0:32Say if I was your M I C
0:34Do you think you could treat me properly?
0:37Instead of droppin' me and abusin' me
0:40Sometimes I wish y'all would stop usin' me
0:42Say if I was your M I C
0:45Do you think you could treat me properly?
0:47Instead of droppin' me and abusin' me
0:50Sometimes I wish y'all would stop usin' me
0:53What's going on hundreds of people stare on my direction
0:56There are a few others who I resemble in my section
0:59The house lights dim then I am placed under a spotlight
1:01The others disappear like if my name was Bill Cartwright
1:04Amongst chatter I hear footsteps headed toward me
1:06Oh my God there is a wack emcee headed for me
1:09To the wire I'm connected unable to exit
1:12Escape is impossible oh no he's got me
1:15In a choke hold please make him put me back
1:17Why me black I scream frantically causing feedback
1:20The crowd reacts with ruckus then him and his crew touch us
1:22There has to be away to escape from his sweaty clutches
1:25I'm loosing it slowly becoming suicidal
1:28'Cause of his weak recidale crowds become homicidal
1:30I'm trapped here wondering why the others didn't warn me
1:33I could've avoided this wack nigga spittin' on me
1:36Microphone respect one two one two
1:38Say without a microphone what you gon' do?
1:41Say microphone respect two one two one
1:43Yo without a M I C what you gonna do son?
1:46Yo microphone respect one two one two

1:54Yo without a M I C what you gonna do son?
1:57Say if I was your M I C
1:59Do you think you could treat me properly?
2:02Instead of droppin' me and abusin' me
2:05Sometimes I wish y'all would stop usin' me
2:08Say if I was your M I C
2:10Do you think you could treat me properly?
2:13Instead of droppin' me and abusin' me
2:15Sometimes I wish y'all would stop usin' me
2:18Some people get cocky once they realise they got to me
2:21Anyone can turn me on but not everybody can rock me
2:24Perpitrating dopeness your presentations sloppy
2:26Too much for you to handle so you suckers often drop me
2:29In this line of work I get around more than a little bit
2:32Hearing idiots trying to read rhymes when they're illiterate
2:34Don't know who the F with this foam don't protect shit
2:37Drowning in saliva now I feel infested
2:40Saturated in wackness y'all abusing your friend
2:42Don't be mad when they sad you can never use me again
2:45I know I'm not perfect and at times unreliable
2:48But I'm the only reason why your voice is recognizable
2:50Don't wanna blow me so now you're smackin' my head
2:53How 'bout you quit yelling and try rappin' instead
2:55I miss being embraced now I'm greet with a strangle
2:58When will they realize I'm to be praised not mangled
3:01Microphone respect one two one two
3:03Say without a microphone what you gon' do?
3:06Say microphone respect two one two one
3:09Yo without a M I C what you gonna do son?
