Why Battle Me lyrics

[Verse 1]

First to disperse on unrehearsed verses's

Snatching purses from MC's who Punky like Brewster

Three times the rooster, crows cause they wack

Denying this in fact they Screech on my Zach

Saved by the Bell 'cause my combinations intact

Jab uppercut right across it hits exact

Attack like special forces no mics from the sources

It's Bone not the thuggish crew brotha I will get with you

Get with you when I rip the tape up accapella

I swell up like David Banner when he turns into the Hulk

As I give it to you in bulk and not small pieces

For mental releases to set my mind at ease, please

In the dark when I spark a flame occurs

Your speech is slurred, your sight is blurred

You're drunken, intoxicated because my style

Is kinda complicated infiltrate it if you can

[Chorus 1]

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

[Verse 2]

Plastic MC, what's the matter, do you wanna climb Jacob's Ladder

Slip and fall in the pancake batter

Serve you on a platter to family and friends

You'll be swelled up blue like that bear on TaleSpin

For real though, for real though, I tell you some things

Step into the ring, your head hits the floor and it goes ping

Don't get me wrong not in the physical

But in the spiritual aspect you're defeated like an Aztec

So go home, fix some popcorn, analyze your callin'

Pop "Old Yeller" in the VCR and start ballin'

But don't come back without the proper diction

If you do, friction, as I freak you like science fiction

Depiction, a mediator of confusion

Perusin' the MC, some full but most are empty

Now ya wanna battle a serpent with a rattle

Leave ya in the dust on the count of three, combust

[Chorus 1]

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

[Verse 3]

My Dilemma, makes things great, when I, uh, flips, uh

Through these states and I never thought about being a MC till, uh

One day God said to me, "Boy, look here, I got something for you to do

You can start by startin' on the 1, 2"

You probably heard me before when I was comin' through the door

Singin' the jam that I like

"And I will be yo best friend all the way to the never mind the begginin'"

I can start by introducin' my self, my vocal flava

Last longer than a cherry (?) LifeSava

Say whatcha say, uh, I heard ya the last time in the jam

Sittin' in the stand rockin' witcha man

I'm the Liquid Man, say, uh, jigabam

That's who I am, that's who I supposed to be man

"So give me the sunshine to save my soul"

If I turned 42 now, what would you do about it

Nothing, and that's the same way I feel about my style

Nothing, 'cause you can't do nothin' wit it, I'm bound to hit it

[Chorus 1]

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know

Brothas always want to step to me

When they need to be using their telepathy

Sleep when they creep, awakened by the quake

Cause they don't know, they really don't know
