Ready Rock C, but right now, everybody out there
I want everybody out there that’s ugly
all the ugly people be quiet
all the filthy, stinky, nasty people be quiet
all the homeboys that got aids be quiet
all the girls out there that don’t like guys, be quiet
hold on, wait a minute all the girls that don’t like guys be quiet
you know it cause see, what we like to do when we perform is we like to
see how much noise the people can make, right?
