This is a throw down, a showdown
Hell no I can't slow down
It's gonna go down
(1St Offence on the mix)
Down
Go on and hey
Down
Okay party people in the house
May I have your attention please
In a moment the beat will be played in many parts
Go on and hey
Many parts, many
One, two, three
Go on and hey
ย
This jam is amplified so just glide
And let your backbone slide
ย
You listen to every word I say
Every verb you heard I place, not the vertebrae
You try to cover or hover me or roast
Or fake a flag that I run a post, toast
I'm the most, D-E-F's how it goes
No X's or O's or tic-tac-toes
LTD knows this ain't a game, I'm on a mission
Call me a hip-hop tip tactician
I rap just like a slab of clay that's shapeless
Champagne, no shimmer, no glass is tasteless
A universe without light is lightless
That's why I always take time to write this
I mold it in my hands before I start chisellin'
Could be a rain or brainstorm or drizzlin'
Sun could be shinin', son could be showerin'
Practice makes perfect, I'm powerin', flowerin'
My lyrics are awesome and tune in volume and
Bloomin' and blossomin'
Blowin' away blockades and barricades
Make you black and blue from the blast and the blaze
It's a blood sport, blood spills out back
I make your vision go blurry while your brain goes blank
Into oblivion, beats from box to box
The bass rocks from blocks to blocks, let your backbone slide
Jam on the left, on the right
Jam on the left, up and down
Jam on the left, on the right
Jam on the left, up and down
ย
Just let it slide y'all, I don't give a damn
Let your backbone quiver
Man oh man, watch your swiver
Rhymes that twine your spine when you slither
It's contagious, an epidemic and
You try to lift your crew but it fell again
Rap scholar, so academic and
But like I said before I'm un-American
It's who you are not where you went
We all originate from the same descent
I make a lot of cents and pence
Gold, myrrh and frankincense
When I'm in France they flow me francs
Frankly a Swiss account is where I bank banks
At home I make bills of brown for my sound
In the States green like the grass in the ground
When I'm in England they pass me pounds now
I clock cash in every town
So I slide but nowadays I'm trapped (Why's that?)
So many suckers on my sacro-iliac
It's like a rap sack backpack
Give me some slack, jack
Rap is like a jungle where rhyme for rhyme
Is like a vine to vine, swung line to line of mine
I'm colossal, you's a mosquito
I'ma play Tarzan, you play cheetah
Cheetah biter, love to forage
Better yet I'll call you Curious George
'Cause curiosity cold killed the cat
Can't hide so glide to the side, let your backbone slide
Jam on the left, on the right
Jam on the left, up and down
The key word is synchronism
Yo, check out my homeboy dance to the rhythm, ayy
This ain't forte, I'm comin' double F
Fortissimo, F-S for funky fresh
My DJ is LTD, mellow flex
You listen to the poetry pitch I project
Vocabulary golden, beats from my Roland
Stone cold lyrics with the microphone I'm holdin'
Words I rip, egos I strip
I make sucker crews kick, take Van Dyke flips
I get busy, they dizzy, they start to collide
They shoulda stepped off, I let it slide
But now they got brazen, dry like a raisin
I glaze like a phase, I smack ya like tase
Until they realize they shouldn't have riffed
It's '89 y'all, not Beethoven's 5th or 6th
It's a throw down, I'm conductin' it
The cause of high rise, I'm constructin' it
Twas once a thought, pen and paper
Now it's a tower, a soul, a skyscraper
It's gettin' outta hand, I've created a monster
My musical monologue makes you wanna
Move with the maestro, you feel high
So I set the blend, the crescendo is nice, yo
I'm the guy, the rhythm is a ride
So glide to the fresh side and let your backbone slide
Jam on the left, on the right
This is a throw down
Jam on the left, up and down
Jam on the left, on the right
Jam on the left, up and down
Jam on the left, on the right
Jam on the left, up and down
Jam on the left, on the right
Jam on the left, up and down
