Verse 1
-------
It was a summer mornin` at the age of eighteen
I`ll start the story in the shower singin` Microphone Fiend
Tryna figure my routine for the day
There`s mad things to do with no delay
In preparation for this jam around the way
I`m steppin` out the shower
Crossin` out the calender
Pickin` out the afro and pullin` out the gear
I hear the same sounds every mornin`
Sports centre, the traffic
Your mom dukes screamin` in my ear
Dipped, yet my thoughts slip
Thinkin` that my plans just barely coincide with my money clip
But get a grip cos by the end of the day, bro
Your pockets`ll be a-ight, even before the crowd says `A-yo!`
I jet up to Lex, take the 6 to the R
My journey wouldn`t feel as far if I had a car
5-O was there, so I paid my fare
But I didn`t care `til he gave a glare, who you tryna scare?
I`m passin` flyers to a crew of fly young sisters
A chicken from my past is actin` crab, so I had to diss her
My head bops and my fingers pops `til I reach my stop
Then I mush my way through to the record shop
Can I get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Indoors or an outside jam
Can I get it if ya understand?
Verse 2
-------
As I exit stage right, lookin` forward to the night
It`s official, Imma have this party packed tight like toilet tissue
What`s the issue? I`m never comin` wack
We never lack the latest flavour, keepin` crates stacked
Buyin` records by the pack
With my knapsack filled as I chilled
On the C-Train, simple and plain, let me explain
I had to check my man Gee for his m-i-c
Cos the way we be mine simply couldn`t maintain
As usual Gee was on C.P Time
But he came through with this mic, plus this bleeder light, right
My next step was to transport the system
Let`s see, between me and my peeps five deep
We still had no ride
So I hailed a taxi, since the yellow`s don`t stop
And it don`t quit, you know we went gypsy
Arrivin` on the scene at about eight-fifteen
To the same routine, some sheisty brother frontin` on my green
Never that, nah mean? Check this out, black
Skip the non-sense cos Imma say this just once
I want the money we discussed last week
Plus you`re payin` for my ride
I`ll take my loot upfront with no stunts, bro
Put your chequebooks away, no pay no J
No J no sound play, you make no profit, understand?
Plus your name was on the flyers so your rep`ll be dead
What he said? Not a thing, he put the cash in my hand...
Can I get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Indoors or an outside jam
Can I get it if ya understand?
Can I get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Old school or a new school jam
Can I get it if ya understand?
Verse 3
-------
On the line perplexed, fixed to flex cos you`re far from next
And the next one to bump you from the back gets his chin checked
But I don`t know about that cos I`m already in there
And I got ya grinnin` when you hear your favourite record spinnin`
So skip it, cos now you`re bouncin` to the door
But if you`re riffin` with the bouncers
You`ll be bouncin` straight up off the floor
So if you`re mad at the security
(Sadat X: It don`t mean jack to me...that`s how it`s supposed to be)
As I mix Walk on By over Passin` Me By
Seem like everybody puffin` but I`m contact high
Off this fresh new wax, with the real brown sugars makin` eye contact
React, what`s the haps? It`s digits or excuses?
I`m pullin` out the pen and she supplies the data
Flavour, but for now I got tracks to spin
So if you`re stayin` til the end we can handle this later
Torturin` the fader, the Tech 12 freaker
The bass from the amps shake the stickers off the speaker
I don`t claim to have the loudest sound in town
But from the inside it felt like the ground shaked from Lenox to Bleecker
Circles form, dance contests
Most know how I do while the rest make requests
But Imma play what you wanna hear anyway
So get your boogie on and parley
Can I get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Old school or a new school jam
Can I get it if ya understand?
Can I get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Outside or an indoor jam
Can I get it if ya understand?
