One time for your mind One time for your mind. (One time for your mind) One time for your mind One time for your mind Half man, half amazin'. Listen to the rhyme cause it's blazin' Left-right switched means you're phasin' Straight stargazing, whether verbose or paraphrasing I like donuts with the glazing Raisinets - eat 'em at the movies I bet Or in the city on a pretty videocassette I like the Mets, Knicks, Rangers and New York Jets I'm not C&C but I'm gonna make ya'll sweat Now I thought I saw a puddie or could he be a goody goody Two shoes wearin' new shoes and a hoody And Woody Woodpecker was a treehouse wrecker But he never made his money as a microphone checker Like me. Young MC plus the track So give me the microphone and I'm a take ya'll back To a time when the rhyme was, uh, quite sublime Not a pickle that was fickle for the nickel and dime Where you never hear a record with a miracle line And the majority of rappers doin' lyrical crimes See hysterical times require lyrics that shine And a little bit of glitter. Not a bitter design Like wine, made from grapes on the vine Getting better with age to engage the enzyme And I'm gonna make sure you hear mine From a dapper rapper in my prime. One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind My rhymes are tight like shoelaces. Rockin' on a regular basis Like a judge in a court hearin' cases I Never wore braces. I placed some bets on horse races I like Ice Cube and Oasis. So I look at their faces, smilin' Profilin', hair done up with the stylin' Some act wild and that's low class, man, reviling Go home. Watch Gilligan's Island While inside I chill, get my fill Party jumpin' from nine until I get upon the mic and exercise my skill I'm takin' a flight in the night like a whipoorwhil Doin' it in the day and the evenin'. Ya'll best believe in Lyrical skills that I'm achievin' So relieving, all these rhymes I'm retrieving I'll have you sayin, "Damn!" when you're leaving Even Steven knows I got flows Done in rhyme. Got no time for prose Do 'em over tracks that I did compose I do 'em in studios and shows I chose to oppose this fraud. Oh my lord So-so rappers will keep ya'll bored And you can't afford to be wasting time Or you might get left behind. One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind Now check it out ya'll, my name is Young MC, and, and I'm a, I'm a rapper. I mean I can sing a little bit, but if I could really sing, I'd go sumpin' like oooooooooooooooo And I hit em with oooooooooooooo And then bring it on with oooooooo And then a little bit of ooooooooooooooo One time for your mind One time for your mind. (One time for your mind) One time for your mind. (Young MC, E-Man) One time for your mind. (My man John on the board) one time. (One time, one time for your mind.) For your mind (One time for your mind) One time, for your mind. (One time for your mind) One time, for your mind One time for your mind One time for your mind One time One time for your mind One time for your mind One time One time for your mind One time for your mind
