Alright Hear This (Remastered 2009|Explicit)

Alright he's scratching it right now

Cuttin' the record back and forth against the needle

Back and forth back and forth makin' it scratch

But let me tell you something

Don't try it at home with your dad's stereo

Only under hip-hop supervision alright

Alright hear this

So you wanna be an MC huh

Alright hear this

So you wanna be an MC huh

Because I grab the microphone and I pick it up

And then I f**k it up and then I turn it in

And then I turn it out got the body rockin' sound

And then you know I’m gonna get down

Eat a Scooby snack and take disco nap

Because I’m shopping at Sears

Cause I don't buy at the Gap

Sending this one out to all the funky inspirations

Pretty Purdie on the drums with the beat relations

Well I’m working on rhymes

They're coming line by line

Trying to put what I feel into word and rhymes

I've got a feeling coming on

I’ve got to make some sh*t

A little something stupid for the twisted and sick

Because I drive like a maniac on the streets

And I don't give f**k cause I’ve got the beats

Got my nuts swingin' from left to right and

Right to left and I’m death defying

Alright hear this

So you wanna be an MC huh

Alright hear this

So you wanna be an MC huh

I spin my fortune on a wheel like Sajak

Here's "The Payback;" Keep going strong

Like since the way-back

I try to be myself but I lose track

Cause the sh*t gets complicated

Now I’ve got to get back

As we learn to breed love for one another

In these times of melding cultures

I give respect for what's been borrowed and lent

I know this music comes down from African descent

Because I don't need a magic potion

Let me talk about backfield in motion

My girls got cheeks for weeks and I’m happy

You know I’m a sneak like my old grand pappy

I gotta give thanks to my man Archie Shepp

For staying true to inspiration and I don't half step

So I kick out the jams and tell you who I am

And I talk to the people like Les McCann

Alright hear this

So you wanna be an MC huh

Alright hear this

So you wanna be an MC huh

Alright hear this

Alright hear this

I ask God for a rhyme or two

Alright hear this

A little somethin' for the wise as well as the fool

A little somethin' to effect a little taste of change

For the together and the strong as well as the deranged

I'll do you right like Bobby Knight

And then I’m rappin’ on the mic to the Broadway light

Stomp my hands I clap my feet and

I'm buggin' off Yusef Lateef

I got a match to my a** and I’ma keep it lit

I need to get some cash call my accountant Britt

I'm rushin' around town takin' care of my functions

Always got one more thing so forget about function

We create this world and the problems go on

Create our lives and the things that go wrong

So to the deaf the blind look around and listen

To what it is you want and for what you're wishin'

Alright hear this

Oh yeah

So you wanna be an MC huh

Alright hear this

So you wanna be an MC huh

Alright hear this
