I'm always running to this 9 to 5
Yeah, I don't know about you, but I'm gonna try to make it happen
You know what I mean?
It's a family affair
You asked me here 'cause you need me to kick some
Funky rhymes, here we go, I'm a gift on
The producers, Mark and Mike laid the beat down
The next gave me a call so we can see how the words would fit
When we laid down a voice track
But I already knew, MC heart attack
Across the airwaves in every station
So these sounds can be heard all around the nation
You don't know me, I'm MC J-Ski
The crowds obey me and DJs play me
Our style of hip-hop comes off nonstop
While they get lip-locked, I'm makin' your body rock
We won't ask why, me in 1990
We just get paid down with ABC
Because it's one part music, one part melody
One part rhymin' and the rest is family
It's a family affair
It's a family affair (Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it)
It's a family affair (Family affair)
It's a family affair (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
We arrive, standin' tall like a tower
And I'm the man with the mic and the power
Open up my mouth and the sparks fly
Next, the ladies scream and you know why
I give what they've been waitin' for when the juice flows
Excitin', I'm invitin' 'em, everyone knows
When I get hyper, you hear the explosion
The crowds get busy, I miss the commotion
Freakin' the dance, that's hand in the air
So you know that you're live at a family affair show
Feelin' the energy, you know we can do this
When the party's over, you'll encore and renew this
My family's always there for another
The girls are my sisters, the guys are my brothers
So if you wanna party, let's all join hands
And sing it together so it's heard in the next land
It's a family affair (Family affair)
It's a family affair (Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it)
It's a family affair (It's a family affair, now)
It's a family affair (It's a family affair)
Family affair (We are family)
Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it
That's how we do it, the plan of the formula
Is to make you jam on the floor while improvin' our
Reputation of the ABC crew
Manahan, Mark, Mike, yo, and me too
When you and me got a bond that is so strong
No one can withstand it, it's made to last long
We're stronger than the force of a tidal wave
When I'm kickin' the sound that I know you all crave
If you wanna prove by playin', rewind it
Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it
Controls your mind and put you in a dance mood
Bobbin' your head as you jam to the Wayne's groove
I'm positive you'll enjoy it when we deal
Your ears four aces of music 'cause we feel
We hit the jackpot, so it's time to cash in
But shield your eyes or go blind from the flash when
It's a family affair (Family affair)
It's a family affair (Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it)
It's a family affair (It's a family affair, now)
It's a family affair (Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it)
It's a family affair (Family affair)
It's a family affair (Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it)
It's a family affair (Family affair)
It's a family affair (It's a family affair, now)
It's a family affair (Family affair)
It's a family affair (Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it)
It's a family affair (Family affair)
It's a family affair (Pump it up, rock it loud and you'll find it)
