Lyrics | [Intro] Hey, yo, Adam what's up? This is Mix Master Mike. I'm calling from Sacramento. Umm, I've been wanting to hook up with you maybe on some tracks. I've got some shit right here. If you could... I set my turntable to a wah wah pedal. It's called the tweak scratch Cause nobody can do it like Mix Master can [Ad-Rock] Come on now I've got the D double-O D double-O style Here we go again because it's been a while Do me a favor, don't touch that dial I rock from Manhattan to the Miracle Mile [Mike D] My name is Mike D, and I'm the ladies choice You'll wanna get next to me in Rose Royce (Royce) Y'all gather round to hear my golden voice Cause when its time to rhyme, you know I get noice (voice) [MCA] He's cruising like a fan boat on the glade He'll tweak your ass across the cross fade So watch your back when he takes the stage (stage) (woo!) Or he'll send you off on a naked rampage [Chorus] Three MC's and one DJ We be getting down with no delay Mix Master Mike, what'cha got to say? ("Bug out!" "To!" "The mic" "All the time!") [Mike D] Sweet and sour like a tangerine Fresh like a box of Krispy Kreme Kenny Rogers' "Gambler" is my gambling theme Mix Master Mike with the scratch routine [MCA] Always up in in it and in the know (know) You know we break it down going toe to toe The bass is booming from down below Ed Norton is chillin with Mario (woo-wee!)
