Walking With The Panther

[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 buils 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
And 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 filet-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
Disintergrate, deteriorate, fall
I demonstrate, and devestate 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, m-c'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
Devestation, cut sensation, it's the invasion
Of l the terrible, devestating 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 l, l, 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

{*phone rings twice*}
Yo.. "hello 1-900-ll cool j?"
Yeah whassup? "can you please bust a funky rhyme for me?"
Yeah i can do that, check this one out honey

I motivate, accelerate
Devestate, and dominate
I don't smoke crack so i won't lose weight
Give me the {pussy} and the money and the mic and i'm straight
Go to a resteraunt, give me steak
Then cook my chicken with shake'n'bake
I leave all the preachin to reverand flake
How much money can one black man make? huh
I'm what's known as a true dynamiter
I write rhymes fast without a typewriter
Go with the flow, but no, i'm not a biter
Can't compare a cock-a-roach and a spider
Hell, you might as well get a glass of punch
Cause you're bitin my lyrics like a nestle crunch, huh
And bitin my rhymes ain't slick
I got your gold teeth marks all over my {*phone rings*}
Complications and aggravation
An unnecessary-sation
I'm like sunkist, good vibrations
Your al-blum, sounds like a compilation
Cool out, grab a seat and listen..
Cause i'ma start dismissin
Sucker mc's who's out there frontin
Talkin all that yang, yo you smokin somethin
Shoulda treated me royal, yo he wasn't loyal
Now it's all about chaos and turmoil
.. gimme that microphone
I'ma show you the real meaning of the danger zone

{*phone rings*}
Yo.. "hello is this 1-900-ll cool j?"
Yeah whassup? "can you tell me what you do when you're coolin out?"
Yo check this out

Now when i'm coolin out, no time for a granny
Just a fly girl in t-shirt and panties
"can ll {*censored*}?" man, can he?
I tell you what, give up the fanny
Cause on a bedroom tomb, j swift
Not too big, but nothin to play with
In addition, you on a mission
You need to audition for another position
Doin damage is a crew tradition
Name your next al-blum intermission
You're full of preservatives -- plus,
You're too conservative
I'm full of flair, savoir faire, debonairre
There's no competition, for this here
So don't waste your time and breath
I'm givin you all a big f
Mc's i envelop..
.. as the song goes on, the rhyme develops
I'm asiatic, acrobatic, charismatic
You don't want no static
Anyway, i ain't havin it!
When i see the microphone -- i'm grabbin it
Plug it in and take charge
Ll xl, xtra-large
Knowhati'msayin? peace

{*phone rings three times*}
Hello?
Hello whassup girl?
How you doin girl? i been tryin to call you all day
Word up i was talkin to ll he was kickin some mo' hyped up rhymes to me
Word, i spoke to him today too - them rhymes was pumpin
Well not to cut you short but i gotta go cause my man is here
Alright
See-ya

[ll cool j]
Yeah..
Smokin, dopin, keep your ears open
Put me on the flier and i'm guaranteed to rope in
Twenty-thousand people to the place that i play at
And have em even sayin how could someone say that
They're as good as the man who just saw
{*scratched "cool j"*} please give me some more
Of those hoopin, scoopin, rhymes you be troopin
If you don't know the new dance, patti duke'n
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, snap your fingers
I'm snatchin airplay, from all you aids catchin singers
It's a, special delivery on your front step
My picture's on the cover and the rhymes are in effect
Cause, i love to lay down, joints for the playground
And have you od'n sayin, y'know, j sound
Righteous, the brother did what he had to
I didn't talk about this, so i had you
Sleepin, breathin sayin yo he ain't keepin
His promise to astonish, from weekend to weekend
But here it is, the jam of all jams
And from this day forth, mc's are gettin slammed
With the

Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah!

I'm the wise wizard of the microphone swingin it
Here's a mean joint, all the hip-hoppers are singin it
Doin a dance in tight bike pants
So get up on it (hoe!) you'll only get one chance
To work out, the soreness in your muscles
Do your own thing, even the hustle
Mc's i'ma torture, that's already known
But while i'm torturin them, i'ma leave you alone
So you can bump, grind, and rub up against your partner
And look wild like you're tryin to get a part in a
Dirty movie on the hip-hop tip
Now tell me (tell you what?) that brother l ain't tryin to flip
With the

Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah!

Movin, groovin, admit that you've been
Shocked and rocked and i'm on top and it's been proven
I'm self-reliant, on stage i'm defiant
All those rumors are small things to a giant
I'm not a cool calm, collected type of brother
I'm kind of hype that's why i'm a good lover
In bed i'm energetic, kind of like a freight train
Goin so crazy i have the girlies sayin, "wait james!"
I do damage - use the beef to build a sandwich
And when i'm done, she'll be sayin, "how did you manage
To make me feel pleasure from my toes to my head?
On top of that, you ran laps around the bed"
So bust out the pumped up funk that i'm revealin
And listen to it, while you're in your car wheelin
On on your walkman as you're starin at the ceiling
Or when you and your love is sex-appealin
To the

Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Knowhati'msayin?
Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
It's like a smooth joint, youknowhatimean?
Uhh, aww yeah!
Real mellow, on the love tip, check it out

Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah, uhh - ahh
Uhh, aww yeah!

Marvelous!

One shot
Oh lord
You know, it's gonna be a lot of negative things surroundin you
Tryin to pull you down
But what you have to remember is
It's up to you - it's your choice
You only get one shot in life
And you only get one shot at love

Did you ever notice - everytime you fall in love
And it seems like you finally met the perfect match
Everything is perfect, it seems divine
But for some strange reason, there's always a catch
It's a one-way relationship, it hurts inside
One person smirks while the other one cries
Butterflies in the stomach of the one whose in love
It cuts like a knife, the truth mixed with lies

One shot (one shot at love..)
One shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
One shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
One shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
That's all you get

Physical and mental, those are two different loves
Physical's a moment, mental is forever
If the physical fades and gets weak, all of a sudden
Remember, it's the mental love that keeps you together
You gotta be strong and endure the hard times
Cause af-ter hard times, good times, always follow
And when you're kissin and huggin and makin love
Treat that person like there's no tomorrow

One shot (one shot at love..)
One shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
That's all you get baby; one shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
One shot at love, one.. shot.. (one shot at love..)
That's all you get {*sniff*}

Jealousy - don't let it interfere
Don't let it come in between
The love you two share, cause jealousy's a hateful god
So merciless and mean
And it's only job in life, is to ruin relationships
And pit two people against, one another
And because of this god, the one you love so much
Will no longer be your lover

One shot (one shot at love..)
Aww baby, one shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
That's all we get, one shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
I mean this baby, one shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
That's all..

I hope you understand what i just said
All i'm sayin is that you only get one shot at love in life
And you have to hold on to that shot, take advantage of it
Cause when you lose it, it's gonna hurt real bad
Take it from me
You only get one shot, and i mean that
One shot

You only get you only get you only get one (2x)
One shot at love..
You only get you only get you only get one (2x)
One shot at love..
You only get you only get you only get one (2x)
One shot at love..
You only get you only get you only get one (2x)
One shot at love.. {*fades*}

you know i don't understand why you treat me like this
It's almost like you feel like you're from two different worlds
'well, we are todd' i don't think so
You should have a listen to me right now

I can feel it now baby i can feel it now, i can feel that
Even though you're a queen and i'm only a prince
I felt the magical between us ever since
The first time that i laid eyes on you
I want you to be my girl, so i can hold you
Caress you and let you know that i love you
And day by day my love grows
Heres' where i stand, i gotta be your man
I don't care if we're from two different worlds
But we're from

Two different, two different, we're from two different worlds
Two different, two different worlds
I don't understand the way you feel
But it's just a dream and it could never be real
So face to face i can't love you
We're from two, different worlds
Two different, two different, we're from two different worlds
Two different, two different worlds

Man things are different, birds and bees
Flowers and trees, you and me
But it really doesn't matter, it makes us stronger
There's more to talk about, we'll be together longer
Trustin' me, have faith in my love
It goes so deep, girl you're so sweet
As a matter of fact, i want you for my wife
Please be a part of my life

I can't believe you won't give up
Your love is strong but boy, so what 'so what'
You can't love me, i can't love you
We're from two, different worlds 'it doesn't matter'
Two different, 'two different' two different,
We're from two different worlds 'i don't care'
Two different 'so what' two different worlds

It could never make a difference in my heart
'it could never make a difference'
Never could keep us apart
Hold on 'hold on' who cares what the world is sayin'?
'i do' my love goes so deep, 'mmm, baby' hold on
I know baby, let's take it to the climax
Two different, 'two different' two different 'so different'
We're from two different worlds 'i don't care'
Two different 'so what', two different worlds

So what's it gonna be, you wanna be with me?
I wanna be wit'chu, my love is true
All you gotta do is get into love
It's like a blessin' in disguise, sent from up above
This is your last chance, real not fate
Give me a break, don't make a mistake
Cause i'm for real, i want you for my girl
I don't care if we're from different worlds, but we're from

Two different, 'two different' two different 'so different'
We're from two different worlds 'i don't care'
Two different, two different worlds 'who cares baby
You gotta understand, you gotta understand, just take my hand, come on baby'
Two different 'have a heart honey' two different worlds 'i want you, i need you'
We're from two different worlds 'take my hand honey'
Two different, 'don't fool with the mood baby' two, different worlds 'take me
By hand'
You don't seem to understand 'i understand baby, we're two, we can work it out'
'we can find a way', we're from, 'self will change baby'
We're from two different worlds
'we're the perfect match, i love you' two different
'trust me, have faith in your heart, baby' worlds
I'll treat you right baby, i'll treat you right baby, i'll promise you'
Two different 'you never meant as much to me till tonight' two different
'i'll always love you' we're from two different worlds 'i'll never forget you'
Two, two, two, different 'trust me, hold my hand, have faith in me baby
Understand me sweet-heart, i love you'

I was at the mall, sippin' on a milkshake
Playin' the wall, takin' a break
Admirin' the girls with the bamboo earings
Baby hair and bodies built to swing
That's when i seen her
Her name was tina
Grace and poise kinda like a ballerina
I said, "how you doin', my name's big l
Don't ask me how i'm livin', 'cause, yo, i'm living swell
But then again i'm livin' kind of foul
'cause my girl don't know that i'm out on the prowl"
To make a long story short, i got the digits
Calls her on my car phone and paid her a visit
I was spankin' her and thankin' her, chewin' her and doin' her
Layin' like a king on sheets of satin
That's what time it is, you know what's happenin'
She had a big ole booty, i was doin' my duty
I mean, yo, i admit that my girl's a cutie
But tina was erotic, earl's my witness
With the kind of legs that put stockings out of business
When i went home, i kissed my girl on the cheek
But in the back of my mind it was this big butt freak
I sat my girl down, i couldn't hold it in
And said to her with a devilish grin...

Tina got a big ole butt
I know i told you i'd be true
But tina got a big ole butt
So i'm leavin' you
Tina got a big ole butt
I know i told you i'd be true
But tina got a big ole butt
So i'm leavin' you

I went to the high school about three o'clock
To try to catch a cutie ridin' my jock
My homeboy's jeep, the system blastin'
Cold forty dogs, smilin' and laughin'
Girls all over, the kind i adore
I felt like a kid in a candy store
That's when i seen her
Her name was brenda
She had the kind of booty that i'd always remember
I said to my man, "stop the jeep"
She's only senteen but, yo, don't sleep
I kicked the bass like an nfl punter
And scoped the booty like a big game hunter
I said to the girl, "yo, you look tired
Let's go get some rest, relax by the fire"
I put the big booty on a bearskin rug
She gave me a kiss, i have her a hug
I said to the girl, "them young boys ain't nothin'
You want to get freaky, let me kiss your belly button"
I circled it and teased it and made her squeal
Grabbed a pack of bullets and pulled out the steel
When i was through, i wiped the sweat from my eyes
When to the kitchen and got some sweet potato pies
Tina busted in my house while i was eatin'
You know what i said
Too bad you caught me cheatin', but...

Brenda got a big ole butt
I know i told you i'd be true
But brenda got a big ole butt
So i'm leavin' you
Brenda got a big ole butt
I know i told you i'd be true
But brenda got a big ole butt
So i'm leavin' you

I went to red lobster for shrimp and steak
Around the time whe the waitress are on their lunch break
I pulled in the parkin' lot and parded my car
Somebody shouted out, "i don't care who you are"
I paid it no attention, i walked inside
Because brian had a nine and he was chillin' in the ride
I walked in the place, everybody was lookin'
And shrimp and steak wasn't the only thing cookin'
I sat down to eat, ordered my food
I said to the waitress, "i don't men to be rude
But i'll take you on a platter"
She said, "you got a girl," i said, "it don't matter
You look like you're tastier than a pipin' hot pizza
What's your name?" she said, "my tag says lisa"
I said, "o.k., you're smart and all that
But when you get off work, yo, i'll be back"
She looked at me and said, "make yourself clear
L, where we going?" i said, "right here"
She looked kind of puzzled, i said, "you'll see"
I pulled up at ten on the d.o.t.
When she walked out the door, i threw my tongue down her throat
Pushed her back inside and pulled off her coat
Laid her on the table and place my order
And habe her a tip much bigger than a quarter
On and on to the break 'a dawn
All over the restaurant, word is born
I heard somebody coughin', i checked my watch
I couldn't believe it said nine o'clock
I grabbed my pants, put on my kangol
Who did i see, oh, yo, it was brenda
Yo, she worked at red lobster but i didn't remember

Lisa got a big ole butt
I know i told you i'd be true
But lisa got a big ole butt
So i'm leavin' you
See ya
Lisa got a big ole butt
I know i told you i'd be true
But lisa got a big ole butt
So i'm leavin' you
See ya
