lyrics

This Is the Way
Chorus
This is the way the work of the mc should be done (done, done, done, done, done, done) 3X
This is the way the work of the mc should be

Verse One
The mc was born and was honed for the uplift
Now everybody and they cousin be busting a riff
Talking loud and saying nothing, but they be coming fronting
You in my verbal gunsight and I be going hunting
Call me the clean-up man on all them whack lines
Tracks get taxed when they be up against the star sign
Jewel got the tools, make you look like fools
You gots no class so I enroll you in the old school
Your very first lesson, freestyle rhyme session
Tripped over yo words and made a big verbal mess and
The 12-inch vinyl, administer your final
Drunk on my lyrics, have you tipsy like a wino
Call my name three times, I’m coming like the Candyman
Blade make it safe for the righteous to live again
So come with the dead in head, retread, bullspit you said
Initiate and terminate, scripture’s in red

Verse Two
Was that yo lyric or was somebody torturing the diction
You claim you keep it real, but I’m hearing verbal fiction
The audience enthralled by the fables you spin
But the real divine son got the blade for the sin
5 on it, you don’t want it, even got yo girl up on it
I’m a historic era and you a brief moment
Like commercial, shoulda spent mo time up in rehearsal
I got no anesthetic and I’m just about to hurt you
So run for the Band-Aid and get yoself some liniment
Chewing up sucker emcees just like the speariment
Wrigley, you be like the Adam minus fig leaf
They calling for the doc ‘cause yo rhymes be sorta sickly
I’m coming no holds barred, blasting through the gate
You didn’t mean to do it? Sorry it’s just too late
Them rhymes you floated, done plane crashed you blowed it
And now you just a causalty, ‘cause Reapa done exploded
