Joy And Pain

Frankie Beverly, Rob Base

[Intro: Rob Base]
Come on

[Chorus: Omar Chandler & (Rob Base)]
Joy (Pump, pump, pump it up) and pain
(Come on, come on, here we go)
Like sunshine (What else? What else?) and rain
(Ah yeah, here we go)
Joy (Come on, come on, here we go) and pain
(Pump, pump, pump, pump it up)
Like sunshine (Yeah) and rain
Give it to 'em, Rob Base

[Verse 1: Rob Base]
Well, I'm the new kid, I'm just comin' up
A lot of rappers think that I can't tear it up
Well, I'ma show 'em and ignore 'em
And when they think I ain't lookin', I floor 'em
I mean take 'em out, I keep groovin'
A slick bassline keep the beat movin'
They can't take it, they just fake it
They wonder how the Rob Base make it
I get ill, you know the deal
'Cause this is how the Rob Base feels

[Chorus: Omar Chandler & (Rob Base)]
Joy (Come on, come on, pump it up) and pain
(Pump it up, pump it up now)
Like sunshine (What else? Come on) and rain
(Here we go, here we go)
Joy (Pump it up, pump it up now) and pain
(Keep it goin', keep it goin')
Like sunshine (Yeah) and rain
(Pump it up, pump it up)
Give it to 'em, Rob Base

[Verse 2: Rob Base]
I keep smokin', hot like fire
You had your turn, now retire
Don't talk back, I'm not a new jack
'Cause I'm fresher than you, and you're wack
I keep tryin', I'm not lyin'
Up to number one is where I'm flyin'
I won't slow down 'cause I'm the new kid
With the devastatin' sound that hits
In the house where I used to practice
No one knew the Rob exists, but now
I'm gettin' greedy, don't lead me
The wrong way 'cause is just might, might, might
Bring me down, I'll have to fight to get back up
Move away 'cause I just won't slack up

[Chorus: Omar Chandler & (Rob Base)]
Joy (Pump it up, pump it up) and pain
(Come on, come on, here we go)
Like sunshine (What else? What else?) and rain
(Keep it goin', keep it goin')
Joy (Yeah, yeah) and pain
(Pump it up, pump it up)
Like sunshine (What else?) and rain
Give it to 'em, Rob Base

[Verse 3: Rob Base]
Now, I go to shows to watch other MC's rock
And if they're good, I don't knock
The way they perform 'cause I like to see a good show
After that, go play ceelo, y'know
'Cause I'm a leader, no ,I'm not a follower
And MCs like you I swallow 'em
So don't look and try to judge me
Because you think that I'm another MC, well
I'm the new kid, I just moved around
But that don't mean I can't rip up the town
Me and my boys, we make noise
I hate MC's that think that we're toys
I'm hittin' harder than any other MC
Who try to come up and go against me

[Chorus: Omar Chandler & (Rob Base)]
Joy (Pump it up, pump it up) and pain
(Keep it goin', keep it goin' now)
Like sunshine (What else? What else?) and rain
(Pump it up, pump it up now)
Joy (Keep it goin', keep it goin') and pain
(Yeah, keep it goin' now)
Like sunshine (Pump it up, pump it up) and rain
Let 'em have it, Rob Base, one time

[Verse 4: Rob Base]
Not from the old school or from the new
Applaud or boo, do what you want to
Talk to me then try to put me down
We used to be cool now we don't hang around
Used to be friends but now we're foes
Ask me why, man, no one knows
Maybe jealousy between you and me
Could be the fame, could be the money
I'm goin' for mine and I don't really care
'Cause the spotlight Rob Base don't share
I'm the headliner of this show
And you're just a kid and you need to grow because

[Chorus: Omar Chandler & (Rob Base)]
Joy (Pump it up, pump it up) and pain
(Come on, come on, here we go)
Like sunshine (Keep it goin') and rain
Everybody sing along (Come on)
Joy (Pump it up, pump it up) and pain
(Here we go, here we go, come on)
Like sunshine (What else?) and rain
Give it to 'em, Rob Base
Everybody clap your hands now
Joy (Pump it up, pump it up) and pain
(Yeah, keep it goin' now)
Like sunshine (What else?) and rain
Listen to us sing now
Joy (Pump it up, pump it up) and pain
(Yeah, here we go)
Like sunshine (Pump it up, pump it up) and rain (Yeah)
