It's a Must Lyrics

(1st verse) 

If I lay low and let the day go it'll slow my payroll 

Aye-yo I'm a terrorize charge and slay shows 

Ra slay flows go as far as the Barbados 

On the turntable sound like tornadoes 

My style is performed like tropical storms 

Your not to get on the whole spot will get torn 

I keep the metropolitan hollering and bring the dollars in 

Keep the models following wise as King Solomon 

Come slow through the jungle like an animal 

Invade any land I go like General Hannibal 

From Long Island to Queens light up the New York scenes 

All the way to New Orleans and everything in between 

Left to go bless a show in Mexico 

Next Thing I know it's extra cold I see Eskimo's 

Time to rock get it hot soon as I get in there 

Spit in they ear so flow they froze and I disappear 

 

(Chorus)(2x) 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited it runs in the family 

 

(2nd verse) 

They said I was a head of my time or either here before 

To see the idea clear it takes a year or more 

Now times that by the years I reign straight-seven 

No hear for four years still multiplied by eleven 

The silence's a set back make em regret that 

One way to get back is violence and wet cats 

But hold your head black or I'll never rap again 

Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in 

Now that was two years ago and if cats start interfering 

Then I'm a go back to the gat and racketeering 

My sabotage is camaflouge and espionage 

You ain't havin Ra so don't test the god 

I'm takin' all orders I can't afford extorters 

I hit em in the head with a hundred dollars in quarters 

So warn a friend tell em it's on again 

If it's a freestyle bust in a park I want in 

 

(Chorus)(2x) 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited it runs in the family 

 

(3rd verse) 

I managed to get paid for a decade now add three years on to that 

Perform with a knack yes I was born to rap 

The mic Lebanon Teflon don is back 

I strike with better bombs and armed to attack 

So reload the van go ahead let em in 

Every tours a war and I'm on the road again 

Suprise a town the place it's live and loud 

We vibin' now I go wild and dive in the crowd 

Never hit the ground they catch me and carry me around 

Then put me right back on stage to shut it down 

From New York to Cali, Japan and I-tali 

I'm known as the microphone Muhammad Ali 

I'm worldwide my brothers be biggin' me up 

Keep the girls occupied lovin' diggin' me what 

Ain't around when I come to town they mad glad 

Like Saddaam they even say I'm the bomb in Baghdad 

 

(Chorus)(4x) 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited it runs in the family
