[ll cool j]
Check this
I excelthey fellI said - wellhell
L can yell or make em melt like gel
I signed the contracts that buils up stacks
Play the wall or fall I stand tall you're small in fact
Step asideyou might get fried
By the super technique that the rapper applied
As a matter of factthe impact will distract
Your attention awayfrom the rest who say
They can mess with cool j the best of to-day
And best cause the rhymes are so funky fresh
I'ma attack smack and make em stand back
Black strong as cognac I got the knack
To rhyme to the rhythm of thisand give em a gift
That's swiftother rappers are stiff and don't riff with
Mr. smithcause that ain't safe
I get you wide open like an uncut eighth
I write to fightdon't biteto reach heights
The mic makes rightgive me the spotlight
So I can prove the pen is mightier than the sword
Ll hard as hellthe lyrical lord
The counterfeit misfits that rap had to admit that
My rhymes are so dangerousI need a permit to rap
Soloon the microphone
Mc's -- don't let me catch you alone
I'm nitro!
YoI got the kick of a kettle drumguaranteed to overcome
You're just a minimummessin with the maximum
And when I swung my tongue among the high strung
Young mc'sthey all got done by the legend
Every second I'm wreckin
Not a mistake you'll findbut 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 bass 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'sbut as they say please I freeze
Rhymes like these kill like a disease
Tried to fill my shoesand caught the blues
Because they get bruised by the rhymes I choose
I kill rappers at randomI don't understand em
The ones I didn't getare on a memorandum
Lines I recite are spontaneous
The nursery rhymes you writeare miscellaneous
So pass the crownbow down and give in
I'm the prince of rapthat's how we livin
Settin milestones on the microphone
Empires are overthrownand I ain't even baritone
No joke I spoke then God stroke
As job tried to sweat the style and got soaked
Conquered and killed on the microphone
Mc's -- don't let me catch you alone
Ll's nitro!
Nitro!
Yoflammable -- 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 cleverI last foreverwe can do whatever
With whoeverwheneverI never
Ever got rockedstopped or dropped
They got poppedby the hip-hop rock that I concoct
I'm so nice yoflowin with the maestro
Murderin and hurtin mc's because I'm nitro
The earthquakes'll kill snakes and fakes
You can't flakeyou made a mistakegive me a breakthanks
Now that we're straight and that's clear
Watch all the big mouths - dissapear
Disintergratedeterioratefall
I demonstrateand devestate you all
There's no doubt about the fact I turn it outthe wack
Be on the lookoutll made a comeback
Full of poweri'ma devour
I stand tall as a towerI won't allow a
Mc to c-o-m-ec-l-o-s-e
Play me long d-i-s-t-a-n-c-em-c's
On the microphoneI'm nitro!

Yo (funky)

Nowadays they crave and praisethe funky sound I pound
Rhymes I write em inrecite em and then slide em in
Order to slaughter comp that start soon as I begin
Total dominationacross the nation
Devestationcut sensationit's the invasion
Of l the terribledevestating rhymin wiz
