"Beneath The Planet
Detroit"
As Recorded By The Empyre
Written by James McCauley
Verse 1:
(DXJ): People of the world listen up
and get hip,
(Mitch Cason): 'Cause
we're not your average rapping ego trip,
(DXJ): We're
the real party people from the Planet Detroit,
(Mitch Cason): Our
groove is deep and hard, yeah that's the joint!
Verse 2:
(DXJ): Without further adieu we won't
bore you,
(Mitch Cason): With
raps and brags that just aren't true,
(DXJ): We're
gonna kick this jam live into GO!,
(Mitch Cason):
And rap about the gadget on your radio!
Chorus:
(DXJ thru voccoder) : Beneath Detroit,
Beneath Detroit, Beneath the Planet Detroit!
Verse 3:
(DXJ): The motor city was kickin', or
so he was told,
(Mitch Cason): Until
the grooves on the wax started getting old,
(DXJ): The
people said "Gadget do you have something new?",
(Mitch Cason): And
Gadget said I was about to ask you!
(DXJ): They
said we've waited so long for the return,
(Mitch Cason): And
in the in- between all we did was burn!,
(DXJ): We
burned the stupid records that they forced us to hear,
(Mitch Cason): From
Roxanne, Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow to Trinere!
(DXJ): Old
Gadget looked puzzled and he even seemed dazed,
(Mitch Cason):
He said I thought Detroit was the
party place?
(DXJ): They
said," You know we like to party and jam all night,"
(Mitch Cason): "But
since our heroes have been gone things haven't been right!"
(DXJ):
"What
heroes are these Gadget had to ask?",
(Mitch Cason): They're
called "Planet Detroit", we sent them out on a task,
(DXJ): Well
if that's what's missing I'm sure to find them,
(Mitch Cason): "You
can bank on me", Gadget had to remind them!
Chorus:
(DXJ thru voccoder) : Beneath Detroit,
Beneath Detroit, Beneath the Planet Detroit!
Verse 3:
(DXJ): Well it didn't take Gadget very
long,
(Mitch Cason): To
figure out exactly what went wrong,
(DXJ): You
see the earth was moving as he walked the street,
(Mitch Cason):
But the funky thing was, it had a beat!
(DXJ): So
he whipped up some headphones and stuck them in the ground,
(Mitch Cason): And
what did he hear?,
(DXJ and Mitch): The
Detroit Sound!
(Mitch Cason): Mr.
Gadget tell us what's the point?!
(DXJ in an attempt to sound like
Inspector Gadget ): It's getting deep
beneath the Planet Detroit!
(Mitch and DXJ): Yeah
we're Planet Detroit and we're on your case, and like PalmerForce Two we're gonna
cause earthquakes, HUH!
(Mysterious voccoder ): What
about me?
(DXJ):
Un-human
beat box, we know you're around,
(Mitch Cason): So
take a step up center and really throw down!
(Captivating Sample Solo of
the word "Detroit")
Chorus:
(DXJ thru voccoder) : Beneath Detroit,
Beneath Detroit, Beneath the Planet Detroit!
Invisoclam goes deep

Ok, so DXJ and the crew have
taken their little act to outer space and beyond, so where else could they go?
Taken another cue from the "Planet of The Apes" movies, they decide to
take it underground! But wait there's more to it than this, as you notice from
the track, it
InvisoRating:
"Beneath the Planet Detroit " gets a rating of a
submarine by Invisoclam, since the song is so deep, or is it because there is a
possibility of the song sinking under it's own power!
