I ain't no joke
I use to let the mic smoke
Now I slam it when I'm done
and make sure it's broke
When I'm gone no one gets on
cuz I won't let
Nobody press up and
mess up the scene I set
I like to stand in a crowd
and watch the people wonder damn
But think about it
then you'll understand
I'm just an addict
addicted to music
Maybe it's a habit
I gotta use it
Even if it's jazz or the quiet storm
I hook a beat up
convert it in to hip-hop form
Write a rhyme in graffiti in
every show you see me in
Deep concentration
cuz I'm no comedian
Jokers are wild
if you wanna be tame
I treat you like a child
then you're gonna be named
Another enemy
not even a friend of me
Cuz you'll get fried in the end
when you pretend to be
Competing cuz
I just put your mind on pause
And I can beat you
when you compare my rhyme
with yours
I wake you up
and as I stare in your face
you seem stunned
Remember me
the one you got your idea from
But soon you start to suffer
the tune'll get rougher
When you start to stutter
that's when you had enough of Biting
it'll make you choke
you can't provoke
You can't cope
you should of broke
because I ain't no joke
I got a question
as serious as cancer
Who can keep the average dancer
Hyper as a heart attack
nobody's smiling
Cuz you're expressing the rhyme
that I'm styling
This is what
we all sit down to write
You can't make it
so you take it home
break it and bite
Use pieces and bits
of all the hip-hop hits
Get the style down packed
then it's time to switch
Put my tape on pause
and add some more to yours
Then you fake it
you're ready
for the neighborhood chores
The E M C E E
don't even try to be
When you come up to speak
don't even lie to me
You like to exaggerate
dream and imaginate
Then change the rhyme around
that can aggravate me
So when you see me come up
freeze
Or you'll be one of those seven MC's
They think that I'm a new jack
but only if they knew that
They who think wrong
are they who can't do that
Style that I'm doing
they might ruin
Patterns of paragraphs based on you and
Your offbeat DJ
if anything he play
Sound familiar
I'll wait till E say
Play 'em
so I'ma have to dis and bro
You could get a smack for this
I ain't no joke
I hold the microphone like a grudge
B'll hold the record
so the needle don't budge
I hold a conversation
cuz when I invent
I nominated my DJ
the president
When I'm see I'll
people freestyle
going steadily
So pucker up
and whistle my melody
But whatever you do
don't miss one
They'll be another rough rhyme
after this one
Before you know it
you're following and fiending
Waiting for the punch line
to get the meaning
Like before the moral
of my story I'm telling
Nobody beats the R
so stop yelling
Save it
put it in your pocket for later
Cuz I'm moving the crowd
and B a record fader
No interruptions
till the mic is broke
When I'm gone
then you can joke
Cuz everything is real
on a serious tip
Keep playing
and I get furious quick
And I take you
for a walk through hell
Freeze your dome
then watch your eyeballs swell
Guide you
out of triple stage darkness
When it get dark again
then I'ma spark this
Microphone cuz the heat is on
you see smoke
And I'm finish when the beat is gone
I'm no joke
