the house 

The man called Kurtis Blow. 

So get out your seat and grab a girl 

'casue I'm about ready to rock the world 

And listen to my story because it got to be told. 

Like an Oscar winning actor when he is playing a role. 

When I wasn't the best, there was something in my head. 

To be a rapper was my dream. 

Like in the morning with the bacon, and the eggs, and the coffee, and the cream 

So I made up my mind that I would always try to be the best that I can be. 

Now here I am, rapping at the jam 

with the all the fly guys and the young ladies 

Just take your time, you don't have to hurry 

Hang tough, you don't have to worry. 

In society, the strong survive 

So rap a single or get a nine to five 

With a little hard work and dedication we'll pull together and rock the nation 

So if you do the do and think you are great, come on everybody, participate. 

Say "ho" 

You gotta to say "ho" if you are ready to go. 

Say "ow" 

You gotta to say "ow" if you are ready right now. 

Say pride 

'cause pride is what we got inside 

To the top! 

We are going to the top, we ain't going to stop! 

Get down! 

When it started out, the way wasn't clear, 

There was much confusion and a lot of fear. 

Walking in the shadow, searching for the light 

Be the reason i could be that to make me right. 

'Cause it ain't all champaign and cavier 

riding 'round the town in the finest car 

Living in the star life of luxury 

and being seen 'round the world at the place to be 

Let down, no jobs ... checks hang up... back sets ... 

A thousand things can hold you back and try to run you off the track 

So you got to believe you can be the best 

You got to work real hard to achieve success 

So listen close, 'cause I insist 

I got some advice, it goes just like this: 

Take your time, you don't have to hurry. 

Hang tough, you don't have to worry. 

In society, the strong survive, 

So rap a single or get a nine to five. 

With a little hard work and dedication we'll pull together and rock the nation 

So if you do the do and think you are great, come on everybody and participate. 

Say "Ho"! 

you gotta to say "ho" if you're ready to go. 

Say "ow"! 

You gotta to say "ow" if you're ready right now. 

Say "pride"! 

'cause pride is what we got inside. 

Say top! 

We're goin' to the top, we ain't gonna stop 

Get down! 

There is a man up there who's calling the shots 

He says what is going to happen and what's not. 

There is only one way to stake a claim 

You got to be a man. 

You gotta to play the game. 

Some people you may be around have negative vibes and try to get you down 

But you mighty sound and you're really strong 

You got to ... riding along 

Winter, summer, fall, spring, 

Give it your all and everything. 

Step by step, day by day, 

Watch out for obstacles in your way. 

Don't be no other, be yourself. 

you can do that better than anyone else. 

Now, I can't tell you what to do, but the things I say still come true. 

Take your time, you don't have to hurry. 

Hang tough, you don't have to worry. 

In society, the strong survive, 

So rap a single or get a nine to five. 

With a little hard work and dedication we'll pull together and rock the nation 

So if you do the do and think you are great, come on everybody, participate! 

Say nahnahnahnah 

Say nahnahnahnah 

nahnahnahnah 

nahnahnahnah 

nahnah 

nahnah 

nahnahnahnah OW!
