Mental Stamina

[Intro: Jeru the Damaja & (Afu-Ra)]

Yo, Afu (Yo, whassup?)

Yo, yo, c'mere, c'mere

Yo, let's freak that rhyme we was freakin' the other night

(Yo, I'm wit' it, yo, just set it off)

I'm sayin' though, after this, it's no turnin' back, 'Fu

(A-yo, just set it off, man)

[Verse 1: Jeru the Damaja & (Afu-Ra)]

Pugilistic linguistics

Check out the mystics, we're fantistic (You mean fantastic)

Fuck it! You'll get your ass kicked

Challenge my verbal gymnastics (Vernacrobatics)

Vocabulary calisthenics

Can't understand, the mathematics are esoteric

Watch the style, but also peep the lyrics

My lightning, my thunder, way back I stomped out Heracles

But now I stomp out MC's

Can't chill, because the Sun don't freeze

Heavy metal, hard like titanium

Alchemist, I turn wax into platinum

[Verse 2: Afu-Ra]

Influential, scientifical power

My mental violence will shower

Devour at a crazy rate

I'm speedin' through your circuits, and I perforate in data banks

Stamina in the brain is how I slay it

I enforce my voice and I always must obey it

Endorsin' of central rhymin' remedies

Against any man at arms that can get with the

Eternal, internal alchemist

I spill logic and science, ever since

Throwin' cerebral blows without my fist

Poisonous Taoist

Don't mess with toys in this racket

Terrorists — don't proceed to hijack it

[Verse 3: Jeru the Damaja]

It's too perverted, you heard it, so now you get murdered

Test the sound system, it throws off your equilibrium

Deep concentration can't fracture the meditation

Competition is flipped on at random

Deviant monks attack the mic, it's mental pandemonium

And then some, you go for your hand gun

Psychokinetic forces proceed to smash in your cerebellum

Phonetician with more stamina than a Christian

My mind, C3H5N3O9 like nitroglycerine

I bust as Afu-Ra crush, clash with us and meet Cerebus

[Verse 4: Afu-Ra]

Ready! Ridiculous ravagery as I commence

I whirlwind through cities

Breakin' down substances, combinin' matter

Test my hand skills and back bones splatter

Rough and tough, although the mental will stomp ya

Pugilism, electrocute like Blanka

Collaborate all my words into verses

I instill the will without even curses

Slurs, escapade off the beat

Totally complete with the unique physique

Microcosmic warrior, indeed, I'll destroy ya

And this mic, I'm takin' over
