The 2 Live Crew

2 Live Crew (in full: The 2 Live Crew) is an American hip hop group from Miami, Florida, which had its greatest commercial success from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The group's most well-known line up was composed of Luke, Fresh Kid Ice, Mr. Mixx, and Brother Marquis. They were considerably controversial in the U.S. due to the sexually explicit content in their songs, particularly on their 1989 album As Nasty as They Wanna Be. more »

Absolutely no one under 17 will be admitted
Without parent or certified adult guardian
They'll fry your brain, they're sick as hell
Jolly good fun, you'll die dancin'
Dark, gliding shapes that violate every law of nature
Buy 'em or die a thousand deaths

2 Live Crew, 2 Live Crew
Boyz with da bass, boyz with da bass
Boyz with da bass, boyz with da bass
2 Live Crew, 2 Live Crew
Boyz with da bass, you better know it

That's right y'all, you heard it 'cause we said it
And if you can't read in the magazines
You read about who? You know the Crew
Fresh outta Pac and the first to put the bass on the 24-track

Some said it wouldn't work, some said it wouldn't last
In New York, they say that the tempo's too fast
You disregarded, but the albums got charted
We put 'em in the stores and millions have bought it

An underground sound, not liked by radio
You hear it in the cars and at the disco
On the airwaves, we misbehave
We're too bold, too rugged in our nasty ways

From dirty minds come dirty rhymes
We're not gonna beg for your time
You don't play it? That's cool with me
But somehow, our bass still reaches the street

As long as we got it, you can get it
People want the bass, so some try to steal it
From behind our back and not in our face
'Cause 2 Live is the Crew, the boyz with da bass

2 Live Crew, 2 Live Crew
Boyz with da bass, boyz with da bass
Boyz with da bass, boyz with da bass
2 Live Crew, 2 Live Crew
Boyz with da bass, you better know it

Holdin' our own in the South-East region
When you come to the bottom, pledge to our allegiance
I'm glad to say that we're the proud owners
The rock-and-rollers, you can't take us over

The name of the game is supply and demand
We supply the bass while you demand our jams
We could not wait to bring our bass to you
Because in this game, you lag, you lose

See, we serve our bass raw, straight up and not false
This is the kind you dance to, and not on 8-Ball
Plenty of bass, the beat, and the rhyme
That my homeboy Mr. Mixx carefully designed

Hittin' hard as hell and always droppin'
Bass is the reason why you are rockin'
When you hear our songs and you see our face
Put two and two together; we're the boyz with da bass

Boyz with da bass, it's the best in this city

Boyz with da bass, boyz with da bass
Boyz with da bass, boyz with da bass
You better know it, it's the best in the city
