If I lay low and let the day go, it'll slow my payroll   Aye yo, I'm a terrorize charge and slay shows   Ra slay flows go as far as the Barbados   On the turntable, sound like tornadoes      My style is performed like tropical storms   You're not to get on, the whole spot will get torn   I keep the metropolitan hollerin' and bring the dollars in   Keep the models followin', wise as king Solomon      Come slow through the jungle like an animal   Invade any land, I go like General Hannibal   From Long Island to Queens light up the New York scenes   All the way to New Orleans and everything in between      Left to go, bless a show in Mexico   Next thing I know it's extra cold, I see Eskimo's   It's time to rock, get it hot soon as I get in there   Spit in they ear, so flow they froze and I disappear      It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me   It's inherited, it runs in the family   It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me   It's inherited, it runs in the family      They said I was ahead of my time or either here before   To see the idea clear it takes a year or more   Now times that by the years, I reign straight seven   No hear for four years, still multiplied by eleven      The silence's a set back make 'em regret that   One way to get back is violence and wet cats   But hold your head black or I'll never rap again   Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in      Now that was two years ago and if cats start interfering'   Then I'ma go back to the gat and racketeerin'   My sabotage is camouflage and espionage   You ain't havin' Ra so don't test the God      I'm takin' all orders, I can't afford extorter's   I hit 'em in the head with a hundred dollars in quarters   So warn a friend, tell 'em it's on again   If it's a freestyle bust in a park I want in      It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me   It's inherited, it runs in the family   It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me   It's inherited, it runs in the family      I managed to get paid for a decade, now add three years on to that   Perform with a knack, yes I was born to rap   The mic, Lebanon Teflon don is back   I strike with better bombs and armed to attack      So reload the van, go ahead, let 'em in   Every tour's a war and I'm on the road again   Surprise a town, the place it's live and loud   We vibin' now, I go wild and dive in the crowd      Never hit the ground, they catch me and carry me around   Then put me right back on stage to shut it down   From New York to Cali, Japan and I-tali   I'm known as the microphone Muhammad Ali      I'm worldwide, my brothers be biggin' me up   Keep the girls occupied lovin', diggin' me what   Ain't around, when I come to town they mad glad   Like Saddam, they even say I'm the bomb in Baghdad      It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me   It's inherited, it runs in the family   It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me   It's inherited, it runs in the family      It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me   It's inherited, it runs in the family   It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me   It's inherited, it runs in the family
