Hank Shocklee - Nitro lyrics

[LL Cool J] Check this I excel, they fell, I said - well, hell L can yell or make em melt like gel I signed the contracts that bills'll stack Play the wall or fall I stand tall you're small in fact Step aside, you might get fried By the super technique that the rapper applied As a matter of fact, the impact will distract Your attention away, from the rest who say They can mess with Cool J the best of today You fess cause the rhymes are so funky fresh I'mma attack smack and make em stand back Black strong as Cognac I got the knack To rhyme to the rhythm of this, and give em a gift That's swift, other rappers are stiff and don't riff with Mr. Smith, cause that ain't safe I get you wide open like an uncut eighth I write to fight, don't bite, to reach heights The mic makes right, give me the spotlight So I can prove the pen is mightier than the sword LL hard as hell, the lyrical lord The counterfeit misfits that rap had to admit that My rhymes are so dangerous, I need a permit to rap Solo, on the microphone MC's -- don't let me catch you alone I'm nitro! Yo, I got the kick of a kettle drum, guaranteed to overcome You're just a minimum, messin with the maximum And when I swung my tongue among the high strung Young MC's, they all got done by the legend Every second I'm wreckin Not a mistake you'll find, but you can keep checkin Out the sound you'll find that it's genuine Bet that you'll rewind this a thousand times You can taste the ba** like it's filet-of-sole I leave the microphone full of bullet holes I drop the bomb like I'm in 'Nam and go beyond The normal boundaries of too much harm To MC's, but as they say please I freeze Rhymes like these k** like a disease Tried to fill my shoes, and caught the blues Because they get bruised by the rhymes I choose I k** rappers at random, I don't understand em The ones I didn't get, are on a memorandum Lines I recite are spontaneous The nursery rhymes you write, are miscellaneous So pa** the crown, bow down and give in I'm the Prince of Rap, that's how we livin Settin milestones on the microphone Empires are overthrown, and I ain't even baritone No joke I spoke then God stroke As Job tried to sweat the style and got soaked Conquered and k**ed on the microphone MC's -- don't let me catch you alone LL's nitro! Nitro! Yo, flammable -- like gasoline Threatening -- like a guillotine It's like a bad dream when you battle my team I go to every extreme to make MC's scream I'm clever, I last forever, we can do whatever With whoever, whenever, I never Ever got rocked, stopped or dropped They got popped, by the hip-hop rock that I concoct I'm so nice yo, flowin with the maestro Murderin and hurtin MC's because I'm nitro The earthquakes'll k** snakes and fakes You can't flake, you made a mistake, give me a break, thanks Now that we're straight and that's clear Watch all the big mouths - dissapear Disintergrate, deteriorate, fall I demonstrate, and devestate you all There's no doubt about the fact I turn it out, the wack Be on the lookout, LL made a comeback Full of power, I'mma devour I stand tall as a tower, I won't allow a MC to C-O-M-E, C-L-O-S-E Play me long D-I-S-T-A-N-C-E, M-C's On the microphone, I'm nitro! Nitro! Yo (funky) I daze amaze faze blaze and beat em down Nowadays they crave and praise, the funky sound I pound Rhymes I write em in, recite em and then slide em in Order to slaughter comp and stomp soon as I begin Total domination, across the nation Devestation, cut sensation, it's the invasion Of L the Terrible, devestating rhymin wiz I cut through through do and chew, you know what time it is Slick, I k** for kicks, vic you quick Hard as bricks, rock ya sick over the mix The L, L, C, O, O -- L J Period now you know bro! N-I-T-R-O yo go for what you know Unless you're dumb cause yo I'm nitro-glycerin Listenin and takin notes Icin enticin and slicin throats
