Lyrics
(What a willing sound)
When young Einstein was a kid with a bid
He had some 1200s inside his crib
And a MPC, under his sheets
To make beats, accomplishin' incredible feats
While other kids played games like Chinese Checkers
Rod pounded the pavement to find these records we used
He makes hits with the flick of a wrist
Einstein's takin' off
Let me put it like this
There's not a Benadryl pill that could stop the itch
Or a scratch when my DJ gets up in the mix
He grips the cross fader with his nimble fingertips
And flips it back and forth, no transform switch
And the needle never skips?
Well it did one time
When a fan got hype and bumped the tables from behind
So please give me some room when I'm goin' for mine
Einstein's takin' off
Take off Einstein
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again
Young Einstein
Don't try to play me
I like to make funky beats and record 'em
The scratch, the-the, the scratch
Leave the beat on top, so long
Young Einstein
Don't try to play me
I like to make funky beats and record 'em
The scratch, the scratch
I got two great partners standin' by me
Take the freeway from Canada to TJ
And I know that you won't find another DJ

Ugly Duckling makin' a splash
He lifts loops from the original LP
Would never think of samplin' a beat break CD
And when we come to do the show, turn off the DAT
Save 'em for those other acts
Einstein's got the wax for the turntables
He'll reverse it, scratch it
Cut it in half
And reattach it
And keep it spinnin' from the beginnin' through the duration
When (Young Einstein)
Is in (Deep concentration)
Ayo, Diz
What's up man?
We almost didn't tell 'em how Rod explores record stores like he was Magellan
Searchin' for the beats only he can find
Einstein's takin' off
Take off Einstein
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again
Einstein's takin' off
When it gets to the end, tell him
Do it again
Young Einstein
Don't try to play me
I like to make funky beats and record 'em
The scratch, the-the, the scratch
We'll be on top, so long
Young Einstein
Don't try to play me
I like to make funky beats and record 'em
The scratch, the-the, the scratch
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again
