[Verse 1]

Straight from New York, where Black music was modernized

J-Live, all wise and civilized, always energized

All rights reserved and recognized

All rhymes supersized and come with fries

FOR THE FAT SHIT!

Stacked with fat backed opinions

Pinpoint accurate reflections

Timeless selections

For your listening pleasures

Where rhymes be the bars minutes or miles can measure

Can you believe I do this shit for a living?

Politic and positvin' and get paid for poems given

On records, tapes, CDs, MP3s

Radios, shows in the states and overseas, yo

It's ill 'cause my role models are my peers now

And my thoughts'll be in your ears for years now

I'm trying to play my cards right

'Cause, despite joys and pains I felt, several hands were dealt

Yet I live good, look good, eat good, dress good

Stroke good, rest good

Even if I didn't – I could think good, write good, s

Sit good, rock good, no need to knock on wood

Know why? 'Cause I'm a–

[Hook: Scatchesb]

"M... C"

"E-M-C-E-E"

[Verse 2]

Know why? 'Cause I'm a

Master of Ceremony

Making a Comeback and

Moving the Crowd with Mad Charisma

Most of y'all Cornballs

Mingle at Concerts

Making a Claim but you know who is the ["MC"]

More Concentration on My Cadence Might Cloud your mind

Controlling your Movement Capaciously

My Capacity to Massacre Crumbs

And Motivate Change Most Certainly Makes you Consider me

Champion, Microphone is Consistently

Modelling Candor of Magnificence

See My Conduct is Mute to Cajolery

I Maintain with Clemency and Magnificence

Cunning and Marvelous

Crafty, yet Malevolent

To all Cultivators of Mindless Crap

I Really Recognize the Rude Ramblings of those Random Riff Raffs

'Cause they just Rap and I

[Chorus: scratched]

"The M" – "The C" – "The MC"

"The M" – "The C" – "The MC"

"The M" – "The C" – "The MC"

"The M" – "The C" – "The MC"

[Verse 3: J-Live]

["M"] I gonna let you in on how I ["C"]?

On the day to the day, doing what I do to these

["M"]-icroscopic size topic-ass

["C"]-nile naysayers think they can stop it, I

["M"]-ake money and made money, even when I

["C"]-ouldn't make music, I was still makin' dollars, and

["M"]-braced doubt, taking "no" as a vitamin

["C"] Constantly moving, motivating, improving, and

["M"] Many are called, but yet, few get chosen

["C"] Clowns posing and opposing get frozen

["M"] More often than not, I get hot

Like ["C"]-4 on the stage, blowing up the spot

Just for ["M"], her, you, and them – all of the above

It's ["C"] contagious how the crowd show me love

With a ["M"]-I-C in my hand, don't think it's true?

Watch and ["C"], coming to a venue to you, I bet I make you say

[Chorus: scratched]

"The M" – "The C" – "The MC"

"The M" – "The C" – "The MC"

"The M" – "The C" – "The MC"

"The M" – "The C" – "The MC"
