DJ JS-1 - Turn the Tables [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

To show our appreciation for your support…
Thank you DJs…

"You out there?"

[Intro: O.C.]
Unh
New LP (Yeah…)
JS-1
It is what it isn't
Turn the tables
Turn the tables on ‘em, J
Unh

[Verse 1: O.C.]
It’s left up to the DJ
If anything he play
On the wheels of steel, no replay these days
How it regards to them Technics spinnin'
Pioneers over the years rarely mentioned
Let a flare go
Let ‘em know who’s in the building
DJs are the original builders
Before Soundscan or BDS exist
Where the park jam’s dudes were their own soundman
Importance of the vinyl
Cuttin’ and scratchin’ right and exact
Maybe it skip - spin it back
The purpose of the slip mats under the wax
Provides the glide for LPs when doing a scratch
Pitch control, sped up or slowed down
A nice DJ wit’ it, manipulate the sound
Chirpin’ with his fingers like birds very early in the mornin’
[JS-1 scratches]

[pre-Chorus: OC]
Turn the tables
Don’t be merciful like Joe Fatal when flippin’ the crossfader
Shoutouts to JMJ and Roc Raida
And all the Grandmasters

[Chorus: Scratched samples by JS-1]
How it all got started, way back when
I’m like tellin’ you, straight on up
How it all got started, way back when
I’m like tellin’ you, straight on up

[Bridge: DJ Red Alert
What’s the deal everybody?
It’s the coolest, legendariest, that’s right
The Kool - the DJ, the Red Alert
We going wayyyyy back, the way it used to be
Or may I say, the way it should be?

[Verse 2: O.C.]
Anybody with a brain can use Serato
Test the skill of a true DJ is in a battle
For example, DJ Aladdin or Rob Swift
Mixmaster Ice or DJ Jazzy Jeff
Q-Bert or Cash Money
Or DJ Scratch
DJ Cheese or Cutmaster Swift
Can’t forget Tat Money
Roc Raida, doing his thing in the flesh in Beat Street Records
Rock and Soul was the best of the best when
Gemini products on display and Vestax
Jeff showed DJs how to transform
Over 33 and a third, the history’s long
Grandwizard Theodore invented the scratch up top in the Ex while doing sets
45s in this day?
If you on a Gemini 2200 that’s rare
Rane mixer be the new elixir
Make sure tone arms balance right when… [needle jumping sound]
Much love for Kool Herc
‘Cause if he wasn’t born, hip-hop wouldn’t exist at all

[pre-Chorus: OC]
Turn the tables
Don’t be merciful like Joe Fatal when flippin’ the crossfader
Shoutouts to JMJ and Roc Raida
And all the Grandmasters

[Chorus: Scratched samples by JS-1]
How it all got started, way back when
I’m like tellin’ you, straight on up
How it all got started, way back when
I’m like tellin’ you, straight on up

[Kool DJ Red Alert]
We gonna take it back to the, the architects
We gonna take it back to the turntables
That’s right, we takin’ it back to the vinyl, the wax
That’s the way it’s going down
You know why? Because this is how it should be
