Def Jam In The Motherland

(album: Walking With The Panther - 1989)

Yeah, yeah, checking 'em out
Special shout-out, keeping on
Check it out y'all, my man in the house

Conqueror, absolute killer of all
Taker of blood, bouncing heads like balls
Murderer of suckers, mutilater of the meek
I get ill, so blood spills, every time I speak
Droppin bombs to amputate your ego
Suckers all weak, so let the best go, me go
They talk and talk, I invade and take over
Forget Maaco, you gonna need a make-over
I'm ferocious, animalistic, an animal
On the mic I'm a cannibal
I eat livers, hearts, legs and arms
They crown me the King of doing nothing but harm
I'm in tune with the Universe
And I'ma make you the first
Vic I kill quick, so you went from crew to hearse
I'ma Titan, keeping you frightened
I went to the Motherland, so now I'm enlightened
It's a

Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland
It's a Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland

From Côte d'Ivoire to Senegal to Egypt
Cool J I'm slay and I'm fully equipped
To decapitate, amputate and take titles
The legend in leather, I'ma real live idol
And I'm'a take souls, condemn weak men
And make microphones bend again and again
'Cause I'm bloodthirsty, why'd you try to curse me
You'll lose the battle even if you out-rehearse me
I'ma rip holes watch heads roll, like a mole
When I'm strolling with a neck full of gold
My battles' like a blackout, you can't back out
Only difference, no time to feel a track out
It's a

Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland
It's a Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland

So come forward, admit you're guilty
Admit that your thoughts some New Jack killed me
Admit you were sleeping on the skills of L
Now know that I handle mine, very well
I burn buildings, eat MCs
Smack DJs and tell conceited girls, "please"
They try to ban hard, but I'm a vanguard
And they could never get a piece of the man Todd
King Posse ruler and high roller
You losing it son, your game's getting colder
It's a

Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland
It's a Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland

I'm a Monarch, the Warlord of light
The eliminator, and I'ma score tonight
Something like Merlin, but it goes much deeper
Not just another rapper with a chain and a beeper
One sample is ample for MCs'll get trampled
Being as you forgot, I'ma give you a sample
My vocabulary's legendary. My brother, you're temporary
So put your name in the obituary
Step back the conqueror spreads his wings
Kindergarten rappers, I'm back to change things
I rock the clearest, one hell of a lyricist
I can't miss and I'm kinda like a chemist
When I put a potion together it's clever and fatal
You can never make a move on me you're still prenatal
Grip the mic tight sometimes I get callouses
And when I'm through, you face paralysis
I'm getting thinner, watch me eat dinner
I'm down to skin a beginner to be a winner
It's a

Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland
It's a Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland

Who gets the roughest, you know the answer
You're a dandelion, I'm a panther
When I pick up the mic, it's bravissimo
King of braggadocio, I'm magnifico
When I rock hard, stroll long, and walk bad
'Cause I know it makes the fake sucker ducks mad
I came back to smack wacks and pull cards
Introducing the original Todd
Just like a bloodhound but I gotcha spellbound
Your rhymes are snowbound and I can throw down
I'm like a thundercloud, I drop heavy
Hold steady, get ready, you're petty confetti
Techniques and styles they ain't ready
Ah, ah, yeah full of horsepower and I'ma devour
Steam-clean when I scream you're soft as cauliflower
I set the trap and caught you like a brown mouse
Then flip and do a Bruce Lee roundhouse
No threat exist, no man can stand
Say mic check and expect to take command

Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland
It's a Def Jam in the Motherland, Def Jam in the Motherland
Def Jam in the Motherland, in the Motherland
