lyrics

Bless The Mic
I woke up this morning when the mic called my name
It said I command you to flow like Gil Scott Heron
and blow like Coltrane
Rap real cool like Don Cornelius on Soul Train
Kick that slick rhetoric like Barack on his campaign
and I understand that you left the world
But I need you to come back in
Redeem spoken word from original sin and make it born again
This mic has been broken and needs oratorical ointment
So come tight with your gift and spit the mic anointment
So I obeyed the callin and I'm here tonight
to kick off this revival right
and bless the mic!

So let us elevate the craft
consecrate the mic and make spoken word last
Lack of unity put the game on a fast
and now it's time for a feast
time to let the poets, priest and saints souls release
as we resurrect the game
So we can transmit the gospel and make it rain
on ghetto, lay folks and intellectual domains
everybodys gonna get lifted tonight
so put on your seat belts
It's time to bless the mic!
