Nikki D - Lettin' Off Steam lyrics

[ Flavor Flav ] They gon' really sweat you now, gee They gon' really sweat you now [ VERSE 1 ] When I make a move, you better be at a stand-still I'm holdin up the banner for the annual mic drill Mistress of the rhyme, Sever pick up the drum stick And hit you with a rhythm only Nikki can deal with See, this is a different phase, and you won't be gettin fazed You ran your mouth, no doubt, I'm on a rampage Damned if I'll be good, I turn this track to a gangster And roll up on the bitties who are jokes and pranksters Step to the crowd, work the mic like a symphony Steady rhymin with conviction, let's see who can get next to me If I'd get deeper, you would drown, it's best to pull out now Searchin for a remedy to get rid of me, no how You be a memory mimickin me, cause you got bold s**ers sippin on soup, gold tooth, put it on hold Cold shootin the gift while others riffin a dream You can base if you want, but I'm lettin off steam Shootin the gift, lettin, lettin off Shootin the gift, lettin, lettin off steam (4x) [ VERSE 2 ] You wanna know the star status when I walk in the studio? A mic's there, tracks spare, and I'm ready to do me some A trooper gettin ready for a real live renegade Waitin for a rookie with a mic and a bad name So step into my dome, you be a victim of megablast True trendsetter puttin rhymes on a higher raft Rough be the look, pullin sturdy the mic stand Fiendin for a battle? Take it up with my fans Go 'head and call me a rookie, and I be hookin your show 10 times the rhyme and your crowd goin petrol Shootin the gift while others riffin a dream You can base if you want, but I'm lettin off steam Shootin the gift, lettin, lettin off Shootin the gift, lettin, lettin off steam (4x) [ Flavor Flav ] Yo, yo gee! Hey yo Nikki, they gon' really sweat you now, gee Hey yo, check this out Nikki D lettin off steam, boy First female rapper on Def Jam Records Yo, it's the Flavor Flav, I'm on there to And if Flavor Flav ain't on your records, then your records ain't really hot Yo Nikki, kick it! [ VERSE 3 ] Go 'head and tell it, I smell it, it's creepin right through your veins Wanna race your next release date doggin my name You breathed, I hear it, come back and burn you on the spot Another homicide in case you wanna beef a lot No challenge is small, don't let me give them my all You will have ruined your own train, yeah, take a fall I take it and break it and make you a mystery, gee Have em wonder what keeps hidden my stage underneath No freedom, I beat em and eat em just like a lunch But of course there's a big mouth, I cold just crunch Cause the poet will flow it and kick it just like this Try to hit but don't miss, cause I be throwin a fist You get tough, I get puffed, call your bluff in a sec Try to step and get stepped on, step back when it's mic check Shootin the gift while others riffin a dream You can base if you want, but I'm lettin off steam Shootin the gift, lettin, lettin off Shootin the gift, lettin, lettin off steam (4x)
