[Intro]

The B.M.X. Black Man Experience

Building pyramids

Check it out


[Chorus]

Microphone microphone, it's calling me

Microphone microphone, it’s drawing me

Microphone microphone, it's calling me

Microphone microphone, it's all I see


[Verse 1]

Black youth could tell how I’m teachin' where I hail from, what region

You know it's Eastern, now I'm releasin', why question

Don't ask me questions 'bout these other mic contestants

Well I'ma tell you, other than I rock them like Led Zeppelin

’Cause minds get blown when my style is shown

Presented I walk this shit like a pig I let it roam

I bark through this microphone, give you a warning

Kill the performance on this sound recording

No soloist, no group, no man is all-important

So I toast bi-coastal

On time delivery reach every spot like the Postal Service

This rhyme addict, I’m a herbalist

I take your brain style and burn it

And see, it's only God who I worship

As I walk the Earth’s surface, I heat it like a furnace

My name learn it, B.M.X. to keep it brief

And understand I free [?] chief


[Chorus]

Microphone microphone, it's calling me

Microphone microphone, it's drawing me

Microphone microphone, it's calling me

Microphone microphone, it’s all I see


[Verse 2]

Come build with this brother, lyric constructor

I'm knockin' poetics like Ursula Rucker

Don't like what I utter, man fuck you

See understand I love this, so I'm never reluctant

To drop some suckers on your suck-up friends

For your late night sessions when you blunted, you bump this

Reach into the front seat tapped the driver like "Hey pump this"

"Where'd you get this? I want this"

I'm not even present but you feel my presence

Your city's haunted

My sound is ethical, I get technical

When I teach from the manual on some bullshit

I talk trueness but can't [?]

'Cause I know strangler chose the M-I-C

I just wanna help your third eye see

Me, the rhyme crafter, the wisdom master

Broadcaster of this mic discussion that you trust in

The B.M.X


[Chorus]

Microphone microphone, it's calling me

Microphone microphone, it's drawing me

Microphone microphone, it's calling me

Microphone microphone, it's all I see


[Verse 3]

No doubt I do this for the money (For the money, for the money)

I want that personal, financial, capital gain

But what could I gain and claim?

What type of fame from exploiting black tragedy to generate a salary

That whole strategy is blasphemy

That's rap you see, that's killing black family

So understand me, I present militant

'Cause truly non-blacks just love nigga shit

But that's the silliness

So I keep my minds compass correct to get me through the wilderness

Sit back and build a bit so I can keep giving stimulus

Teach like the 5% but still pay rent

And as my sound trembles through the pavement

I drop statements that frees your enslavement

In the midst of all these made men I share these

I give you the black alternative like Dionne Farris

I'm out


[Chorus]

Microphone microphone, it's calling me

Microphone microphone, it's drawing me

Microphone microphone, it's calling me

Microphone microphone, it's all I see


[Outro]

Microphone microphone, it's all I see

It's all I see

It's all I see

It's all I see

It's all I see

It's all I see

It's all I see

It's all I see

It's all I see
