The song The MC is performed by KRS-One in the album named I Got Next in the year 1997 .
Who am I?
The MC, la-di da-di
I don't wear Versace, I wear DJ's out quickly at the party
Who am I?
If you're like me hip hop is in your body
Who am I?
The MC!
When the jam is slow and you need a proceeder
Who am I?
The MC!
When you need a lyrical leader wit oratorical triple features
Who am I?
The MC!
When you need to rock your 3000-seat arena, best believe, uh
Who am I?
The MC!
When you need to get the word on the street with demeanor
Who am I?
The MC!
I beg thee, let me spurt rhymes, I have plenty
Who am I?
The MC!
Lord have mercy I hit sudden like Hersey always
New like Jersey, stay thirsty
Who am I?
The MC!
Showin' my authority, superiority an artistic minority
Now you startin' me
'Cuz party philosophy can only be carried out by
Who am I?
The MC!
No doubt, predicting far ahead what will set the party off
Immensely with plenty of who?
The MC!
Trained at Rooftop, Red Zone, Roxy and Bentley's
Who am I?
The MC!
Gently move crowds with harmonious rhythm
'Cuz the lyrics we give em they miss em
Who am I?
The MC! Again
The MC!
Her infinite power helps, oppressed people sent me to tell you
If you truly study lyrical flows and stay on your toes you will be
Who am I?
The MC!
And as an MC you will study verbal magic
But watch what you say 'cuz you'll attract it
Control your subconscious magnet from pullin' in havoc
Who am I?
The MC!
Non-stoppin' MC, hip hoppin' MC verbal rockin'
Head knockin', quick droppin' MC
I laugh 'cuz I mastered the craft MC in sound clash
I'm the first and last MC
It's sort of like Jim Carey throwin' that Mask to me
I black out and wake up to catastrophe
3 MC's dead from the sound blowin' out ma*sively, wow!
Who am I?
The MC!
Untouchable, can't be caught off guard with fast tracks or slow tracks
a*s cracks get waxed to the max, MC's pack raps for all tracks
Indigenous cultures, Asians, Whites and Blacks
Never missed it the linguistic of
Who am I?
The MC!
Meta-lyrical poetic mystic MC
Hearin' the voice of an ancient spirit MC, premeditated wonder
Killin' negative concepts out the mind of the observer MC
You deserve a break from counterfeits, frauds and fakes
Claimin' to be an MC for heaven sakes
Well, this MC done raised the stakes under the stress from KRS
Contracts and mental gats are bound to break
Who am I?
The MC! Again
The MC!
