Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yes, yes, yes, ill out the gate, I set it off
I suppose you're exposed, so get lost
And break north, cut all connections
Join the sucker MC witness protection
[Verse 2]
MMMMMMMMMM-Mike D
Slip off the launch in the place to be
Always on time so I never botch
The tick to the tock of the Mike D watch
[Verse 3]
Now here's a little somethin' for ya
I'ma drive a little and stall ya
Don't lose your balance and fall ya
And if you feeling chilly I'ma get you a shawl
[Verse 4]
Get ready, get set
Get set
Get set
Place your bet
Your bet
Your bet
What you get
You get
You get
Is not done yet
Done yet
Done yet
[Verse 5]
Get ready, get set
Get set
Get set
Place your bet
Your bet
Your bet
What you get
You get
You get
Here's a little something for ya
[Verse 6]
Honest Mike... what? Honest Mike D
Don't really care if the press likes me
I just speak my conscience, speak my mind
I don't trip or flip and then I start to find
[Verse 7]
Queens up front, Brooklyn's in the back
Flack from flack guns, riot squads smokin' crack
The odds are stacked for those who lack
I been a lucky motherfucker when it comes to that
[Verse 8]
I slow roast, I'm steady tappin'
Oh yes, I guess I'm the toast of Manhattan
In Miami I'm sleazy with John Salley
Shout to André Leon Talley
[Verse 9]
Get ready, get set
Get set
Get set
Place your bet
Your bet
Your bet
What you get
You get
You get
Is not done yet
Done yet
Done yet
[Verse 10]
Get ready, get set
Get set
Get set
Place your bet
Your bet
Your bet
What you get
You get
You get
Here's a little something for ya
[Verse 11]
Dr. Carlton Brassiere aka Joyce
Dr. Bombay is the ladies' choice
Step on stage to the smoke from dry oice
Every time I bring it twice as noice
[Verse 12]
Now ease up, bredren, take an Excedrin
Only name check to rhyme is Tippi Hedren
I'm lookin' fine, I'm gettin' much finer
Steady lounging in my La-Z-Boy recliner
[Verse 13]
Losing it in traffic, amped up on coffee
Like kids goin' wild after school for Mister Softee
Like a slice around the corner, uh, it's sneaking up on ya
Breathing down your neck, uh, it's creeping up on ya
[Verse 14]
Get ready, get set
Get set
Get set
Place your bet
Your bet
Your bet
What you get
You get
You get
Is not done yet
Done yet
Done yet
[Verse 15]
Get ready, get set
Get set
Get set
Place your bet
Your bet
Your bet
What you get
You get
You get
Here's a little something for ya
