Ugly Duckling - Cardiff lyrics
Your rating:
(And now ladies and gentlemen) Here we go with an energy burst Disbursed into a room like We're gonna be in your town soon So if you wanna hear a rap band Who can drop the bomb like the Gap Band Then we got you covered like an afghan Half man, half cat, raps off the hinges A knuckle head cringes as if I had syringes I'm not a doctor but I brought the right dosage To mend 'em and send 'em on their way like postage I got the audience noddin their head Like a foreigner pretending that he knows what I said With both mics checked, two Tech's and a Vestax Blowin up the set, make it hard for the next act Never in the daylight, call me Dracula Flippin like a spatula once I get the stage mic Wouldn't leave a page white, I write on And the crowd stays hype even when I'm gone I wish I was in Cardiff, they know how to rock But what about Austin, they were goin off Don't forget Belfast, they were top notch So come on everybody let's flop Einstein, what you doing (I keep diggin, I keep scratchin) Oh, well where'd you get this record then huh (Searched everywhere) Like where (I searched for the one in Ohio) Where else, where else (New York City, Dallas, and Chicago) Got the music coming straight out of the mind Of the Young Einstein He signed to find beats For my rhyme design I'm searching for some inventiveness Within my sentences, rhythm is the genesis Forming like photosynthesis Infinite, limitless As never before Getting so fly you'll shut the screen door From mop tops and sock hops To hot shots with stock ops To Don Knotts and Sasquatch Put this in your lock box I saturate breaks, evaporate tapes And I made dates in different shaped states Makin sure the show is worth every penny we spent Livin on per diems, US and European Mike pack the merchandise (what) believe it Even when promoters give us the cold shoulder It wasn't that way in Minnesota (that's true) But I wish I was in Boston, they know how to rock But what about Bristol, they were goin off Don't forget Burlington, they were top notch So come on everybody let's flop But wait, before we do, let me say thank you To every single person who supported the crew Like the DJ's, the writers, and college radio But most of all the cats who helped us out at the show Some even took us out to eat and let us sleep in their house I got the bed, I got the floor, well then I'll crash on the couch With all the people that we've met And all the places we've been Yo we gotta give it up Then let me run it again I wish I was in Berlin, they know how to rock But what about Boulder, they were goin off Aberdeen, Eugene, they were top notch So come on everybody let's flop Yeah I gotta say hello to my man Tyler And the big red posse out in Lincoln I wanna say hey to Molly and Brandon out in Brooklyn And I wanna send a big "how arrre ya" Out to Brian at UMass, Boston Yo I wanna say what's up to my man Rob and Jeremy From Lawrence, Kansas, what's up My man Young O for puttin us up in Albuquerque My man Chad from Chapel Hill, North Carolina What's up, this is large Meezy I wanna shout out to Thes One Yo, if you don't got my money I'm a put you under the stairs Manchester baby, give it up to Toronto What's up Dublin Ireland, Tempe Arizona, Catalina Long Beach California, Humboldt County Yeah man, yo man I gotta ask you one last question Before we get outta here Where we taking this jam too (Compton)
