Bless the Mic

[Intro: Sinbad]

Everything changing nowadays, man

Kids got technology and the rap music

I mean, I like rap music, I ain't gon' lie

I like rap music, man, I like some of it, man

But I don't think you gon' see, like, rap reunions 20 years from now

I don't think you're gonna see a 50-year-old rapper

"How you like me now?"

[Scratched Sample: Rakim]

Bless the mic

Bless the mic

Bless the mic

Bless the mic for the gods

[Verse 1: Guru]

When it's concerning these bars, I'm leaving permanent scars

On you half-ass rappers, you ain't earnin' it, pa

So come to my class, then I can son you real fast

Just 'cause you comin' with cash, you still a wannabe ass

I get chicks state to state, offer me face from the gate

'Cause the sound of my voice makes their juices marinate

As opposed to those with mediocre prose

Wet you from head to toe, and watch you soak in your clothes

[Chorus: Guru]

It's the message in the song that makes you rock on

Some people go to places where they don't belong

Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight

But I'm here to bless this mic (Bless the mic for the gods)

It's the lessons in the song that makes you rock on

Some people go to places where they don't belong

Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight

But I'm here to bless this mic (Bless the mic)

[Verse 2: Guru]

Now, why'd they try to pull a plug on a brother?

Pull the rug from a brother?

Catch a slug from the toolie of a gun-lovin' brother

Violence, wylin', whatever, they know

The more rappers come, the quicker they go

This underground is mine, might even see me in a hoop'

Switch to a droptop coupe, why you cock blockin', dukes?

Baldhead Slick, I represent my clique

I got my little man loadin' the ammo, this shit is sick

[Chorus: Guru]

It's the message in the song that makes you rock on

Some people go to places where they don't belong

Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight

But I'm here to bless this mic (Bless the mic for the gods)

It's the lessons in the song that makes you rock on

Some people go to places where they don't belong

Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight

But I'm here to bless this mic (Bless the mic for the gods)

[Scratched Samples: Rakim & Greg Nice]

Bless the mic

Bless the mic

Bless the mic

Bless the mic for the gods

Bless the mic

Bless the mic

Bless the mic, bless, bless the mic

Bless the mic for the gods
