When the 2 Is on the Mic
Audio Two Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When Milk is on the mic you can say I'm milkin
All the rhymes I write are made of silk and steel
Yes y'all, I know the deal
Right about now I'll tell you how I feel
When Milk is on the tables yes y'all I said it
I scratch like this!
When I'm in a room it's science I'm droppin'
Supportin' K-Rock as he goes hoe hoppin'
Effect on the voice make the voice sound milky
The smooth rhymes made silky
I can rock a rhyme in two minutes or less
That's on a bad day, at my best
At any time I can change my style
That is because I'm versatile
Like Nike's on my feet, and
Bobby's on the beat, yo
Giz is at the board, hey
Gary press record!
My colors red and white
I rock it day or night, why'know
My dad's got my back
Yo Giz this style is wack, so bust it
"To the beat y'all"
When Giz has got the mic you can say I'm juicin'
Other MC's as I start to get loose and rhyme
One time at the drop of a dime
Now I'ma clock the mic, now I'ma shock the mic
Now I'ma rock the mic while I go for mine
One day while I was walkin', girlies out stalkin'
Brothers on the corner, sorta like hawkin'
My style for a while cause I'm very versatile
I can grab the mic and rock a four minute mile
Now as I kept steppin', brothers kept sleppin'
Or should I say sleepin', while I was just keepin'
The beat in my stride you know like a dance
Death defyin' rope, just to enhance my look
Like a book or a well written rap ("To the beat y'all")
If I was (?) I'd be from the tap
Okay y'all, I'm almost there
Rockin' down the street with all the fresh gear
Yo Milk, grab this mic, cause I'm outta here
Yo Giz, where's your girl? Go get her
Yo pull out the keys to your Jetta!
I'm MC Milk D, that's DJ Gizmo
We're the Audio Two
And we're in full effect, boys!

Or should I say sleepin', while I was just keepin'
People were not realizing my potential while I continued to strive forward
The beat in my stride you know like a dance
I move to the beat of my own music in a way that's similar to dancing
Death defyin' rope, just to enhance my look
I'm pushing boundaries and taking risks with my style to look better
Like a book or a well written rap ('To the beat y'all')
My rhymes flow seamlessly like a well-written book and are enhanced by the music
If I was (?) I'd be from the tap
I don't quite understand this lyric and what it means
Okay y'all, I'm almost there
Just a bit more and I'll be at the top of my game
Rockin' down the street with all the fresh gear
I'm walking around with my fresh, fashionable clothing, looking cool
Yo Milk, grab this mic, cause I'm outta here
Milk, take over the mic from me because I'm leaving
Yo Giz, where's your girl? Go get her
Gizmo, your girlfriend is around, go talk to her
Yo pull out the keys to your Jetta!
Give me the keys to your car so I can take it for a ride

I'm Milk D, the rapper, and this is Gizmo, DJ and producer
We're the Audio Two
Together, we are the rap group Audio Two
