Here’s a Little Somethin’ For Ya Lyrics
Yes, yes, yes
Ill out the gate, I set it off
I suppose you're exposed, so get lost
You break off, cut all connections
Join the sucker emcee witness protection
M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mike D
Step 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
Now here's a little somethin for ya!
I'm-a drive a little and stall ya
Don't lose your balance and fall ya
And if you're feelin' chilly, I'mma get you a shawl
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Is not done yet (done yet)
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Here's a little something for ya
Ill out the gate, I set it off
I suppose you're exposed, so get lost
You break off, cut all connections
Join the sucker emcee witness protection
M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mike D
Step 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
Now here's a little somethin for ya!
I'm-a drive a little and stall ya
Don't lose your balance and fall ya
And if you're feelin' chilly, I'mma get you a shawl
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Is not done yet (done yet)
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)

Honest Mike, what? Honest Mike D
Don't really care if the press likes me
Just speak my conscience, speak my mind
Don't trip and flip, and then I stop to find
Queens up front, Brooklyn's in the back
Flack from flak guns, riot squads smokin' crack
The odds are stacked, for those who lack
Been a lucky motherfucker when it comes to that
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
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Is not done yet (done yet)
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Here's a little something for ya
The shit is crazy
The shit is crazzzeee
Don't really care if the press likes me
Just speak my conscience, speak my mind
Don't trip and flip, and then I stop to find
Queens up front, Brooklyn's in the back
Flack from flak guns, riot squads smokin' crack
The odds are stacked, for those who lack
Been a lucky motherfucker when it comes to that
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
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Is not done yet (done yet)
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Here's a little something for ya
The shit is crazy
The shit is crazzzeee
Dr. Carlton Brassiere, a.k.a. Joyce
Dr. Bombay is the ladies choice
Step on stage to the smoke from dry ice
Every time I bring it twice as noice
Now ease up brethren, take an Excedrin
Only name check to rhyme is Tippi Hedren
I'm undefined, I'm gettin' much finer
Steady loungin' in my La-Z-Boy recliner
Losing it in traffic, amped up on coffee
Like kids going wild after school for Mr. 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
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Is not done yet (done yet)
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Here's a little something for ya
Dr. Bombay is the ladies choice
Step on stage to the smoke from dry ice
Every time I bring it twice as noice
Now ease up brethren, take an Excedrin
Only name check to rhyme is Tippi Hedren
I'm undefined, I'm gettin' much finer
Steady loungin' in my La-Z-Boy recliner
Losing it in traffic, amped up on coffee
Like kids going wild after school for Mr. 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
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Is not done yet (done yet)
Get ready, get set (get set)
Place your bet (your bet)
What you get (you get)
Here's a little something for ya
