Clutch - Careful With That Mic... lyrics

[Clutch - Careful With That Mic... lyrics]

So tell me, when you took the Practice
Scholastic Aptitude Test
Did you know the answers or
Did you just guess?
You rely on gimmicks to amuse your fans
And act all urban to jack-up your sound-scan
What's the matter with you? How
Come you rhyme monosyllabically?
Is atrophy shrinking your entire vocabulary?
Your style's like garbage cans meant to be
Taken out on a weekly basis
Ever since your first record you've been
In a state of suspended animation
You look like Snuffalupagus
And Australopithecus me Cray, you abacus
But enough about you, let's talk about me
And how single handedly I redefined
The science of radio astronomy
Making Nobel prize winners question
Their notions of reality
Oh, but I digress… you play Sorry
I play chess king's pawn to b3, checkmate
Go get some Percocets
Careful with that mic, Weezy
Do you really think it's that easy?

M-m-m-m… this is really good ice cream!
You want some of it? Oh, my bad
I didn't know you were lactose intolerant
Makes you pass gas
Frightens all the girls away
Only friends you keep are those you pay
Always on the ready for the wack snack attack
I carry sandwiches around in a
Straight-edge style Jansport backpack
Got the gadget Q gave Bond
Take control of your
Mind and make you jump in a pond
Go "quack quack" and flap your
Arms, leave you confused
But completely unharmed

Careful with that mic, Weezy
Do you really think it's that easy?
Do you really think it's true
That up above they can't hear you?

Now both you and I know that the
Past ten years have been rather intense
I'm ashamed to admit that I've been
Fooled by the seductions of violence
People walking around with ugly auras
At times I'm even tempted to seek
The advice of Dr laura but, I ignore her

So I take a deep breath and count to ten
Ain't gonna let it get under my skin
Take a deep breath and count to ten
Think of all the nice places that I’ve been
Like back when I was waging
Peace against the Visigoths
I was tutored in the ancient
Mysteries by a wizened philosophe
Learned the polyrhythm of celestial time
And wait for the one to come and
Get it done to finish the rhyme

Careful with that mic, Weezy
Do you really think it's that easy?
Do you really think it's true
That up above they can't hear you?
