Mr. Jones Lyrics

[Hook]
You can ride all day long
Another mike dizzle production(Mike Jones)
But you'll never catch Mr. Jones ha ha ha ha ha haaa(Mr. Jones)
He's got a shot gun so (Who?) go back home (Who? Who? Who?)
Cuz you'll never (Who?) catch Mr. Jones(Who?) (Mike Jones)

[Verse 1]
I'm back on these tracks about to sell another mill
My pants stay saggin' from them hundred dollar billz
These haters hate but they don't really wanna see the steel
These haters hate but they don't really wanna see the steel
Had a million in my bank before Asylum bought the deal
Had a million in my bank before Asylum bought the deal
Before I came out they say the streets wouldn't feel
The shit that I'm spittin the shit that's real
But now I'm like Mello I'm the king of the hill
American dream im livin' that for real
eleven cars lata nigga tell me how you feel
Took the diamonds out my teeth and put them on my phantom grill (Smile, ha ha)

[Hook]
You can ride all day long (Mike Jones)
But you'll never catch Mr. Jones ha ha ha ha ha haa (Mr. Jones)
He's got a gang that's far too strong (Ice Age Ice Age Ice Age)
Your friends you know it, that's why you're all alone ha ha ha ha ha haa
Chasing a man you can't see (Mike Jones)
So just walk away and let him be
He's got a shot gun so (Who?) go back home (Who? Who? Who?)
Cuz you'll never (Who?) catch Mr. Jones(Who?) (Mike Jones)

[Verse 2]
I used to get dissed by the chicks in the club
Now they want to rub my belly wanna show ya boy some love
They see me iced up they be like wassup?
Try to jack me if u wanna I'ma leave u f**ked up
Used to roll hatch back now I'm Cadillac and Benz
Used to roll hatch back now I'm Cadillac and Benz
I used to have homies now I'm like f**k friends


Cause even back then all they did was pretend
Now I got my own lable Ice Age and I'm boss
I'm the mayor of this town with the key to that Vault
All my cars black on black except the one with big gloss
Got another white on white I call that hoe Rick Ross (Ross)(Hahaa)

[Hook]
You can ride all day long (Mike Jones)
But you'll never catch Mr. Jones ha ha ha ha ha haa (Mr. Jones)
He's got a gang that's far too strong (Ice Age Ice Age Ice Age)
Your friends know it, that's why you're all alone ha ha haa
Chasing the man you can't see (You can't see me baby)
So just walk away and let him be
He's got a shot gun so (Who?) go back home (Who? Who? Who?)
Cuz you'll never (Who?) catch Mr. Jones(Who?) (Mike Jones)

At least three artists share this name:

1) A southern rap artist from the northside of Houston, TX, born January 6, 1981.

Mike Jones has become well-known for his unique repetition of his own name throughout his songs. Many of his songs contain the phrases "Who is Mike Jones?" or "Mike Jones!" His major promotional gimmick is to sell and hand out shirts with his cell phone number on them (athletic department-style shirts reading "Property of Mike Jones"), as well as shouting out the number throughout his mixtapes and albums, encouraging fans to call him on his Motorola phone.

Jones is known for recording in the "chopped & screwed" style popularized by DJ Screw, also of Houston. The slowed-down audio aesthetic supposedly mimics the effect of "sippin' sizzurp," that is, cough syrup containing codeine. Most followers of the chopped & screwed style claim that it has outgrown its drug-related roots. Jones' trademark technique is to take a line from one of his songs and use it as a chorus in another, or sometimes even in the same song, screwing, chopping and repeating it (for example, the chorus to "Back Then" is sampled from the track "Still Tippin").

Jones has used repetition of certain words and phrases extensively in his songs. An example of this can be found in songs such as Back Then when he constantly repeats "Mike Jones" and "Who is Mike Jones." As a result, he has come under intense scrutiny or criticism from fellow rappers in his native Houston such as rappers Chamillionaire and Lil' Flip who have accused Mike Jones of copying their slang or criticized his aforementioned rapping style.

2) Solo pianist. Mike Jones (born August 11, 1962) is an American jazz pianist. He has appeared onstage with Penn and Teller since 2006, and continues to play with them during their nightly show in Las Vegas.

He first garnished praise as a young musician, performing professionally at the age of ten. Following the advice of Oscar Peterson, Jones attended Berklee School of Music, in Boston. While still attending the school he started work as a studio musician.

During his time commuting from Boston to New York, Jones worked as the on-air pianist and music director of the Nancy Merrill Show. He also appeared throughout the New England area with jazz musicians Herb Pomeroy, Gray Seargent, Dick Johnson, and others. In 1994 his first solo recording on Chiaroscuro Records, "Oh, Look At Me Now" was released. This was followed by "Runnin' Wild" recorded live in Buffalo, NY, his hometown, and then "Live At Steinway Hall", in New York City.

3) An experimental tape artist from Cardiff, Wales.

Mike Jones ran the CTOANR cassette tape label in the early eighties which featured the likes of Artists such as The Stripey Zebras's, Instant Automatons and other independent artists. Mike was also a recording artist and played in The Chromosomes, Effigies (UK) and released solo work.

Recordings from Mike and The Chromosomes were released in 2008 by the American Label Hyped2Death. The album Messthetics: Greatest Hiss features "Reckless Policies" from Mikes 1981 solo Album "Pretty Flowers", "Hi Fi Know How" by The Chromosomes plus a Cardiff based radio competition where his band finished third (out of three).

Since 1985 Mike has played in the punk/techno/C86 band named Otalgia (which is a medical term for earache). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
