Monkey Bars Lyrics

{This record is particularly good for the youngsters
Now you get right to the procedure}

Now what do you like the most about this?
Conflict, consequence, constant evidence
A classic content communicated conference
Whether five or six, whether a number misprint

Or if it seems that you heard it before
If you thought that you would never hear it no more
You should never doubt when we runnin' word o' mouth
Be concerned about your health

Let's go wait, wait yaself

Now you know us but it's not the cold crush
Four MC's so we ain't the furious
Not the force MC's or the three from treacherous
It's a blast from the past from the moment we bust

From whatever we touch, we hold platinum plus
But if our shit go rust, still in god we trust
'Cause it's the second coming, display a rhyme so stunning
We keep it runnin, and give a shoutout to London

And keep it all, and still perform till the early morn'
Sunset till dawn
I got a word abundance, hold pens by the hundreds
Top speed, guaranteed, we still runnin'

I be boombastic with my terror tactics
Why you actin' plastic treatin all ya fans like fanatics
We be the upper pair comin' air-tight like tupperware
Fuck a fear, press ya luck and beware the brigadier

Yea, DJ's be spinnin' the records that make up the music
So people can focus whenever the mic has been passed to me

{The more drums we have in our kit, the more jobs we can handle
We gonna take a break here}

Let's go, wait, wait yaself

Je m'appelle A K I L, known to exhale when I inhale
And you can tell when in the crew I do my duty O
And swung to the studio J 5 let the beat bounce
That's what counts without a doubt
So sup grab the mic and pull the magic out ya mouth
We be the rhythm kings, plus rhyme channelings

{I could snare anything, go ahead}

Snare, snare, snare, snare, snare, snare, snare
Snare, snare, snare, snare, snare, snare, snare
Snare, snare, snare, snare, snare, snare, snare

Light MC can't match this phatness so we practice
Burnin' through walls of wackness
Yo, two MCs add a little more spice
So we concentrate on mic's to keepin' parties tight

Three MC's underground and worldwide
Surgeon general notify that the five is certified
Four MC's at your door once more
When it rains, it pours from the heavens to the earth floor

Five elements, vocal instruments
Super extra strength hip hop activist
Five for your mind no time and intertwine
Roll with the rhymes sunset to sunrise

Five you should know, when we flow
You get what you lookin' for
Five terrorize ya enterprise
'Cuz we don't shoot until we see the whites of ya eyes

Non-stop, real rhyme rockin
Disc jockeys out record shoppin'
Writers doin graphs so bring ya pop lockin'
We incorporate the whole of hip hoppin', non-stop

We keep it up to par
From the metal monkey bars to concrete school yards
It's like written Arabic, comin' from right to left
It's hot to def so take a breath and

Wait, wait yourself

Jurassic 5 is a six-piece hip-hop crew that was formed in 1993 at the Los Angeles, California venue Good Life. Rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist came together from two separate crews, the Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Cut Chemist left the band in 2006 to pursue a solo career, however he returned in 2013 when the group "reformed" in order to perform at various concerts.

The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.

The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band's full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.

The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of New York's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap's social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song Concrete Schoolyard ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise UK Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web's Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).

In 1999, Jurassic 5 signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the Jurassic 5 EP. This was followed by their second album (their first on a major label), Quality Control.

In 2002, they released their third album, Power In Numbers, which was followed by touring with the newly-revived Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 2003.

Their latest album, Feedback, was released on July 25, 2006. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
