superappin'
grandmaster flash and the furious five
the highs were screaming and the bass was shaking
and it won't be long till everybody knows when that
flash was on the beat box going that
flash was on the beat box going that
flash was on the beat box going
disc jockeys to all the fly kids and the young ladies
introducing the crew ya got to see to believe
i'm melle mel and i rock it so well
and i'm mr. ness because i rocks the best
i'm rahiem in all the ladies' dreams
and i'm cowboy to make ya jump for joy
the kid creole playing the role
we're the furious five plus grandmaster flash
giving you a blast and sure enough class
so to prove to ya all that we're second to none
we're gonna make five mcs sound like one
clean out your ears then open your eyes
and then pay at the door as a donation
to hear the best sounds in creation
he's a disco dream of a mean machine
and when it comes to size
ya see his name is not found in the hall of fame but he'll shock
and amaze ya and make ya feel shame
he takes a lime from a lemon
and from a lemon to a lime
he cuts the beat in half the time
and as sure is 3 times 2 is 6
you'll say flash is the king of the quick mix
we're five mc's and we're on our own
and we're the most well known on the microphone
and we throw down hard and we aim to please
with finesse to impress all the young ladies
we got rhymes galore and that's a fact
and if the satisfaction's guaranteed to cause a heart attack
we are the best as you can see
so eliminate the possibility
is not a threat to society
i know the fly young lady would like to ride
if my mercedes breakdown and dull my grill
i will drive up in a new seville
i will dull my grill in a new cadillac
if my cadillac break down
i will shock your mind in a new star stutz
and if a stutz break down
i will dull my grill in a new rolls royce
and if a royce break down
don't stop rockin' to the rhythm
ladies who don't know my name
and you fellas who don't know my game
yes i'm called the prnce of soul
but others call me the kid creole
when i'm on the mike and i rock the house right
rockin to the rhythm while i'm playing the role
it takes a sucker's man to try to jump my hand
and the things i do and what i say
affect a lot of people in the strangest way
makes them clap their hands and say 'all right'
creole to the broad daylight
because the furious five are gonna turn it out
it's true that we gotta fuss
because it can't be the best unless it came from us
there's five of us and we take no stuff
we coming through the city
we number one ain't nothin' you can do
and if you wanna get down we'll rock you too
come on and let me see 'a rock rock
they say you're from the bronx
so why don't you rock the beat and add a little spunk
why the man so bad that ya deny
you better watch your woman cause i'll tell you why
know as the man of romance to make you dance
can any of you ladies stand a chance?
i'm cowboy and i'm shockin the house
don't stop that body rock
because melle mel is starting here to rap
ever since the time at my very first party
i felt i could make myself somebody
it was something in my heart from the very start
i could see myself at the top of the chart
with a jockey spinnin for me called dj flash
signing autographs for the the young and old
wearing big time silver and solid gold
my name on the radio and in the magazine
my picture on the tv screen
i got potential and you will agree
i'm coming up and i got a step above the rest
cause i'm using the ladder they call success
rap like hell and make it sound like heaven
a 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 come on rahiem come and get some
i know i'm in all the ladies' dreams
i'm the r-a-h and the i-e-m
i put a wiggle in your butt if a tell me when
i'm a son of a gun with a hell of a fire
got to mess around and take ya all higher
my clientele climb the great big boost
i'm the give it up and turn it loose
all you fly girls that don't know my game
come up and talk to me and we'll tell you all the same
when ya wake up in the night in a hell of a dream
you know ya been possessed by the voice of rahiem
in all the ladies' dreams
and makin' more currency than any mc
and if the dream will turn to reality
and melle mel'll be makin' money
take your time and you will agree
that black door got good security
so when you walk through the door
be sure to be on your best behavior
when the party is through
and a lady wanna go home with you
that you don't have enough for cab fare
so you say to yourself what a mistake you made
your heart start pumpin' right on kool-aid
when she walks to you and starts to say
'call one-double-o' get down with o.j
and you pave the way. young ladies a lot
