Intro //
Oh my God / International, how you mean? /
Come tru, come tru, come tru, tell them!
Verse One //
(Yo', check it) Let me introduce myself, my name's DEF /
Got the walk of a champ and rep rap like there’s one year left /
I’m so deep in the cut but I’m no Jazz Jeff /
With no regard to the rest like I’m so Grand Theft /
But fuck the violence, we don’t get down like this /
Studio magic, that’s why the record sound like this /
(yo turn the music up!)
In the booth, burning the roof and pound my fist /
Ain’t having just anybody come around my gift / (yo')
Yo' turn the music up and let me start a war in your ear drum /
Detonate and ricochet your core like the snare drum /
Hold the mic psycho like the soldier who don’t fear none / (yo)
Veteran but with the (yo) kind of hunger found in year one / (yo)
And I don’t dare run, I ain’t afraid of suffering /
It could be that you tough or a bluff and I be that tougher man /
(what the fuck?)
So guard your space somebody might muscle in /
Push you in a hole, duck tape and now you muffling /
Yo' tie you to a pole and let the world know it's over /
Then back into the lab with a casual composure /
I told ya' I’m here for exposure / (what?)
So if you wanna' diss', (check it) I understand you (yo) need closure /
(yeah) I ain't no chaser so forget the Coca-Cola /
I spark with the flame like my energy was solar / (yeah)
And in the studio I be that match point composer / (yeah)
You bound to get check like it’s Navratilova / (yo)
Yo' I’m hard, (yeah) street, ghetto, (yeah) rugged /
No I ain't cold blooded but I’ll leave your zone flooded /
I’m Def, one of the best to ever leave a stamp /
And I came in the game with a walk of a champ
Chorus //
Me all a' walk like a champion, talk like a champion /
And I came in the game with the walk of a champ /
Me all a' walk like a champion, ram-pa-pa-pam-pam /
And I came in the game with the walk of a champ /
Me all a' walk like a champion, talk like a champion /
And I came in the game (echo) /
Me all a' walk like a champion, talk like a champion /
And I came in the game with the walk of a champ /
Verse Two //
(yo') yo' on your mark get set, now watch your set get marked /
State of the art, it's nothing kid I take em’ apart /
With the rhymes that’ll glow in the dark, I flow in the dark /
Survival, so when I’m left alone with a Shark /
I shed no blood, I’m taking that beast to Noah’s Ark / (yo')
I’m a champ and I’m so off the hook like question marks / (yeah)
And I’m the type of dude to take it back to the start /
Where your mark got set and your set got marked /
Yo' I am the Sergeant, the General, potent just like a chemical /
Music is so hysterical, make it sound like a miracle /
Cut you from the umbilical, I’m starting your life /
And there ain't nothing that can make DL depart from the mic /
I’m like a Sniper, the Hackney Pied Piper /
So turn my mic up, lighters up, I bite like white vipers /
Lock it down like Rikers /
I am one of the nicest to ever put down with these electronic devices /
(yo' check it) so Compadre’, you better hit the highway / (yes)
The ink and my paper is my ebony and ivory / (yes)
Player, I come first, I’m premier, I’m primary /
All the words in the library ain't enough to describe me / (listen!)
One of a kind, couldn’t clone this style /
These other rappers straight flop like a boneless spine /
And player I can sympathise just like a homeless child /
So when I put my record out, they just postpone they smile /
Cos' I’m hard, (yeah) street (yeah) , ghetto, rugged /
No I ain't cold blooded but I’ll leave your zone flooded /
I’m Def (yes), one of the best to ever leave a stamp /
And I came in the game with a walk of a champ
Chorus //
