Ol’ Dirty Bastard
In Love With the Mic
Yo momma wears army boots
I saw when she took 'em off
She threw them in the street
And that street said, "I smell feet." Uh

[Intro: Dave Chappelle]
Alright y'all, 100 grand says I get it in one take
That's right baby, one take Dave
One take Dizzle
Here we go

[Chorus: Dave Chappelle]
She want to know if we can be together
Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever
But it can only be for one night
The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

She want to know if we can be together
Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever
But it can only be for one night
The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

[Verse 1: Skillz]
Trust me, it's something 'bout the way I touch her
The way that I hold her, the way I clutch her
She move a lot but that ain't shit to me
Man, I need that bitch and that bitch need me
And I ain't even talking 'bout R-A-P
Them other lames be the same, they don't worry me
Sit back, I spit that shit that
Get better, then make a veteran sit back
Cruisin', mic check, one, twos-in'
If y'all not us, then that's why y'all losin'
Eight up, no time to wake up
No masquerade, n***a, move the maker
Just do it, put the hop into it
And when y'all lose it, don't blame the music
Half y'all fell in love with a whore
The question is if you don't love her
What you fucking her for, n***a
[Chorus: Dave Chappelle]
She want to know if we can be together
Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever
But it can only be for one night
The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic (Baby!)

She want to know if we can be together
Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever
But it can only be for one night
The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Yeah, the fuck's the problem?
Y'all, it's Lee Marvin
My squad more thicker than some hemoglobin
I scare y'all quicker than a mean ol' goblin
Ain't no bullshit, me and my amigos poppin'
Huh?
We get started, ain't gon' be no stopping
You gon' jump because it ain't gon' be no option
I'm totally contagious
Black man engaged in language
Black Thought AKA Larry Davis, huh?
Got rhymes running off the pages
Tighter than the Bushes with the Saudi Arabians
Darker than an oil well
Sharp as a saber tooth tiger
Riding on a straight edge razor
Moonwalk-talking on a two-way pager
Till ya main thing getting me to Captain Save-A-
I won't backslide 'cause I'd be a failure - the mic's
Gripped tight like it's my genitalia
Huh?
The hip hee-op chief
Agent Diap, all that
And a banana cognac biatch
Coney hair coat, my boots is ostri-otch
Black Inc. back, turn me up another nee-otch
Huh?
[Chorus: Dave Chappelle]
She want to know if we can be together
Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever
But it can only be for one night
The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

She want to know if we can be together (For what?)
Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever (For what?)
But it can only be for one night
The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

[Verse 3: Truck North]
Yo, young Truck in this fucking game
And what a n***a is if he wasn't in the game?
I bring pain from the summer to spring
Spit game then your chick'll make her leave with the gang
You wanna talk a little shit, I make you walk with a cane
Got 'em half steppin' like they walk the cane
Here I am, R-A-W, raw
Truck North introducing y'all
The way I 'splain things make your dame the same
I'm Superman to Clark Kent to Lois Lane
I'm out for the paper, y'all out for the fame
It's 5 left of your 15 minutes of fame
I ain't got no problems bringing drama to y'all
You never score like a punter running with the ball
I squeeze mics to the core [?]
Truck North, the man and the myth
Signing off, yo
[Chorus: Dave Chappelle]
She want to know if we can be together
Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever
But it can only be for one night
The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

She want to know if we can be together
Man, even if it ain't gonna be forever
But it can only be for one night
The only thing I ever loved in my life was the mic

[Outro: Dave Chappelle]
Baby
Alright y'all
Who should I make that cheque out to
100 grand payable to the Roots
Yes they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell
