The M.I.C
MF DOOM Lyrics

Feel the magnetism between us (The mic)
Sensing the strong connection between the rapper and the microphone.

Growing stronger and stronger (The mic)
The rapper's bond with the microphone becoming more intense with each passing moment.

Why don't we do it (The mic)
Asking why the rapper and the microphone haven't joined forces yet to create great music.

I was in a case out of state
The rapper was involved in a legal situation in a different location.

She was thirteen and good we had a hotter date
The rapper had sexual relations with someone who was underage and lied about their age.

It was just a number she never told she was knocked up
The underage girl became pregnant and didn't inform the rapper.

By the end of the summer chick almost had me locked up
The girl almost got the rapper in trouble with the law due to their relationship and age difference.

My aunt came and got and steadied the block
The rapper's aunt came to help him out and stabilize the situation.

We bounce to the yeti and I'm ready to rock
The rapper and his aunt went to a venue and he was prepared to give a performance.

With no attachments feelin a little loose
The rapper was unattached and feeling carefree.

Blowin up in every spot we had a little juice
The rapper was getting famous and gaining popularity in many locations.

We played the stage standin by the speaker and suddenly
The rapper was performing on stage, next to the artists when something unexpected happened.

Who tapped me I'm bout to get real ill
Someone touched the rapper and he was about to get angry.

Already ripped the whole club with metal face's steel wheel (The mic)
The rapper had already given an amazing performance, utilizing his microphone skillfully.

What a sweet surprise her with the fly eyes
The rapper was thrilled to see an attractive woman with captivating eyes.

And fine she pulled me to the sidelines
The woman took the rapper aside.

The mystery shot up with strong words
The woman began speaking cryptically with forceful language.

She was an intelligent wisdom and a song bird
The woman was smart and talented, with a beautiful voice.

I met her last week at the same place
The rapper had previously met this woman at the same location.

She stepped to me the same way at a no shame pace
The woman approached the rapper with the same boldness as before.

I'm off guard her game had me choked up
The rapper was caught off guard by the woman's advances and was left speechless.

Checkin me play testin me (The mic) till I spoked up
The woman was observing the rapper's musical abilities, testing them until he spoke up.

Seven whole days and nights and not a word from you (Not a word)
The rapper went an entire week without hearing from a certain person.

I was worried I thought I woulda heard from
The rapper was concerned and expected to hear from this person.

Stranger you know I never get enough of you
The rapper expressed that he enjoyed spending time with this stranger.

How you be comin through (The mic)
Asking how this stranger always seems to come through in a meaningful way, like a microphone.

Myself and two a alikes had ran through this crew of three
The rapper and two of his friends had sexual relations with three women.

In my earlier days they showed me things new to me
The rapper learned new things from these women when he was younger.

So we knew mad brothers who they had hit off
The women had also been with other men who the rapper and his friends knew.

They even used to watch each other just to rock they shit off
The couples would watch each other have sex for pleasure.

When slovenly two smile and I'm scopin her
The rapper noticed a woman who was smiling in a flirtatious manner.

Switchin off three times a night made them more opener
Having sex three times in one night made the couples more open to trying new things.

So you could love Allah or leave him the hell alone
The rapper was expressing that a person could either worship Allah or not, but should not pretend to in order to fit in.

Message from my god father aside a gold telephone
The rapper received a message from his godfather through a fancy telephone.

Many of my men went up in smoke
Many of the rapper's associates died.

While trickin with these chickens I ended up broke
The rapper spent all his money on women while he was playing around with them.

You find out who's ya mans when you broke
The rapper realized who his true friends were when he was broke.

Like a bad joke it's funny when you on you got mad folk
When everything is going well, people tend to flock to those who are successful, but it's a different story when things aren't so great.

I played the middle man in every little scam
The rapper was involved in many schemes, acting as the middleman.

Some as complex as a hip hop album riddle jam
Some of the schemes he was involved in were as complex as a hip hop album with intricate lyrics.

I find it's quite intriguing as I think about rappers
The rapper was reflecting on how many rappers are involved in shady activities.

Walk upon me speaking with stinkin mouth (About what?)
People approached the rapper talking about negative things.

About this and that from sneakers to hats to gats
People talked about superficial things such as shoes, hats, and guns.

Freak chicks with the cooty cat raps
Women who rap about their vaginas were also a topic of discussion.

And it's that ?
Asking why people are always talking about these superficial things.

I'm at a black tie affair with a diva with the fatty fat
The rapper was at a formal event with an attractive and curvy woman.

I play the back steady on the humble
The rapper stays in the background and remains humble.

But be right up front when we get ready to rumble
He steps up to the front when it's time to perform.

I gave her breath control ask her who she learned off
The rapper taught the woman how to control her breathing, possibly for a singing or rapping performance.

Coulda took her back to the crib somehow was turned off
Although he could have taken the woman home with him, he was no longer interested for some reason.

Me and you was overdue
The rapper and someone else were long overdue for a meeting or collaboration.

From gettin together baby
This meeting is long overdue.

I always knew our love was meant to be (The Mic)
The rapper always knew he was meant to create great music with his microphone.
