Verse 1
It was a summer morninand' at the age of eighteen
Iand'll start the story in the shower singinand' microphone fiend
Tryna figure my routine for the day
Thereand's mad things to do with no delay
In preparation for this jam around the way
Iand'm steppinand' out the shower
Crossinand' out the calender
Pickinand' out the afro and pullinand' out the gear
I hear the same sounds every morninand'
Sports centre the traffic
Your mom dukes screaminand' in my ear
Dipped, yet my thoughts slip
Thinkinand' that my plans just barely coincide with my money clip
But get a grip cos by the end of the day, bro
Your pocketsand'll be a-ight, even before the crowd says and'a-yo!and'
I jet up to lex, take the 6 to the r
My journey wouldnand't feel as far if i had a car
5-o was there, so i paid my fare
But i didnand't care and'til he gave a glare, who you tryna scare?
Iand'm passinand' flyers to a crew of fly young sisters
A chicken from my past is actinand' crab, so i had to diss her
My head bops and my fingers pops and'til i reach my stop
Then i mush my way through to the record shop
Can i get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Indoors or an outside jam
Can i get it if ya understand?
Verse 2
-------
As i exit stage right, lookinand' forward to the night
Itand's official, imma have this party packed tight like toilet tissue
Whatand's the issue? iand'm never cominand' wack
We never lack the latest flavour, keepinand' crates stacked
Buyinand' records by the pack
With my knapsack filled as i chilled
On the c-train, simple and plain, let me explain
I had to check my man gee for his m-i-c
Cos the way we be mine simply couldnand't maintain
As usual gee was on c.p time
But he came through with this mic, plus this bleeder light, right
My next step was to transport the system
Letand's see, between me and my peeps five deep
We still had no ride
So i hailed a taxi, since the yellowand's donand't stop
And it donand't quit, you know we went gypsy
Arrivinand' on the scene at about eight-fifteen
To the same routine, some sheisty brother frontinand' on my green
Never that, nah mean? check this out, black
Skip the non-sense cos imma say this just once
I want the money we discussed last week
Plus youand're payinand' for my ride
Iand'll take my loot upfront with no stunts, bro
Put your chequebooks away, no pay no j
No j no sound play, you make no profit, understand?
Plus your name was on the flyers so your repand'll be dead
What he said? not a thing, he put the cash in my hand...
Can i get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Indoors or an outside jam
Can i get it if ya understand?
Can i get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Old school or a new school jam
Can i get it if ya understand?
Verse 3
-------
On the line perplexed, fixed to flex cos youand're far from next
And the next one to bump you from the back gets his chin checked
But i donand't know about that cos iand'm already in there
And i got ya grinninand' when you hear your favourite record spinninand'
So skip it, cos now youand're bouncinand' to the door
But if youand're riffinand' with the bouncers
Youand'll be bouncinand' straight up off the floor
So if youand're mad at the security
(sadat x: it donand't mean jack to me...thatand's how itand's supposed to be)
As i mix walk on by over passinand' me by
Seem like everybody puffinand' but iand'm contact high
Off this fresh new wax, with the real brown sugars makinand' eye contact
React, whatand's the haps? itand's digits or excuses?
Iand'm pullinand' out the pen and she supplies the data
Flavour, but for now i got tracks to spin
So if youand're stayinand' til the end we can handle this later
Torturinand' the fader, the tech 12 freaker
The bass from the amps shake the stickers off the speaker
I donand't claim to have the loudest sound in town
But from the inside it felt like the ground shaked from lenox to bleecker
Circles form, dance contests
Most know how i do while the rest make requests
But imma play what you wanna hear anyway
So get your boogie on and parley
Can i get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Old school or a new school jam
Can i get it if ya understand?
Can i get it one time for the selector?
Does he come correct in your sector?
Outside or an indoor jam
Can i get it if ya understand?
