it's bullshit to me
rhyme to the rhythm of a or should i give a brother time
and move on
you better get another vick to work with - or quit
cause i'm on some ol' l shit
capable of murder but i never committed
takin' no shorts so you better forget it
tracklin' the world on my tone deafen station
taught her
supercalifalistic emcee excutioner
wicked witch
diggin' your ditch
givin' ya stitch by stitch
ain't this a bitch
sweeter than lemonade
stronger than a hand-grenade
rhymes are laid
go deeper than a mermaid
louder than a siren
i'm not retirin'
despirin'
admirin' the way i'm gettin' fly and
i sees ecleptoes and i resent those
brothers who slept on
when they shoulda kept on
rollin' with rush it don't get no rougher
i stopper
huffer and puffer
a buffer
suffer
i was holdin' back the man superior
right?
you wanna take my title
yo
you'll be aight
you stand below the plateau i stand on
you want my faction to put the man on
i shake'n'bake and break the laws of gravity
and if you chew on
you'll get a cavity
cause i'ma giant
and you're a pee-wee
and all that ll shit
you can't see me
you're cheap and weak
incomplete and off-peak
er-erm! cause it gets no rougher
it gets no rougher
yo man
you know how to take the order a-b-c emcee's youknowhati'msayin'?
yo
cuttin' ain't no joke
yo l
release the juice on 'em
i release the juice smack dab in your face
do damage
i'm pickin' up the pace
my mics' like a torch when i'm walkin' at nighttime
straight to the dome
it's like a pipe-line
high speed
stronger than thai-weed
and before you pick up the mic to get fly
you need all the dope khaki's that you can feature
so i can serve you
you know the procedure
listen to the man intellectualize
visualize
your whole posse gettin' paralysed
i don't wanna hear no alibi's
don't apologize
er-erm-erm
i 'll put the highs' in your eyes!
the bass in your face
like you ditch the attorney
i'm on the case
with rhymes that'll hit ya
get ya and sit ya down
the competition is booty get the picture now?
skip the record
my road
to get me-a-go
i'm figurin' yo
nigga you know
i won't allow
not now
no way
no how
any form of disrespect
you better bow
time gets rough to swamp i do it pump
in between my jaws adversaries got chomped
the cordless mic is my only utensil
lyrics you be runnin'
i break 'em like a pencil
cause i'm massive
and you're a small fry
you're all in
a stunt
a fall-guy
outta order i smolder blacks to make you suffer!
cause it gets no rougher
it gets no rougher
shut up
the alley cats' got attention to get
and drop these l dope lyrics on ya
the beat is pumpin'
youknowi'msayin'?
tell 'em
let me ask you ask a question. you could take the game of rap and rule it alone
demonstrate many styles on the microphone
build an empire like an african king
i had to show apu jack the ripper could swing
i'ma rappers nightmare
i crush my opponents
there's only one title - i own it
emcee's flip-flop
i bust out the workshop
they try to eve'sdrop
goin' to make rock
aerodynamically
it's all automatically
the way i jiggly full of originality
shay-shop 'em and stop 'em like a cheetah and an antelope
then i cut 'em like a cantalope - on the table
they ain't able
i'm a legend
not a fable
gotta keep it stable
crack your back bone
harder than grimstone
doin' your justice overseein' like a chaporone
huh
on the hip-hop scene
i got shit sewn up like a sewin' machine
eat a rapper like a sandwich
leave 'em in a bandit
crack the stage and leave the audience damaged
yeah
get funky on that cut
get funky on it
(yo
l
them lyrics is dope man youknowi'msayin'?
you better raw sick for years.) this how we do it dogg
yo
bust this
i'm kinda like a soldier
see i told ya
when i pick up the mic i'ma hold ya
captive
a mack-tive
i'll make sure i'll track it
l'll speak a cell a sneak as your backs' gettin' weaker
i freak the beat and get shieker
rule over king
you're too over-eager
you're tryin' to make a move for
i'ma prove you're ridiculious
i think he was jealous and in the mood for an ass-kickin'
when you mess with
the man with the plan
mic in his hand and a fresh skit
r-o-u-g-h-e-r
rougher! so here we are
face to face
mic to mic
man to man
while your battle ship is sinkin' in quicksand
strappin' to the bottom like a two-ton anchor
and break
pull the rope
point blank
i'm a sniper
rapper like a pack
step on 'em like a mack
my dj cut-creator scratch a record like a cat
e at my side with pride who got a bigger rep
shh. smoke the mic like a cigarette
every puff is rough i pull
kill a bull
one toke
your crews' a joke
i run through rappers like runnin' through rubber holes is
nigga
i'm comin' up roses
step back - i got the title - bear-witness to a dope recital
i've killed many men my friend and i'ma do it again and again and again
cause it gets no rougher
youknowi'msayin'? i'm rulin' this game
it don't get no rougher
peace
ll cool j
