Emcee

[J-Live]

Straight from New York where black music was modernized

J-Live all wise and civilized

Always energized

All rights reserved and recognized

All rhymes supersized and come with fries

FOR THE FAT SHIT!

Stacked with fat backed opinions

Pinpoint accurate reflections

Timeless selections

For your listening pleasures

Where rhymes be the bars minutes or miles can measure

Can you believe I do this sh*t for a living?

Politic and positvin' and get paid for poems given

On records, tapes, cds, MP3s

Radios, shows in the states and overseas yo

It's ill cuz my role models are my peers now

And my thoughts'll be in your ears for years now

I'm trying to play my cards right

Cuz despite joys and pains I felt

Several hands were dealt

Yet I live good, look good, eat good, dress good

Stroke good, rest good

Even if I didn't

I could think good, write good, spit good, rock good

No need to knock on wood

Know why? Cuz I'm a

[Chorus] 3x

'M.....C'

'E-M-C-E-E' [Rakim]

[J-Live]

Know why, cuz I'm a

Master of Ceremony

Making a Comeback and

Moving the Crowd with Mad Charisma

Most of y'all Cornballs

Mingle at Concerts

Making a Claim but you know who is the ['MC']

More Concentration on My Cadence Might Cloud your mind

Controlling your Movement Capaciously

My Capacity to Massacre Crumbs

And Motive Change Most Certainly Makes you Consider me

Champion, Microphone is Consistently

Modelling Candor of Magnificence

See My Conduct is Mute to Cajolery

I Maintain with Clamency and Manificence

Cunning and Marvelous

Crafty yet Malevolent

To all Cultivators of Mindless Crap

I Really Recognize the Rude Ramblings of those Random Riff Raffs

Cuz they just Rap and I

Chorus 4x

'The M' *cut up*

'The C' *cut up*

'The MC' *cut up*

[J-Live]

I gonna let you in on how I ['C']

On the day to the day doing what I do to these

['M']-icroscopic sitopic as*

Now naysayers think they can stop it I

['M]-ake money and made money even when I

Couldn't make music, I was still makin dollars

And brace doubt, taking no as a vitamin

Constantly moving motivating and proving

Many are called but few get chosen

Clowns posing in a post and get frozen

More often than not I get hot like

['C']4 on the stage blowing up the spot

Just for

Her, you and him, All of the Above

It's contagious how the crowd show me love

With a ['M']-I-C in my hand

Coming to a venue to you, I better make you say

Chorus
