Echo Scratch

(album: Back In Black - 1986)

(Serve you your way)
(Serve you your way)

From the people's republic of turntable town
Where instead of having battles we have showdowns
Where everybody's put into the spotlight
[?] if they'd like
So get on up, don't be shy
Listen to us rhyme as time goes by
Everybody stand back and brace yourself
While I pull a book of rhymes off a rhyming shelf
From A-B-C, we're X, 'Lil, and Dee
Master Dee is the cook and we're the MC
But like the waiters in your favorite restaurant
We're gonna serve you anything you want
We got a menu just as thick as any book
And if it's not on the menu, we'll ask the cook
Because special orders don't upset us
If you want it done special, why don't you let us?

(Serve you your way)
(Serve you your way)

Now I think it's only fair that I warn you
If you stay here tonight I'll be all up on you
And if you try to leave, I'll ask you to stay
'Cause baby if you stay I'll serve you your way
'Cause champagne's what you want, don't give it a thought
Just relax for awhile, let me pop the cork
If you like it a lot, let's make it a double
That's Dom Perignon, it's supposed to bubble
As the champagne works and relaxes your fear
I'll make you feel what you've been faking, all these years
This is a brand new time, a brand new day
It's about time you got served your way
'Cause if I serve you my way, I turn you on
But if I serve you your way, I can't go wrong
Although my way's the way and your way's OK
If you want to play your way
Then I'll serve you down, to the ground
I'll toss you up in the air and spin you around
And if you wanna know what's that in the back
That's what we call the echo scratch
Dee goes [?]
And that's what we call the echo scratch

(Serve you your way)
(Serve you your way)

We [?] when we give you the word
We really don't care who's second or third
In the way we speak because we play for keeps
All that we learn, we're willing to teach
To everybody, so gather around
'Cause the ones with the good stuff's back in town
We've asked those questions and learned the lesson
So we're telling you for your own protection
We put our special talents together
Now we're a team wearing [?] and leather
With platinum records, yeah we're well-respected
But there's one trick Master Dee has perfected
[?] up and down your back
Scratching to the bone while I'm on the microphone
Prepare yourself...we're introducing the echo scratch
That's what we call the echo scratch
Dee goes [?]
And that's what we call the echo scratch
