Butcher Shop
Kool G Rap Lyrics

He's the big boss when his hands criss cross
He's excellent when he crosses his hands while DJing

Up and down the crossfader turning wax to sauce
His fast hands move the crossfader quickly, creating beats that are hot like sauce

It ain't a hip hop record that he can't chop
He's skilled enough to make almost any hip hop record sound great

Polo show them how it's done in the butcher shop
Polo will demonstrate his DJ skills just like how a butcher would show how to cut meat

The rhythm he brings makes the audience swing
The audience enjoys the rhythm he produces and starts dancing

While the plates rotates his fingers cling
The DJ's fingers cling to the vinyl record as it rotates on the turntable

To the records on felts, your earwax melts
His scratching is so good that it starts melting the listener's earwax

Scratching so hard that he breaks the belts
His scratching is so powerful that it sometimes breaks the turntable's belts

DJs relax, kneecaps collapse
Other DJs are amazed by his skills and are unable to compete

My rap perhaps is like a booby trap
His rap is clever like a trap that surprises listeners

Polo the big boar, I'm the warrior of metaphor
Polo is a skilled DJ, and he is a skilled rapper with good metaphors

Fully equipped manipulating my competitor
He can skillfully compete against other rappers and DJs

And I remain just like a stain
He continues to have a lasting impact like a stain

As long as I maintain my brainiac brain
As long as he continues to be intelligent and wise

Rap words rehearsed since first grade
He's been practicing and perfecting his rap since childhood

My utensil is the pencil and his is a blade
He writes his raps using a pencil, while Polo cuts and scratches using a vinyl record

The man at the top of the needle drop
Polo is the best at placing the needle on the vinyl record

Polo let's have some fun, show them how it's done
Polo will showcase his DJ skills and have fun doing so

Treat them like your son, in the butcher shop
Polo will train and teach other aspiring DJs like they're his own children

DJs he's disputed you should be saluted
Other DJs should respect Polo's skills and give him praise

The man gives a cut with scratches included
Polo doesn't only cut the record but also scratches it

This is a mortal combat of the Polo play
He's competing against other DJs like it's a battle for survival

Cuts like a scissor, rips like a razor
His scratching has sharp and crisp sounds like a scissor or razor

The sound penetrates elements like a laser
His music is so powerful that it can reach distant places like a laser beam

The beat connects to my dialect
His music matches well with his rhyming style

New Technic turntables, the party I wreck
He damages the party using his new, advanced turntables

Motivation to blend, the rotation begins
He starts rotating the record to blend it with the next song

They reported his fins on 1010 West
His skills are being discussed and praised on the radio station 1010 West

And his name is Polo the phonograph is for bolo
His name is Polo and he's a skilled DJ who uses a phonograph for cutting and scratching

I go solo, to battle cool G Rap is no-no, bozo
He plans to compete solo, and competing against Cool G Rap wouldn't be a good idea

Your style is so-so, equal to disco
Cool G Rap's rhyming style is average and not as good as his

Swing and some go-go, and on to calypso
Cool G Rap's rhyming style is outdated and doesn't appeal to modern listeners

So biters and reciters, don't mean to offend you
He doesn't mean to offend those who copy and recite his rhymes

Yes I will continue but I'm not a menu
He'll continue to come up with new rhymes, but he's not like a menu that can be copied or ordered from

So don't bite or swallow or fight or follow
He doesn't want others to copy, memorize, or be influenced by his rhymes

Recite or borrow rhymes and want to give them back tomorrow
He doesn't want others to learn or use his rhymes temporarily and then forget them

Polo is like Zorro, war hero
Polo is similar to Zorro, a fictional hero who fights battles

Horror, terror, errors: zero
Polo's style is perfect and doesn't have any mistakes or errors

The alert concert network expert
Polo is an expert when it comes to concerts and performances

He'll wreck dissect inject insert
Polo will damage, analyze, alter, and add new elements to music through his skills

Cuts, til your eardrums pop
His scratching is so powerful that it can cause the listener's eardrums to pop

I'm a walking dictionary, an encyclopedia
He knows a lot of words and information, and can explain them well

Rapper with data, the best in the media
He's the best rapper in all kinds of media

Or area, so prepare for your burial
He's so skilled that other rappers should prepare for their defeat

On your radio, pull out your aerial
Prepare to tune into his music on the radio by adjusting your antenna or aerial

Not a sinner, or an MC beginner
He's not a bad person or an inexperienced rapper

Cool G Rap is just me not he or she or we
He's just himself, not anyone else or a group

So please, I'm single and not plural
Don't confuse him with others, he's an individual

I'm totally high moral, excellent with the oral
He has good morals, and is skilled at rapping

Contact, and at the maximum, yo he's climax
When you hear his music, it's the maximum level of excitement

DJ Polo attacks the earwax
Polo's scratching attacks the listener's earwax

In the butcher shop
All of this is happening while they're in the DJ booth, similar to a butcher shop with meat cuts and slices
