From Grand Daddy I.U.'s first album "Smooth Assassin" (1990) - lyrics: [VERSE 1] All aboard let's take a ride Through the tunnels of thought and Daddy U's the guide So fasten your seat belt prepare for take off Everything becomes a blur as we break north Explorin innovative concepts the brain makes And motivate don't be late cause the train takes Flight at midnight. through the course I just might By pass the speed of light so hold tight And watch the closin doors, the train is now boardin Next stop: the record shop, cause this is a recordin [VERSE 2] Thinkin of a rhyme, lookin for somethin new Somethin kinda pumpin the people can swing to Mellow and slow with a flow so swift You know this is a gift only the U can come up with But somethin is wrong, can't get my thoughts straight Too many distractions, can't concentrate I need peace, so I step for self To the lab and grab a pen and pad off the shelf Dig deep into the back of my brain and close my eyes Drift off deep in a sleep, then I visualize A mic in my hand on stage at a night club Then - the brain lights up like a light bulb Then ideas start to flow, sharp as a dart, you know Next scene: the U tears apart the show Now the rhyme is complete Clever as ever, now all I need is a dope beat I dig into the crates of breaks from back in the days ---From Isaac Hayes on down to the O'Jays But never the same sound, not puttin names down But rappers tend to use too many samples from James Brown So I scoop a bassline from a old group Then take it to the studio and make it a loop But still it's bare without a kick and a snare So put it in there - ah yeah I'm on the verge, bout to get hype soon Time to release, so I fleece to the mic room And as I lay the vocal tracks down You're spell-bound, amazed at how dope it sound Put Kay on the set to add a cut and a scratch to match Doc on the boards, and all the samples attached Then add the final touch and make sure it's raw, then The record is pressed and blessed and yes, this is a recordin [VERSE 2] Pull up a chair, kick back and relax Open your ear and listen to the voice on wax The music heard is smooth and mellow, satisfyin your mind The rapper don't stands alone, so it's easy to find And you begin to slay your foes, that's the way it goes Close your eyes, say a rhyme and pray it flows Nice and easy, the way it's supposed to be Still your chances of ever comin close to me Highly unlikely to fight me might be slightly Suicidal, so don't try to ignite me Cause I don't burn, U is not sparkable Lyrics I drop and concoct are remarkable As I proceed satisfaction is guaranteed The U'll do it to a slow speed indeed But still can't a brother pass, I get rid of others fast Don't get me hype or I might kick your mother's ass Cause Daddy U is cold ruthless, I leave you juiceless Now all excuses are useless So save all the talk cause I ain't listenin, homes You keep yappin and I'ma start slappin domes For those who brains froze and couldn't comprehend Lift up the needle and play it again This is a recording
