Salt and pepa's on the mic makin' sure you like 
The type of hype that's unbelievable to write 
Spinderella's gonna spin from beginning to end 
Once again  we're gonna let the party begin 
So tell me pepa  are you ready to work it out? 
You know it salt  i'm ready to work it out 
Spinderella  are you ready to work it out? 
Cuz salt and pepa is ready to work it out 
So let the rhythm run (what?), the rhythm run 
Now let the drums run (good), the drums run 
So let the rhythm run (huh?), the rhythm run 
Yo, salt... whassup? can we get some? 
They call me salt, i'm like a billion bulbs 
The rhymes i toss, they're more electric than a lightning bug 
On the strength i swore there's no either/or 
Mcs, we're gonna have a mouth-to-mouth war 
Some rappers got soul on the mic, right? (right) 
But others be playin' it like they're all that 
And you know what'll happen if i don't like your style of rappin' 
Step on stage as soon as i'm on it 
Spin drops a beat to warn my opponent 
Hurb pumps the bass upon the sound system 
We kick a rhyme and claim another victim 
People 'round the world, i like to play to 'em 
In every club, arena, and stadium 
Inside the jam we're known as the party stars 
Gimme a mic, and the house is like mardi gras 
I couldn't do it though without the help from 
The melody that we call the rhythm 
Yo, pepa, are you ready to work it out, huh? 
Yeah, i been ready to work it out 
So let the rhythm run (what?), the rhythm run (who?) 
Aw, c'mon pep, go ahead and bust one 
If the pep you want, that's just what you'll get 
As the rhythm runs, sweat's in full effect 
I see a crowd, i can't help but get hyped 
You gotta be, throw it on and recite 
A dope rhmye cuz i'm a lyrical queen 
The pepa mc's makin' microphones sing 
Notes to provoke, they called her a joke 
The speaker smoked when i spoke 
Boy, you better kill the noise 
Let the rhythm run (word), just let it run 
Let the drums run (yeah), now let 'em run 
Mess around and i'll bet you don't get none 
Is it over yet? never, it gets better 
We'll let the rhythm run harder than ever 
A bassline is added for some soul 
Now the guitar will make ya rock 'n roll 
My mic is like a gun, i go nowhere without it 
You gotta better one, i'm sorry but i doubt it 
My partner's name is pep, she's not a half-stepper 
You think you're kinda def, but i think that she's deffer 
Since rappin' is art and i'm a dope artist 
If lyrics mean you're smart, then i must be the smartest 
My dj likes to spin, we call her spinderella 
If cuttin' 'em was a book, she'd be a million seller 
Salt's kinda short, but she don't ever take none 
A sucker try to dis, and she just have to break one 
Assume the position, commence the dance session 
Loosen up, listen, it's not a dance lesson 
Seatbelts fastened, let's have some fun 
Brace yourself, hold on, cuz the rhythm's gonna run 
Let the rhythm run, nah, the rhythm's done 
Let the drums run, no, the drums are done
