Step right up, Hurry, hurry, Hurry
|
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls
|
Children of all ages
|
Move closer and bear witness to the one who cuts on
|
Not one, not two, but three turntables
|
Known throughout the four corners of the world as
|
The Fastest Man Alive
|
|
He¡¯s The Fastest Man Alive
|
Cut it up Flash
|
He¡¯s The Fastest Man Alive
|
|
Breakdown!
|
|
Born in a ghetto, lived in a slum
|
But he was raised high and mighty to be number one
|
The park was his stage, cost didn¡¯t exist
|
And everybody was invited to be a witness
|
Running things on the South Bronx streets
|
Known for great feats of skill and techniques
|
He¡¯s the priest of the beats, the king of the scratch
|
And all the rest are just a product of wacks!
|
|
He¡¯s The Fastest Man Alive
|
Cut it up Flash
|
He¡¯s The Fastest Man Alive
|
|
Breakdown!
|
|
Pull up your seats, class is in session
|
The master¡¯s gonna teach you all a good lesson
|
It¡¯s an open invitation despite what you¡¯ve heard
|
And the first to come will be the first served
|
Perpetrated a fraud, said that you was the best
|
You tried to fool the public and lied to the press
|
You wasn¡¯t even all of that way back in the past
|
When you know you learned all you know from Flash!
|
|
He¡¯s The Fastest Man Alive
|
Cut it up Flash
|
He¡¯s The Fastest Man Alive
|
|
Breakdown!
|
|
Cuts are controlled by the swiftness of hand
|
The Turntables obey his every command
|
The method he uses, you say could never be bought
|
And only by the Grandmaster could he ever be taught
|
Now you gather ¡®round the stage to watch him perform
|
Taking notes for the next time you go on
|
But you can¡¯t duplicate it, so don¡¯t even try
|
Because the Grandmaster¡¯s hands are quicker than the eye
|
|
He¡¯s The Fastest Man Alive
|
Cut it up Flash
|
He¡¯s The Fastest Man Alive
|
|
Bus¡¯ dis
|
|
He wrote the book on the tricks that you¡¯ve learnt
|
And the name wasn¡¯t given homeboy, was earned
|
He¡¯s the man called Flash, fresh from the beginning
|
Taking out sucker D.J¡¯s for a living
|
King of Hip Hop, godfather of rock
|
Cuts are leaving D.J¡¯s in a state of shock
|
You took the name Grandmaster and you made it your own
|
Well it belongs to Flash and you should leave it alone
|
Now fate¡¯s taking it¡¯s toll on the road you stole
|
And you can¡¯t live up to the name you hold
|
Grandmaster¡¯s his name you just can¡¯t take
|
If the people don¡¯t give it to you, you¡¯re fake
|
You can¡¯t hide the shame, you¡¯re every bit a disgrace
|
And the guilt is written all over your face
|
There¡¯s no doubt about it, not a question to ask
|
The Fastest Man Alive is Grandmaster Flash
