VERSE ONE Check it, I’m from a place called Jazz does that sound insane? I’ve got that head nodding shit that leaves your neck in pain So don’t bring it unless you can withstand my streets And don’t sing it unless you come correct with the beats They say you live by the sword then you die by the sword I live by the beat and the bass and the chord So I’ll die by the beat and the bass and the chord On stage with an audience who love to applaud Yo I’m trying to make cheese the first rapper out here on five LP’s But still they won’t give me covers on these damn magazines They’re hating the D When all I’m trying to do is be the best I can be People ask me why I rap in an American voice? Like I’ve got to do it your way and I have no choice Further more do you question Glamma on his Jamaican grammar? No you don’t you just accept it to be Ragga So accept this to be hip-hop my man Moto sa wa ge to my peoples in Japan 5 years crack snares bring it to your ears If vinyl was for renting only you’d be in arrears Yo because you’d never want to bring this back Practicing your rhyme flow on this DL track The most consistent artist in the UK or is he? Turntables hate me because I keep them so busy
CHORUS X2 TURNTABLES HATE ME BECAUSE I KEEP THEM SO BUSY RECORD AFTER RECORD YO THE PEOPLE SAY WHO IS HE? F-F-F-FUNKY WHO IS HE? F-FUNKY DL FUNKY, FUNKY, FUNKY, FUNKY
CHANT X4 TURNTABLES HATE ME BECAUSE I KEEP THEM SO BUSY
VERSE TWO I’ve got that Heartfelt Integrity, When Love Is Breaking Down Classic Was The Day, One Another type sound Now it’s Blackcurrent Jazz, people hating because I kept my foot on the gas And steamed right pass yo I’ve got the stamina, flash like a camera NS10’s Yamaha, Classic like a Tamala Motown recording who did the programming ha? Sounding real Funky I’m the Funky examiner DL the name you can’t forget to remember Scorpio stinging because I’m born in November Wait for green lights but I move on the amber Cut a beat down make your crew shout “timber” I know you thought I wouldn’t be much Now musically I can’t be touched because I’m so top notch Hopscotch and I always go Dutch Like Starsky and Hutch and such and such and such I’m like a game of chess the only thing Is I don’t need to move and I guess I still win Rugged like the ruggedest crew Rugged like a big kick drum with low mid EQ Have you ever heard of Washington Classics? Drop mad plastic filled with rap tactics As my records spin you get real dizzy Turntables hate me because I keep them so busy
CHORUS X2
CHANT X4 TURNTABLES HATE ME BECAUSE I KEEP THEM SO BUSY
