Phony As Ya Wanna Be

The Genius

When I hold a mic in my hand, it's devotion



Then I began flowing in a smooth steady motion



Cause I'mcontended to know that I've invented



Poetry which has been highly complimented



Thus how I rhyme is what I feel on stage



And from a fraction of a thought I can write a whole page



I'll just pull a notebook from off the shelf



And like Salt-N-Pepa I express myself



To make most of you know me, and some of you don't



But when it comes to cold challenging, I bet none of you won't



Arrange a battle, improve your style



Against a brother with a totally different profile



Most of you flake cold front ya flex



And hesitate on rhymes that should've been Memorex



But you forgot I remember you're an amateur



Mystery worshipper, nowI prefer



ThatI remind you or tease ya on who's the boss



Cause you suffer amnesia, that's memory loss



Well get this just as quiet as it's kept



MC's on the chart from teh start has slept



Let's shake them,wake them, they should be woke



For what? They take MC'ing for a practical joke



You don't have what it takes to be an MC



Ya just as phony as ya wanna be




You present yourself to be the quiet storm



You're a sneaky littlesnake in a devilish form



But as they say, yo, to each its own



And to each one who plays with a microphone



Abbreviate microphone and M.I.C.



Meaning what, Myself, I, you see



I invite those to battle me then they're through



Bust it, i'mnot prejudiced you're invited too



The rap convention or the MC show



I have rhymes to block those who hit below



The belt, that means biting a rhyme



Yes, I'll wax you, tax you and plus save time



Now who is known to uphold his own



And words are
