Gradient - Grabbin' the Mic lyrics

[Chorus: Gradient] Keep it steady when we're on the beat Smash that new track When it's Ogar Burl and me Cats ask who's that When the beat make you tap your feet That's that boom bap Why hello, we'll be your MCs for today! Stay rappin' it right When we grabbin' the mic [Verse 1: Ogar Burl] And when I'm grabbin' the mic Sit back and listen if you're lackin' the fight You can bite raps, or you can think of where your life's at Turn it into poetry and burn it to ignite that I quite fast bypa** half-a**ed plots Then flare up the next with the fire that I've got I've got necks goin', noddin' heads 'til they strain And pa** the controller; I've got next game I play an emcee like Tetris, get it? When the pieces come together, it's connected I tested the water when I jumped the hell in You fell in and froze and you're slowly meltin' You dig your own grave, I make you lay down Could say that I'm the bully on the playground Yo, it ain't way profound, it's just better So flock to the beat, sheep cede to the shepherd [Chorus] [Verse 2: Gradient] And when I'm grabbin' the mic I'm like a scientist when I'm in the lab and I write Now they askin' why is this kid rappin' he's white But I got love for the hip-hop I happen to bite off While Nas, KRS-One and Kool G Were rappin' in cyphers I was crappin' in diapers So I show respect to the men who came first I ain't half steppin' on a Daddy Kane verse But I got the spirit of hip-hop I mirror the tip-top You're hearin' my sh** drop You hear me comin' like I'm wearin' some flip-flops And I got you noddin' to the beat ‘till it stops The New Deal, depression remover I'm FDR, you're President Hoover I'm like Ghostface with the clientele he's on More ba** than the Seinfeld theme song [Chorus]
