Pass the Mic
Goodness gracious
If you can feel what I'm feelin', then it's a musical masterpiece
Hear what I'm dealing with, then that's cool at least
What's runnin' through my mind comes through in my walk
True feelings are shown from the way that I talk
And this is me, y'all, I MC, y'all
My name is MCA and I still do what I please
And now I'd like to introduce (what's up?)
I'll pass the mic to D for a fist full of truth
The name is D, y'all, and I don't play
And I can rock a block party 'til your hair turns grey
So, what you sayin'? I explode on sight
I'm like Jimmie Walker, I'm Dyn-o-mite!
And now I'd like to pass the mic (uh-huh)
To Ad-Rock, c'mon and do anything you like
I'm the A-D-R-O-C-K
In the place with the bass, I'm going all the way
I can't stop, y'all, tock-tick, y'all
And if you think that you're slick, you'll catch a brick, y'all
'Cause I'm-a turn it in and I'm-a turn it out
But now I've got to pass the mic to Yauch
Well, on and on and on and on
I can't stop, y'all 'til the early morn'
So rock-rock, y'all, tick-tock, y'all
To the beat, y'all, c'mon and rock, y'all
I give thanks for inspiration
It guides my mind along the way
A lot of people get jealous, they're talkin' about me
But that's just 'cause they haven't got a thing to say
Well, everybody rappin' like it's a commercial
Actin' like life is a big commercial
So this is what I've got to say to you all
Be true to yourself and you will never fall
Now I'd like to pass the mic to the A
So what's your name, Yauch?
My name is MCA
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul
And now I'd like to pass the mic (to who?)
To my brother Ad-Rock, c'mon and shine like a light
Yes, yes, y'all and yes, yes, y'all
I'm always on time, never the last, y'all
And that's right. y'all, I shed light, y'all
I've got no time in my life to get uptight, y'all
So what you gonna say that I don't know already?
I'm like Clyde, and I'm rockin' steady
But time flies when you're having fun
So Mike D? (that's me) C'mon and get some
M-I-K-E to the D
You come and see me and you pay a fee
Do what I do, professionally
To tell the truth, I am exactly what I want to be
Now Ad-Rock (huh?) and MCA (yeah?)
Let's rock this joint in the old school way
Well, I'm on 'til the crack of dawn
Mowin' down MC's like I'm mowin' a lawn
I go off like nothing can faze me
You think we'll ever meet Stevie? One of these days, D
But I can stand my ground and I am down
To wax an MC who acts like a clown
But for now, I'd like to ask you how
You like the feel of the bass in your face in the crowd
If you can feel what I'm feelin', then it's a musical masterpiece
Hear what I'm dealing with, then that's cool at least
What's runnin' through my mind comes through in my walk
True feelings are shown from the way that I talk
And this is me, y'all, I MC, y'all
My name is MCA and I still do what I please
And now I'd like to introduce (what's up?)
