Lyrics
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
