Fresh Mode::
ANDYCAT: Well my name is Andy C and I can guarantee
That if you wanna be down, then down is where I'll be
I'm on Fresh Mode, I rock Fresh Mode,
I rap Fresh Mode, I'm on Fresh Mode!
DIZZY: And I'm Dizzy Dustin, bustin, that's my trade
And all you sucka alligators gotta get soufled
I'm on Fresh Mode, I'm on Fresh Mode,
I'm on Fresh Mode, I'm on Fresh Mode,
ANDYCAT: Hey, let me plummet from the summit to the scene as bactine
To clean away the rotten bacon fakin sizzling
I wanna make your feelings cool, let's get you a towel
With a style, I keep it fresh like a produce aisle
What's up to the guys with especially you ladies
If it's jiggling baby, then go ahead maybe
DIZZY: Rock
ANDYCAT: To the
DIZZY: Rhythm
ANDYCAT: To the
DIZZY: Roll
ANDYCAT: To the
DIZZY: Rap
People stand in line when my rhymes are on tap
They color me fresh with the flesh crayon
And if it doesn't stay on, I got a can of spray on
So you can see how top choice we get
ANDYCAT: Yo man I come fresher than a moist toilette
Now some of these players play mister big salami
But truth be told, they're fold like origami
And cease to make moves cause they get stuck in the tarpit
When they try to spill shame on my stain resistant carpet
In combat, I'm a diving wombat
When I'm locked in, I'm a rugrat, well get on that
DIZZY: I adjust my birdsight to terminate a termite
And torpedo a mosquito cause I hate a bugbite
I put the dark vibes in the archives to stay
ANDYCAT: Why?
DIZZY: I'm done feeling drowsy and lousy today
And if you feel the same way,
Come check us at a spot with no dress code
We're on Fresh Mode
We're on Fresh Mode x 4
(Young Einstein on the scratch)
DIZZY: This fresh breath mint gets dropped like a hint
I see them but they can't see me like limo tint
I'm lint under a blacklight, I stand out
While you rap to Flashlight, and fan out
Put an embargo on the cargo,
Your shipping days are through
ANDYCAT: You better call ??? (Who are you?)
I'm Andycat (I didn't know that)
We went through stacks and stacks of old wax
To bring it back
Now I don't smoke Buddha, can't stand Cess
But I'll eat a couple Ruffles cause they're guaranteed fresh
I'm like Indiana Jones dodging skulls and bones
DIZZY: Not to mention fancy cars and cellular phones
I see the circus on the surface, it's the pipe no doubt
All these leaks from the spout cause the freaks to come out
The buzz around town says you gotta
ANDYCAT: You gotta
DIZZY: If it's anything less than fresh don't say nada
Ugly Duckling in your ear,
With Young Einstein on the fader,
ANDYCAT: Cutting like a cheese grater
Now we gotta be Sonny Bono's ex and share a song
That hits heads like hair care so pull up a chair
Others want the cash prize and may commericalize
They're sly like a fry guy stealing my fries
But it's about nothing but love when we rockin your pound
Not Depeche Mode
We're on Fresh Mode
Now where's Young (scratch) Einstein (scratch)
(the man with the beats to cause a disaster)
He's on (Fresh) Mode, he's on (Fresh) Mode,
He's on (Fresh) Mode, he's... (so Fresh),
And this is Ugly Duckling, groove galore
We rock from the clouds to the ocean floor
We're on Fresh Mode, we're on Fresh Mode,
We're on Fresh Mode, we're Fresh
Einstein's Takin' Off::
ANDYCAT: When young
DIZZY: Einstein
ANDYCAT: Was a kid
DIZZY: With a bid
ANDYCAT: He had some 1200's inside his crib
DIZZY: And an MPC, under his sheets
ANDYCAT: To make beats, accomplishing incredible feats
DIZZY: While other kids played games like Chinese checkers
ANDYCAT: Rod pounded the pavement to find these records he used
DIZZY: He makes hits with the flick of a wrist
ANDYCAT: Einstein's taking off
DIZZY: Let me put it like this
There's not a Benadryl pill that could stop the itch
Or a scratch when my DJ gets up in the mix
He grips the cross fader with his nimble fingertips
And flips it back and forth, no transform switch
ANDYCAT: And the needle never skips?
DIZZY: Well it did one time,
When a fan got hype and bumped the tables from behind
EINSTEIN: So please give me some room when I'm going for mine
DIZZY: Einstein's taking off
ANDYCAT: Take off Einstein
(HOOK: Young Einstein on the turntables)
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again!.....
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again!....
Young Einstein....don't try to play me.....
I like to make funky beats and record 'em....
The scratch....th-th-the scratch...
We'll be on top....so long!...
Young Einstein....don't try to play me.....
I like to make funky beats and record 'em....
The scratch....th-th-the scratch...
I got two great partners standing by me....
ANDYCAT: Take the freeway from Canada to TJ
And I know that you won't find another DJ
DIZZY: Slash
ANDYCAT: Super record digger
DIZZY: Slash
ANDYCAT: Drum major
DIZZY: Slash
ANDYCAT: Producer
DIZZY: Slash
ANDYCAT: Ugly Duckling making a splash
He lifts loops from the original LP's
Would never think of sampling a beat break CD
And when we come to do your show, turn off the DAT's
Save 'em for those other acts, Einstein's got the wax
For the turntables, he'll reverse it, scratch,
Cut it in half......and reattach it
And keep it spinning from the beginning to the duration
when (Young Einstein) is in (deep concentration)
Yo Diz!
DIZZY: Wassup?
ANDYCAT: We almost didn't tell 'em
How Rod explores record stores like he was Magellan
DIZZY: Searching for the beats only he can find
ANDYCAT: Einstein's taking off
DIZZY: Take off Einstein
(HOOK)
Everybody C'mon::
[Singing: Na Na Na Na Na]
[Scratch: 1,2,3,4]
[Verse one begin Andycat]
Years ago we took freestyle raps
Got two turn table and we started from scratch
Now everytime that we go do a spot, they
say,"Yo, Ugly Duckling you [Scratch: Sound effect]
rock"
So weather you're in short ot a tux with a cumerbun
movin' like soul brother number one
Young Einstein breaks the sticks[Scratch: You got it]
And I could start with an EQ and good mic mix
'Cause it's the microphone I love, I hold her
close with a tug
And give her a snug hug before I plug in the plug
Unrap her before I tap her to get her some feedback
And it's on so we rap, C'mon
[Singing: Na Na Na Na Na]
All the ladies in the place
[Singing]
And everybody C'mon
[Singing]
And all the fellas in the place
[Singing]
And everybody C'mon
[Singing]
And all the ladies in the place
[Singing]
And everybody C'mon
[Singing]
And all the fellas in the place
[Singing]
[Scratch:A,B,C,D]
[Verse two: Dizzy Dustin]
"i" double "z" "y" I could begin
When they get the levels set to let my DJ spin
I release what's within feel free to join in
Dizzy is my name but I'mma me spell it again
D-devistate, I-impress, Z-zeftfully clean and fresh,
another Z for the zip code that I got on the north
side of town, and Y? Why not?
I got the flux capacitator for my Model T Ford
With lots of Giga watts to go back to before
The items on the floor at your novelty store,
need I say more?
[Repeat Chorus from last verse]
Einstein, break it down like this
[Scratch: Sound effect]
Einstein, dooin' his do
[Scratch: Young ladies from near or far, weather
you're high class or rather bourgoise]
[Verse three: Andy C]
Get down, as ugly duckling unlocks the box like pandora
If you're comin' to the jam ignore the group on stage
yellin' louder than banshees
Actin' ready for war like some Comanches
And they call themselves hip-hop men
Where have you been?
You're messin' up now 'cause you didn't know it then
And what do we call a crew that can rap like that...
Wack!
They got a wacky wack style and a wacky wack track
there would be more room if those cats played the back
[Dizzy D]Starting from when the line is long
[Andy C]until the line is gone, [Both]everybody C'mon
[Singing: Na Na Na Na Na]
All the ladies in the place
[Singing]
And everybody C'mon
[Singing]
And all the fellas in th place
[Singing]
And everybody C'mon
[Singing]
And all the ladies in the place
[Singing]
And everybody C'mon
[Singing]
And everybody C'mon
[Singing]
[Scratch: Young lady
Bang!
Do You Know What I'm Sayin'?::
[Andycat]Do you know what I'm sayin?
[Dizzy Dustin]I know what you're sayin.
[3x]
[Andycat]Do you know what I'm sayin?
[Dizzy Dustin]Man, I know what you're sayin'
Verse One: Andy C
You see I'm programmed to slam in the summer spring or fall
Pushin' up spit ball through plastic straws
And this may sound disgusting and like very gross
When I get my fill I chili most
MC's out there ya better stand clear
I have no time for conversation my dear
From kings come queens and from Queens come kings
BUt the cookie, Cookie crack took all those things
You're like a daytime talk show, and that low
Knockin on my door sayin eh, yo, yo
I go on and on like popcorn
Hook a beat up and convert into Hip-hop form
I'm so and so I this I that
When the crowds like this I'm ready to rap
So microphone checka 1,2 what is this?
Your moms in my business, shes in my business
Young Einstein[Scratch]go off, go off
Andy Cooper(What?)go off, go off[Scratch: You know what I'm sayin?]
[Both]You know what I'm sayin
[4x]
Einstein, he knows what I'm sayin
[Scratch: You know what I'm sayin]
Dizzy Dustin(huh?)go off, go off
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Verse Two: Andy C
When I was 5 years old I realized there was a road
Too hot to handle and too cold to hold
This is the music of a hip-hop band
And no rapper can rap quite like I can
And, what have you let me, yo what have I got
12 woofers in the trunk beatin' down the block
I make a right at the laundry, you see my name on the wall
Couldn't walk a straight line if they let me crawl
Girl what do you think this is presidents day?
It's not the strategy, it's not the game I play
She said Choiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoi
I break an Mc like a Tonka toy
I make it sound and later make a dub
The answer is "D" , all of the above
Elvis was a hero to most
I'm not from France, but I eat French toast
[Scratch: You know what I'm sayin?]
[Both]You know what I'm sayin
[4x]
Einstein, he knows what I'm sayin
[Scratch: You know what I'm sayin]
Everything's Alright::
[Singing Sample] Everything's alright (x3)
[Dizzy Dustin]
When the wind and sands where the land's away (uh-huh)
There's no man that stands in it's way (uh-huh)
People tell me,
Life would be lovely
When I own a ?
And find my sharona
But I don't get caught up, this isn't my turf
I'm not even a citizen of planet Earth
Marooned on the boondocks in timbucktoo
(What do you do?)I wait for the rescue crew
So I don't need an IV to revive me
When I think my thoughts drive me,
To the brink,
If the end is near, then send it here (together)
I'm outta sight like a sattelite
And that's alright
Chorus:
[Singing Sample] Everything's alright (x2)
[Together]If the end is near, then send it here
[Singing Sample] Everything's alright
[Andycat]
Well, as I rock beatie-beatie-beats
In the endtimes (?), breakin' it down like enzymes
To package and send rhymes
To another galaxy
As a proton, I split 'em into catastrophe
And so on
Now people wanna say it's great to be alive today
With the strives we've made
And the lives we've saved
But if you really wanna know
How much longer time'll last
Tune into your local TV simulcast
Watch the fall of the family
Natural disasters
Disease, enemies, attack to strike back
And they claim its uncontrollable
But you know that they're full of bull
So you can't be so gullable
Cuz it's like that
Mic that, Andycat
My architect pleases
When I was 12, I went to heaven for lovin' Jesus
'Cause hey, we could be done tonight
On the rapture
And that's alright
Chorus
[Both MCs trade verses]
Some try to run from the hands of time
But they get lost, and hit the land mine
Like a teenage love
You can't trust your girlfriend
Saying don't, don't, don't hurt me again
Or addiction (addiction)
You gotta watch your back
There's a junkie in the alley with a baseball bat
But as bad as that sounds
Really everything's fine
As Young Einstein, it's "so fine"(sample)
Don't try
To cheat death like the Fall Guy
'Cause we all die
Think about it.
Why?
Because there's not a bigger fish to fry
And that's no lie
Check it out
[Together] If the end is near, then send it here
[Together] If the end is near, then send it here (repeat til finish)
