  • If you can feel what I'm feeling then it's a musical masterpiece
    Hear what I'm dealing with then that's cool at least
    What's running through my mind comes through in my walk
    True feelings are shown from the way that I talk and this is me, y'all
    An M.C., y'all my name is M.C.A. 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 fistful of truth

    The name is D, y'all, and I don't play
    And I can rock a block party 'till your hair turns grey
    (So, what you sayin'?) I explode on site
    I'm like Jimmy Walker, I'm (dy-no-mite!)
    And now I'd like to pass the mic
    To Adrock, 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'ma turn it in and I'ma turn it out
    But for now I've got to pass the mic to Yauch

    Well, on and on and on and on
    I can't stop, y'all, 'till' the early morn'
    So rock-rock, y'all, tick-tock y'all, to the beat, 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 talking about me
    But that's just 'cause they haven't got a thing to say

    Well, everybody rapping 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
    And now I'd like to pass the mic to the A

    (So what's your name, yauch?) my name is M.C.A
    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 my brother Adrock, c'mon and shine like a light

    Yes, yes, y'all and yes, yes, y'all
    I'm always on time, nevertheless, 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 your fee
    Do what I do professionally
    To tell the truth I am exactly what I want to be
    Now Adrock (huh?) and M.C.A (yeah?)
    Let's rock this joint in the old school way

    Well, I'm on 'till the crack of dawn
    Mowing down M.C.'s like I'm mowing the lawn
    I go off like nothing can phase 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 M.C 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? Writer/s: ADAM HOROVITZ, ADAM NATHANIEL YAUCH, M. NISHITA, MARIO CALDATO JR., MICHAEL LOUIS DIAMOND
