lyrics
Stop, look, listen,
Your feet in sync with the rhythm,
Catch you on the flipside,
Feel your head spinning?
Get back up,
You’re submitting,
You’re submitting,
Next round?
(ding ding)
Hear your destiny’s ringing?
Don’t try to infiltrate my mind,
Healthily subliminal messages in the rhyme,
Lest you’re apt to Mike Tyson,
Eight ounce to your knuckles,
Stimulate your inner self,
Bring the psychological ruckus,
Right cross,
Upper cut,
Step in with the jab,
Duck weave,
Chin tucked
Muscle the upper hand,
Step in the ring,
Guard up left right left,
Don’t neglect your footwork,
Step push step,
Left Right left,
Step push step.
Each time you knock us down,
We borrow concrete from the ground,
Amateur to nothing,
I’m a pro to the sound
Amateur to nothing,
I’m a pro to the sound
Please (Shhhhhhh)
If you would,
don’t tread on my toes,
Prose and poetry,
Blocking your blows
You know it’s me,
Stallion galloping
Over cantering foals,
Whoa,
Never mind the egos,
Temper-mentally ill curing content with lyrical willpower,
No soapbox or ivory tower above which to cower below,
Sticky on the back foot, watch where I’m going with sly elbows,
Pain, saliva, scot-free trial / error
Reasonably ripe for bruising Eberhart by terror
Dolly mix tricks with a single flick of the wrist
Combinations lyricist, sealed with a loving kiss
This is your time to shine,
Surprise your opponent with the light of your rhyme
Each time you knock us down,
We borrow concrete from the ground,
Amateur to nothing,
I’m a pro to the sound
Amateur to nothing,
I’m a pro to the sound
This is your time to shine x4
Each time you knock us down,
We borrow concrete from the ground,
Amateur to nothing,
I’m a pro to the sound
Amateur to nothing,
I’m a pro to the sound
This is your time to shine,
Surprise your opponent with the light of your rhyme
This is your time to shine,
Surprise your opponent with the light of your rhyme
