I been through many a battle
filled with scratches and gashes
when I start to flame, my brain
reduces you to cinders and ashes
light flashes
and smoke rises higher
and like the Hot Boys and NBA JAM
I got the DJ screamin that "He's on fire!"
I'm not warm, and **ck Hot
I'm leavin' ice on stage
I don't burn it, instead I freeze
when I go into a rage
wisdom remains in my mind
like that of a wise old sage
I'll still be rippin' it
when I'm kickin' it
at a wise old age
like how I Enter the Dragon
while I'm stylin' and saggin'
braggin'
(much love to b-boys.com, for showin' rappers, breakin' and taggin')
haters are stallin' and laggin'
And I be screamin' out, "I don't know you!"
shootin' power out my fingers
like my name was Goku
oh you
know that rivals trip over things they have to go through
when I make 'em commit hari-kari (suicide)
and say sorry
while I hit the red button rapid-fire
like I'm playin' on an Atari
Centipede
all y'all illiterate motha**ckas,
READ!
or you can watch me proceed
to give you what you need
and I make your eardrums bleed
with sonic booms cause
I break sound barriers with godspeed
like Guile, and all the while
grabbin' dollars with greed
I spread my words like I'm spreadin' my seed
doin' the dirty deed
like I was drinkin, baby, Doin' the Dew
Punchin' like Apollo Creed
oh, who knew it was you?
I bust irregular patterns like MNM
and clone the styles of others
while I continue to disassemble them
If I'm a mother**cker, have I **cked your mother?
now
my veins are enlarged
while I slaughter beef like Mad cow(way overused)
screamed at 'em and charged
"like" is all I seem to say
but that's cause I live in an ice cream castle like Morris Day
slicin' fools like OJ
Holdin' the mic till my wrists turn limp just like I was gay
flowers and sunny like May
making you darken and get shady like you went from white to gray
like a little kid who can't wait to get outside and play
with girls filled with silicon like
the California Bay
And you relax when I act like your shit is okay
but then I put a hunch in your back like I was diggin' away
makin' a grave while you startin' to pray
hard like a saint who really can't wait to hear what God has to say
like a deadbeat that don't wanna pay
like a sheep that went astray
Slicin' through skin like a laser ray
people followin' me like I was a beacon
guiding the way
like my name was Ice Cube
screamin' out YAY-YAY!
Like a guy with a pregnant girl, knowin' he don't wanna stay
I leave marks on your face just like my name was Mary Kay
much to your dismay
whenever I put on a display
pullin' knives and spinnin' silver blades that's Ginsu
Whippin' much *ss like I'm a full member of the Ginyu
explain me?
you can't even begin to
see what I'm into
is battling you
and power bombing you
and then I pin you
and spin you
girls, you know I wanna get in you
the steamin' demon
who's screamin'
and seems to be creamin'
mutha**ckas with a weakness of
dreamin' that I wasn't so supreme n'
streamin'
like audio on the net
beamin'
on a strong signal
seein' that y'all ain't ready yet
blowin' up like an enveloped bomb in the mail
while I repeatedly smack you in the mouth
and make you whimper and wail
incredibly shrinkin' MCs down to miniature scale
fools die off when they try to follow me like Oregon trail
retelling an ancient tale
pull out a dusty *ss book
I grip the mic and it starts to rain and hail
your mom will cry about the life I took
search for my flow like the search for the Holy Grail
like Monty Python
and ni**as scream while I
get my laser sight on
and my write on
with my light on
the tight song
is right on
point
while I continue to annoint
and tearin' up the whole joint
while other fools just smokin'
you need to realize
that although I play around
Nemesis ain't jokin'
and when we battle I make you start chokin'
on every sentence
when I come through your city and welcome all challengers
ni**as fall on their knees with all repentance
I run marathon freestyles like
the Bay to Breakers
and you see my face on boxes
like I was one of the Quakers
who the **ck do you think I am
after a battle
I'll have you screamin' out uncle and auntie and grandma
and yes sir and yes ma'am
onlookers screamin' out "Damn!"
got problems?
we can solve 'em, man
while I'm exposing you just like my **ckin' name was Candid Cam
I'm rough enough to where I can sand paper with my vocal chords
but invincible enough to where I can wipe my *ss with samurai swords
snappin' the thickest of boards
with my telekenetics
that's where I hold the universe
I got you fools sweatin' heavy
like I was calisthenics
and you get hit with shards of shrapnel
when I make my iron quotes burst
and disperse
you get worse
with verse upon verse
and at the end of a battle you'll have to have me call for a nurse
and driven off in a hearse
when they find out that they're facing me
emcees wanna to curse
I sling you around with one arm like a purse
but of course you realize that I have to deconstruct you first
and
ni**as know I'm supreme
but I'm not a supremacist,
stretching on and on like Dhalsim
and charming to feminists
screamin' "YOGA FIRE!"
like the last time I made a reference to Street Fighter
I don't really give a damn
cause I don't know who to give it to
but you know if you really want it then I'll give it to you
while I represent the Unknown, my old crew
fools wanted to grope when the pope dropped the soap
they zoomed in with a sniper scope and
made a noose for me out of a hemp rope
but lit it up and it made an increase in my temp, hope
that you can believe that this is only a fraction of what I send
when I have you rising up so fast that you get sick from the bends
I make speeches so superflous you have to commend
my style is highly noted and I simply must recommend
take my advice and run for cover
The beginning -the end.
