Diesel Power
The Prodigy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo! I used to check out lyrics and pump the format
Build with skill with technique, computer A-DAT
My lyrical form is clouds on your brainstorm
I get hyped think thought flow, acrobat, sink the track, pump the track
Transmissions, close like spores react, past strong visions
And hurrying more reflects on the dance floor
Blowing up and having mad people showing up
Packing crowds jam packed venues
Needles collapse, while atmosphere continues
To sprinkle that,
Winnin' like that, movin' like that, hittin' like that
The melody is phat
Yo, I'm on the energy source
The cosmic boss
With Prodigy
Given astrology
My intellect's devour
With Diesel Power
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fanta..
We spin back rewind. Diesel Power
Blows your mind drastically, fantasically
It has to be, automatically
Check it out. You better work it out
Change to another bout
My techniques, strategies, abilities.
Will leave cordless mics hanging like spring leads
Do a track so fast. Beyond from you and I
Lyrical tactics, vocal gymnastics
Ease and pepped up
You get swept up
Smacked up, backed up, your crew's all cracked up
Check it slow
Pick choose quick
You can't stick
My medical range is strange as angles
You get tangled. Twist inside a fraction
Channels repeat, complete. Can't compete
Check the hour texture
Mind adventure
Exploit the point
Into tracks to devour
My intellectual proceed
With diesel power
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fanta...
Back attack the wack
Pack the fax to me
You don't want none
High quality action, b, still standing
Damaging your other manner
Quick reverse
Potent as the first verse
My amplifier blows on your world's higher
World's sire
Cuts like a barbed wire
Record play
I pull up on you every day
Fast forward
I move and I swing torward
Exit load
Put your brain in right mode
Selective mix
The man will perfect the fix, heads lightly, bite me
Copy Xereos. Cops' sandblocks
You can't knocks them out there
I'll keep lifting, shifting, persistant
Intelligent kingpin
Given astrology
As I roll with Prodigy
With Diesel Power
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fanta...
Mono 706

Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically




Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
