I can do it Yeah maybe! Now I can do it Aww this that rollin beat man I can roll with this I can roll with this just like ridin over that Bay Bridge Golden Gate, you understand what I mean? Oh look at that skeezer over there man I ain't with it
[Hammer] Now now now the drum gets deeper and the beats get stronger So take a deep breath before you're forced under The line that divides what's yours from mine In effect is what I am cause I served my time Concrete solid beats topped off with rhymes A fly posse put together by the Hammer's mind Now the song is in effect and my soul is fed And these are my words, that's what I said
[Chorus] That's what he said (Yo hype my posse man) Go posse, go posse go; go posse, go posse go Go posse, go posse go; go posse, go posse go
[Hammer] M, MC's line up and they start to boast Who's the best, who's the best, and they all get roasted By the Hammer on the mic, by the Hammer on the floor By the Hammer, MC Hammer, the keeper of the door That leads to the chair where the king of rap sits While MC's battle, in the rap pits They go RHYME, for RHYME, and HOOK, for HOOK Thugs turn rappers and rappers turn CROOKS Now the song is in effect and my soul is fed And these are my words, that's what I said
[Chorus]
Dance! Use the Hammer as a weapon so don't you worry about a thing I don't worry about a thing, I'm goin straight up You understand me? There they go There go that big ol' greasy
[Chorus]
[Hammer] Now now now, I go to the show, I pay my money I realized, something's funny Music's cold kickin and the crowd is hyped But the MC on the stage, is stiff as a pipe His hips do move but his feet don't budge He moves across the stage like he's stuck on a rug He needs the beat and the Hammer and the posse gettin busy The show that we give, will make a sucker dizzy Now the song is in effect and my soul is fed And these are my words, that's what I said
No competition
...
No competition
...
Competition is none, I remain at the top like the sun
And I burn whoever come in the chambers of torture
I caught ya, you shoulda brought ya
Neighborhood to support ya
No one in my path will withstand
Under pressure the wrath of a swift man
You name the day, the grounds to be neutral
Speak your piece, the feeling's mutual
We can go topic from topic whenever I drop it
Try to stop it
In other words, what the brother heard
He tried to catch it, but what occurred
Was too much weight for one brain to take
Try to concentrate maintain then elevate
Program an ounce from pound to pound
The matter of weight can't hold my mind down
Permanent damage, I do away with
No time for fun, cause I don't play with
Competitors, there's only one when I'm done
Competition is none
...
No competition
...
Competition is none, I'm the soul survivor
MC's get live but I get liver
It ain't a Memorex, live in concert
At every network, the R the expert
Whoever goes against causes friction
Introduction music where's the mixing
Ra will never die, tools they never try
To beat or defeat me, because whenever I
Put poetry in motion
From the Nile, then out into the ocean
Three-fourths of water makes seven seas
A third of land three-sixty degrees
I circulate and remain to rotate
Seven days a week at a quake or a slow rate
Be prepared whenever I come
Competition is none
...
It's no competition
...
Creator, the alphabets let's communicate
When I translate the situation's straight
No dictionary's necessary to use
Big words do nothing but confuse and lose
From the first step, a concept was kept
To the end of the rhyme, it get more in-depth
All thoughts I come across, my mind's the source
Made by the R, of course
Seven holes in my face as I'm lookin out my window
Speak with the beat and it seem like the wind blows
Through the speakers, I hear it so pump this
And we can fill up the whole circumfrence
With competition, on an impossible mission
Comin up with nothin, keep fishin
No runner up, just lost or forfeits
They all get butterflies, soon as the dog gets
Unlocked, lines for blocks and blocks
Might be triflin, to call the cops
Bring along paramedics
But that won't help you, not even calisthetics
I'm God, G is the seventh letter made
Rainin on rappers, there's no parade
So if you ain't wise, then don't even come
Competition for this inter mixin is none
...
It's, no competition
...
Competition is none

These battered hands are all you own
This broken heart has turned to stone
Go hang your glory on the wall
There comes a time when castles fall
And all that's left is shifting in the sand
You're out of time, you're out of place
Look at your face
That's the measure of a man
This coat that fits you like a glove
These dirty streets you learned to love
So welcome back my long lost friend
You've been to hell and back again
God alone knows how you crossed that span
Back on the beat, back to the start
Trust in your heart
That's the measure of a man
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
It's the things you understand
Permanent ties from which you once ran
That's the measure of a man
You've come full circle, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win
And rise above your troubles while you can
Now you can love, now you can lose
Now you can choose
That's the measure of a man
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
It's the things you understand
Permanent ties from which you once ran
That's the measure of a man
You've come full circle, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win
And rise above your troubles while you can
Now you can love, now you can lose
Now you can choose
That's the measure of a man
(Got) (got) (got) (got) (got) (got to be)
(Got) (got) (got) (got) (got) (got to be)
(Got) (got) (got) (got) (got) (got to be)
(Got) (got to be funky)
Ey-ey, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Yo, I hope you got the skills of a sumo
Cause battlin me I'm sure you get judoed
By me the Green Hornet, stoppin though you're on it
Verse after verse I won't curse, now I flaunt it
So, here we go, to claim a new throne
Step on stage and then you're in a twilight zone
Where no man has gone before
I like to kick the funky, funky, funky new style
So gimme space, clear the place so I can buckwild
I know you know I know you know they can't get near this
I know you know I know you know how suckers fear this
I know you know I know you know I won't rest
I know you know I know you know that I'm the best
I know you know I know you know who won't fess
I know you know I know you know that I'm blessed
I know you know I know you know that
(I wanna rock right now)
(Got to be funky)
As I think and let the knowledge be born as I step
Suckers try to beat me but they can't
Cause of my reputation, to rock this demonstration
The smoothest illustration, deep concentration
I think and sink into with the wits of a ginzu knife
Do what you like to keep it real hype
Come and get the riff from the gift MC
Smokin like a muthaf*ckin spliff
When I rhyme I start to smoke, make you choke
Unlike a man that's broke
My rhyme is like thunder, make you wonder
You can't get over, go under
When I rhyme my rhyme bursts into flames
And they're tough like the drawers called Haynes
(I wanna rock right now)
(Got to be funky)
Here's the conclusion of the dope rap rage
Use caution when you step on my stage
Cause I'ma rip MC's to shreads
Step to me, lights out, you're dead
I'll knock you out like in a Tyson fight
I roll you up like a blunt, real tight
Then smoke you, or just choke you
You shoulda chilled, cause now I broke you
Be cool when you see me flex
Left, right, left right, who's next?
Is it you, you, you, or your whole crew
Messin with me you're through
I don't sleep and I don't relax
I kick funky lyrics to the max
I know you like the rhymes I'm swingin
But there'll be more that I'm bringin
Rocky V (Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack album to the 1990 film Rocky V.
The album is a complete departure from the previous soundtracks in the Rocky film series because it doesn't consist mainly of classic Bill Conti songs or rock music, but is instead dominated by hip hop and new jack swing music. Although the classic Conti songs "Conquest", "Mickey", and "Gonna Fly Now" are used in the film, they are not featured on the soundtrack.
In the trailer for the movie, there were songs by Vince DiCola from Rocky IV (1985) including "Training Montage" and "War" that were not present for the film nor the soundtrack. The only Bill Conti song on the soundtrack, "Can't Stop the Fire", is not used in the film but was later used on the album Rocky Balboa: The Best of Rocky, which was released to coincide with the release of Rocky Balboa in 2006.
Only five of the eleven tracks on the soundtrack are used in the film: the film's theme, "Go for It (Heart and Fire)" by Joey B. Ellis, "Take You Back (Home Sweet Home)" by 7A3, "Keep It Up" by Snap!, "All You Gotta Do is Sing" by Joey B. Ellis and "The Measure of a Man" by Elton John.
