Einstein's Takin' Off

When young Einstein was a kid with a bib
He had some 1200’s inside his crib
And an MPC, under his sheets
To make beats, accomplishing incredible feats
While other kids played games like Chinese checkers
Rod pounded the pavement to find these records we use
He makes hits with the flick of the wrist
Einstein’s takin off, let me put it like this
There's not a Benadryl pill that could stop the itch
For a scratch when my DJ gets up in the mix
He grips the cross fader with his nimble fingertips
And flips it back and forth, no transform switch
And the needle never skips
Well it did one time, when a fan got hype
And bumped the tables from behind
So please give me some room when I'm going for mine
Einstein's takin off
Take off Einstein

[Chorus]
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again
Young Einstein, don't try to play me
I like to make funky beats and record 'em
The scratch, th-th-the scratch
Used to be on top, so long
Young Einstein, don't try to play me
I like to make funky beats and record 'em
The scratch, th-th-the scratch
I got two great partners standing by me

Take the freeway from Canada to TJ
And I know that you won't find another DJ
(Slash) super record digger (slash) drum major
(Slash) producer (slash) Ugly Duckling makin a splash
He lifts loops from the original LP
Would never think of sampling a beat break CD
And when we come to do your show, turn off the DAT
Save it for those other acts, Einstein's got the wax
For the turntables, he'll reverse it, scratch it
Cut it in half… and reattach it
And keep it spinning from the beginning through the duration
When Young Einstein is in (deep concentration)
Yo Diz (what’s up man) we almost didn’t tell ‘em
How Rod explores record stores like he was Magellan
Searching for the beats only he can find
Einstein's takin off, take off Einstein
