Alright Hear This

[00:00.42] Alright, he's scratching it right now
[00:03.18] Cuttin' the record back and forth against the needle
[00:05.97] Back and forth, back and forth, makin' it scratch
[00:08.75] But let me tell you somthing
[00:10.06] Don't try it at home with your dad's stereo
[00:12.25] Only under hip-hop supervision, alright
[00:14.42]
[00:21.94] Alright hear this
[00:24.30] So you wanna be an MC, huh?
[00:26.66] Alright hear this
[00:29.11] So you wanna be an MC, huh?
[00:30.67] Because I grab the microphone and I pick it up
[00:32.93] And then I fuck it up and then I turn it in
[00:35.48] And then I turn it out, got the body-rockin' sound
[00:37.71] And you know I'm gonna get down
[00:40.44] Eat a Scooby snack and take a disco nap
[00:42.42] Well, then I'm shoppin' at Sears 'cause I don't buy at The Gap
[00:44.81] I'm sending this one out to all the funky inspirations
[00:47.56] Pretty Purdie on the drums with the beat relations (yeah, yeah)
[00:49.86] Well, I'm working on rhymes, they're coming line by line
[00:51.85] Tryin' to put what I feel into word and rhymes
[00:54.21] I've got a feeling comin' on, I've got to make some shit
[00:56.67] A little something stupid for the twisted and sick
[00:59.12] Because I drive like a maniac on the streets
[01:01.79] And I don't give fuck 'cause I've got the beats
[01:04.03] Got my nuts swingin' from left to right and
[01:06.62] Right to left and I'm death-defying
[01:09.27] Alright hear this
[01:11.60] So you wanna be an MC, huh?
[01:13.90] Alright hear this
[01:16.02] So you wanna be an MC, huh?
[01:18.12] Spin my fortune on a wheel like Sajak
[01:20.03] Here's the payback, keep going strong like since the way back
[01:23.00] I try to be myself but I lose track
[01:25.09] Because the shit gets complicated, now I've got to get back
[01:27.66] As we learn to breed love for one another
[01:30.06] In these times of melding cultures
[01:32.44] I give respect for what's been borrowed and lent
[01:34.51] I know this music comes down from African descent
[01:37.17] 'Cause I don't need a magic potion
[01:39.51] Let me talk about back field in motion
[01:42.02] My girls got cheeks for weeks and I'm happy
[01:44.44] You know I'm a sneak like my old grand pappy
[01:46.44] Well, I gotta give thanks to my man, Archie Sheep
[01:48.71] For staying true to inspiration 'cause I don't half-step
[01:51.15] So I kick out the jams and tell you who I am
[01:53.58] And then I talk to the people like Les McCann
[01:56.63] Alright hear this
[01:59.06] So you wanna be an MC, huh?
[02:01.35] Alright hear this
[02:03.49] So you wanna be an MC, huh?
[02:08.52] Alright hear this
[02:13.17] Alright hear this
[02:15.48] I ask god for a rhyme or two
[02:17.25] A little something for the wise as well as the fool
[02:19.56] A little something to affect a little taste of change
[02:21.91] For the together and strong, as well as the deranged
[02:24.27] Because I'll do you right like Bobby Knight
[02:26.63] And then I'm rappin' on the mic to the Broadway light
[02:29.10] Stomp my hands, I clap my feet and
[02:31.68] I'm bugging off Yusef Lateef
[02:34.05] I got a match to my ass and I'm-a keep it lit
[02:35.82] Well, then I need to get some cash, call my accountant Britt
[02:37.11] Because I'm rushing 'round town, taking care of my functions
[02:39.75] Always got one more thing so forget about the function
[02:42.01] We create this world and the problems go on
[02:44.77] Create our lives and the things that go wrong
[02:46.81] So to the deaf, the blind, look around and listen
[02:49.46] To what it is you want and for what you're wishing
[02:52.38] Alright hear this
[02:54.39] So you wanna be an MC, huh?
[02:57.07] Alright hear this
[02:59.10] So you wanna be an MC, huh?
[03:01.73] Alright hear this
[03:03.51]
