Intro



Hey, boy!



Verse 1



Once upon a time a DJ's task

Was just to play records, what more could you ask?

But then came remixes, scratching and cuts

Which was too much for many, drove some DJ's nuts

But the DJ named Glove has reigned supreme

As the turntable wizard of the hip-hop scene

So listen to him, check him out, but remember this

When The Glove's on the wheels of steel he's Reckless



Verse 2



This high-powered music is truly unique

As The Glove cuts the rhythm to the hip-hop beat

He moves like a madman as he spins his disc

He's the number one scratcher on the DJ list, he's Reckless



Verse 3



Now I've seen DJ's, too many to name

Some gained recognition and even fame

But when you talk of MC's, Ice-T is the best

And when you talk of DJ's, forget the rest, Glove's Reckless



Verse 4



So listen very closely as The Glove throws down

He cuts like a razor to the big beat sound

Dave's layin' down a groove that we know you'll like

With The Glove on the turntables and Ice-T on the mic, we're Reckless



Verse 5



So listen to the music, let your mind feel free

Realize you're with the master G-L-O-V-E

Dave and MC Ice-T, you know you're with the best

Because when we're in the mix you know the groove is fresh

and Reckless, Reckless, Reck-Reck-Re-Reckless
