No Kid
Urban Dance Squad Lyrics

This is all about music how to use it, they call it songs
The song is about the art of music and how it is used to create something called 'songs'

If a rapper doesn't sing, well they call it wrong
People criticize rappers who don't sing, even though it is not fair to do so

While Remington raps on, coming on strong
Remington (a rapper) continues to perform confidently

Critics let their face grow long
The critics show disapproval or disappointment on their face

Face my music for once I doubt if you can
The critics should listen to the music and face the challenge of understanding it

You've been brainwashed too much as a public man
The public is unable to form their own opinions because they have been brainwashed by others' viewpoints

This is no kid
The song is serious and not to be underestimated

T.v.'s your pet your radio set, I scan
People rely heavily on TV and radio for entertainment and information

Popular music gives crap jams, you've been blinded, narrow minded
Mainstream music produces bad songs and people refuse to see beyond it

You know rap is big with the crowds nothing's behind it
Rap music is popular, but there may not be anything meaningful behind it

They just dance if they like it, so they clock it
People dance to music that they like, without really considering its message

Don't be misled by my size when I rock it
The performer is small, but still capable of putting on an excellent show

Mr. Top-50 Biznizman talking so slick
A powerful music executive speaks confidently and smoothly

Don't like our kinda music so he gives us the pip
The executive dislikes the type of music that the performer makes

Why a lie rappers only flip their lip
Rappers lie and only produce music with no substance

Both sides of the globe call this music hip
Rap music is popular all over the world

Still knocking on doors of pop to make discs
The performer is trying to break into the pop music scene

While big men fake it with crapoid artists
Big music executives create fake, low-quality music with untalented artists

Discotheques' answer ain't raps they ask for
Nightclubs are not interested in rap music

A quick jam, pay wannabees, a few plaster
Nightclubs prefer short, generic songs from amateur artists, with low pay

Just think you're a master with your ghetto blaster
People think they are knowledgeable about music because they own a music player

Pipedreams about gold, but big men go faster
People dream of making a lot of money from their music, but the big music executives get rich faster

But you've hyped the type of music that holds you in a grip
People become obsessed with the type of music that they listen to

When you pay this critics give it a miss
When people pay for music, critics ignore it

Dissin' the circuit, you say 'Why, what this is!'
The performer criticizes the music industry and challenges them to explain their actions

'Cause you rock like a kid, I gotta do it right
The performer has a responsibility to create mature, high-quality music

Absorbing the words, it's absurd
People mindlessly absorb the words in music without truly understanding their meaning

People go with the crowd like a herd
People follow others without thinking for themselves

The bits, the music, the whole words
All aspects of a song (melody, lyrics, etc.) are important to consider

Copy the style without own effort
People copy the style of music without any creativity or effort of their own

If they are the herd, then I must be the herd man
If people are mindlessly following others, then the performer has a responsibility to lead them in a positive direction

Inventing fresh jams firsthand
The performer creates original, innovative music

You said it was nothing, not worth a damn
Critics dismissed the performer's music as bad

Too hard, too noisy, my show a five or ten
The performer's music is hard to understand and too loud for some people's taste

But the media men clap their hands
Despite negative feedback from critics, the media shows appreciation for the performer's work

Now you wonder, guess how we did the good hook
The audience is intrigued by how the performer created a catchy song

It's the guitar, DJ, bass, the drummer's foot
The combination of musical instruments and beats that create an excellent song

Crumb up y'all, you never get these roots
The performer challenges the audience to understand the roots of the music they listen to
