[Intro: Biz Markie Sample]
"Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic

[Verse 1: C.L. Smooth, Pete Rock]
Capture this funakthon loaded by the Mecca Don (Ow)
Into the red zone, you spot my skull and crossbone alone (Ow)
Flow the Watergates, slaughter great, think and meditate
Set behind the pace of the C.L.'s war face (Ah yeah)
Cars and tints, making blueprints for over six figure salaries
Luchified, cause many did and died (Yeah)
The mic wrecka, study Mecca, now building
'Cause I love my shorties like Jesus loved children (Come on)
'Cause being smooth is the science I crafted (Woo)
To a state, when they incarcerate me I wanna be free (Uh)
And play some D on the high-scoring thrill from the Vernonville
Taking my yards with no bodyguards (Ah)
My clique's the first round draft pick for time in prison
So the only way to cover that is clean living (Uh)
Respect given, hear the bell go "ding"
It's like Tyson stepping back into the ring, soon as I...
[Chorus: Pete Rock & Biz Markie Sample]
"Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic"
(Yo, get on the mic)
"Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic"
(Get on the mic)
"Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic"
(Get on the mic)

[Verse 2: C.L. Smooth, Pete Rock]
Ladies and gents for dead presidents it represents
Now hear what it's like when I ("Get on the mic")
And strike 'cause every Nike I wear is kicking ass there
Too dope to scare and too damn smooth to care (Ooh wee)
So flick your lighters in the air, and let me blow the roof off
The Colosseum plus I got to get per diem (That's right)
All deuces file out, and leave the dimes to the front row
And when I say "Go" I want 'em showing love (Ow)
And tossing dough, 'cause with the daddy unemployed
And the old earth raising me, any other rugged n***a's history
No mystery, I'm physical in action
So guess relaxing is a weekend with Toni Braxton (Woo)
On your TV is me, incredible MC, B
With the P to the R, my break a ways can bounce for days (Yeah)
This fillets, I'm trucking jewels like Eric B
And all you corny fools can't see me, oh my my my
[Chorus: Pete Rock & Biz Markie Sample]
"Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic"

(Get on the microphone)
"Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic"
(Get on the mic)
"Get on the mic, get on the mic
Get on the mic, get on the mic"
(Yo, get on the microphone)
[Verse 3: C.L. Smooth, Pete Rock]
Healthy, wealthy, and wise just your size
Come and try the hardcore, set on down by every law (Ooh wee)
Moving in your Lex treks out a sextivity
At its highest level of funktagious served in major (Ah yeah)
He's the real neighbor, overqualified to be luchified
Pete Rock's the god when my stizyle profile (Uh)
Slide into the Milky Way, the Carmel King say
We're back on crazy to put the duke up in Daisy
Amazingly, none of y'all can fade me never
Add the spice to make you shoop like Salt N Pepa (Uh-huh)
How large is he? Mastered my degree in mic surgery
With plans to retire at the tender age of thirty (Uh)
Power's what I cherish, all informers must perish
On the downlow, lift my peoples from the ghetto (Ah yeah)
In every borough C.L. is quite thorough
In do or die don't try when INI
