I Am Down Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Salt N Pepa

Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control 

The party is over at twelve o'clock 

So whatever has to be done, has to be done right about now 

And I say, Spinderella, are you with me? 

Salt and Pepa, are you with me? 

I am down 

To take it or to break it on the mic all night 

'Cuz I'm Salt everybody, yeah, Salt 

I'm the Pepa everybody, the Pepa 

Come see the three 

Young ladies in the fellas' fantasies 

'Cuz we will be trend setters to all MC's 

Yeah, that's right, Money, this one's for you 

Special dedication to the NYC crew 

We didn't change much as you can see 

And the beats are still hyped up by Hurby 

In the house, crowds are packin' 

They're all glad to see us back in step 

Now flip if you oppose it, don't sweat it 

I'm talkin' to those that's with it 

This beat is strong not feable 

Worse than Bad Lone Joe, it's evil 

Deeper still when the jam is filled up 

You can feel the tension build up 

Waiting for show time 

So we can just throw rhymes 

Back, forth and around to show 

I'm down 

To take it or to break it on the mic all night 

'Cuz I'm Salt everybody, yeah, Salt 

That's Salt everybody, yeah, Salt 

I'm the source, of course 

Like salad fresh rhymes I'm a toss 

Of me and we and on the M I C 

I'm the queen 

Of this I am but I'm not just sayin' it 

I'm takin' my time and layin' it down on tracks 

'Cuz my beat smacks, sticks to your ears like wax 

These rhymes are mine not rented 

When I say I'm down, I meant it 

According to a scientific breakthrough 

My rhymes are designed to make you 

React with passion to coming attractions 

You paid to bathe in non stop action 

Temperature rise, blood starts to boil 

I keep you fresh like aluminum foil 

So you won't spoil, melt or harden, see 

Tell 'em, Salt, tell 'em excuse me 

Hey, I just wanted to say 

I am down 

To take it or to break it on the mic all night 

I'm the Pepa everybody, the Pepa 

She's the Pepa everybody, the Pepa 

Party people if you can throw your hand 

In the air and wave it like a fan 

And I rock till you drop 

'Cuz Pepa everybody is hot 

Now here's my credential, here's my background 

To prove I'm the one to make you get down to this 

Not a wish but a fact I'm stating 

The heat is on, there'll be no shading 

I know I'm down not out 

And if you are too, then shout 

Stop, okay, now go and listen to the pros 

'Cuz we know how to be down and show 

The best around what this comes down to 

I'm sure that you are bound to 

Share my thoughts on how to be down also 

Not a clown around town 

So I crack a little smile 

And my gold fronts glow 

Keep my coat open 

So my dope rope shows 

I'm down 

To take it or to break it on the mic all night 

Check it out everybody, check it out 

Check it out everybody, check it out 

Salt and Pepa everybody's in the house 

Salt and Pepa everybody's in the house 

Check it out everybody, check it out 

Salt and Pepa everybody's in the house
