Step In The Arena chords and lyrics - GANG STARR

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]
Once you step in the arena,
cheater, you're gonna be a-
Mazed when you gaze at
the armor on this leader
Fully clad and glad to find a cause,
I won't pause
Fear is a joke,
slowpoke, I'm like claws
That'll rip 'cause your gift,
is merely flesh
[Am]Superficia[D]l and I wish you,
would give it a rest
But if you don't,
I'll unsheath my Excalibur
Like a noble knight, so meet ya challenger
A true hero,
while you're a through zero
Gettin beat to a pulp so that you
can't run for help
I heard a gulp in your throat,
cause you hope that I'll be merciful
[Eb]But coo-cluck,
I I made you [D]strut as I rehearse a few
Battle drills,
and watch your bladder spill
Yellow fluid,
check out how I mellowed into [Eb]it
Face to [D]feet to defeat,
you can tell I'm into it
As I'm pullin out my lance,
to kill you and [C]ad vance to
The [D]winner's throne,

[Verse 2]
cause I own you once you step in the arena
[D]
In the arenak,
or rather coliseum
There's people gatherin by
multitudes to see one
Perpetrator fall to the dust
after the other
Quickly disposed of at the
hand of a known brother
Born wit the art in his heart that
is Spartacus
And one-to-one combat combat com[Eb]bat
Jack[D], just a thought of this
Match-up,
makes GangStarr want to snatch up
One or two phrases from the
new book with new pages
Of rhymes that are built
like a chariot
Dope vocals [Eb]carry [D]it, to the battle set
If a [Eb]beat was a [D]princess, I would marry it
But now I must bow to the crowd
as I stand proud
Victorius, glorious, understand now
Cause battles and wars and much
fights I have been through
One MC got beheaded, and you can too
Forget it, cause you'd rather
be just a spectator
An onlooker,
afraid you may get slayed or
Struck by a blow, from a mic gladiator
I betcha that later you might be sad
that you played yourself
Cause you stepped up, chest puffed out
And in just one lyric, you got snuffed out
Cause rhymin is serious, I'm strong,
I'm like Hercules
You'll get hurt with these lines,
close the curtains please
And suckers can jet cause I wreck once you step
in the [Bbm]arena

[Verse 3]
In the [D]arena or forum,
weak MC's I will floor 'em
Causin' mayhem, I'll slay them,
and the blood'll be pourin'
Furthermore I implore,
that as a soldier of war
I go in only to win and be the
holder of more
Trophies, titles, and triumphs cause
I dump all the sly chumps
Never choosin' to lose my spot, not once
For the mere idea of an
opponent that I fear
Is foolish utterly, I mean but none'll be
Tryin' to toy wit a destroyer of many
You shitted your pants
cause you can't figure any
Foe that can step to this concept so
You better sit again citizen,
weak MC's I get rid of them
Watch the way they get distraught
when they get caught
In the worst positions,
cause they didn't listen
And tried goin' up against a hungry
killer who's itchin
To maim and murder,
those who claimed that they were the
Toughest ones, they get done once
they step in the [Eb]arena
