Mic check
Mace Around The World Lyrics

Microphone check 1 2, 1 2
Testing the microphone, making sure it's working properly

So sick that I got the flu
Extremely talented and skilled

So quick to rhymes
Able to effortlessly come up with clever lyrics

Creating rhyme stew
Mixing various elements of rhyme to create something unique

On a ripping track by the, sick group
Performing on a great instrumental by an amazing group

Which is myself, ya know I cause hell
Referring to oneself as a powerful force in the music industry

Here's the scoop
Now, let me tell you something important

A loop goes through my head
Constantly thinking and brainstorming ideas

When I'm thinking up lyrics
Specifically when I'm composing rhymes

Never stoop to the wack level and I can prove this
Never lower my standards in terms of lyrical quality

Just like Q-Tip, I rap in abstract
Similar to the rapper Q-Tip, I express myself creatively

Take in my surroundings
Observe and absorb the environment around me

Then express myself through that, I'm sounding
Channeling my experiences into my music, it's reflective

Great, make no mistake I elevate
I am confident and continue to improve

Meditate, sit back because I know that I'm
Pause, relax, and reflect, knowing I'm on the right path

Gonna levitate way above these other rappers
Rising above and surpassing other artists in skill

Thinking that they cool but they never gonna capture
Believing they're good, but they won't achieve the same level of greatness

What I'm after, they're all bastards
Referring to other rappers as unworthy competitors

Thinking that they, could spit it faster
Believing that speed alone makes them better, but it doesn't

But I just keep going, y'all know that
Continuing to strive and succeed, everyone recognizes it

Even in my past I was ahead of yo ass
Even in the past, I was already more skilled and successful than you

I just process it
I analyze and understand what's happening

When it comes through my brain
When I encounter new information or ideas

I know that I'm not stopping
Determined to keep going, never giving up

Mind stimulation is near so don't fear
Feeling mentally stimulated and motivated, no need to be afraid

This occasion, rocking the mic like a stone mason
Taking this opportunity to display my skills on the microphone

Chasing my pace constantly racing myself
Continuously pushing myself to improve and surpass my previous achievements

Trying to catch up the the evolution of my pulse
Striving to keep up with my own growth and development

What else it happening
What else is going on, what's the next challenge

Now I'm coming at ya, better know
I'm approaching you directly, be prepared

You never heard anything, this unique before
This is an entirely new and distinct sound you've never experienced

So take a peak inside, and reap the ride
Explore and discover the depths of my music, enjoy the journey

Come eye to eye, don't nullify
Engage with me directly, don't ignore or dismiss

Your existence is your persistence
Your presence and perseverance are significant

So make a difference, don't be a pretense
Have a positive impact, don't be superficial or fake

Stay up on the fence and dance
Don't be indecisive, take action and enjoy life

Fall down, but no broken bones, no chance
Experience setbacks, but never deterred or broken

A life changing event, that you saw
An impactful moment that you witnessed

Thought that you were gonna get out of it
Believed you could escape or avoid its effects

But I'm so cold that I'll, never thaw
I'm emotionally detached and unyielding

So much heat, never will be defeated
I possess intense passion and determination, never to be defeated

I know that I will meet it
I'm prepared to face any challenge head-on

When I gotta, go into the battle
When I need to confront and overcome obstacles

Gonna do what I do, I will not skedattle
I will stay and fight, not run away

You acting like a tattle tale
You're behaving like a childish informant

Back in elementary you know that I sent to Be
During our school days, I was always superior

The sickest, ever, in here, but I, get clever
The most skillful and impressive artist, but I constantly improve

Our brain are like planets
Our minds are vast and complex, like planets

They're just that big, like a volcano
They have immense capacity and power, like a volcano

We just get pissed with all the cortexes
We get frustrated with the parts of our brain controlling our reflexes

That control our reflexes, playing with a tennis racket
The areas responsible for our automatic responses, metaphorically playing tennis

In Texas, against some Mexicans, with a replica
Imagining a scenario of playing tennis against Mexicans in Texas with a replica racket

Of Johnny McEnroe's racket ya
Using a racket similar to Johnny McEnroe's, known for his skill in tennis

Another story for another time
A separate anecdote, not relevant for now

We just love living in a shell
We enjoy being in our comfort zones and avoiding risks

Gotta rhyme
Have to express myself through rhyming

Going to space, hyper speed like Solo
Ascending to new heights rapidly, similar to Han Solo's speed

Flying like a Falcon, go for the dolo
Moving swiftly like the Millennium Falcon, doing it solo

With my mic, and my vocals
With my microphone and my voice

Skirting the stars through a black hole
Navigating through space and time, exploring the unknown

Fourth Dimensional rocket ships
Exploring beyond the traditional dimensions, advancing rapidly

Alive in your cortex, you look more vexed
Thriving within your consciousness, causing you to be more puzzled

As the hex takes hold
As the spell or influence affects you

X marks the spot on the map
Referring to a specific location or goal

I'm back to snap my fingers
I'm back and ready to assert my dominance

Like Thanos, let me play some piano
Referring to the snap from Avengers: Infinity War, followed by a desire to play the piano

In the Cantina, 8 arms like Alfred Molina
Playing the piano in a bar, having multiple arms like Alfred Molina's character in Spider-Man
