Ugly Duckling - Elevator Music lyrics

[Andy Cooper] The baddest emcee (who's that) not me I'm Technicolor on a black and white TV And by the by, a motherlovin son who knows one day That all of the tears wept will be swept away So before the giant comes to from the slumber Dig a last ditch effort to vacate the tundra Dust off your ears, jump off of your best leg Out of the catacomb into the nest egg Now let me get my 15 minutes of fame And I'll be as straight as Gibraltar He said he'd make a funky beat and be as sweet as Walter Payton hatin long drives to 9 to 5's Man, he wanted high fives when the crowds arrive So he frequents in sequins doin the neutron dance Actin all jiggy for the cash advance I hung a buffalo stance, crossed the Red Sea And said don't you get fresh with me Because if freshness was a dinner with all of the dressings We'd be gluttons pushing bu*tons in the kitchen with the Jetsons Dizzy Dustin, Andy, Einstein's the third man Elevators going up like Junior Birdman I'm movin up, movin on up I'm movin up, movin on up I'm movin up, movin on up I'm movin up, movin on up, come on [Dizzy Dustin] I put the key in the ignition and enter the pole position To outrun the competition on this expedition To the Crystal Castle, I can't stay put A millipede wants to feed on the back of my foot Kept my eyes straight ahead and dodged the roadblocks Dips and oil slicks, wet spots and falling rocks Who wants to see themselves and their friends Grow to be old men, pondering what could have been Break away the ties that hold me from the skies And tell the hippy with the sticky not to skip me You can try to pry the doors when stuck between floors Or call the foreman, but he's barnstorming So I slide a token down the slot and press player one To be the slayer in the dragon's lair tappin my thumbs Against the bu*tons joystick in hand to command the missiles Top score once more I enter my initials Eyein a lion without becoming his lunch Isn't easy in a pitfall on a jungle hunt I set out to get out but cement shoes lack traction So this time I'll climb with some elevator action I'm movin up, movin on up I'm movin up, Einstein, what you doing? "Breaking people up." Where you going? "Up to the top floor." - - ] Slick Rick [Andy Cooper] Steppin to the edge of the platform to plunge Down into the think tank, the opening is narrow As I'm hovering above the covering I start to fall And feel the stomach bu*terflys rise out of my bone marrow You can label me with chewing gum envy Cause I wish I could be care free to emcee For a beatnik to a neatnik and anyone in between And anyone that's beyond and anyone that's been conned (Strung along) By the charismatic addict, the man on the stage Giving power displays to astound and amaze You'd better follow our ways, cause we've got the solution But you're gonna have to pay, make a contribution The Azraels and Gargamels may feel the need To hurt the little people in order to feed greed And, hey, they may laugh now, but later They'll be sorry they didn't ride the elevator I'm movin up, movin on up I'm movin up, movin on up I'm movin up, movin on up I'm movin up, movin on up Well, we lost our jobs What we're gonna do now? I don't know, we should start that rap group we've been talking about You still making beats, Einstein? Eh, it's a hobby Well, look who we be called, we could be like "The Fresh Three" Or something like that I don't know, what about, "Ugly Duckling?" "Ugly Duckling" Hmmm... "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.." Now, we gotta practice, we gotta get together You can practice at my house...
