[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 buils up stacks
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 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 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 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's, but as they say please I freeze
Rhymes like these kill like a disease

Tried to fill my shoes, and caught the blues
because they get bruised by the rhymes I choose
I kill 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 pass 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 killed 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 kill 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'ma 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 that start 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 get off of kicks, vick your flick
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
