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
