Ugly Duckling - Left Behind lyrics
[Ugly Duckling - Left Behind lyrics]
You better hurry up or get left behind
Like your hairy derriere where
The sun don't shine
Tom Slick on the track but
The streets are mine
And thanks to Einstein I got beats to rhyme
Designed like a porcupine, untouchable
I'm a four-course meal, you're a Lunchable
This beat will self-destruct in five, four
Diz, hold up! Goin off like a cuckoo clock
I was kickin' with the beat
'til my shoe flew off
As I rock with better timing than a metronome
To set the tone, looking for respect, alone
On the throne putting in
Work like Solomon Burke
To take over the world like an Ottoman Turk
Butterball's unlikely to rock shows nightly
To wow and excite
Then I'm out like Spike Lee
I run through your city like a bullet train
And blow the roof off like a hurricane
I'm sick so sick I got my own disease
The doc said I had a case of flow with ease
In a hundred degrees
I blow my nose and sneeze
I'm so cold they call me cool breeze
You're going downhill like an avalanche
And you're full of more bull
Than a cattle ranch
Yup, you the cat who said
That we were through
Too old school, need to do somethin new
You're slippin like I threw out a banana peel
On the ground or you can kneel
To the man of steel
As I speed through the sky
With the bird's eye view
And you must be high like a nerd's IQ
Do ya homework, press rewind
You better go back before you get left behind
Left behind, you get left behind
Left behind
You better hurry up and get left behind
I spit quick like a lizard's lick
And slick as if I was the Grandwizard Rick
A hit with the fans, me and Diz Mark man
To split command
Cause panic like a shark's fin
When the beat starts, stop beatin hearts
Teeth extremely sharp
Comin at your meaty parts
Makin a mess out of discotheques
The crowd crazed like I got Gizmo wet
I dibbled and dabbled on roads less traveled
I kicked up dust and kicked up gravel
No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn as well as Seattle
Young Einstein with the funky piano
And I'm on the mic like Mick Jagger's lips
Cause UD's all that and a bag of chips
You can't get with this like
You might slip a disc
Better take it as a warning
Like I slit my wrists
Like Heavy D, Steady B, rappin is my pedigree
People lookin dead at me, rhymes roll readily
I hold it down like a paperweight
To make 'em happy like I baked a cake
See I can take a break and mold it to shape
Cause when I'm rippin and my
Word is like an iceberg
Here's the tip of it
A little message, I hope we enthuse
So you move like a fetus
In the fallopian tube
I'm full strength like a cyclops eyedrops
I got support like high tops
I keep the mic hot 'til
You turn the lights off
Then I'm nocturnal like a nighthawk (CAW')
Swoop down when I search for prey
You better run and hide from the words I say
I keep it tighter than cornrows
And I'mma stop rappin when the horn blows
Left behind, you get left behind
Left behind
You better hurry up and get left behind
Left behind, you get left behind
Left behind
You better hurry up and get left behind
Like your hairy derriere where
The sun don't shine
Tom Slick on the track but
The streets are mine
And thanks to Einstein I got beats to rhyme
Designed like a porcupine, untouchable
I'm a four-course meal, you're a Lunchable
