about

Is it right to enjoy doing something with as much fun as performing on stage? This was the question that Brendan asked God one night, just before going to bed. Lying in bed, God now gave
Brendan these lyrics. As sleep crept in the lyrics crept out, so Brendan rushed to his desk and in less than ten minutes the song was penned. God said, “it’s OK for you to be an MC, you are my MC, but don’t forget, I am the Master.”

lyrics

Ya’ll listen right now cuz they’ve given to me,
The microphone and a chance to be free.
If you listen to the words, the things I have to say,
The smart ones among you are sure to find the way,
Chorus: I’m the Master you see, of the ceremony
Now they’ve given me the MIC
I’m the Master you see, the Master’s MC
Check it out!

Now the Master of the Master’s MC
Is the Master himself, the Master JC
We all have a Master of some kind or another
But the Master I got, I can call my brother
Chorus
Some people worship the colour TV
Listen to their music on the latest CD
There’s football, cricket, all kinds of sports
Going to the pub drinking beer and shorts
Maybe your master’s some kinda new drug
Or cigarettes, you’ve been hit by the bug.
You could have the master of crime,
Do time you slime and other words that rhyme
Chorus
So let me tell you bout the Master JC
He cares for you and he cares for me.
He’s with you at work, he’s with you at play,
He’ll tell you the truth, he’ll show you the way.
So if you’re sitting by the TV, or you’re sitting in the pub,
Remember Master JC, he’s the one that they call love.
If you’re feeling kinda lonesome and you want someone to care
Reach out to the Master, cause he is always there!
And that’s a fact!
Chorus
