Beat, Beat, Beat Street
You got to believe in something
You got to believe in someone
You got to have that special something
makes you want to meet the morning sun
'Cause there's people laughing
and people crying
There's people giving up
and people trying
There's people living
and people dying
Nobody seems to know the reason why
It's like a heartbeat
Beat Street
It's like a heartbeat
I'm talkin' about Beat Street
No one said it'd be easy
And people never treat you like they should
You got to get out and go for yourself
But you knew that you always would
It's like a heartbeat
Beat Street
Kenny, let me go with you.
All right.
Fresh.
Ramo, when will you teach me that style?
Practice up on it.
I like you, man.
- I'm going with you.
- Check it out.
Cotton-Field Chants and Hollers. Very fresh.
- Why can't I go with you, Kenny?
- Do your homework.
Man, you're crazy.
If I take you, I got to bring you back,
and maybe I don't want to come right back.
Maybe I'll meet a female. Come on, let's go.
About time.
Meet a female.
That's bullshit...
'cause you ain't going nowhere
till you bring your records home.
Yo, Mom.
- Where are you going?
- Off to work, Mrs. Kirkland.
It's party night.
- Which is it?
- It's both.
Well, you boys be careful.
- See you later, Momski.
- Kenny, don't get in too late.
Lee, where do you think you're going?
You get in there and do your homework.
- Y'all haven't seen the last of me yet.
- Lee!
Check it out. Fresh. I could use this sound.
It's cold, man. Let's get.
Luis!
Hi.
How about checking out that train
we bombed yesterday?
Jackpot! Come on, fellas!
Slow down.
Merry Christmas, New York.
- Check it out, man.
- "Island paradise."
That's fresh, man.
Get good pictures, I need them for my kid.
- You got it in focus?
- I know what I'm doing.
Ramon, my man, that is bad.
Right! That's the word! Man, that's def!
- That's it, kid.
- Fresh, Ramon!
- King of the line.
- All right.
You see that? That is your baddest burner.
That is my favorite.
It's all right.
- Heads up!
- Yo, Chollie.
What's up, Tony? What's going on?
- Yo, Tony!
- Kenny.
- Make it snappy, we're running behind.
- Right, let's go.
- Yeah.
- Come on.
- Let's go, Double K.
- Yo, Kong. How's it going?
King Kong. Angie.
It's about time.
Sorry, we had business to take care of.
But we're here now, all right?
Everything under control, baby?
Yo, Pop, how you doing?
All right, go!
Testing, one, two, three.
It's working
It's working
Party people, if you're ready to rock
Let me hear you scream
If you really, really came to party
Then let me hear everybody
Say, "We came to party!"
We came to party!
Everybody put your hands together like this
Come on, clap
Let me hear you clap, everybody clap
Now here's a funky beat
Now here's a scratch beat
Put it all together and make it complete
Break, break, break
Play that beat
Why don't you play it for me?
Play it, kick it, play that beat
Why don't you play it for me?
Play it, kick it
Yo, bust it, bust it.
Why don't you break, man?
Why don't you break for us?
Come on, now!
Come on, baby, get down!
Beat this
All right!
Kenny, there goes Sha-Rock,
Lisa Lee and Debbie D.
Go get their record.
Well, here are three ladies
from our neighborhood
Guaranteed to rock the beat
and rock the beat good
So come on,
Debbie D, Sha-Rock and Lisa Lee
Step up to the front
so all your friends can see
We're all backing you up 100 percent
We know you practiced all week
Now this is it
If you're in favor of what I've said
Everybody say, "Go ahead!"
Go ahead!
Us girls
can boogie, too
We can dance, we can shake it
'Cause us girls
can boogie, too
So come on, girls, let's go break it
Let's go break it
Us girls are the best of friends
If one ain't got no money,
the other one lends
When we go out, we know we look real hot
What the boys want, you know we got
The fly girl Debbie D
Needs someone who can hold my policy
So fellas, move on close
Take me on a cruise and watch me float
Wine and dine my mind, show me I'm fresh
and I'll always let you know Debbie D is best
Sha-Rock's the woman
with the magical touch
I'm like burning fire,
you know I'm just too much
Treat you like a king
In the heat of the night
Romance to the moon if your timing is right
Get your back wet, all soaked in sweat
He says I'm the kind of girl
that he can never forget
Sophisticated is the lady Lisa Lee
To be the man in my life,
you got to be my only
I'll always hold ya secure
In my arms real tight
Squeeze you real good
till you feel just right
Have a heart of gold
I want to share with you
Give you the type of loving
you never been through
And if you dig where we're comin' from
say, "Yeah!"
Yeah!
And if you want to rock this party tonight
say, "Yeah!"
Yeah!
Us, us, us
Us, us, us
'Cause us girls
can boogie, too
We can dance, we can shake it
'Cause us girls
can boogie, too
So come on, girls, let's go break it
Us girls can boogie, too
We can dance, we can shake it
'Cause us girls
can boogie, too
So come on, girls, let's go break it
Chollie.
Do you hear that?
Yeah, man.
It's weird.
What the hell is that?
It's weird, man.
It's spooky.
It's coming from in there.
Tito?
- Tito who?
- Tito Reyes.
What the hell are you doing down here?
I'm looking for him, all right?
He's about this high, plays congas.
I was in the army with him.
- You're looking for him in the basement?
- Este esta loco. Let's get out of here.
No, wait.
This is the address, right?
- Sure. Malo's big brother.
- Yeah, but they dipped out a long time ago.
- After the fire.
- What fire? Tito was in a fire?
Tito wasn't in a fire. The building was.
Landlord torched this building
about five times.
Damn.
I've thought about him for almost a year.
Man, he could play them conga drums, too.
We were supposed to get up a band.
It's been my dream to play in a band
in New York.
This ain't New York, this is the Bronx.
Come on, K, let's get back to business.
- Could you give me something to eat?
- You got any cash?
Come on.
What's up?
You're biters. All your homeboys are biters.
- You're all wack. What's up with that?
- What are you talking about?
Your moves ain't worth it to be bit.
What's up with that, punk?
Punk? Who you calling punk?
That's biting.
Later. Roxy?
- Don't flake.
- Be there.
- Damn Spit! Writes his name on everything.
- Ramo, what you doing?
Lousy bastard, Spit!
That was Luis' best burner.
It's only been running three days.
- Ramo, later for that.
- Come on.
Get on the train.
Good morning.
Ramo's making us
the baddest sweatshirts. Word.
You know the kind that turn inside out?
One side's gonna say "Beat Street"
and our name.
The other side will have curvy lines.
And when I do my backspin...
it'll be the baddest, man. Incredible.
Kenny, why don't you just move that cereal
and lay your whole body across the table?
