Underwater Rimes
Digital Underground Lyrics

We'd like to ask now that all passengers please hold
Prepare for an underwater hip hop experience by taking a deep breath

Their breath, as we take you through an underwater hip hop extravaganza.
The ride is about to begin, and you’ll be submerged in sound and lyrical wonderment

Now last night, underwater, I saw a French mermaid,
The MC sets the scene for his surreal underwater experience, where he had an encounter with an enchanting mermaid

Treated her to caviar and wine over shrimp brain,
He entertained the mermaid with seafood delicacies, while serenading her with his music

In the raw, on the ocean floor, need I say more?
The rendezvous took place in the depths of the ocean, where the scenery was naturally raw and beautiful

You never heard nobody kick it like this before,
The MC boasts of being unique and inimitable in his style

Pink champagne, octopus brains,
The singer describes his underwater soiree menu, which included exotic items such as pink champagne and octopus brains

Saw your DJ underwater through the window pane.
He glimpses the DJ via a submerged windowpane

That sucker tried to hit a mix, but the mix didn't happen,
The DJ tried to spin some tracks, but his equipment malfunctions underwater

Records kept floatin' all the fish kept laughin'
The aquatic inhabitants were amused by the DJ’s futile efforts, while vinyl records floated away

A blowfish blew my mind and started to rhyme,
A blowfish stuns the singer with an unexpected rap performance

As the octopus cut nine records at a time.
Meanwhile, an octopus multitasks and skillfully produces nine records simultaneously

Your boy said, 'Show me how to keep my records down,'
The singer’s friend requests advice on how to stop his records from floating away

But the shark ate his amp, your boy got clowned.
A shark appears and chomps his friend’s amplifier, ruining his chances of performing underwater

The rhymes he say have no particular order
The singer’s raps have no logical sequence or pattern

Un-derwater, Un-der-derwater,
The artist emphasizes that the entire experience is underwater

Go 'head bite his rhymes if you think that you oughtta
He dares anyone to try and steal his rhymes

Hold your breath, MC's, my rhyme's underwater.
He urges his fellow MCs to be ready for his titillating and aquatically inspired rhymes

I tried to mix a cut from a TV blooper,
The singer attempts to fuse a TV blooper into his track

Got pulled by a deep sea state trooper,
He gets reprimanded by an underwater law enforcement officer

Told me that I didn't have the right to bite,
The trooper warns him against sampling without permission

I said, 'Your wife looks just like a fat blue grouper.'
The artist insults the trooper's wife by comparing her to an unflattering fish

Sittin' in my aqua-blue jail cell, didn't have my bail,
He ends up in an underwater prison cell, unable to pay bail

I had to break out with the rhyme,
He vows to escape with his lyrical prowess

Shrimp scatter on a platter, I rock like a mobster,
He mesmerizes other inmates with his shrimp-inspired rhymes and boasting

Told an MC, 'Yo, you look like a lobster,'
He insults a fellow inmate by comparing him to a lobster

Qualified to wreck your mind, I get busy one time,
The singer claims to be highly skilled in wowing his audience and getting busy with his rhymes

Like fish on a dish, you get served with the rhyme.
He compares his rhymes to a dish of freshly served fish, ready to be savored

...if you need a fo' instance,
He invites the audience to witness his rap skills firsthand

Watch the people stop, they don't want to miss this.
He promises to be unforgettable and entertaining, ensuring no one wants to miss his show

I'm tweakin' your speakers, and I'm makin' no sense,
He admits to messing with the listener's sound system and being nonsensical

'Cause on your turns, this record burns like incense.
He warns that his record is so hot it’ll smoke like incense on their turntable

Uh, 1, 2, 1, 2, Yo, this is MC Blowfish,
MC Blowfish introduces himself

And we're gonna do a little something like this:
He previews his upcoming performance

Well I'm a deep sea gangster, underwater prankster,
The MC claims to be a gangster and prankster in his underwater domain

Kissin' all the girl fish, dissin' all the ...
He boasts of his love life and knack for dissing others

Because I blew your mind and started to rhyme,
He brags about his ability to amaze and entertain the crowd with his rhymes

Doesn't mean that I'm cool, 'cause you'll be back next time,
He cautions others not to be so easily impressed and not to expect too much

With a hook and a line, so you can hear that fryin' sound,
He warns of the danger of fishermen and their hooks, which might cause fish to fry

I'm tellin' you I'm down,
He reassures the audience that he is legit

I'll spin your boat around, leave suckers lost in the bay.
He claims his power and intent to wreak havoc on boats and those aboard

You want to play? I'll hook your line to a stingray.
He dares others to challenge him, promising to strike back by attaching their line to a venomous stingray

Get out of here with that boat and a stick,
He challenges anyone with rudimentary equipment to leave

Get out of line, I'll call my homey Moby Dick.
He threatens anyone who crosses him with the assistance of his friend, Moby Dick

I'm not thinkin' 'bout dyin', fool, stop tryin' to test me,
He says he isn't afraid of the risks and warns others not to provoke him

People fishin' don't catch me.
He jokes that fishermen are no match for him, implying he is too smart to be caught

And when you get home, sad 'cause you missed,
He acknowledges that those who miss his show will regret it

Just remember MC Blowfish
He reminds the audience of his name

Keep on, you don't stop.
He ends the song with encouragement to keep going and never stop

Uh oh, here comes that stupid shark again, I guess I better blow up
He notes that the antagonistic shark has returned and hints of having a plan to deal with him
