Who Stole It?

Who stole the soul, the rock and roll
The pop, the hip-hop, be-bop
And some of the whole lot
Checking it out from the likes of James Brown
Father to your town and tore the house down
Criminals, no, rappers like myself
Took an old record from a record shop
Found the groove that soothes
And now improved
Add even more bass to make the hyped crowd move
Add a vocal track to give it that extra smack
Of the new Jack funk rap act
From album one, this is deduced
Like minute maid, I've still got the juice
Half of one, the only song, the only child
Turn this wild
So I won't hold it
As long as people care
Who stole it?
See

Who stole it?

And now hear this
Who stole it? Stole it?
Music is free

Who stole it?

Oh, snap!
Babe, catch
Who stole it? Stole it?

Are you sitting comfortably?
Good! Then we shall begin

Oh, snap! Who stole it from me?
C&C Music Factory
But I like it, I like it
Your stuff is good
Yo! Fella's welcome to the neighborhood
'Cause some they drive into a sample suicide
Both they had on a rapside joyride
Fail classes 1000
We taught them from stateside
Girls to England
Good to see though
The MC turbo
A beat, hell no!
A rhyme Picasso
Take the old and make the new

Who cares for who
As long as it moves
So if a sample is a crime
Call the cops
'Cause someone get mine
Taking and making a hit
And you'll never see the world split

Who stole it?

Who stole it? Stole it?

It's the very best in digital dance music

Brilliant

Who stole it?

Oh, snap!
Babe, catch
Who stole it? Stole it?

Let's look at this another way
Back in the day when Elvis played
He stole his rock and roll from the blacks
And the media never attacked
But if I sample some seconds on a record
Yo! Check it
They all after the neck with a lynch mob and a noose
But the madman always gets lose

Heavy metal guitars made them stars
But let's dispose them for what they are
Samplers!
'Cause all their tricks are classic music rifts
Ain't that a bitch?
But you didn't know that
'Cause all the bad press goes to rap acts
So if you want to know it
The whole music industry stole it

Who stole it?
And now hear this
Who stole it? Stole it?

Music is free
Who stole it?
Oh, snap!
Babe, catch
Who stole it? Stole it!
