[B-Real]

I'm systematic, hydromatic

I'm unorthodox like Lenny Kravitz

I don't play guitar, still on your radar

And you can help by screamin, “FUCK YOU HATERS!”

I’m so hungry, I’ll take what’s on your plate

Look in your face like I’ma hit you with the milk crate

They say he one of the greatest, he’s a animal

My appetite is enormous like that of a cannibal

I eat emcees up, you might wanna ease up

I squeeze the trigger like I squeeze on a C cup

The beat is like crack now, you might wanna re up

Pete Rock, hit us with the heat rock, ease up!

I’m on the block straight, smokin' up a Ozone

You in my shit, steady beggin' for my homegrown

The beat is on, the heat is on

If Sen Dog’s Cheech, I must be Chong


[Chorus]

When I got this mic (i'mma light it up)

When I step on stage (i'mma light it up)

Go ahead and pass the blunt (i'mma light it up)

Everybody everybody (i'mma light it up)

When I got this mic (i'mma light it up)

When I step on stage (i'mma light it up)

Go ahead and pass the blunt (i'mma light it up)

If you're invited, you're invited (i'mma light it up)


[Verse 2: Sen Dog]

I'm so amazing the joint's a blazin'

I can rip a mic on any occassion

My forfeit, your stretched like a limousine for hatin'

Hip hop so we took the nation by storm

A million fans stormed the the stages

The times are changes, my 9 is dangerous

My steel is stainless it will leave you brainless

Young and famous, we run LA

Its all city and can nobody take it

Honey's are waitin'

Backstage at the show they wanna run with the crew

Half-ska but as cool as a fan

With theis moc in my hand Imma stay true to my friends

With this gun in my hand, I stay true to the streets

If you say you are a dealer you have to prove it me


[Chorus]

When I got this mic (i'mma light it up)

When I step on stage (i'mma light it up)

Go ahead and pass the blunt (i'mma light it up)

Everybody everybody (i'mma light it up)

When I got this mic (i'mma light it up)

When I step on stage (i'mma light it up)

Go ahead and pass the blunt (i'mma light it up)

If you're invited, you're invited (i'mma light it up)


[B-Real:]

So much game, fools beggin' for a seminar

You want a bong hit, homie what you beggin' for?

I bring the static when you act dramatic

Got a mix up my sleeve call me Mister Magic


[Sen Dog:]

It's automatic, Pete Rock and the Hill

Now that's a classic, ya gots to have it

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

We'll put you in the dirt if you fuck with' us BUST


[B-Real:]

I'm a natural and I ain't neutral

Come and learn somethin', homie, you can be my pupil

Get out of pocket? Sorry! Yes, my homies'll boot you

Film it on the cam then we put it on YouTube


[Sen Dog:]

They try to say I operate with a screw loose

And who am I to say I ain't packin' a deuce-deuce?

Last day out quick to give you a new suit

And a pine box that you better get used to


[Chorus]

When I got this mic (i'mma light it up)

When I step on stage (i'mma light it up)

Go ahead and pass the blunt (i'mma light it up)

Everybody everybody (i'mma light it up)

When I got this mic (i'mma light it up)

When I step on stage (i'mma light it up)

Go ahead and pass the blunt (i'mma light it up)

If you're invited, you're invited (i'mma light it up)
