Hey yo, Adam, what's up?
This is Mix Master Mike calling from Sacramento, um
I've been wanting to hook up with you, uh
Maybe on some tracks, I got some shit right here if you're in
I turned my turntable to a wah-wah pedal
It's called the tweak scratch
'Cause nobody can do it like Mix Master can
Come on now
I've got the D, double O, D double O style
Here we go again because it's been a while
Do me a favor, don't touch that dial
I rock from Manhattan to the Miracle Mile
My name's Mike D and I'm the ladies choice
I wanna get next to you like Rose Royce (Royce)
Y'all gather 'round to hear my golden voice
'Cause when it's time to rhyme you know I get noice
Cruising like a fan boat on the glade
He'll tweak ass your ass across the cross-fade
So watch your back when he takes the stage
Or he'll send you off on a naked rampage
Three MC's and one DJ
We be getting down with no delay
Mix Master Mike, what you got to say?
(Bug out to the mic all the time)
Sweet and sour like a tangerine
Fresh like a box of Krispy Kremes
Kenny Rogers' Gambler is my gambling theme
Mix Master Mike with the scratch routine
Always updated and in the know
You know we break it down going toe to toe
The bass is booming from down below
And Norton is chillin' with Mario
Well, my name is Ad Rock, I'm a Scorpio
Don't ask me 'cause I just don't know
I'm known to mop I'm known to glow
But don't get mad 'cause I gots to go
Three MC's and one DJ
We be getting down with no delay
Mix Master Mike, what you got to say?
(Gotta, gotta) gotta get down
Mix Master cut faster
Mix Master cut, cut, cut faster
All top secret and classified
I grab a hold of a mic and let the words glide
It's all hypnotic and sanctified
I never wanna let a bad day slip by
Now we be getting stupid in your area (huh)
Causin' all kinds of hysteria
My beats is sick like malaria
But don't worry I'll take care of ya
Me and Adam, Adam and Mario C
In the studio it's the place to be
To all the party people who are happy and free
With Mix Master Mike we're making history
Three MC's and one DJ
We be getting down with no delay
Mix Master Mike, what you got to say?
(Goddamn, that DJ make my day)
