Dr Syntax - Animal Hides lyrics

[Verse 1: Dr. Syntax] Yo, I hold the stage down like it tried to escape So I had to throw my weight around and bind it with tape Still, I stay grounded, live in the place One-Forty-Eight pounds of prime fillet steak Fake clowns catch a pie to the face You s**ers need to slow your pace down Start applying your brakes Ill like I came out of the vagina with AIDS That's why I got my name out on vinyl in crates The legend's here, serving s**ers like I'm Belvedere When I enter from the venue rear bet you many cheer I am the well revered, held it down for several years Worked a circuit big enough to dissect the hemispheres I'm fooling with you 'cause in truth I'm just starting out The rep is minor but the pa**ion you can hardly doubt I've got the hardest crowds, rowdier than lager louts Starting bouts, only calming down when they're pa**ing out In club gigs I can muster up wits To get the hunnies fronting with puckered up lips Some bustas wanna rumble and they're running up quick Against the number one they should run and jump ship! Man! I'm not a dude with a pimp strut It's the UK! They don't play my music in stripclubs! Still I'm producing to sick stuff, this is underground Its not about how many floozies you picked up I did the work, I handled the grind Juggling a nine-to-five so I manage my time Here's another hot production, I'm back on the line Then I ship it to your doorstep packaged and signed Believe the pa**ion that I pack into rhymes Is actually twice as fat as the aquatic expanse that is dragged by the tides My charismatic acts will rapidly have you slapping your sides Until they're tattered as the fabric on animal hides And if a man would survive I'd leave a taste so sour He'd be wishing all my patterns were caramelized f** a chariot ride I'd rather gallantly stride Into battle using rap like a dagger to fight I'm not a gangster with a slag for a wife A chickenhead after my treasure like she's Anneka Rice I like a la** to be attractive and nice, the natural type And not a tacky slag acting mad cause I'm grabbing a mic [Outro] We rock tracks We've got that style down to a tee Have you ever in your whole damn life seen a show that can flow so fluidly
