Nitro Lyrics - 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 builds 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 

You're 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 fillet-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 

Disintegrate, deteriorate, fall 

I demonstrate, and devastate 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, MC'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 

Detestation, cut sensation, it's the invasion 

Of L the Terrible, devastating 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 LL 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 

Bad boy, funky 

Bad boy, funky 

Funky, funky, funky, funky 

Funky, funky, funky, funky 

Funky, funky, funky, funky 

Bad, bad
