Haa, it is you know what I'm sayin'
oh my goodness..

So what's the time It's time to get ill
And what's the time It's time to get ill
So what's the time It's time to get ill
So what's the fuckin' time It's time to get ill

I'm not the type of person who likes to waste my time
And when I'm on the mic I keep my motherfuckin' rhymes
'Cause I'm out on bail the check is in the mail
They can sentence me to life but I won't go to jail
Because I'm cool calm collected from class I was ejected
Just me, Mike D and MCA we're rarely disrespected
Because I got all the time that I needs to chill
So What's that time It's time to get ill

Yea what's the time It's time to get ill
And what's the time It's time to get ill
So what's the time It's time to get ill
Mike get on the mic and show your skills..
Whoo..

Ah well I went outside my house I went down to the deli
And then I spent my last dime to refill my fat belly
I got rhymes galime I got rhymes galilla
And I got more rhymes than Phillis Diller whooee
So MCA takes a stand 'cause you're in command
And homeboy turn it out you don't give a god damn
My name is MCA I've got a license to kill yea
So what's the time It's time to get ill

What's the time It's time to get ill
So what's the time It's time to get ill
What's the time It's time to get ill
Mike get on the mic and bust your fuckin' skills whooe

Because I'm riding down the block with my box in my hand
Today I feel like chillin' just as chill as I can
King coolin' on the corner with a forty of O.E.
'Cause me and MCA we're down with Mike C.
When I run a jam I don't give a damn
When I'm throw the bass I just say Thank you ma'am
Fuel injected, rhyme connected running things
Well I'm the King Adrock I eat the colonal's wing
I'm looking for a spot things are gettin' hot
I'm MCA I'm here to stay and you sir, you are not yea..
Oh shit, it could not be it's such a sight to see
It's such a trip you're on my tip my mellow Mikey D.
My work is my play cause I'm playing when I work
D as you can see and I can dot the jerk
MCA Adrock Mikey D. it's chill
What's the time It's time to get ill..
