Sometimes I wonder why the hell am I even here at all
Every morning I get up to fall
I work so goddamn hard trying to make them pieces fit
But everything I do it just ends up sh**
I'm lying here I'm broke as hell I feel so low
I'm goin nowhere not fast but slow
I look around there aint no one and I'm alone
The only thing I got is my microphone
My microphone, my microphone
The only thing I got is my microphone
My microphone, my microphone
The only thing I got is my microphone
Hey girl, I'm sorry that that sh** didn't work out quite like we planned
I'm just a f** up and I f**ed up again
What the f** more can I say, you don't wanna hear any more anyway
Let's back up these memories and store them away
You can keep the tvs and the dvds and the cds
And the picture frames just bring me pain
You can keep that
I don't need that
And anyway, I don't wanna bring much more than I am allowed
I only got a little room inside my grandmas house
I guess we're growing up, we ain't no kids no more
You know I love you even though I say I'm not sure
But I know that it don't mean much when I'm walking out the door
And everything's been said about ten thousand times before
So I'll just grab my bags leave you alone
There's just one more thing that i need and that's my microphone
My microphone, my microphone
The only thing I got is my microphone
My microphone, my microphone
The only thing I got is my microphone
Hey kid, come here
Sit down right over here
I can see you're losing calm
'Cause things ain't work with me and you're mom
And you see my bags are packed, your little stomach's queasy
And I understand 'cause I've been there myself and I know this sh** ain't easy
That last dude donated s**m and he slid in and out well
I'm here to tell you, that dude was a b**h that dude was a coward
And well I guess you know if it's cool with you tomorrow
I could pick you up at school, I got nothing else to do
I got some beats to bang out but I could make some time to hang out
We could play some soccer baseball whatever occurs gotta face the wall(?) and
I could teach you how to keep it real and still be hip hop
All politely smiling and when they drive away yell f** the cops
(Ha) Don't tell your mom that I said that
But let's get back what I was saying bout how we could just chill and roam not have to be alone
And in time we'll grow and we'll see what time will show though
There ain't no would should or could cause I'm stayin here for good
Remember when I told you never quit we make it happen (Yeah)
I'ma take this microphone here to the top with this here rappin'
But if somehow i should fail and my dreams whither and die
Maybe I'd get over it as all of them years went by
And we could take some time
And I'd show you how to rhyme
Like Run DMC said it's tricky
But you're smart, you'll learn quickly
And maybe then life wouldn't feel like a chance I'd blown
Cause if you wanted I would give you my microphone
My microphone, my microphone
Because I love you I would give you my microphone
My microphone my microphone
Who here could ever f** with my microphone
My microphone, my microphone
Who here could ever touch it
My microphone, my microphone
Because I love you
