  • Uhh! You know
    It's times like this
    When we need change nigga
    Yeah, and if you really look at it
    Your life is like a movie
    And we all in the script playin a role
    Let's go!

    [Chorus]
    Mic bright, lights, camera, action
    Mic bright, lights, camera, action
    Mic bright, lights, camera, action
    Mic bright, lights, camera, action
    "You are, now, playing, a rapper" - ACTION

    Yo, I speak clearly, for y'all to hear me
    Rotate while I show the world like Mary
    Sleepin rarely, too much beast for the Aries
    Gilla! Get cream like, Ben & Jerry's
    Too fly to mail me, C.O.D.
    Opened up my mind and let my ego free
    Now the world know my government, and I'm lovin it
    All levels, from White House to the covenant
    Big boy, when the mics and the lights on
    You get a three minute glimpse of the icon
    Your best rapper two-steppin to my song
    When he don't know, he ask I write for him
    Jersey lights, that's where I live
    where I get lost like one of Kennedy kids
    Then I reappear when it's "Time 4 Aksion"
    Then disappear again like LaToya Jackson, it's

    [Chorus]

    Yo, by any means I protect my President
    It's P.O.P., protect our president
    A thoroughbred on the track like the meadowlands
    The Secret Service should bring the ghetto in
    For example, I start up a dot com
    for terrorism, a P.O.P. hotline
    Join the club if you're ready to rub
    elbows with folks who feel oh-nine is our time
    That's the motto, yeah I know Bush
    made bein President one tough act to follow
    Watch the Lewinskis that just wanna swallow
    Remember Kobe Bryant up in Colorado
    Lock me in asylum, your boy too ill with it
    Your life is campaign and that's real bid'ness
    Set up shop and group your team
    cause they ain't doin what they did to Martin Luther King
    F'real!

    [Chorus]

    Yo, they said hip-hop been gone for a minute
    I gotta find hip-hop and tour more with it
    That's my cash cow, wow, go hard
    like the ninth inning, tryin to score for the pennant
    Sky's not the limit, I'm on a quest
    to bring back originality, style and concept
    Show you how to write 16's with context
    Mix it with a little Lil Wayne and KRS
    That's fresh! Dummy, study the art
    Study how it all began and see the part
    Study how Kool Herc became King of Bronx
    Learn, how to rock Wallabees and Clarks
    I think I found hip-hop dawg, she right here
    Listen up homey it might help your career
    I'm goin to the top cause I'm ready for action
    Then disappear again like LaToya jackson, it's
