Mic, Lights, Camera, Action Lyrics


Uh, you know, it's times like this
When we need change, nigga
Yeah and if you really look at it
Your life is like a movie
And we all in the script playin' a role
Let's go
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
(You are now playing, a rapper)
Yo, I speak clearly, for y'all to hear me
Rotate while I show the world like Mary
Sleepin' rarely, too much beast for the Aries
Gilla, get cream like, Ben & Jerry's
Too fly to mail me, C.O.D.
Opened up my mind and let my ego free
Now the world know my government and I'm lovin' it

All levels from White House to the covenant
Big boy, when the mics and the lights on
You get a three minute glimpse of the icon
Your best rapper, two-steppin' to my song
When he don't know, he ask I write for him
Jersey lights, that's where I live
Where I get lost like one of Kennedy kids
Then I reappear when it's Time 4 Aksion
Then disappear again like LaToya Jackson, it's
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
(You must now protect the President)
Yo, by any means I protect my President
It's P.O.P. protect our president
A thoroughbred on the track like the meadowlands
The secret service should bring the ghetto in
For example, I start up a dot com
For terrorism, a P.O.P. hotline
Join the club if you're ready to rub
Elbows with folks who feel oh-nine is our time
That's the motto, yeah, I know Bush
Made bein' President one tough act to follow
Watch the Lewinskis that just wanna swallow
Remember Kobe Bryant up in Colorado
Lock me in asylum, your boy too ill with it
Your life is campaign and that's real bid'ness
Set up shop and group your team
'Cause they ain't doin' what they did to Martin Luther King
F'real
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
(You will now save hip-hop)
Yo, they said hip-hop been gone for a minute
I gotta find hip-hop and tour more with it
That's my cash cow, wow, go hard
Like the ninth inning, tryin' to score for the pennant
Sky's not the limit, I'm on a quest
To bring back originality, style and concept
Show you how to write 16's with context
Mix it with a little Lil Wayne and KRS
That's fresh, dummy, study the art
Study how it all began and see the part
Study how Kool Herc became King of Bronx
Learn how to rock Wallabees and Clarks
I think I found hip-hop dawg, she right here
Listen up homey, it might help your career
I'm goin' to the top 'cause I'm ready for action
Then disappear again like LaToya jackson, it's
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action
Mic, bright lights, camera, action

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Redman (born Reggie Noble on April 17, 1970 in Newark, New Jersey) made his rapping debut on the EPMD songs "Hardcore" and "Brothers on my Jock", after Erick Sermon of the seminal group spotted him freestyling in a New York club and added him to their crew of aspiring emcees (along with K-Solo among others). Redman's 1992 Def Jam debut Whut? Thee Album broke into the US Top 50, achieved gold status in the United States, and prominent hip-hop magazine The Source subsequently named Redman Rap Artist of the Year for 1993.

Redman's solo career continued throughout the remainder of the decade, with each of his albums selling at least half a million copies. His musical style has remained very consistent, rarely deviating from a combination of Redman's unique braggadocious wit and hard, p-funk-influenced beats. In addition to releasing albums under his own name, he is part of the group Def Squad (along with Keith Murray and Erick Sermon) with whom he released the 1998 album El Nino, and also has formed a close partnership with labelmate Method Man (of the Wu-Tang Clan) with whom he released the 1999 album Blackout!. The long-awaited follow-up, Blackout! 2, apeared in 2009.

He has also collaborated extensively, both with hip-hop artists and with artists from other genres; the long list of artists and groups he has worked with includes Wyclef Jean, Snoop Dogg, Scarface, The Offspring, Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Gorillaz, D'Angelo, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, 2Pac, Jodeci, Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Krs One and IAM.

In 2001 Redman co-starred with Method Man in the stoner comedy film How High, which featured the pair playing two marijuana-addled students attempting to survive at Harvard. Method Man and Redman also appear in the Def Jam Vendetta video game series, often as Tag Team partners, and briefly had their own television sitcom, Method & Red, on Fox during the 2004-2005 season.

Redman is also featured on the video game "True Crime: New York City", in which the central character interacts with an undercover street cop based upon the rap star, who also provides the voice for him.
