Comeback
Urban Dance Squad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wanna comeback, back with sum 'n old track
fakin' 'n takin' brouhaha with some old facts
who the jack you think you are, pop demand
blue suede shoes bin 'round tha bend 'n dome
through mainstream, pop, airwave, stratosphere
hemisphere, universe, galaxy, so what do you want "g"
oh you fiendin' for tha fees 'n tha mega g's
hey, why don't you say so instead of play so
boogie for meso, breakin' yo face yo
on screen you fiend, an eternal promo
pose go for money, what about tha honey
twice tha age and nice, ain't that funny
callin' me sunny, my nose don't bear snot
look what I got, handkerchief to stop
for tha wiggle 'n giggle, as a big old appears

pepsi c**e, c**e pepsi
all fake it for tha industry
status old, fossil joke
can't hide your face
behind tha smoke

what a drag to see an old bag
keep sweatin' 'n fakin'
for a comeback

With feel I'm neil, a flip my tongue like young
rhyme time for you, oldtimer get stung
by a kid, so strong, than you ever be
short circuit, some jerk it with peavey
rather take lesley, suits me fine
take a challenge
to renew with oldtimers time
throw my voice with poise in of course
no endorsement, it's all meant to get this in mind

Ain't all flak, to those who comeback
some slam no glam, peace to those cracks
b.b. king, some kings can still be
a fresh breeze to please, bend down knees
hallelujah, blessings to ya
music and b****, comin' through ya




through a decade of boredom pop
where the young play old, old refuse to drop.

Overall Meaning

The song "Comeback" by Urban Dance Squad is a commentary on the cyclical nature of the music industry and the pressure for artists to reinvent themselves and make comebacks. The lyrics mock artists who try to revive their careers by returning with old tracks and promoting themselves through phony PR tactics. The chorus sarcastically references the ubiquitous promotional campaigns for cola and ends with the line "Can't hide your face behind the smoke," suggesting that the façade of the music industry cannot conceal the true motives of those seeking a comeback.


The verses contrast the desire for financial gain and fame with the artistry and authenticity of music. The references to Elvis's blue suede shoes and B.B. King's enduring talent imply that some artists, despite their success, maintain their integrity and artistic value. The singer's rhymes and boasts come across as a challenge to the "oldtimers," noting that he can flip his tongue "like young" and suggesting that new artists can bring a fresh perspective to the industry.


Overall, "Comeback" highlights the tension between the commercial aspects of music-making and the pursuit of artistic expression. The song critiques the superficiality and gimmicks used to promote artists while celebrating those who maintain their artistic integrity.
