Careful With That Mic Lyrics
Did you know the answers or did you just guess?
You rely on gimmicks to amuse your fans
And act all urban to jack-up your sound-scan.
What's the matter with you? How come you rhyme monosyllabically?
Is atrophy shrinking your entire vocabulary?
Your style's like garbage cans meant to be taken out on a weekly basis.
Ever since your first record you've been in a state of suspended animation.
You look like Snuffaluffagus and Australopithecus.
Me Cray, you abacus.
But enough about you, let's talk about me
And how single-handedly I redefined the science of radio astronomy,
making Nobel prize winners question their notions of reality.
Oh, but I digress… you play sorry, I play chess.
King's pawn to b3, checkmate, go get some Percasets.
Do you really think it's that easy?
Oh, my bad, I didn't know you were lactose intolerant.
Makes you pass gas, frightens all the girls away.
Only friends you keep are those you pay.
Always on the ready for the wack snack attack,
I carry sandwiches around in a straight-edge style Jansport backpack.
Got the gadget Q gave Bond. Take control of your mind and make you jump in a pond,
Go "quack quack" and flap your arms, leave you confused, but completely unharmed.
Do you really think it's that easy?
Do you really think it's true
That up above they can't hear you?
I'm ashamed to admit that I've been fooled by the seductions of violence.
People walking around with ugly auras.
At times I'm even tempted to seek the advice of Dr. Laura,
But I ignore her.
Ain't gonna let it get under my skin.
Take a deep breath and count to ten.
Think of all the nice places that I’ve been
I was tutored in the ancient mysteries by a wizened philosoph,
Learned the polyrhythm of celestial time,
and wait for the one to come and get it done to finish the rhyme.
Do you really think it's that easy?
Do you really think it's true
That up above they can't hear you?
This song is clearly about Lil' Wayne, aka Weezy. His rap style is lazy and slow, as if he is stoned and fried when singing. multiple references to his small vocabulary and highlighting his tendency to make sounds or half laughs rather than words (aha aha.) -examples found in Mrs. Officer.
Is atrophy shrinking your entire vocabulary? Lil' instead of Little Wayne.
It seems like he is pissed or annoyed with Lil' Wayne's laziness and negative messages, advocating violence through his own ignorance. "Careful with that Mic Weezy, do you really think it's that easy."
Wrong Way, Cray computers are the fastest, biggest, baddest supercomputers in the world today. Probably named after Seymour Cray, maybe a company he founded.
The song is about Fred Durst, whom the band got sick of when Columbia forced the two bands to tour together in 96 or 97.
Wow you're right roleki!
Wow you're right roleki!
I totally forgot that Clutch opened for Limp Biscuit on the Elephant Riders tour. I was disgusted that I actually contributed to Limp Biscuits but I left after Clutch finished playing.

Only Neil can make a segue from bashing dumb artists to sandwiches
genius!! my interpretation is that he is just mocking posers and those that are in music for the money. pretty simple.
You can see a few transparent shots at nu-metal in here, and he's basically just taking a swipe at fake rock music, music that's copletely fake and passionless and unintelligent. "Your style's like garbage cans; meant to be taken out on a weekly basis."
I believe this is about Fred Durst. "monosyllabically", "flap your arms"...
I think eightsicks is right. This song is mocking Fred Durst from beggining to end. Since Limp Bizkit is sort of "rap-rock" whatever Neil Fallon is sort of rapping in this song and he actually comes out with some pretty sick rhymes. "Like back when I was waging peace against the Visigoths, I was tutored in the ancient mysteries by a wizened philosoph, Learned the polyrhythm of celestial time, and wait for the one to come and get it done to finish the rhyme."
I've always wanted to hear this song mixed in with Shootyz Groove's "Put down the mic".. Both are pretty much messages to bad bands (or DJ's) to stop what they are doing..
I think it would be neat.. although Neil would definitely take the cake on original lyrics.. lactose intolerant? australopithecus?
that's just awesome.
Nice rapping. :P I think it's a Fred Durst diss.
