Hard Rock (It’s The Beat Of The Street) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hard Rock
It's the beat of the street
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet
Hard Rock
It's the beat of the street
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet

[Verse 1]
Walkin' with your one to be
Walkin' with the beat box
Checkin' out the rhythm as it rocks the [?]
Check out the rhythm of the stone-stone [?]
Check out the rhythm as it makes you rock
I'm trying to be the undercover comin' on strong
But I can rock the microphone all night long

[Chorus]
Hard Rock
It's the beat of the street
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet

[Verse 2]
Say who could it be? It's DJ Flea
Rockin' from the bottom to the top of the key
When he's rockin' on the wheels hе will make you carry on
Just rock that rhythm until the break of dawn
And thеn you know that, party people that's a fact
Just rock to the rhythm 'cause you know it's like that, ha
[Chorus]
Hard Rock
It's the beat of the street
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet
Hard Rock
It's the beat of the street
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet

[Verse 3]
Well you know, just how to let go
'Cause all the party people just love to disco
Feel this AC, double double deuce C
Rockin' that rhythm to the highest degree
A bop-de-bop, just let your body wanna rock
Rockin' to the rhythm that will never ever, ever stop

[Chorus]
Hard Rock
It's the beat of the street
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet

[Verse 4]
DING-DING-DING-DONG-DONG-DONG-DONG
DING-DING-DING-DONG-DONG-DONG-DONG
Don't be ashamed, don't let your body be the brain
Rockin' to the rhythm that will never ever be the same
Listen to the sound, the best sounds around
That's guaranteed to make a body throw down
Listen to the music that sounds so sweet
Just clap your hands and stomp your feet
[Chorus]
Hard Rock
It's the beat of the street
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet
You're gonna sound so sweet
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
So sweet

[Verse 5]
Hey people out there, don't have no fear
Just listen to the word that I want you to hear
Just pick up the stone and don't be alone
Just rock to the rhythm to the break of dawn
You got the F-L-E-E and me, Sugarfree
Rockin' to the rhythm that could never be wrong ha

Hard Rock
Hard Rock
Hard Rock
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet

Hard Rock
It's the beat of the street
Hard Rock
You're gonna sound so sweet
