Lyrics

(Scratch - Commodores, Rapid Fire) Intro - Speed is what you need if finesse is what you want to possess, of a rap about the best - Flash, the answer to the ladies request Girls love the way he spins, DJ's try to be like him (Chorus) Now here's a little story That I want you to know Back in '75 - Uh or '74 You hanging out in the streets playing silly games Hitching on the bus Writing on the trains Were no cooler now than we were then That's when the DJ craze began Here's a fact that is simple and plain There was one - Grand Master Flash was his name There was Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc But Grand Master Flash was all you heard Given the name, he earned his reputation Sacrificed the beat For crowd sensation He so fast with the tables It's widely known In any party situation He can hold his own Hands so fast got so much class Makes all the other DJ's a thing of the past Now you heard the rap And you know the score Flash show them what your famous for (Scratch - Release Yourself - Fantastic Aleems) Chorus Well right about now I'm gonna let you know The man on the turntables Is ready to go The wheels of steel are like his slave The unusual way he makes them behave And Flash is rocking em - Oh yes sir Hands moving so fast all you see is a blur Grand Master Flash I hear them call He can scratch slice dice any record at all He uses his hands and feet All at a different time He's the phonograph king does the mix so fine Cutting with the holy ghost in his soul His music is loved by the young and old Immortal in all his escapades The nominated creator of the slide fade Now if you wanna hear Flash scratch for you Somebody say I do, I do, I do – Well here's Flash scratching for you (Scratch- Flash, The Real Thing) (Scratch - EWF, Brazilian Rhyme) (Scratch - Eddie Murphy, The Barbeque) (Scratch - Iko Iko)
