Artist:  Bass P
Album:  "It's Mine"
Song:  "It's Showtime" (Remix)

Intro:
Remix the track, bring the old school back

Verse 1:
Bass P's in the house, comin' loud and strong
Everybody get down, 'cuz I'm droppin' da bomb
I got the funky sound that'll make you dance
My devastatin' rhymes will put ya in a trance
So just groove to this, no mellowin' out
I'm throwin' down hard, man, without a doubt
I love to rap, so just give me the mic
And all of my lyrics I know you'll like
I'm just a southernized rapper from Tennessee
But that doesn't make me any less of a G
Now, my skin is fare, I got red hair
And me and my girl make a helluva pair--Word
I got game, I got skillz, and more
Just wait till you see me out on the dance floor
The crowd'll go "Ahhhh" and then they'll go "Ooooo"
Ain't a damn thing Bass P cannot do
Just one phat rapper up on the mic
And like the Fresh Prince, I'm "Too Damn Hype"
Yeah, I get kinda crazy whenever I rock
And after the show, all the girls will flock
'Cuz this fly guy's goin' up to the top
I'm settin' a new style of hip-hop
So just sit back, relax, while I bust a rhyme
Yeeeaaah boy, it's showtime

Chorus:
8 o'clock and it's time for my show
Bass P's on the stage, always ready to go
So I blow up the spot with a lyrical flow
Bustin' rhymes for the showtime--Haaooo

Verse 2:
Check it out, verse 2 of this funky track
And you know I don't fake the funk like Shaq
'Cuz I'm droppin' da bomb, like I said before
Here's your chance to dance out on the floor
And it's just a little taste of a hip-hop explosion
When I throw down, there'll be bodies in motion
Like a potion, I'm full of magic
And the fate of those that dis me.....is tragic
You see me over here, you see me over there
And when I play ball, you'll see me up in the air
And it's you I dare to play me a game
'Cuz I'll school ya and rule ya and put ya to shame
Yeah, I like playin' ball and also slam dunkin'
But I like even more to rap about somethin'
That's why I'm here--to have some fun
And when I'm done, I'll be number 1
Every single day I be bustin' it up
Kinda like a volcano, I'm about to erupt
'Cuz I'm hot like lava, cool like ice
The others are bland, and I got the spice
Just like Pringles, I got the flavor
But mine is a cherry red lemon Lifesaver
So do me a favor, and pay attention
'Cuz somethin' important I'm about to mention
I'm a friendly guy, but man, I'll snap
If ya ever try to play me in one of your raps
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not tryin' to dis
But you made a mistake when you messed with this
I'm not tryin' to scare ya like an armed fleet
Just lettin' you know that I can never be beat
So just sit back, relax, while I bust a rhyme
Yeeeaaah boy, it's showtime

Chorus

Verse 3:
Verse tre's kinda new on the remix tip
My rap's like a glass of wine that you sip
'Cuz it goes down smooth, then hits you hard
My lyrics stay fresh, 'cuz they've always been jarred
To all the stars in this game, I gotta say somethin'
Makin' money off their beats, when their lyrics ain't nothin'
Try to expand the knowledge in yo' head
Instead of sellin' out with songs like "Killin' niggaz dead"
See I know I got skillz, 'cuz I rap about more
Never thought that I'd blow up like this before
See, I keep it all legal, and keep it all real
You'll never hear me talkin' about caps I peel
'Cuz I don't do it like that, and I'll never sell out
9-8 be the year that I'm makin' the clout
Showin' everybody how I like to run my game
Tryin' to make Bass P a well-known name
To all my friends in the Midsouth, you know you're the best
Just wishin' y'all could be with me when I'm in the Midwest
But that's cool, 'cuz they're givin' me props
So, I'm givin' 'em back, and you know it don't stop
Check it, I am the man you can always page
Whenever you need a player to rock the stage
So just sit back, relax, while I bust a rhyme
I'm outta here, See ya....it's showtime

Chorus

(The melody track on this song was inspired by the musical genius, Vaughn Weddle.)
