Which line from "Star Trekkin'" by The Firm would make the best hook for a hip-hop single?

Star Trekkin - The Firm

Star Trekkin' across the universe,

Star Trekkin' across the universe,

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.


It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we
know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it,
Captain.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.

Star Trekkin' across the universe,

Star Trekkin' across the universe,

It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we
know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it,
Captain.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.


Ah! We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill;
we come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, men.

It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.

Well, it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as
we know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it,
Captain.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, scrape 'em off, Jim.

Star Trekkin' across the universe,

Star Trekkin' across the universe,

Ye cannot change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics;
ye cannot cahnge the laws of physics, laws of physics, Jim.

Ah! We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill;
we come in peace, shoot to kill; Scotty, beam me up!

It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.

Well, it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as
we know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it,
Captain.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, better calm down!

Ye cannot change the script Jim.
Och, #!*& Jimmy.

It's worse than that, it's physics, Jim.

Bridge to engine room, warp factor 9.

Och, if I give it any more she'll blow, Cap'n!

wasn;t their a line line about 'only going forward coz we can;t find the reverse'? It was a rhyme for 'star trecking across the the universe'

not sure about a hip hop sample, but i think it would sound good in a jungle or 'ardkore tune!

The Firm was a band formed by ex-Rubettes member Tony Thorpe. They had a top 20 hit in a similar vein in 1982 - "Arthur Daley ('E's Alright)." After the Firm, Thorpe then went on rather improbably to pioneer UK acid house as the Moody Boyz and act as "Groove Consultant" on the KLF's hits - so there's the link.

"Ye cannot change the script Jim"


That's it.

Jimi Cauty was briefly or occasionally a member of the Moody Boys (sic), too.

Aw c'mon, it's gotta be "we come in peace, shoot to kill".

I can so see Dipset actually doing this, also.
