I'm black n' white
I do it right
My name is Jovanotti
Wanna start a fight
A fight between the bass
And the beat of the drum
A fight to get busy
A fight to get fun
I wanna talk to you
About the emperators
About the new pumpers
And the dominators
Wave your hands to these names
But don't forget mine
My name is Jovanotti
I create the crime
Yo, ha ha

He's the teacher of the master

Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa
