Hip Hop Nutcracker, The (2022)

[bunniefuu]

JOSEPH: Oh, hey, y'all,

it's New Year's Eve in New York City.

This is a story of a family

who needs a little help,

like we all do sometimes.

Mom and Pop just can't seem to get along.

And Maria-Clara wishes they'd work it out

and light up the dance floor

like they used to back in the day.

As the community turns out to celebrate,

can some holiday magic

bring her parents back together?

-

Hey, let's get this thing in motion

Block so hot got me full of emotion

Everybody's on the street

Feel the energy

From your head to your feet

So crispy, fresh faded

Holiday's topnotch, upgraded

Turn up for New Year's Eve

Everybody getting ready

It's time to party

It's my block, I started this function

Back in the day

Where Hip-Hop was pumping

And I don't say this casually

I love these folks like family

And lemme tell you

About ones I watch over

Here's an introduction

To take a look closer

Maria-Clara, she's the talk of the town

Loves her parents

But they're bringing her down

Whatever happened

To that night in the club

When they first saw each other

And they fell in love?

At the classic toy maker

Drosselmeyer time breaker

She's got the vision

And she's making the plan

Always got a little bit of magic at hand

Old New

It's something like the fusion of the two

Tradition with a twist

Modern music don't miss...

...It's finally time

Here's your last heads-up

We got the power

Light this whole place up!

Let's go!

Time...

T... t... time is just...

T... t... time is just...

Time is just another game to play.

Come on!

Yo, it's me again, your man on the block

I've known all these kids

Since they started to walk

Let me talk a second, now, listen to me

Got good intuition

About the things that I see

Did you catch Maria-Clara

And The Nutcracker man?

Their chemistry is cracking

And I think I'm a fan

But just about the time

Love was sprouting up

This fool went and left

To go sell some nuts

-Hey, you're gonna miss out

Miss out

Don't let the girl get away

It's a handout

She has a New Year's wish

That I heard about

To get her mom and dad

To work it all out...

Yeah!

...So that tonight, if things go right

-Her parents will kiss by midnight

Midnight

So, go help them find a spark

Might just help your spark to start

I'm Cool Peep, so I'll watch your cart

Hurry up

before the love departs, go!

Snowflakes

Snowflakes

Throw your hands up, throw your hands up

If you're back in time

Throw your hands up

Throw your hands up, throw your hands up

If you're back in time

Throw your hands up

Another New Year's Eve

And I'm feeling terrific

Back in the day, yeah, non-specific

Where love first bloomed

When the vibes were right

I mingle but I tingle too

Two hearts, so bright

But let's not jump the g*n

'Cause the night is still so young

So grab a partner, feel the beat

And both get lost in the song

See, I am your MC

And I'd like to say what's good

Drosselmeyer's spinnin' records

But she's also spinning time

She got the flow while I got the rhymes

Keeps your eyes open

And your fists bumpin'

There's magic on the dance floor

So keep the rhythm bumpin'

And your feet jumpin'

To find what you're looking for

Put your hands up

It's time to take it back

Let's dance, DJ, spin that track

The correct spelling

of sweet is S-W-E-E-T.

Yeah!

Go!

Get up, get up, get up, get up

Get up, get up, get up, get up

Get up, get up, get up

Party

Party

Party

Party

Ladies and gentlemen.

Yeah!

Yeah!

-Can I have some candy?

Yeah!

Yo, yo, get back to what you got to do

When time's runnin' out

You don't want to lose it

Mission is clear, but you gotta move fast

Fix their future, learn from their past

The dance is the key

Now you're up to speed

Finally, now you got what you need

It's almost midnight

The clock's gonna chime

Hurry up now, you can make it in time

Make it in time, make it in time

The dance is the key

You can make it in time

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four, three,

two, one.

Happy New Year!

Yeah, now, we're back on the block

Where we got our start

Now things are looking better

Now we got the heart

I hope you had fun

'Cause we had a ball

When we work together

Love conquers all

Holidays are a time

For magic and to catch up

With family and friends

They give you lessons to pick up

Like sometimes you can find love

On the dance floor

And sometimes you got to go back

To go forward

Community, they got your back

No matter the weather

Even through tough times

Movement brings us together

So everybody on your feet

You got one more chance

Now, shut this block down

Everybody, let's dance

Everybody, gather around

Strike a pose, give a look, what a time

Another New Year's Eve is in the books

Happy holidays, y'all.

-

-Clap your hands, everybody

If you got what it takes

'Cause I'm Kurtis Blow

And y'all need to know

That these are the breaks

Brakes on a bus, brakes on a car

Breaks to make you a superstar

Breaks to win and breaks to lose

These here breaks to rock your shoes

And these are the breaks

Break it up, break it up, break it up...

...If your woman steps out

With another man

That's the breaks, that's the breaks

And she runs off with him to Japan

That's the breaks, that's the breaks

-And the IRS says they wanna chat

That's the breaks, that's the breaks

And you can't explain

why you claimed the cat

That's the breaks, that's the breaks

And Ma Bell sends you

A whoppin' bill

That's the breaks, that's the breaks

With 18 phone calls to Brazil

That's the breaks, that's the breaks

And you borrowed money

From the mob

That's the breaks, that's the breaks

And yesterday

You lost your job, baby

That's the breaks, that's the breaks

Oh, well

Well, these are the breaks

Break it up, break it up, break it up...

...Brakes on a train, brakes on a plane

Breaks to make you go insane

Breaks in love, breaks in w*r

We got the breaks

To get you on the floor

And these are the breaks

Break it up, break it up, break it up

Break down...

...Break it up, break down
