Critical Condition

[Intro]
Critical Condition

[Verse 1]
S-P-E-L-L B-O-U-N-D belongs to me
But it was bitten by another MC
Thought he knew me and could do me
But that would never be, wanna see me, wannabe me
Couldn't see me or catch me
You're just a tiny-weeny Pee-wee, that couldn't match me
X-terminator, terminator X
And in reverse I'm the top that'll rock the first
Hype rhyme, of my time, every time is rhyme time
And even on the radio, rhyme time is prime time
Nickel and dime rhyme, committing a crime rhyme
An emcee would want to be like my rhyme
A rapper that's smart is the one that learns
Dumb ones die from third degree burns
Lit em up, torch em, scorch the Bentley
I'm killing them softly, but doing it sadly
It would've been all right if he just walked past
But the brother wanted wreck so I wrecked that ass
I'm doing demo, not demonstration but demolition
Leaving competition in critical condition
Whether a jam in-doors or parties outdoors
Hangin' emcees like western outlaws
Next time you hear the X rhyme won't you
Mind your own business, I know you won't do
The same that he did, you get what he got
Blindfold, cigarette, one-two-three shot
To the head, left you dead and stinkin
But at least it'll keep the next man thinkin
About what will happen to him while I'm rappin
Snatching up by the neck and bitch slap him
So next time you're feelin bold
Keep on Movin' like Soul II Soul

"Critical Condition
You're in critical condition" 4x

[Verse 2]
Your condition is critical, competition is pitiful
Oughta put it in the words of Daffy Duck, you're despcicable
Dope, if I was a drug I'd be a Kilo
Trips of 4,5,6 if I was playing Cee-lo
A roulette, a black jack like in a casino
And I still kick a slow jam better than Lillo
Rhymes is what I'm dope with, you better get hope with
Soap with rope with if you think you can cope with
Me, the D, cause that's who I am
Got more bodies than the Son of Sam
Love to eat a sandwich, peanut butter and jam
But I do not like Green Eggs and Ham
Won't slip, trip or stutter
Easily cut a, rapper like butter, make you say what a
Hell of an emcee, drink Coke not Pepsi
Knock ya out like the late Jack Dempsey
You're weak and lack style no need to act wild
Slay another rapper worse than a crack vile
I caught ya choking, no smokin' coke and
No time for jokin, cause I'm provokin'
It's just a token, chump rappers I'm yokin'
And I'll break ya down and leave ya broken
Catch ya like Batman, eat ya like Pac-Man
Stopping crime like Jake and the Fatman
I'm more aggressive than Lawrence Taylor
But I'ma good guy like Popeye the Sailor
So next time you think of battling quit
You got the nerve to call yourself an emcee? Bullshit

[Scratch]
"Critical Condition
You're in critical condition" 4x

[Verse 3]
I'm in the limelight, you're wrong and I'm right
And if you plan to bite a rhyme of mine bite the rhyme right
I'll stop you like a stop sign or better yet a stop light
And then bag you like groceries in ShopRite
Oh, boy ya, I don't eat Goya
My name is DMX but I didn't make "Latoya"
It's me the great one, rappin Pitbull
I already eat one so I'm kinda full
But I can always make room for another
Father, mother, sister, brother or whatever other
That wants to try me, they're grimy, slimey
Looking like BuckWheat or better yet Stymie
Can't deny me, take me or buy me
Wet me or dry me, bake me or fry me
I start to switch up and change the pitch up
Back smack the wack crap, you start to bitch up
No need for beefin, so keep your teeth in
Your mouth out the rhyme I caught you thievin'
Your rhymes are stolen, and you won't be holdin
A mic for much longer cause I be rollin'
Just like a bowling ball, knock ya down
Find yourself swollen and on the ground
There's no way to describe the rhymes I've written
So cold, I could leave a rapper frostbitten
So hot, I burn him beyond recognition
When I'm on a mission you're in critical condition

[Scratch]
