Never
It's all been leading up to this moment
All right now, right here
My whole life, right here
We got rhyme selections in a wide array
J'ai des bonbons pour vous manger
The party people scream, "Oui, oui, c'est vrai"
Cause I got a remote for my bidet
Now A-D-R-O-C-K
I use the microphone like Picasso used clay
Down with Freckles from around the way
Peace to Bambaataa and Jazzy Jay
I rock on the mic from here to Bombay
I give it my best and say come what may
Cause everybody's got their dues to pay
I'm looking sideways like my man Pele
Gettin' on like Ali bomaye
So fed up with racism today
Time to speak up and not turn away
Make the sun shine when it's cloudy and gray
Dip dip dive so socialize
Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
If you learn to love, you're in for a surprise
It could be nice to be alive
I'm taking doody rhymes to a brand new height
I shine on the mic like Ultrabright
Created a monster with these rhymes I write
Goatee metal rap, please say goodnight
Now here's a little something you may not like
My dj's name is Mix Master Mike
It's a real pity that you people got to bite
But I could understand because he sounds so nice
Reading you the news cause I'm Country Mike
Use a microphone like Shazam uses tights
Try to keep clear of that hate and spite
So I keep my mind still like the still of night
Now who in the world do you want to fight?
It's against the system, we should unite
Homophobics ain't alright
If you learn to love, then you might love life
Dip dip dive so-socialize
Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
If you learn to love, you're in for a surprise
It could be nice to be alive
Bring it back that old New York rap
Bring it back that old New York rap
Bring it-Bring it back that old New York rap
Bring it-Bring it back that-Bring it-Bring it back that
Bring it-Bring it back that old New York rap
Bring it back that old New York rap
Bring it-Bring it back that-Bring it-Bring it back that
Bring it-Bring it back that old New York rap
Now you can shuffle numbers but facts is facts
So many billionares while so many lack
So before the poor decide to react
Come on party people and share up your stacks
Now I'm-a break it down to the brass tacks
Do the Biz Mark dance and the cabbage patch
You try to turn the key but then you broke the latch
Sneak into my files for some rhymes to snatch
I'd like to have a say on the income tax
Don't wanna help build bombs and that's the facts
No money for health care so what's the catch?
The man got you locked with no key to the latch
Mike and Adam have got my back
You bring the mics and we'll bring the raps
Turn on the pa and rock your shack
Don't smoke cheeba, can't stand crack
Dip dip dive so-socialize
Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
If you learn to love, you're in for a surprise
It could be nice to be alive
I have never been more ready in my entire life to do this right now Never It's all been leading up to this moment All right now, right here My whole life, right here We got rhyme selections in a wide array J'ai des bonbons pour vous manger The party people scream, "Oui, oui, c'est vrai" Cause I got a remote for my bidet Now A-D-R-O-C-K I use the microphone like Picasso used clay Down with Freckles from around the way Peace to Bambaataa and Jazzy Jay I rock on the mic from here to Bombay I give it my best and say come what may Cause everybody's got their dues to pay I'm looking sideways like my man Pele Gettin' on like Ali bomaye So fed up with racism today Time to speak up and not turn away Make the sun shine when it's cloudy and gray Dip dip dive so socialize Open up your ears and clean out your eyes If you learn to love, you're in for a surprise It could be nice to be alive I'm taking doody rhymes to a brand new height I shine on the mic like Ultrabright Created a monster with these rhymes I write Goatee metal rap, please say goodnight Now here's a little something you may not like My dj's name is Mix Master Mike It's a real pity that you people got to bite But I could understand because he sounds so nice Reading you the news cause I'm Country Mike Use a microphone like Shazam uses tights Try to keep clear of that hate and spite So I keep my mind still like the still of night Now who in the world do you want to fight?
