How Many Mics Lyrics

    [CHORUS (REPEAT 2X):]
    How Many Mic's Do We Rip on the Daily
    Say me say Many Moni, Say me say manymanymany

    [LAURYN:]
    I get mad frustrated when I rhyme
    Thinking of all the kids who try to do this
    For all the wrong reasons
    Seasons change, mad things rearrange
    But it all stays the same like the love Doctor Strange
    I'm tame like the rapper,
    Get red like a snapper when they do that
    Got your whole block saying"TRUE DAT"
    If only they knew that,
    It was you who was irregular,
    Sold your soul for some secular
    Muzak that's wack,
    Plus you use that loop over and over
    Claiming that you got a new style
    Your attempts are futile, Ooo chile
    Your puerile,
    Brain waves are sterile
    You can't create, you just wait to take, my tape's
    Laced with malice
    Hands get calloused
    From grippin' microphones from here to Dallas
    Go ask Alice if you don't believe me,
    I get Inner Visions like Stevie
    See me, ascend from the chalice like the weed be
    Indeed be like Khalil Muhammad
    MC's make me vomit
    I get controversial
    Freak your style with no rehearsal
    Ooo, contraire mon frere
    Don't you even go there
    Me without a mic is like a beat without a snare
    I dare to tear into your ego,
    We go, way back like some ganja and pelequo
    Or Coleco-Vision
    My mind makes incisions in your anatomy
    And I'll back this with Deuteronomy
    Or Leviticus, God made this word
    You can't get with this
    Sweet like licorice,
    Dangerous like syphillis, yeah.

    [CHORUS (REPEAT 4X):]
    How Many Mic's Do We Rip on the Daily
    Say me say Many Moni, Say me say manymanymany

    [CLEF:]
    I used to be underrated
    Now I take iron, makes my s*** constipated
    I'm more concentrated.
    So on my day off,
    With David Sonnenberg I play golf
    Run through Crown Heights screaming out Mazel Tov
    Problem with no man
    Before black, I'm first human
    Appetite to write like Frederick Douglass with a slave hand
    Street pressure word to poppa, I ain't goin' under
    One day I'll have a label and make deals with Tommy Motolla
    Momma always told me "You're one in a million"
    Always watch your back, never tangle with Haitian Sicilians
    Now I got a record deal, "How does it feel?"
    I'm never gonna survive unless I get crazy like Seal.
    Cause the whole world's out of order
    So at night the fiend's dance on Grease with John Travolta
    One got slaughtered as he coughed blood from his mouth
    The other tried to duck and caught a left with my Guiness Stout
    Brother brother can't you get this through your head
    It's a set up by the fed's they're scoping us with their Infra-reds.

    [CHORUS (REPEAT 3X):]
    How Many Mic's Do We Rip on the Daily
    Say Me Say Many Moni Say me say manymanymany

    [PRAZ:]
    Too many MC's not enough Mic's
    Exit your show like I exit the turnpike
    Dice and dynamite like Dolomite
    Double deuce delight, I don't Dick Van Dyke
    Startlight to starbrite the freaks come out at night
    Like my man Wyclef (I wear my sunglasses at night)
    And my panache will mosh your entourage
    Squash your squad and hide your body under my garage.
    And when the cops come lookin'
    I'll be bookin' to Brooklyn
    Leave the trails broken flippin' tokens to Hoboken
    A clean getaway like Alec Baldwin
    Drivin' in my fast car playin' Tracy Chapman

    [CHORUS (Repeat to end):]
    How Many Mic's Do We Rip on the Daily
    Say me say Many Moni, Say me say manymanymany
