Give me a microphone and then me ram jam session

Proud progressive ghetto youth man

Miami girl them looking hot
Jump around your bed, no hitch up on block*

Respect the education in the head-top

Put your heart and your mind in the man who ram the dancehall (Woman!)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy
