Lyrics

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
