The Legend of MC H20 Lyrics

[The Blind Def Crew]
The Blind Def Crew you know we're hardcore

[The Phantom]
Got a blind chauffeur got his cane out the door
Tip tip tap pin on down to broadway

[Tic Toc]
Women and children get out of the way!

[The Blind MC]
Rollin' in the ride down the avenue
If you get in the way, you are through!
Drivin' in the car cruising down the block
Rollin' on the street or on the sidewalk
The Blind Def Crew is on the mike
Drivin' by braille is what we like

[The Phantom]
The Blind MC he likes a girl that's real
Not a sight to see, but something to feel

[The Blind MC]
Don't give me a girl with fly fingernails
Just give me a honey I can read like braille
[Tic Toc]
We are so fresh cause we got the beat
Walkin' down the block cane before feet

[The Blind Def Crew]
Blind is what I am, def is how we rock
Sighted MCs get off our jock
Our music is so live the sound is the beat
But we don't have a beat box to make it all complete
The reason for this is not def or blind
But we'll explain it now in this tragic rhyme
We had a def beat box he played with the band
But he beat under water not on land
The livest freshest defest ever to rock
He was the one and only nautical beat box
It all started in the pool one sunny day
When MC H20 started to play
He was out in the water throwin' down
So I broke out the tape and recorded the sound
We'd be rockin' the beat jamming' at the show
He'd bring his fish tank and be good to go
We'd chill at the beach and put the girls in motion
While MC H20 was beatin in the ocean
To be a great beat box was his only wish
To create the sounds and chill with the fish
He rose to the top just like a dream
Beatin' in rivers lakes and streams
His beats were always def and sometimes ill
If you looked real close, you could see his gills
He lived life hard he gave it his all
He took his vacation in Niagra Falls
The legend is great and I wouldn't want to spoil it
But one day I caught him beat boxing in the toilet

But off of that and back to the story
Of the human percolator's rise and fall from glory
On October 31st MCH20
Was invited on TV by Jaques Cousteau
Jaques and the crew were chillin in the boat
H20 was in the water cause he could float
Chillin' in the waves cold ocean percolating
When Jaques yelled out "H20 is evaporating"
We looked in the water and it was true
He had swallowed his tongue and was turning blue
We were up on the calypso nothing we could do
MC H20 was clearly through
We threw a lifeboat out to save the submarine MC
His mama was crying watching on TV
We dragged him out the water laid him out on his back
His last words were "underwater beat box is whack!"

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
