[VERSE 1]

The microphone stand is where I make my escape

Out of the blue I see some dope rhymes that I shoulda take

I used to say em off the top of my head, man, could I drop a

Megaton bomb that was odd to stop, a

Movin train, hope I don't have to explain

That any rapper step in my way, he's bound to be slain

The stage is the court, I'm the judge and the juror

And when rappers pass me by they should Heil to the Führer

Although you may hate me and down to degrade me

There's some suckers walkin 'round tryin to cold imitate me

Never cursin or rehearsin cause I'm so versatile

And you can tell by these words it's a freestyle



[VERSE 2]

MC's I wipe out and rub them, don't care if you love them

And I wish you placed my name ?that flies? way up above them

Each and every show I do ends with applause

Here's lookin at you, kid, now go for yours

And if you choose not to, then I'm gonna take it

A night you'll never forget: it's just what I make it

And it won't take long for me to sing a new song

Because the key to gettin paid is you should never prolong

See my mind is set to automatically jet

You can't name the day you seen me let a mic pass yet

Once the microphone is mine I start by thankin you greatly

And you haven't heard of anybody duffin us lately

Never cursin or rehearsin cause I'm so versatile

You can tell by these words it's a freestyle



[VERSE 3]

Just take another look at this one tough cookie

And could never be duffed by a new jack rookie

See, before I came with an MC name

And I feel sorry for the rapper that tries to proclaim

Because you won't have a chance and you will need advancin

Marley hasn't made a beat yet that wasn't enhancin

As a matter of fact I keep my rhymes intact

Severly's how you get served for callin me wack

Never again, I'm reminiscin

Last rapper in the world you should think about dissin

Cause my lyrics are burnin, Marley's tables are turnin

And ?sufficiant? we give suckers are watchin and learnin

MC Shan and Marley Marl and we're respected so greatly

And you haven't heard of anybody duffin us lately

Never cursin or rehearsin cause I'm so versatile

And you can tell by these words it's a freestyle



[VERSE 4]

I come runnin when the microphone calls

Say a few ???, say ???, say ho and yes yes y'all

It gotta be ill cause I don't write no frill

You used to love to hear the story and you always will

We put the B, the B, the Bridge on p-plastic

??? like ???

But the ??? made the jivva-jivva-jam c-classic

Come to think about it, we're respected so greatly

And you haven't heard of anybody duffin us lately

Never cursin or rehearsin, I'm so versatile

And you can tell by these words it's a freestyle
