A heavy rap Lyrics

i can run faster than any gazelle
last time I had a race i left him
on the inside corner of the indy 500
i can outswim any old fish
give a dolphin a half-hour start
and still beat him across the ocean

i mean I'm so bad i gave a falcon
a half-mile lead and beat him to the top
of the mountain

i roared so loud the lion hung his head
in shame and his wife came and asked me to
please
leave that part of the jungle as her husband's
feelings
were so hurt by my together thing

i had a jumping contest with a kangaroo and
jumped clear outa Australia and passes the
astronauts

on their way hack down
i can rap so hard Rap Brown hates to be
in the same town with me
and I'm only ten
this year coming

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
