He's the big boss when his hands criss-cross
Up and down, across fader, turn the wax soft
It ain't a hip-hop record that he can't chop
Polo, show 'em how it's done in the butcher shop
The rhythm he brings makes the audience swing
While the plates rotate, his fingers cling
To the records on Phelps, your earwax melts
Scratches so hard that he breaks the belts
DJs relapse, kneecaps collapse
My rap perhaps is like booby traps
Polo the big boar, I'm the warrior metaphor
Fully equipped, manipulatin' my competitors
And I remain just like the same
As long as I maintain my brainiac brain
Rap words rehearsed since first grade
My utensil is a pencil and his is a blade
The man at the top of the needle drop
Polo, let's have some fun, show 'em how it's done
Treat 'em like your son in the butcher shop
DJs, he's disputed, he should be saluted
The man gives a cut with scratches included
I'm Kool G Rap, he's my DJ
This is a mortal combat of the Polo play
Cuts like a scissor, rips like a razor
The sound penetrates elements like a laser
The beat connects to my dialect
Two technique turntables, the party I wreck
Motivation to blend, the rotation begins
They reported his spins on 1010 WINS
And his name is Polo the Phonographic Robolo
I go solo, to battle Kool G Rap is a no-no, bozo
His style is so-so, equal to disco
Twinkies and go-go and oldie calypso
So biters and reciters, don't mean to offend you
Yes, I will continue, but I'm not a menu
So don't bite or swallow or fight or follow, recite
Or borrow rhymes and wanna give 'em back tomorrow
Polo is like Zorro, war hero
Horror, terror, errors, zero
The alert concert network expert
He'll wreck, dissect, inject, insert
Cut 'til your eardrums pop
Polo, show 'em how it's done in the butcher shop
I'm a walking dictionary, an encyclopedia
Rapping with data, the best in the media
Or area, so prepare for your burial
On your radio, pull out your aerial
Antenna 'cause this one is a winner
Not a sinner or an MC beginner
Kool G Rap is just me, not he or she
Or we or any other MC, so flee
I'm singular, not plural, I'm totally high-moral
Excellent with the oral contact
And at the maximum, you reach climax
DJ Polo attacks the earwax
In the butcher shop
