About Droppin' Em
"Walking With A Panther" opens with “Droppin Em”, one of several songs that Rolling Stone called ‘the de rigueur I’m-the-baddest stuff in which L.L. disses other rappers’. The track is built from a combination of The Meters songs “Groovy Lady” and “Doodle-Oop” peppered with the perennially-sampled Billy Squier track “The Big Beat”. .
Droppin' Em Lyrics
[00:12.77] Just like Pauline, you all in
[00:16.40]
[00:22.86] Brace yourself, I'm the ace with grace
[00:24.64] I'ma win the race and make you feel disgrace
[00:27.36] In any case, yo, I'm movin' like a steeplechase
[00:28.21] MC soldiers about face
[00:31.96] Now step off, I need room for my takeoff
[00:34.68] My custom made lyrics slays, yours are soft
[00:37.46] I think you better tape this, yo, you can't escape this
[00:39.25] Yo, I planned it out just like a landscapist
[00:41.93] Whipper snapper back up for comin' crap up
[00:44.74] I plan to trap a MC and kidnap 'em
[00:47.40] Phony, so skip the baloney
[00:49.28] You and your cronies need to jump on a pony
[00:51.14] And roll, 'cause you're just a rookie
[00:53.89] When it was time for rap school, you musta played hooky
[00:56.53] I'm the show-stopper, your rhymes are improper
[00:59.38] I'ma teach you like the master taught the grasshopper
[01:02.01] Just gettin' warmer, I'ma transform a
[01:04.86] Regular rhyme into a barnstormer
[01:06.65] Try to jump, I'll bump you, chump, my job is thorough
[01:09.36] Any MC, state city or borough'll get ragged
[01:12.03] I drop like a sandbag
[01:13.95] Serious as the mob, I don't play tag
[01:16.63] Best of the batch, no man can catch up
[01:19.32] Hoes can't be passed, a battle's a mismatch
[01:22.04] I flip lyrics, like a acrobat
[01:23.90] And avoid combat like a diplomat
[01:26.60] But when it's time for battles, jacked or killed
[01:28.41] It's a thrill to drill a run of the mill Bill with my skill
[01:31.22] I'm the Lord of the rhymes
[01:33.93] And I be writin' at a rate that pace way past my bedtime
[01:36.69] I rock the mic unlike some brothers I know
[01:39.48] I guess they flow, psych
[01:42.17] I'm droppin' 'em
[01:43.95] Droppin' 'em
[01:51.20] Yo, you're all in, stiff as a mannequin
[01:53.13] I'm sharp as a pen and I'ma teach discipline
[01:56.74] I get busy like it's two of me
[01:59.46] Evidently, I'm hated by a few MC's
[02:02.29] But so what? I just max like I'm playin' the sax
[02:04.08] And take the crowd to the climax
[02:06.70] Yo, Cool J, I'll never go astray
[02:08.59] I'm funky you can hear me at the Milky Way
[02:11.26] You're weak, wick raps, I'm cool as jazz
[02:14.04] Got razzmatazz ask my man, Shabazz
[02:16.80] I know you're afraid because I'm self-made
[02:19.49] I invade and blow up like a hand grenade
[02:21.23] MC's are terror struck, I'ma run amuck
[02:23.10] 'Cause your rhymes suck, you made a record on potluck
[02:25.86] Just a toy boy, can't stop my convoy
[02:28.69] Rhymes I said last year were just decoys
[02:29.57] I'm like a fox, you annoy me like chicken pox
[02:34.09] I'm back with a style that's unorthodox
[02:36.84] You musta had a teaspoon full of bull
[02:38.60] I'm like The Hulk, with more bulk, I'm powerful
[02:41.31] They try to get with this, to me that's an insult
[02:44.09] Boys shouldn't mess with an adult, that's too difficult
[02:46.71] I enter like a giant sayin' fee fi foe fum
[02:48.62] Then rock the auditorium until it's pandemonium
[02:51.30] I'm droppin' 'em
[02:55.83] Yo E, droppin' 'em
[02:58.55] Don't sleep, 'cause I'ma go deeper
[03:03.10] All you sleepers, I'm The Grim Reaper
[03:06.72] My rhymes are rising, the angle's gettin' steeper
[03:08.62] I hated Mussolini Martini so I'ma sweep a
[03:11.35] Emcee, like he's one of the two
[03:14.12] Break him into fragments right in front of you
[03:16.96] Mic check one, two, is too fundamental
[03:18.70] My rhymes are monumental over an instrumental
[03:21.49] In the center I had to enter
[03:23.25] Tormentor, mentor, experimenter and inventor
[03:26.08] Of lyrics, so all you non-believers
[03:28.79] It'll echo in your dreams at night when you receive a
[03:31.45] Rude awakening, you can't do anything
[03:34.24] You enter my kingdom and you cry as men bring
[03:36.04] Gifts to the prince of excellence and magnificence
[03:38.74] Alarm clock rings, you wake up, and you're convinced
[03:41.44] That the crew invader, soloist exterminator
[03:44.28] Greater evader of ducks, concert crusader
[03:46.04] Is bad, my nickname's the circuit breaker
[03:48.71] Eatin' up the world, acre by acre
[03:50.57] I'm droppin' 'em
[03:56.92] Word to mother, droppin' 'em
[04:01.52] Know what I'm sayin'? Straight 'til 1999, droppin' 'em
[04:04.24] Yo, year 2000, ya know what I'm sayin'?
[04:06.16] Audi man, yo, I'm droppin' 'em
[04:12.47]
[00:16.40]
[00:22.86] Brace yourself, I'm the ace with grace
[00:24.64] I'ma win the race and make you feel disgrace
