Musical composition, entitled

Please check it out


[Verse 1: Greg Nice]

Get up, everybody, it's time to sway, okay

Greg Nice is on the mic with no delay

Get up, everybody, it's time to sway, okay

Greg Nice is on the mic with no delay

She, said, her name was Lola

I, said, yo Lola, swolla

Soave Bolla, Ayatollah

Saudi Arabia, Coca-Cola

My Rolex watch is ran by solar

Get down, peep my mic technique

Let's freak let's freak let's freak to the beat

Checks get cashed, at the end of the weak

C'mon, Deck the Halls with skins and party

Gainin' weight cause I do eat hearty

When I wanna get tipsy I drink Bacardi

Greg Nice, I'm outta here, ghost!


[Chorus]

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone


[Verse 2: Pete Nice]

Uncle Fester, the bald head jester

Not me, the Minister, the mic molester

Five-oh arrest a G, doin' ill deeds

Took a ho to pull out the weeds

Droppin G, the case court is to hobos

Kickin' the bobo, chewin' on a Rolo

Ain't a Volvo with no paid promos

Sippin' cocoa and rollin' up momos

Fee-fie-foe-fum and 808 drums

The buns ain't mack 'cause your breath hums

No "Funky Drummer" loops of past summers

But you can't stop the "Humrush" hummers

Like Roto Rooter layin pipes like a plumber

Nice and Smooth 'cause Three's a prime number

I go brick church buildin' when I'm sleepin'

So flip off my tip, I rip the mic techniquein'


[Chorus]

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone


[Verse 3: Smooth B]

I praise the Lord that I'm no longer a vandal

Kiss my daughter goodnight, then I light a white candle

And sit back and meditate

Evaluate, appreciate

'Cause I didn't have to be here, on wax

Unveiling a truth with proof of all facts

'Cause in my life I see the life of many others

Various shades of colors, sisters brothers

And once my soul leaves my bodily shell

I believe to receive a new veil

Of some conscious subconscious abode

Chose by few on the positive road

A man is judged by the goodness of his heart

So who's to say who's dumb and who's smart?

Aiyyo Serch (Whattup?) I came to hear you speak

Get on the mic and flaunt your microphone technique


[Chorus]

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone

I'm on the microphone


[Verse 4: MC Serch]

Watch me shine til it's time for sundown

I had a scuffle with a kid it only went one round

I got a girl so there's no need to sex a ho

But I gas em up just like they're at Texaco

Ring goes my phone, so I pick it up and say, "Whattup?"

Somebody's flippin', so I tell him to shut up

Would use the F word, but Ice Cube got the copyright

So I'll make it "Funky For You" with Greg Nice

And his partner Smooth B

Watch the Superbowl, just for Bud Bowl III

Then I watch Living Color, cause "Homey don't play dat"

Money like my honey in my crib and it'll stay that way

The equality variety

You don't like it then you're gonna join the Dead Poet's Society

Try to flip on what this quartet speaks

And Serch will disperse, the microphone techniques


[Outro]
