Intro //
Oh my God / International, how you mean? /
Come tru, come tru, come tru, tell them!


Verse One //
(Yo', check it) Let me introduce myself, my name's DEF /
got the walk of a champ and rep rap like there’s one year left /
I’m so deep in the cut but I’m no Jazz Jeff /
with no regard to the rest like I’m so Grand Theft /
but fuck the violence, we don’t get down like this /
studio magic, that’s why the record sound like this /
(yo turn the music up!)
in the booth, burning the roof and pound my fist /
ain’t having just anybody come around my gift / (yo')
yo' turn the music up and let me start a war in your ear drum /
detonate and ricochet your core like the snare drum /
hold the mic psycho like the soldier who don’t fear none / (yo)
Veteran but with the (yo) kind of hunger found in year one / (yo)
and I don’t dare run, I ain’t afraid of suffering /
it could be that you tough or a bluff and I be that tougher man /
(what the fuck?)
so guard your space somebody might muscle in /
push you in a hole, duck tape and now you muffling /
yo' tie you to a pole and let the world know it's over /
then back into the lab with a casual composure /
I told ya' I’m here for exposure / (what?)
so if you wanna' diss', (check it) I understand you (yo) need closure /
(yeah) I ain't no chaser so forget the Coca-Cola /
I spark with the flame like my energy was solar / (yeah)
and in the studio I be that match point composer / (yeah)
you bound to get check like it’s Navratilova / (yo)
yo' I’m hard, (yeah) street, ghetto, (yeah) rugged /
no I ain't cold blooded but I’ll leave your zone flooded /
I’m Def, one of the best to ever leave a stamp /
and I came in the game with a walk of a champ


Chorus //
Me all a' walk like a champion, talk like a champion /
and I came in the game with the walk of a champ /
me all a' walk like a champion, ram-pa-pa-pam-pam /
and I came in the game with the walk of a champ /
Me all a' walk like a champion, talk like a champion /
and I came in the game (echo) /
me all a' walk like a champion, talk like a champion /
and I came in the game with the walk of a champ /


Verse Two //
(yo') yo' on your mark get set, now watch your set get marked /
state of the art, it's nothing kid I take em’ apart /
with the rhymes that’ll glow in the dark, I flow in the dark /
survival, so when I’m left alone with a Shark /
I shed no blood, I’m taking that beast to Noah’s Ark / (yo')
I’m a champ and I’m so off the hook like question marks / (yeah)
and I’m the type of dude to take it back to the start /
where your mark got set and your set got marked /
yo' I am the Sergeant, the General, potent just like a chemical /
music is so hysterical, make it sound like a miracle /
cut you from the umbilical, I’m starting your life /
and there ain't nothing that can make DL depart from the mic /
I’m like a Sniper, the Hackney Pied Piper /
so turn my mic up, lighters up, I bite like white vipers /
lock it down like Rikers /
I am one of the nicest to ever put down with these electronic devices /
(yo' check it) so Compadre’, you better hit the highway / (yes)
the ink and my paper is my ebony and ivory / (yes)
player, I come first, I’m premier, I’m primary /
all the words in the library ain't enough to describe me / (listen!)
one of a kind, couldn’t clone this style /
these other rappers straight flop like a boneless spine /
and player I can sympathise just like a homeless child /
so when I put my record out, they just postpone they smile /
cos' I’m hard, (yeah) street (yeah) , ghetto, rugged /
no I ain't cold blooded but I’ll leave your zone flooded /
I’m Def (yes), one of the best to ever leave a stamp /
and I came in the game with a walk of a champ
