Yeah, yeah y'all
How y'all feel out there?
ย
Yeah, come on
When we're on the mic, we rock the mic
When we're on the mic, we rock the mic
When we're on the mic, we rock the mic
When we're on the mic, we rock the mic
When we're on the mic, we rock the mic
When we're on the mic, uh, uh-huh
Ayo, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue)
Just think (What?)
What if you could just (Just)
Just blink yourselves away?
Just think (Just think)
Think, what if you could just (What if you could just)
Just blink yourselves away?
Jeff X come rock the mic with Tooth the King
I be the 5'4" 7", residing at the Mecca
Resting, dressing South section
I used to cut class in the infinite pursuit of ass back in '86
But easy with the kicks, I was a chocolate boy
Raised in the cellar with the rhythm like Ella
Walked the mega tight streets to the subway
And just lay until the train stopped, then a brother hopped
Used to do the pop dance to the Planet Rock
At the block party, everybody jive, who me?
It's the MC that I whip, Malik B
The Fifth Dynasty official Dundee
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
We gon' continue, yo, to rock, you know what?
We love the hip-hop (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
I wake up early in the morning, I mean early afternoon
Break a lyrical hammer off the simp like that was boom
I'm fly to when I die, but you can put that on my tomb
Them brothers representing on the 28th of June
Representing for Philly, the sun and the sovereign moon
The Roots and the Fox, turn up the volume
My hammer's in the face of hip-hop and I want the pace
Y'all want a paper chase, I'm on a paper chase
My Timberlands are fully laced, I be the Mr. Boogie Man
With records from 125th to Japan
I laid and played like Donny Hathaway, shake a hand, shake a hand
Your lady tried to kick it, I couldn't play my man
My peoples ain't my peoples if your people ain't my man
I shake a hand that should've hit the fan
Just think (Just what?)
If you could blink for real (What?)
Blink yourselves away
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
We gon' continue, yo, and then rock, you know what?
We love the hip-hop (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
Malik B get on the mic, ayo, it's too much on my mind (Say what?)
Malik get on the mic, it's too much on my mind
Johnny on the spot, got the rhythm and the rhyme
Fucking with the Roots, you know them niggas is a dime
I can make a hundred yard line start to dance
I can make a whole lake of fish start to splash
I can make Cold Man and the Titans clash
And I can make Calico and Guns N' Roses crash
Used to smash fast parties like I was disturbed
Used to make plots against a herringbone curve
But now, all I do is disperse the verb
And like a nerd, I can make you say, "He's superb"
Word to perfect, never should you ever misinterpret
I move styles like bows, so now you know it's worth it
Direct from Philly, where the land where people scheme
So you know I got that scene in my clean
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
We gon' continue (and continue) and
Then rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
I shall (I shall) proceed (proceed)
And continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
We love the hip-hop (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
