1, 2, 3, 4 We don'€™t rock we rap

It'€™s like that

You thought it was gone

But now I'€™m back

Standin on stage in a hell of a rage

Fake rock N rollers put you back in your cave

I don'€™t like rock N roll I never did

Didn'€™t evne like when I was a little kid

You'€™s a longhaired freak

Seven days a week

Making money in leather

I make money in sneaks

I don'€™t like rock N roll cause rock is rambling

Rather hear rap cause rock is handling

Long haired suckaz get out of my face

Cause me and Code Money running the place

We RAP!

We don'€™t rock we rap



1, 2 3, 4 (4x)



You is capastetic

You know you can bet it

I take you rock N rollers man you never get wet it (?)

Code cut the records down to the bone

I'€™m the only MC that rock the microphone

For your information, in this nation

It'€™s all about that rap creation

Another motivation, domination

I'€™ll be I'll as innovation

It'€™s a killer, no it'€™s a thriller

Yo Code how about a miller



We don'€™t rock we rap

We Don't Rock, We Rap

Schoolly D's 'We Don't Rock, We Rap' stands as a foundational anthem of the East Coast hip-hop scene, released during the mid-1980s when the genre was solidifying its identity. The track serves as a direct rebuttal to the prevailing rock music dominance of the era, asserting the distinct power and cultural relevance of rap. As one of the artist's most recognizable early works, it exemplifies the raw energy and lyrical directness that would define his career and influence a generation of rappers. The song's enduring legacy lies in its ability to champion the voice of the street, establishing a blueprint for the aggressive, narrative-driven style that became central to hip-hop's evolution. It remains a pivotal recording that highlights the transition from party rap to a more serious, socially conscious art form.
