Street Fighter Riddim
D Double E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh my gosh
It's D Double
Hold tight Swerve on production
It's street fighting time

Round 1, fight!

If it's me you're mad at
You'll get a scar on your chest like Sagat
Street fighting that's what I'm bad at
My tings working perfect

I come through in a beat up Honda
Give man a hundred slaps like E. Honda
Give me the mic and let me ride the riddim
'Cause I spit the fire just like Dhalsim

I'm a lyrical invader
Climbing to the top just like Vega
You v me nobody can save ya
On the mic I'm way too major

Cos I'm shocking MCs like Blanka
I got money in the bank, I'm a banker
You ain't got money in the bank, you're a wanker

I'm quick with the hooks like Balrog
Get the ravers jumpin' like a bullfrog
And I been doing it for more than a while
In the game I'm a soldier like Guile

So, 'cause you're big like Zangief
Don't think you can ever try give man grief
You don't wanna get into no big man beef
I'm here if you want a lyrical fight

I'm that guy son
Sucking up MCs like a Dyson
You can spit bars if you wanna come and die, son
You can spit bars give it your best try son

Bus' to the head like M. Bison
In a war start waving goodbye son
Lyrical levels are too high, son
No word of a little lie, son

I'm perfect

Like Street Fighter 4
What you think they call man the street fighter for?
Man a steppin' up the gears of the war
Hadouken, straight to your jaw
Think it's a game like Street Fighter 4
What you think they call man the street fighter for?
Man I be steppin' up the gears of the war
Tiger, tiger straight to your jaw

When my CD hits the shelf
Bet you any money nobody's gonna buy you
I'm a lyrical black belt like Ryu
I'm the original like Bruce Lee

You're just an imitation like Fei Long
I can murk your crew all day long
One by one, winner stays on
Show me the money, yeah, pay me the wong

Cos I wanna big belly like Rufus
People don't get that I'm going on ruthless
Hurricane kick will leave man toothless
Try what you want your combos are useless

I'm a weed consumer
Get my eyeballs red like Akuma
Everybody's waiting, it coulda been sooner
D Double EP it's not a rumour

Like Street Fighter 4
What you think they call man the street fighter for?
Man a steppin' up the gears of the war
Hadouken, straight to your jaw
Think it's a game like Street Fighter 4
What you think they call man the street fighter for?
Man I be steppin' up the gears of the war
Tiger, tiger straight to your jaw

In the final fight
I'm the guy
Everyone wants to be my Cody

Cos you know you won't be able
To get a perfect, or get close
Let me give them a lyrical dose
Just like chicken pure man get roast
As soon as I bash my super duper Hadouken

Old school G
Just like Gouken
Hit them with the Shoryuken and Hadouken
Match my level to see if you can
Beat this let's see if you can

You be the judge, you be the jury
Look into my eyes, see the fury
You'll be pissed, like a brewery
Sick in the head nobody can cure me

Like Street Fighter 4
