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 i wrote this song cuz i won't let 
Nobody press up and mess up to seen i set 
I like to stand in a crowd and watch the people wonder damn 
Bu 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 a hip-hop form 
Write a rhyme in graffitti 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 if you pretend to be 
?can be? cuz i just put your mind on pause 
And i can beat you when you compare my rhyme wit yours 
I wake you up and as i stare in your face you seem stun 
Remember me, the one you got your idea from 
But soon you start to suffer but you only get rougher 
When you start to stutter that's when you had enuff of 
Biting it, i make you choke, you can't provoke 
You can't cope, you should of broke cuz i ain't no joke 
 
I got a question, it's serious as cancer 
Who can keep the average dancer 
Hyper as a heart attack nobody 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 pack then it's time to ?swit? 
Put my tape on pause and add some more to yours 
Then you figure 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 7 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 til e say 
Play 'em, so i'ma have to dis and broke 
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 presdient 
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 punchline to get the meaning 
Like before the middle 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 be a record fader 
No interruptions and the mic is broke 
When i'm gone, then you can joke 
Cuz everything is real on a serious tip 
Keep playing and i varies quick 
And take you for a walk through hell 
Feed 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
