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      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, it's the best in this city      2 Live Crew, 2 Live Crew   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
