My Metaphors

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Watch this as I kick acapella And I'm makin' money just like a Rockefeller I'm not worried if you steal my metaphors 'Cause I got more metaphors than a bookstore Suckers never beat me, but they keep tryin' They're just pussycats, I'm a lion I can say rhymes from Newark to Atlanta (Word) I got more juice than Tropicana I'm not short, sport, step off Like spoons, I'm hard, like cotton, you're soft That's why you're down and I'm up here (Yeah) Mean, strong, cool, and cute like a teddy bear All serious rhymes, no joke Hit you like a drink, lift you likе a sniff of coke And givin' you more, my metaphor Cut suckеrs like a chainsaw In a battle, you best come equipped 'Cause I burn you like fire, sink you like a ship More deadly than the shark called Jaws Yo, get up on it, it's my metaphor [Interlude] Aw, yeah Won't you pick up on my metaphor? Yo, yo Won't you pick up on my metaphor? Can you feel this? Won't you pick up on my metaphor? [Verse 2] Come on, you gotta get off to this beat Well, Hollywood made it hard like concrete We pumped it up and blasted your speakers Sometimes, I get a little upset with the media They talk about the way I act and how I live But just like Bobby Brown, that's my prerogative So stop sweatin' me, I might pull out an Uzi And shoot like I'm fightin' in a James Bond movie The ladies love me, intelligent Black man Out on the town, I swing like Tarzan Town to town, club to club Just like Jody Watley when she's lookin' for a new love (Word) I'm tall on the mic like the World Trade Center If bein' dope on the mic was a crime, I'd be a sinner Rippin' up the mic after the program You wanna battle? You get slammed Damn, they say that boy don't play Like Calgon, I'ma take you away To a state of mind you never seen before Yo, and I could do it with my metaphors [Verse 3] Weak MCs talk about your metaphor Kill it, 'cause Slick made it better for the record So just listen and just get off me My rap keeps you woke like coffee They say my rap is like poppin' a pill 'Cause the suckers just put 'em to sleep like NyQuil 'Cause you're boring, the opposite of strong And your rhymes sound softer than a slow song By Freddie Jackson or Luther Vandross You couldn't keep up with Diana Ross So, Sly (Yeah?), my throat is sore (Yo, what's up?) Why don't you pick up on the metaphor [Verse 4] It's no problem, just pass the mic and I'll recite And I can talk more shit than Walter Cronkite Or Barbara Walters, you think I'm insane 'Cause I can say verses longer than a PATH train Or a Transit or longer than an Amtrak My rhymes are just like beer, you want a six-pack Cleanse your ear like a bar of Zest Lift your spirits like a bag of cess MCs say they beat me, but that ain't so The knuckleheads lie more than Pinocchio You silly rappers, I only ignore You suckers just jealous 'cause you can't beat my metaphors [Outro] Word, twin, that was dope Yo, let the beat roll, man, let's get ready for our show tonight Yeah, peace
