Prayer for My Demo (03:34)
Urban Dance Squad • Mental Floss for the Globe
Equipped and packed with a funky jam
finished the touch, hope for the best
behind my back, uds the band
forcin' a priest to bless my cassette
dealin' with armies of unbelievers
leave us, deceive us, with rolled gold
though the bubble-'o-soap ain't bursting
who'll relieve us of the burden
my style's getting old

Hold a banner, panel of fans nod head
judge unanimous for my interpretation
ten for my manner of speech my man
I should be happy as a clam
I feel perspiration, sweat from my neck to my hands
hands shake, though I hold a mojo-rope
I know the big dome heard my jam
but his eyes are fixed on the other side of the globe
too much pressure is too much
I tap a fan's back to be my bro'
while the rhymes are bust, it's you I trust
just say a little prayer for my demo

No Kid (03:39)
Urban Dance Squad • Mental Floss for the Globe
This is all about music how to use it, they call it songs
if a rapper doesn't sing, well they call it wrong
while remington raps on, coming on strong
critics let their face grow long
face my music for once - I doubt if you can
you've been brainwashed too much as a public man

this is no kid

T.V.'s your pet - your radioset, I scan
popular music gives crapjams
you've been blinded, narrowminded
you know rap is big with the crowds - nothing's behind it
they just dance if they like it, so they clock it
don't be misled by my size when I rock it

this is no kid

Mr. top-50 biznizman talking so slick
don't like our kinda music so he gives us the pip
why a lie - rappers only flip their lip
both sides of the globe call this music hip
still knocking on doors of pop - to make discs
while big men fake it with crapoid artists
discotheques' answer ain't raps - they ask for
a quick jam, pay wannabees, a few plaster
just think you're a master with your ghettoblaster
pipedreams about gold, but big men go faster
but you've hyped the type of music that holds you in a grip
when you pay this critics give it a miss
dissin' the circuit - you say 'why, what this is !'
'cos you rock like a kid
I gotta do it right

this is no kid

Absorbing the words, it's absurd
people go with the crowd like a herd
the bits, the music, the whole words
copy the style without own effort
if they are the herd, then I must be the herdman
inventing fresh jams - firsthand
you said it was nothing, not worth a damn
too hard, too noisy, my show a five or ten
but the mediamen clap their hands
now you wonder, guess how we did the good hook
it's the guitar, dj, bass, the drummer's foot
crumb up y'all, you never get these roots

this is no kid

Big Apple (00:00)
Urban Dance Squad • Mental Floss for the Globe
mc, remember the day you were hyped ?
in europe you heard the first dose of rhyme
it shivered your spine, the music was fine, I suppose
it made you presumptious - you can't come close to a cigar -
no superstar - 'cos you copy
make a cliche what they say in usa, mc
don't believe, rub your eyes a clear vision
you're lucky in your zone, no u.s. collision
now, make that decision to cross the ocean
rap your tracks - they smack, before you have a notion
'cos all originals gotta be original
make 'm say 'european style is typical'
no bites or snatches, big apple's a temple
now make your own, you know the example

big apple, it's only example

The rhyme spectre haunts like a corrector
my hate of imitating mc's - is the factor
you see, I walk around in my hometown
visit now and then clubs underground
see them walk around blowing their mouths off
they can't hang, so why hang around son ?
not learning, no progress 'bout the past
stuck with old skool, old wax, all that jazz

big apple, it's only example

Like me when I blast you're going on drugs
like designer-drugs - you get the best bang for the buck
now let me show you the big picture
you as an outsider get a mixture
of whack rhymes, over and over
you feel dizzy, yo ! here's an artist to make you sober
with strong rhymes made for succes
sometimes I stand alone, this time with a bandact
and I guess uds is fresh
'cos we don't mess with things they do in the us

big apple, it's only example

Fast Lane (03:29)
Urban Dance Squad • Mental Floss for the Globe
Quest for the ducats and cheques
tired - of fixin' the ends together
better, better - climb the ladder
to the top, to the top, to the top
where big domes call the shots and budge
the status to super, and hold the grudge
goin' your way, the unfair play
obedience to what you say, hey
for your presence they stay, the hell away
a free doorway, things are okay
no matter what they say - that's only hearsay
they choke in the smoke, while you consume a j
stay ahead of the game, clock the dames
gain the fame, ready to tame
some feel the pain, some hail your name
ducks stay lame, while you're livin'
in the fastlane

Pedal to the metal - goin' fast, fast
ferrari-level - got the class, class
yes, cold clockin' cash 'n sex
while the mass hold hands up to catch
relax, no complaints, it's satisfaction
no red tape - 24 hour action
meet the bizniz - get the glitz
get the b., to unzip - the zips
trippin', trippin' cold egotrippin'
shattering pride - that's why they're flippin'
sippin' 40-s - how ya livin' -
value is given, while you're driven
in the fastlane

Everyday you're an excellency
breaking laws - no penalties
and if do - you supply the g-s
authorities make sure - they don't see
free from the burden of life
seek other ways to strive
with the scene - reach the untold
that you're bold - and it leaves you cold
they build up while you maul
'cos it's the dough you hold, so play
the headrole
break doors, open another store
let the green flow and pour
watch the score of dimes
same time the snow is snorted up your nose
a cigar, you're much too close
holdin' a pose, never grow old
a fast lane bro', livin'
in the fastlane
dead.

Deeper Shade of Soul (04:32)
Urban Dance Squad • Mental Floss for the Globe
Surprise, surprise ! ! so you rub your eyes
never knew uds, so cool as ice?
hear the vibes man, they'll stupify
ducks - categorise us as hardcriers
that's a lie, we know why we're occupiers
no blurs, but obscure styles, these are higher
profiles are low - as soon as we go
as a breeze straight from a deeper shade of soul

Five souls play the headrole
excite the middle between the two poles
the globe rotates from new to old
uds take both to reach the souls
narrowmind clydes, still holding a pose
what we pour 'n flow when we come close
to the contrary, they pinch their earlobes
they call it rogue-rock, but it's a deeper shade of soul

We blend everything, with the color of skin
under the skin, we're in like flynn
ducks stare at us, as soon as we begin
to innovate the frame of thought they're in
again, music's got to do with only feeling
not where you're from, it's 'can' they yield in
the stuff that we rock and what we're giving
a piece of the mind connects the rhythm

You're holding me in a musical state pen.
can't do my rock, 'cos of the color of skin
I'm whack say my black, I'm black say the white
yep, the globe is populated by clydes
and got me categorized in a box
a tom for a sum when I try to rock
but it's a piece of the role that we don't play
so free our way when d says:

let the rudeboy step outta jail

let the rudeboy
step in his own game
yeah, and call it insane
that you're narrowing my mind, my brain
to a style close to one track
we're so versatile, here's another track
for the clydes, the five make sure they'll hit
their minds, excuse the words, are full of shit
ducks oppress uds to a few laws
we treat the jacks instead a mental floss

Famous When You're Dead (00:00)
Urban Dance Squad • Mental Floss for the Globe
I got a band, we clock dough
they play the strings, I play the role
me remington, my game's no con
each member of the band a son of a gun
there's a bond between us, that we can trust
in music how to use it, each man is a boss
our aim, yeah, we entertain to gain
a place maybe in the hall of fame
if we don't reach this, the world is to blame
'cos you know how it goes, again and again.

I mean, I make a record, a single
if it sells, some money in my pocket tingles
then I make a move for a longplay record
I got talent enough to make a second
megabucks may be earned if I score
my succes comes after a year or more
depends, how many customers walk in the door
one thing is sure, I drop on the floor - dead
living in fame, little I had
but people and critics in the biz are impressed
of my death, so make an album 'the best of rudeboy's raps'
twice as much money behind my back
now that's fame too late to get
'cos you're famous when you're dead

You wanna rhyme ? yeah ? get in the line !
but remember nine to five is the job you find
for the dough we weren't told about tinseltime
but whatever I recite, you can give it a try
exceptions prove the rule when it comes to be fly
me as a rudeboy that's why I get by
a gucci watch, hey, and a fly gold chain
some sneakers to keep my feet dry from the rain
but it's a strain
what have I gained
really nothing big, I can't live in the fastlane

Suppose I make it, what does it mean ?
driving a fast car, machine-clean
goldplated, expensive dinner 'stead of beans
dizzed by the critics, praised by teens
recognition in the end, so it seems
you're plundered from your royalties by those thieves
who used to grease the skids while dizzing you deep
now they fake it, when they try to weep
like a familyscene, they all just wish it
to bury your body and they won't miss it
world is like a wife who is wicked
if she inherits, then you know her real spirit
can't have it all, only some credit
when you're history there will be a special edit
it reads: enemies are your friends in the end
yes, everybody loves you when you're dead
you're famous when you're dead

9 a.m. again, I wake up
with a cold-shower breakfast, time for pop
then I will be in the mood for some lyrical rock
so I pop in a tape in my deck, scott la rock
superstar status he never lacked
but the words of mouth were final on wax
the extravagant life came to an end
because a nine millimeter in his block went bang
now he's a hero in the musical ranks
some feel lost, some feel bad
some act like they were his best friends
now, those hypocrits really make me mad
famous when you're dead.

Brainstorm on the U.D.S. (04:03)
Urban Dance Squad • Mental Floss for the Globe
Introspection - habit of looking
inside the soul - seek the frame of thought
thought - swift like fish, gotta hook it
it disappears, can't be caught, can't be bought
combination - number of people
the five believe in style, common purpose
purpose - not to act like sheep y'all
lack personality ? - I'm gonna give you a dose
dose - flows, shows vital, like medicin
symbolised, subscribed in a rhyme
rhyme - wordskill which I'm better in
other men clichelise this time after time
time - present days of a new race
not livin' in the past - make music for the future
future - destiny on stage, on stage
I'll do this right
will be the continent's booster

brainstorm ... uds

As I vocalise, I imperialise
reason ? - plain, I can hang with the globe
globe - the earth populated by clydes
who hope, I ain't dope, and I can't cope
'co-operability' of mind, body and hands
like guitarmen play a riff
riff - popular action, not only for jazzmen
done well - a crowd can't stand stiff
stiff - the right word, check a dictionary
I like to differ and use the term lazy
lazy - state of a-lotta bands who envy
the way we gain, play the game, they call us crazy
crazy - ill in the mind, mad on the whole
scientists say - "it's the emotion that counts'
we like to be ourselves - word up to de la soul
and choose for the ultimate def sound

brainstorm ... uds

Give the gab a new vocab
I'm aware of your eyes - I treasure like it's a pleasure
treasure - valuable if your talent lacks
learn the alphabet in your sparetime leisure
leisure - period without duty
no obligations, better known as freedom
though once free to write mc's use
tools, routine to bite, oh well, I don't need them
creative flow - by your own soul, is essential
essential as a grip on a lemon, don't let loose
squeeze it to make it potential
if it powers other souls - that's what we call juice
juice - pizzaz, power, strength
ingredient to make a band smoking
smoking - play well without special effects
jacks play for cheques as a token - think I'm joking ?
joking - something to make you laugh happy
happy - mood that keeps you from feeling down
down - the opposite of being peppy
which you won't be, 'cos you hear the uds sound
