[J-Live]
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 cuz 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
Cuz 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, spit good, rock good
No need to knock on wood
Know why? Cuz I'm a
[Chorus x3]
"M.....C"
"E-M-C-E-E" [Rakim]
[J-Live]
Know why, cuz 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 Motive 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 Clamency and Manificence
Cunning and Marvelous, Crafty yet Malevolent to all the Cultivators of Mindless Crap
I Really Recognize the Rude Ramblings of those Random Riff Raffs cuz they just Rap and I
[Chorus x4]
"The M" [cut up]
"The C" [cut up]
"The MC" [cut up]
[J-Live]
["M"] I gonna let you in on how I
["C"] On the day to day doing what I do to these
["M"]-icroscopic sitopic ass
["C"] Now 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"]-brace doubt, taking no as a vitamin
[C]onstantly moving motivating and proving
[M]any are called but few get chosen
[C]lowns posing in a post and get frozen
[M]ore often than not I get hot like
["C"]4 on the stage blowing up the spot
Just for ["M"], her, you and then All of the Above
It's [C]ontagious how the crowd show me love
With a ["M"]-I-C in my hand
[C]oming to a venue to you, I better make you say
[Chorus]

The I
The V
The E
