Step In The Arena - GangStarr

Step up... 
Once you step in the arena  cheata  You're gonna be a  
Mazed when you gazed 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 
Superficial 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 
Getting beats ?(who a pulse)? so you can't run for help 
I heard a gulp in your throat 'cause you hope that I be merciful 
But ?(coolpuck)?, I made ya strut, as I rehearse a few 
Battle drills and watch your bladder spill 
Yellow fluids check out why melodies do it 
Face to feet to defeat, you can tell I'm into it 
As I'm pulling out my lance to kill you and advance to 
The winner's throne 'cause i own you once you step in the arena 
Step up... 
In the arena or rather colliseum 
There's people gathering by multitudes to see one 
Perpretrator fall to the dust after the other 
Quickly disposed of at the hand of a known brother 
Born wit the art and his heart is spartacus 
And wonder when combat jack just a thought of this 
Matchup makes Gangstarr wanna snatch up 
One or two phrases from the new book wit new pages 
Of rhymes that are built like a chariot 
Dope vocals carry it to the battle set 
If a beat was a 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 rather be just a spectator 
An onlooker, afraid you may get slay, a 
Struck by a blow, from a mic gladiator 
I betcha that later you might be sad that you played yourself 
'Cause your step up just puffed out 
And in just one lyric you got snuffed out 
'Cause rhyming is serious, I'm strong, I'm like Hercules <
