Walking With The Panther

{*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

Word up to this slow gangster beat type thing
Check it out yo..

Jealousy - i wanna kill him and shoot him
He's a sucker - i'd like to execute him
Recruit him - put him in my school and school him
I said somethin simple, and i knew that i'd fool him
He's only mediocre, jealousy can't get with me
Hang up your clothes, cause jealousy ain't spent to me
He's just a monkey, ridin my back
In fact i kidnap, ramsack, hijack and backslap the fool..
.. see my name is cool j
I play for keeps, the microphone's my tool
I've been holdin back long enough i had to bring it
Jealousy is in the house y'all, fellas sing it

Jealous.. jealous..
Bih mellow, youknowhati'msayin?
Jealous.. jealous..
Gangster groove, word up knowhati'msayin?
Jealous.. jealous..
Check it out y'all

I'm not lackadaisical or lazy on the microphone
I bring the bacon home so jealousy go home
Or play the wall and pout about the way the prince is rollin
So when they give it up, stand back and start foldin
All your jealous show clothes, i think you need to grab a
Half-pint of cisco and hang out with backstabber
Cause i'ma break down all walls jealousy built
And then walk tall, like i'm standin on stilts yeah
Jealousy the jam is mean you'll have to rewind it
If you didn't know about him, you must have been blinded
Ask him if i'm right, he'll tell you he sure is
Excuse me for a moment, fellas sing a smooth chorus

Jealous.. jealous..
Knowhati'msayin? smooth, word up
Jealous.. jealous..
Huh, crazy gangster beat, youknowhati'msayin?

Jealous.. jealous..

Jealous.. jealous..
Word up, check it out
Check it, yo

Thank you fellas, the way you sung the chorus was swift
But now it's time to pump lyrics, and shoot the gift
His name is jealousy fellas see what i mean now turn it out
Without a doubt and if it hits you in the heart don't pout
Cause i'ma hit jealousy and his posse where it hurts a lot
Him and his boys have a habit, they always smirk a lot
And make mean faces, i see em in many places
Scared to face us, they wish they could erase us
Or outdo us, can't do damage and never will
The legend in leather is clever, man i'ma never chill
Allah take a break from this, yo i love swingin
Yo e, pop the bubbly, fellas, start singin

Jealous.. jealous..
Knowhati'msayin?
It's like a crazy gangster groove, youknowhatimean?
Jealous.. jealous..
Huh-huh, jealousy ain't got no wins, youknowhati'msayin?
Jealous.. jealous..

Cause yo i'm the prince of rap knowhati'msayin? word up
Jealous.. jealous..
Yo.. it's crazy.. i am the one
Bust it

Oooh yeah, now i'ma wind it up
It's time to move on and end the jealousy cut
And head off with a bang that sang and kicked your brain in
I flowed like water now i'm finished explainin
In the spotlight tonight his name was jealousy
And for some strange reason, it seems fellas be
Fallin for him, i hope you understood
Stay away from him he ain't no good

Youknowhati'msayin man yo (that's word yeah i hear that)
Yeah word up (can't hang out man)
Yo it ain't nuttin yo yaknowwhati'msayin
Cause we gon' do this (we gon' do it right)
(get involved man) yo get the champagne man
(just chill)

[ll cool j]
Just like pauline you all-in..

Oooooahhhh
Brace yourself, i'm the ace with grace
I'ma win the race and make you feel disgrace
In any case, yo, i'm movin like a steeplechase
Mc soldiers -- about face
Now step off, i need room for my takeoff
My custom made lyrics slays, yours are soft
I think you better tape this, yo, you can't escape this
Yo, i planned it out just like a landscapist
Whipper-snapper back up for comin crap up
I plan to trap a mc and kidnap em
Phony, so skip the baloney
You and your cronies need to jump on a pony
And roll, cause you're just a rookie
When it was time for rap school, you musta played hooky
I'm the show-stopper, your rhymes are improper
I'ma teach you like the master taught the grasshopper
Just gettin warmer, i'm a transform a
Regular rhyme into a barnstormer
Try to jump i'll bump you chump, my job is thorough
Any mc, state city or borough'll get ragged
I drop like a sandbag
Serious as the mob - i don't play tag
Best of the batch, no man can catch up
Hoes can't be passed, a battle's a mistmatch
I flip lyrics, like a acrobat
And avoid combat like a diplomat
But when it's time for battles, ?? jacked or killed
It's a thrill to drill a run of the mill bill
With my skill, i'm the lord of the rhymes
And i be writin at a rate that pace way past my bedtime
I rock the mic unlike
Some brothers i know, i guess they flow, psych
I'm droppin em

Droppin em

Yo, you're all in, stiff as a mannequin
I'm sharp as a pen and i'ma teach discipline
I get busy like it's two of me
Evidently, i'm hated by a few mc's
But so what? i just max like i'm playin the sax
And take the crowd to the climax
Yo - cool j, i'll never go astray
I'm funky you can hear me at the milky way
You're weak, wick raps, i'm cool as jazz
Got razamatazz ask my man shabazz
I know you're afraid because i'm self-made
I invade, and blow up like a hand grenade
Mc's are terrorstruck, i'ma run amuck
Cause your rhymes suck, you made a record on potluck
Just a toy boy, can't stop my convoy
Rhymes i said last year were just decoys
I'm like a fox, you annoy me like chicken pox
I'm back with a style that's unorthodox
You musta had a teaspoon full of bull
I'm like the hulk, with more bulk, i'm powerful
They try to get with this, to me that's an insult
Boys shouldn't mess with an adult, that's too difficult
I enter like a giant sayin fee fi foe fum
Then rock the auditorium until it's pandemonium
I'm droppin em

Yo e, droppin em

Don't sleep - cause i'ma go deeper
All you sleepers, i'm the grim reaper
My rhymes are rising, the angle's gettin steeper
I hated mussolini martini so i'ma sweep a
Emcee, like he's one of the two
Break him into fragments right in front of you
Mic check one two, is too fundamental
My rhymes are monumental over an instrumental
In the center, i had to enter
Tormentor mentor experimentor and inventor
Of lyrics, so all you non-believers
It'll echo in your dreams at night when you receive a
Rude awakening, you can't do anything
You enter my kingdom and you cry as men bring
Gifts to the prince of excellence and magnificence
Alarm clock rings, you wake up, and you're convinced
That the crew invader, soloist exterminator
Greater evador of ducks, concert crusader
Is bad, my nickname's the circuit breaker
Eatin up the world, acre by acre
I'm droppin em

Word to mother, droppin em!
Knowhati'msayin? straight til 1999, droppin em!
Yo, year two thousand, yaknahmsayin?
Audi man

Yo i'm droppin em

I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali.. hmm, i don't think so
I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali.. i don't think so

Going back to cali, stylin, profilin
Growlin, and smilin, while in the sun
The top is down, on the black corvette
And it's fly, cause it's sittin on dayton's
Laurents steering wheel, plushed out, gold-leaf phantom top
And three girls waiting
Vrrrroom engine's blowin, the chrome, is shining
Passing all the cars on the way
Movement of the wind, back wheels spin
Pop in a cassette and push play

I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali - yea y'all, i don't think so
I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali..

I'm going back to cali, shakin 'em, bakin 'em
Takin 'em to spots they never before hung
?? the place, on sunset it's a trip
Where the a.c.'s cold, and the girls still strip
The record skip, but this girl kept dancin
Prancin, grindin, grinnin, romancin
I asked her to the barn, so we could hit the hay
I wanna do this, brutus, but i don't wanna pay

I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali - no man i don't think so
I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali..

..

I'm going back to cali, rising, surprising
Advising realizing, she's sizing me up
Her bikini - small; heels - tall
She said, she liked, the ocean
She showed me a beach, gave me a peach
And pulled out the suntan lotion
Now i thought that was fast, but this girl was faster
She's lookin for a real good time
I said, "close your eyes, i got a surprise,"
And i ran away with the bottle of wine

I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali.. i don't think so
I'm going back to cali, cali, cali
I'm going back to cali.. i don't think so

{*saxophone solo*}

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*}

Chorus: ll cool j and girl (repeat 4x)

(they're jinglin, baby) go 'head, baby

[ll cool j]
They call me uncle l, future of the funk
Records i recorded minus all the junk
People spread gossip and believe what they must
While i slam dunk {fags} and make em bite the dust
A minute is needed to make a phony roni bleed
And put him in a bucket like it's chicken feed
Check out the - pick of the litter, not a quitter, i'm nice y'all
And i'ma dust you off and dust you off twice
You never heard this so observant all hysterical fan-
-natics of the asiatic miracle man
Prominent, dominant, mccoy and i'm real
If you're another brother's fan? forget how you feel
Cause he's so-so, i got the instinct
They call me deputy dog, now put your {ass} in the clink
Innovating, devestating, and dope on the single now
Let me see your earrings jingle

Chorus

[ll cool j]
I chopped you, chewed you, baked you and {fucked} you
That {shit} you pop, you need to stop, you're kind of rude you
No good {niggaboo} tryin to base
How we livin holmes? get out my face!
I'm complete, in effect, and i can't fall
I rise, suprise, and i advise you all
To stand back and peep, don't sleep or doubt
My skill'll get ill, i turn the mother out
I'm top-notch, you're still playin hop-scotch
Now i'ma do ya while the party people watch
You're real funny, you really try to go for yours
But i know why: you ain't had no dough before
So you tried and lied to drain my fame
This ain't a game, yo, you know my name
Forget all the mc's who like to mingle
Yo baby, let me see your earrings jingle

Chorus

[ll cool j]
When you first walked in, i ain't know what to think
You grabbed the microphone like your {shit} don't stink
And tried to run down that; i can't get over that
{bullshit} you were sayin - you call that a battle rap?
How you gonna go against an army with a handgun?
I'm cool j, yo you don't understand, son
I'm a legend, on top of that i'm livin
Now you look stupid like that {bitch} ms. givens
Whoever geesed you up; nah, how should i say it?
Whoever set you up, they knew just how to play it
Cause man, yo, i feel for you brother
I'm a baaaaaad... (word to my mother!)
Takin out suckers while the ladies pucker
And rollin over {niggaz} like a redneck trucker
Innovatin, devastatin, and dope on a single, now
Lemme see your earrings jingle

Chorus

[ll cool j]
Yeah baby, you know what i mean?
You like be jinglin crazy, word
(yeah yeah yeah)
All over this funky beat
You be like jinglin, and your earrings be jinglin
And shakin all over the place and all (mm-hmm)
It's like real, it's real wild to me honey yaknahwhatimean?
The way you be jinglin, worrrrrrd

Chorus

[ll cool j]
Can't believe you tried to grip the same mic as me
Your grip's too weak, you can't hold it, b
You can dream of makin progress and gettin this nice
But when i roll up, it's like hip hop vice
I serve to curbs, i never swerve i'm superb
Every word you heard played tricks on your nerves
You played your hand, lost track of your plan
When i show up, i blow up, end of story, my man
I'm a play you like a poker chip, that's what you get
I bet your fret, sweat, and regret you met
The titan of fightin, excitin when writin, you triflin toy-boy
I gotta enlighten, so start bitin
You know you can't create and get mean like this
When i'm on the court, g, it's strictly swisssshhhh!
When it's all over, said and done, my friend
They say, "that {bad motherfucker} just scored again"
So take a step back, give me some room to wreck shop
Here's your token back, you're gettin off at the next stop
I'ma deliver and give a speech with vigor
I drink some olde e and start waxin {niggaz}

Chorus 2x
