my name is Mike.
i'm fooling with the [new]
i'm doing it all like
i like what i do
i do what i like
i could quit and get it back like i'm riding a bike
like stop...
...bring it back.
we got that balance keeping us on track
that ya get what 'cha [move] and quit, no slow
you stare like you don't care
but you do it though i know
you really must be so lonely
puffed up, lookin' tough, but so phony
you and your boys, you don't know me
you really wanna [show] me? show me, homie.
lets get it over with for good
i got a friction addiction i wish you would
Machine Shop rockin' when we step inside
and we got everybody so petrified
now why is everybody so petrified?
WHAT?
petrified?
WHAT?
step aside.
and just drop that...
COME ON!
drop that...
COME ON!

COME ON!
listen you are not ready
like children in a building you can't stand steady
it must be the beat so heavy
coz i panic attack like a crack in the levy
give you that [... or plant]
dancing days are back
feeling all in the track in fact
for those knowing the name
of back with a brand new attack
who can do it like that?
you really must be so lonely
puffed up, lookin' tough, but so phony
you and your boys, you don't know me
you really wanna [show] me? show me, homie.
tough talk doesn't mean a thing
[you know for yourself you know when we're up in a scene]
its Machine Shop rockin' when we step inside
and we got everybody so petrified
now why is everybody so petrified?
WHAT?
petrified?
WHAT?
step aside.
and just drop that...
COME ON!
drop that...
COME ON!

step aside.
and just drop that...
