I'm T-N-T
|
And I just can't lose
|
An emcee with a fuse
|
When it's lit I hit
|
With the lyrical wit
|
Of a scientist
|
Tryin' this
|
Sugar coated
|
Rhyme loaded
|
With gunpowder
|
Now see how the
|
Crowd will yell louder
|
Now the
|
Rhyme is dropped
|
You hear a pop
|
You think it's a shot
|
But you just can't stop
|
Your heart vibrates
|
At my rate
|
So why wait
|
I hate to be irate
|
Anger causes rhyme combustion
|
Like a tornado winds start gustin'
|
Rhymes unload reload and explode
|
Riding on the same wave Malcolm X rode
|
On a higher level cause I left the rest
|
Outcast outlast f- the press
|
When I hit it's like a bulldozer
|
Boom and there goes ya
|
Whole world up in smoke
|
Cause when I go I go for broke
|
Yo I'm on the hyped tip
|
I get on the mic with
|
Tunnel vision
|
Cause I'm mic whipped
|
Strung from the lung to tongue
|
I breathe rhymes
|
That come from
|
A zone that's hidden
|
And forbidden
|
If any man enters
|
Good riddance
|
Cause a mortal mind
|
Is just no contest
|
The rhyme zone
|
Is my conquest
|
The Twilight Zone
|
Will seem like child's play
|
Am I a genius
|
I'll say
|
I'm so cool
|
And yet so hyped
|
When I'm on the mic
|
It's something like
|
World War II
|
Remember Pearl Harbor
|
Fireworks
|
But don't bother
|
To run for cover
|
You don't escape
|
On record
|
Compact disc or tape
|
Once you play it
|
The fuse is lit
|
An explosion
|
You gettin' hit
|
Rhythmic prophecies
|
Visions visions I forsee
|
Me blowin' up in your face
|
Now stop to see
|
Smoke fumes
|
In the shape of a mushroom
|
Cloud the room
|
Cause I went boom
|
I'll light the sky
|
Like Halley's Comet
|
When it comes to rap
|
I'm it
|
I'm blowin' up
|
I'm blowin' up
|
For the fans that crave
|
Hip hop with relevance
|
I'm here to save
|
Rap from an early grave
|
Like a god I gave
|
Life to the mic
|
As I watch it enslave
|
All the sellouts
|
Who yell out
|
Obscenities and spell out
|
Money to propell out
|
Of the ghetto
|
But like Othello
|
You kill the mic
|
A cappella
|
You're in the rap cellar
|
You rap like
|
Rap is a dash for cash
|
You'll run out of gas
|
It's a marathon
|
How long can you last
|
With repetitious nothing
|
Renditions of something
|
You can't create
|
So you imitate the pumpin'
|
Only the strongest
|
Can last the longest
|
I last
|
My reign is the longest
|
In hip-hop history
|
Check the book
|
Victory after victory
|
Man look
|
Rappin' is a science
|
The mic is an appliance
|
So I applied it
|
To an alliance of words
|
Put 'em in a rhyme zone
|
Blow 'em up
|
Like a time bomb
|
Other emcees
|
Caugt the debris
|
Little bits and pieces of me
|
Put my ideas on
|
A track you laid
|
Is like pulling my pen
|
Like a grenade
|
I'm blowin' up
|
Clap
|
Your hands to that
|
Old track that brought back
|
The man that rap
|
Better than the next man
|
I take an ex-fan
|
And make 'em rock harder than any other can
|
Whoever didn't understand
|
My game plan
|
Should feel ashamed
|
Like a lame
|
Cause I'm the same man
|
That ran the rap yard for years
|
Worked hard for years
|
Never got paid slaved and starved for years
|
Then other rappers came off
|
With rhymes that were soft
|
I went with the flow
|
And you said that I fell off
|
Don't be bogus
|
Where's your focus
|
Did what I had to do to make you take notice
|
Now the dollar's rolling
|
No more holding
|
Back the rap attack I'm back on top controlling
|
The whole rap game again
|
Like I did way back when
|
Def Jam was a dream I mean
|
I was slaying men
|
I opened my eyes realized and revised
|
How to get paid
|
Money was made
|
Cause I'm wise
|
Enough to do anything
|
So I did it
|
Weak rappers forget it
|
We've passed the time
|
Of the nickel and dime rhyme
|
The proof is in the pudding that's
|
Why I'm blowin' up
|
I'm blowin' up
|
Whoever thinks he wants some
|
He don't want none
|
He's got to be insane
|
Or plain dumb
|
But if you think
|
You got something to prove
|
Jump make your move
|
But come in a tank
|
And ten suits of armor
|
I won't whip ya
|
I'll bomb ya
|
When you're on fire
|
It still ain't enough
|
Cause I won't just bury you boy
|
I'll blow ya up
|
