lyrics

"Under The Radar"

I was a fiend, before I became a teen,
Beat Street between episode of The A-Team/
Painter caps, a batter's glove on my hand with,
Zipper parachute pants & Dad's old pair of Stan Smiths/
Spinning on linoleum, spinning on the cardboard,
Spinning on the grass cus I was just that hardcore/
Totally in love and obsessed with the art form,
Dreaming of success as I'm touring on a barnstorm/
Lip syncing in the mirror with a hair brush,
Forget where I was until the toilet there flushed/
"P.S.K. We're making that green",
People still asking what the fuck does that mean?/
P is for the pre-teen me that be thinking,
Of ripping up microphones and contract inking/
"S for the way you scream and shout"
K for the way that I knock you out/
Dads turntable wrecking vinyl with the cutting,
Spitting bullshit but wasn't really saying nothing/
Rocking over riffs from my man Craig Beattie,
Garage, Boombox, spray cans and graffiti/
Herby Hancock, Grandmaster Flash,
See me body rock, and hand spin so fast/
The treacherous three, Africa Bambatta,
Spinning on my knee then transition to the crab walk/
Moon walk, robot, pop lock, so hot,
Hip hop, dope spot, tick tock, don't stop/
By grade 6 everybody was breakin',
Grade 7 eliminated everyone who was faking/
By grade 8 I was one of the few pale faced,
White boys watching rap grow beyond a Snail's pace/
Blowing up but still under the radar,
30 years later still dear to my grey heart/
