Drumroll Please

{Chorus} x2
Can I get a drumroll please?
Drumroll
Can I get a drumroll please?
Drumroll

[Verse 1]
The air before a speech given is filled with static
That magic moment that's so potent: fantastic
Anticipation with complacent thoughts tonight
Inflation and durations ought to fly with flight
Because the main event has arrived, here I am
I have survived every disaster, fear won't stand
Battle scars like avatar and I rattle bars to prove it
Isolated like Cinnabar, I split a star less than prudent
Not just a student, I hold a black and a white belt
I pelt the knowledge that's been dealt so it's really felt
Triple threat, I write and act, but I think I talk to you best
Lest you forget, I am the MET of this set, never regret
Not talking baseball, but I am a new era like a fitted cap
So with my vivid raps I finish that so we can all hear it back
Raise the bass and repair the snare
Tonight we're making the whole world stop and stare

{Chorus} x2
Can I get a drumroll please?
Drumroll
Can I get a drumroll please?
Drumroll

[Verse 2]
Fingers tapping like drum sticks against the hi hat
E-r-s, I'm e-r fresh, you like that?
Piano flow that flips the script like a dyslexic actor
I hold keys to the city but money isn't a factor
I'm the secret chord that pleased the lord
Stronger than any sword or army or savage horde
I orchestrate in a violin mind, not a violent grind
But it's off the chain like of the rottweiler kind
Deeper than a baritone, so let it be known
If I've got space to roam, I'm a Caesar almost grown
Like the change of the channel, switch to a soprano
Blackout to nothing and start an instant scandal
Musical vandal, playing from an iPod nano
iTune into zunes and resume on a new panel
We're major like scales, but no need to salute
Just pretend I'm at the awards in my suit and...

{Chorus} x2
Can I get a drumroll please?
Drumroll
Can I get a drumroll please?
Drumroll

Footsteps

{Chorus} x2
Follow my footsteps if you've got no where to go
Follow me through Chinatown all the way to Queens-borough
Follow me until I finally stop walking
You can chose your own path when I stop talking

[Verse 1]
Follow the leader, listen to the speaker
At ease for you tweakers, time to reaffirm the believers
March through the swamps marshes and jungles
If you're ready to rumble and tumble get back and huddle
Thoughts confused and muddled, so concentrate
Tai Chi masters and Zen scholars will reiterate
Enter the dragon and re-enter the monasteries
36 Chambers of danger, be one with the killa bees
It's been years since one has learned the ways
11 more lessons have been added since those days
We took up the torch, we added to the scrolls
We lit the passageways and published our souls
The fire never extinguished and words etched in stone
This is the only way we've been taught and known
Chinatown nouns provide a pathway for the profound
It resounds in the deep mounds of spirit, lost but now found

{Chorus} x2
Follow my footsteps if you've got no where to go
Follow me through Chinatown all the way to Queens-borough
Follow me until I finally stop walking
You can chose your own path when I stop talking

[Verse 2]
It's in chinese....

{Chorus} x2
Follow my footsteps if you've got no where to go
Follow me through Chinatown all the way to Queens-borough
Follow me until I finally stop walking
You can chose your own path when I stop talking

[verse 3]
A multitude of languages pelting your mind
A divine rhyme inside every single delivered rhyme
Ascending to the heavens, striking down the earth
This gift and curse has been handed down at birth
My brain contains insane flames from emperors slain
With range deranged and unphased by the lames
The words I speak know no bounds and limits
The life of the MC are in my words, I really live it
Dynasties primed me as the final general
Meaning every action I perform is less than venerable
Ancient elders have passed down their secrets
I don't speak it or keep it, I breathe it
Five elements of the universe in my palm
A phoenix calm mixed with a tiger balm
Lions den meeting and dragon send greetings
All reside inside me, none of it is fleeting

{Chorus} x2
Follow my footsteps if you've got no where to go
Follow me through Chinatown all the way to Queens-borough
Follow me until I finally stop walking
You can chose your own path when I stop talking
