In Love With the Mic

Yo momma wears army boots

I saw when she took 'em off

She threw them in the street

And that street said, "I smell feet." Uh

[Intro: Dave Chappelle]

Alright y'all, 100 grand says I get it in one take

That's right baby, one take Dave

One take Dizzle

Here we go

[Chorus: Dave Chappelle]

She want to know if we can be together

Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever

But it can only be for one night

The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

She want to know if we can be together

Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever

But it can only be for one night

The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

[Verse 1: Skillz]

Trust me, it's something 'bout the way I touch her

The way that I hold her, the way I clutch her

She move a lot but that ain't shit to me

Man, I need that bitch and that bitch need me

And I ain't even talking 'bout R-A-P

Them other lames be the same, they don't worry me

Sit back, I spit that shit that

Get better, then make a veteran sit back

Cruisin', mic check, one, twos-in'

If y'all not us, then that's why y'all losin'

Eight up, no time to wake up

No masquerade, nigga, move the maker

Just do it, put the hop into it

And when y'all lose it, don't blame the music

Half y'all fell in love with a whore

The question is if you don't love her

What you fucking her for, nigga

[Chorus: Dave Chappelle]

She want to know if we can be together

Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever

But it can only be for one night

The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic (Baby!)

She want to know if we can be together

Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever

But it can only be for one night

The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

[Verse 2: Black Thought]

Yeah, the fuck's the problem?

Y'all, it's Lee Marvin

My squad more thicker than some hemoglobin

I scare y'all quicker than a mean ol' goblin

Ain't no bullshit, me and my amigos poppin'

Huh?

We get started, ain't gon' be no stopping

You gon' jump because it ain't gon' be no option

I'm totally contagious

Black man engaged in language

Black Thought AKA Larry Davis, huh?

Got rhymes running off the pages

Tighter than the Bushes with the Saudi Arabians

Darker than an oil well

Sharp as a saber tooth tiger

Riding on a straight edge razor

Moonwalk-talking on a two-way pager

Till ya main thing getting me to Captain Save-A-

I won't backslide 'cause I'd be a failure - the mic's

Gripped tight like it's my genitalia

Huh?

The hip hee-op chief

Agent Diap, all that

And a banana cognac biatch

Coney hair coat, my boots is ostri-otch

Black Inc. back, turn me up another nee-otch

Huh?

[Chorus: Dave Chappelle]

She want to know if we can be together

Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever

But it can only be for one night

The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

She want to know if we can be together (For what?)

Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever (For what?)

But it can only be for one night

The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

[Verse 3: Truck North]

Yo, young Truck in this fucking game

And what a nigga is if he wasn't in the game?

I bring pain from the summer to spring

Spit game then your chick'll make her leave with the gang

You wanna talk a little shit, I make you walk with a cane

Got 'em half steppin' like they walk the cane

Here I am, R-A-W, raw

Truck North introducing y'all

The way I 'splain things make your dame the same

I'm Superman to Clark Kent to Lois Lane

I'm out for the paper, y'all out for the fame

It's 5 left of your 15 minutes of fame

I ain't got no problems bringing drama to y'all

You never score like a punter running with the ball

I squeeze mics to the core [?]

Truck North, the man and the myth

Signing off, yo

[Chorus: Dave Chappelle]

She want to know if we can be together

Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever

But it can only be for one night

The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

She want to know if we can be together

Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever

But it can only be for one night

The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

[Outro: Dave Chappelle]

Baby

Alright y'all

Who should I make that cheque out to

100 grand payable to the Roots

Yes they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell
