1999 (Keep Steppin’) lyrics

[Intro]
1999
Come on (Keep-keep steppin')
Yeah, y'all, let's go (Keep steppin')
How many y'all ready to get this party on? (Keep steppin')
1999, and this is how we do it, look out (Keep, keep)
Yo...

[Chorus - Prince & Doug E. Fresh]
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin'
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
The time's too close, son, you better start checkin' it
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin' (Come on)
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon (You know what, y'all?)
The time's too close, son, you better start checkin' it (Yo, you know what?)

[Verse 1 - Doug E.]
I make it hot like a toaster, roll like a coaster
Family mourn ‘cause they wanna see the dawn
Set as they sweat, feenin' and drama
But not the kinda of drama to run 'n tell your mama
Armageddon, headin', mass destruction
Conjunction junction, what's your function?
The war's goin' on inside while you lunchin'
Computers replaced you - take a reduction
You made a mistake, boo, but take a deduction
Your money is worthless, you're hungry and nervous
You feel like I feel, that you don't deserve this
Inside you learn this, get super deep-a
Heaven is inside, and you're the gatekeeper
Hell is inside, and you're the Grim Reaper
Livin' costs more, dyin' cost cheaper
Whatever you do, son, don't be a sleeper
[Chorus]
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin'
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
The time's too close, son, you better start checkin'
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
The time’s too close, son, you better start checkin'

[Verse 2]
The truth, some people hear it, some people fear it
The truth, some people just won't go near it
As sure as I'm me, and the skies are blue
The truth is the key to unlock the true you
Ancient, old, worth more than gold
Cannot be bought, cannot be sold
Cannot be pushed, cannot be lifted
And I'm tellin' you, you got a whole lot to deal with
In this world of all diverse
Like you used to talk proper, but now you curse
The sun used to shine from day to day
Now the whole universe is filled with gray
No friends, children, family nor wife
And disrespect is the way of life
You wanna go, say no, don't need no airfare
Just open your eyes, and then you're there (Keep steppin')
And if you go, come right and exact
And remember, there's no way back (Keep steppin')
So close your eyes, live in hate and despise (Keep steppin')
All those girls and all those guys (Keep steppin')
Who told you you never had stars in your eyes
This is your destiny, rise, uh!
[Chorus]
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
The time's too close, son, you better start checkin'
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
The time’s too close, son, you better start checkin', uh!

[Bridge]
(Keep-keep)
'Luminati, y'all, move your body, y'all
(Keep steppin')
'Luminati, y'all, move your body, y'all
(Keep-keep keep steppin')
If you know the truth, then pass it on
If you know the truth, raise the roof
If you know the truth, pass it on
If you know the truth, raise the roof
If you know the truth, pass it on
If you know the truth, raise the roof
If you know the truth, pass it on
If you know the truth, raise the roof
Come on...
[Chorus]
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon ('Luminati, y'all, move your body, y'all)
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’ (Come on) (Keep steppin')
(Keep, now)
(Uh)
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’ (Yeah) (Keep steppin')
(Keep steppin')
('Luminati, y'all, move your body, y'all) (Come on)
Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon
1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’
(Keep steppin')

(Keep steppin')

(Keep steppin')

(Keep steppin')
