Lyrics

[Verse 1]

His realm is a new horizon of cuts

They expand from his hand as he conducts

A melodical project, not photography

Cut Creator, Philly-Phil's biography

[Verse 2]

The lyrical virtuoso makes his return

All adversaries should be concerned

LL Cool J is back again

Allow me to introduce you to my friend, Cut Creator

[Verse 3]

He circumcises DJs when he's on the airwaves

Till the mission's complete, you're a musical slave

In his division, he'll endure any collision

Like a surgeon with a scalpel, he'll make an incision

As for me, I'll annihilate, exile, ex-communicate

You from rappin' and my lyrics are the best

Slow down the rap but not the subject matter

All you sucker DJs will scatter

Cut Creator will employ techniques that will absorb toy boy

Choreographer of cuts, Cut Creator is his name

The boy's so nice, my vocals will strain

You could rearrange, but you don't have the brains

To arrange scratch patterns full of audio change

Not trigonometry or fundamental geometry

Just Cool J, that's me, I'm dangerous

I need a beat

[Verse 4]

Yeah, I made it, don't look astonished

I had to remind you of what I accomplished

My scenario for your stereo

Us being beat, zero is the ratio

Cut Creator, LL Cool J

Say olé to what we display

Battles, we don't evade, instead, we invade

And all competitors will be slayed

Any comment is a compliment

No group's talent could be the equivalent

Of mine and his combined

Total harmony between the cuts and the rhyme

Turmoil is erased by the depth of the bass

Takin' out every sucker DJ in the place

A performance underrated is now narrated

So Cut Creator's social status can be elevated

He's dangerous

[Verse 5]

Demolishing DJs in under a second

I'll quote an old phrase from my last record

The beat elevates, the scratch excels

Except I came here to raise some hell

Serving up slice and cuts like a blade

He could squeeze a dry sponge and make Kool-Aid

Acute and steady, the record turns steady

Instead of a needle, he uses a machete

His cuts evolve to get you involved

As the record revolves, DJs dissolve

Musically, physically, mentally, he's an innovator, greater

Cut Creator is on the crossfader

So try to digest what I invest

On Farmers Boulevard is where I rest

I'm número uno, amigo with an ego

Je parle de la français and italiano

From my projects and I'll inject

Into your ears, a new concept

Conceived in silence, to be unveiled

To the Cool J phenomena, all must hail

I'm dangerous
