Chrome Microphone

They grab my throat, spit on me and yell in my face
i'm the most wanted by every emcee in the place
sun down is the time when i'm really in my prime
rappers battle over me, i listen to all of their rhymes
some cats try to choke me, others tell me jokes
other times i'm blessed by the smell of weed smoke
i'm the most respected, most envied, most loved
they tell me stories, and speak to me from above
by day i'm left alone in the dark no body visits me
but i'm never lonely, coz i know everyone misses me
street kids and gangstas want to get their hands on me
the most intelligent work intricate plans for me
i make noise and sound best when held by the realest
i know when it's real coz i'm energized when i feel it
my head is a grill, my body's made out of steel,
i've helped mad heads in the industry get a deal
i'm humble by nature, but always in the limelight
spent time on demo's helpin rappers get they rhymes tight
i've been in basements, clubs and travelled world wide
centre of attention in cyphers i get the crowd hype
i always survive, it's my job to keep the party live
like every emcee i live and breathe for the rhyme
becoz of me i seen the two hottest take shots to the dome
it's a way of life livin as the chrome microphone...
