"i'd like to know.. are you really ready for some super dynamite soul?

Then thank you because now it's star time!"

The apollo (4x)

[kid capri]

The apollo a place where performers perform

Before you got on the stage you would all be warned

About if you're good enough to rock the place

But if you wasn't they would throw beer cans in your face

Well it was a amateur night a group dressed in white

Didn't think it was spectacular but they were alright

Kept sayin to myself i wish it was me

That was on the stage doin my r-a-p

Well uh anyway we go back to the days

When james brown used to have the crowd amazed

He used to come out dancin just doin his work

And when he screamed all the ladies went bezerk

Slidin across the stage like he was runnin on oil

Shoes shinin bright like aluminum foil

Women was fallin out innocent to ?

He said "please please" then started rappin

You only seen one show you couldn't stay to see another

Of the singin godfather number one soul brother

Events like this happened all the time

At the place that was known to be one of a kind

It's the apollo

The apollo (4x)

[kid] it's the apollo!

The apollo (3x)

The ap..

The apollo yes a legend in it's time

The place is so fly that i wish it was mine

I mean the line was so long but people did not care

Just as long as they knew they could get in there

On wednesday's amateur night was cool

And you could go to see what other artists could do

Nothin but black stars risin to the top

Now you see what's takin over we call it hip-hop

The apollo no other could ever compete

When you look down and i see people movin their feet

When the stage used to rise all the people went nuts

And no one ever kept their big mouth shut

They used to scream and yell raise a whole lot of hell

Hang off the balcony and sometimes they fell

It's a tradition so whatta ya do? i don't know

You get a ticket take yourself to the apollo hey

The showbiz cafe was right next door

Leave from the apollo and you party some more

You can go many places to have a show

But no matter where you went you always seemed to go

To the apollo

To the apollo!

Uhh.. (the apollo) .. ..

To the apollo!

And let me break it down for you one time

Hey the a for artist the p for people

O for outstanding l - for legal

And the other l-o is for the low-down shame

For the ones that tried to destroy the name

So whatever you do you can never forget

About the place that always kept you drippin with sweat

From dancin and prancin and jumpin up and down

Everytime you turned around a new show was in town

It's the place that everybody would always go

And i called it the famous apollo

It's the apollo

It's the apollo! (the apollo) uhh!

The apollo (4x)

[kid]it's the apollo come on!

The apollo (3x)

[kid]uhh!

The apollo (2x)

[kid]it's the apollo!

The apollo (2x)

The apollo..
