Intro featuring Jimi Hendrix First Verse : From Mic Checks to Sound Checks tryin to get a Pay Check Sony Walkmans that use to play ca**ettes That's - right after 8 tracks before CDs and record labels ain't know about an MP3 Now Emcees don't need deals when record companies wanna piece of your brand so they can more money Ain't funny how they use to say no biting allowed Now a days if you don't bite how you expect to chow And everybody gota eat get your vitamins and nutrients We all for one but we ain't all nubian Some got division when they need to add on And some that got theirs off refuse to put others on
