Verse 1





It was a summer mornin' at the age of eighteen

I'll start the story in the shower singin' Microphone Fiend

Tryna figure my routine for the day

There's mad things to do with no delay

In preparation for this jam around the way

I'm steppin' out the shower

Crossin' out the calender

Pickin' out the afro and pullin' out the gear

I hear the same sounds every mornin'

Sports centre the traffic

Your mom dukes screamin' in my ear

Dipped, yet my thoughts slip

Thinkin' that my plans just barely coincide with my money clip

But get a grip cos by the end of the day, bro

Your pockets'll be a-ight, even before the crowd says 'A-yo!'

I jet up to Lex, take the 6 to the R

My journey wouldn't feel as far if I had a car

5-O was there, so I paid my fare

But I didn't care 'til he gave a glare, who you tryna scare?

I'm passin' flyers to a crew of fly young sisters

A chicken from my past is actin' crab, so I had to diss her

My head bops and my fingers pops '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, lookin' forward to the night

It's official, Imma have this party packed tight like toilet tissue

What's the issue? I'm never comin' wack

We never lack the latest flavour, keepin' crates stacked

Buyin' 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 couldn'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

Let's see, between me and my peeps five deep

We still had no ride

So I hailed a taxi, since the yellow's don't stop

And it don't quit, you know we went gypsy

Arrivin' on the scene at about eight-fifteen

To the same routine, some sheisty brother frontin' 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 you're payin' for my ride

I'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 rep'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 you're far from next

And the next one to bump you from the back gets his chin checked

But I don't know about that cos I'm already in there

And I got ya grinnin' when you hear your favourite record spinnin'

So skip it, cos now you're bouncin' to the door

But if you're riffin' with the bouncers

You'll be bouncin' straight up off the floor

So if you're mad at the security

(Sadat X: It don't mean jack to me...that's how it's supposed to be)

As I mix Walk on By over Passin' Me By

Seem like everybody puffin' but I'm contact high

Off this fresh new wax, with the real brown sugars makin' eye contact

React, what's the haps? It's digits or excuses?

I'm pullin' out the pen and she supplies the data

Flavour, but for now I got tracks to spin

So if you're stayin' til the end we can handle this later

Torturin' the fader, the Tech 12 freaker

The bass from the amps shake the stickers off the speaker

I don'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
