Geronimo's work with the Cash Money Click led Irv to form a relationship with rapper Ja Rule. The 1997 album Vendetta saw him with a higher profile, working with Puff Daddy-related acts the LOX and the producer himself on the single "Nothin' Move but the Money. In 2003, he released his album Long Road Back.
A well needed and appreciated hiatus gave Mic the time he needed to be able to continue to contribute to hip hop in the way he always has. lyrical dexterity, content, and creativity all are hallmarks of this veteran from that irreplacable “golden era”.
Giving himself the time needed to constantly sharpen his skills, the “Master I.C.” is now poised to re-enter the arena with his long awaited return EP entitled “Lone Wolf”. That will be available for download June 1st 2010.
Lone Wolf is a recollection, an introspective and a rebirth for Mic. With many of the usual suspects on board, the Ep is a pre cursor to a tide of material Mic has been amassing and making ready for the public. The lead single entitled “Check The Bezel” is a Hillie Hill produced hybrid of jazziness with Mic's patented street wise intellect. Featuring newcomer “Yung French” on the hook, the song is infectious and easily satisfies fans of Geronimo new and old. With production by B Money (Hustler's Ambition 50 Cent, The Prelude Jay-Z), Ty Fyffe and Pete Rock, “Lone Wolf” is evidence that talent is one thing, but a gift never leaves or fades. In addition Mic has also brought on board allies from overseas with the bounce track “One” produced by Denmark's DJ Noize.
The Natural
Mic Geronimo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Notoriously enterprising, vocals for analyzing
I move, defiant speech more deeper than Poseidon
Give me, the highest esteem like hundreds of cream
Lick a shot off like Spock with them laser beams
Its the, greatest vocabularian in era
My styles vary like leathers, niggas rocking the serum
Living forever 40 ki's couldn't measure to the treasure
Cristal and Dom-P, getting sexed in the 'telly
From bitches, who's in the running (how they look?) up with Halle Berry
I'm far from ordinary, I pitch a K like the arm of Satchel
Beware from the strength of the Natural
[Verse 2]
Now from below I die trying like a Japanese hero
Lyrics are Kilo's the outcome nothing but cee-lo's
Leave those, unprofessional pros alone
Enjoy the sound that's now emitting out the microphone
I'm every word personified, create astonishing lines
Go inside and pull a paragraph or two from my mind
Then decline the competition and recline inside the vision
Of uncanny type precision, hit 'em in all positions
Let it be known, my apparatus is stone
Inject the hyper tone inside the space between your headphones
I'm naturally grown, but leaving it sewn just like a surgeon
Money I'm splurging, that mean I got to leave it burning (right)
The simple fact, I'm like a Mac when I hit
Reality perceived to me, this ain't no counterfeit shit
Doing my thing-thing, I pitch a K like the arm of Satchel
Beware from the strength of the Natural
