When Kenpo Strikes

Everybody was kung fu fighting
 Kicks as fast as lightning
 And my sense is guiding me through endless writing
 And it might seem frightening
 But it's not it's my thing
 So come out your hiding
 It's just Kenpo striking (kia)
 I accept your challenge, right here right now
 Right or left, south paw bro I know them all
 Muay thai, kenpo, dragon, tiger claw
 Y'all I'm rude when I brawl like I'm Steve Seagal
 See, all I gotta do is get loose like I'm fluid dude
 Rolling up my sleeves on my Gi and get into it
 You and who, him and them?
 Line up in a single file
 One on one, all for one
 End up in a bigger pile
 Rojas Kenpo, I'm full contact
 Attacking in the mental I'm beyond the mat
 The ambiance of martial arts is constant
 Nunchucks chucking when I step in the mosh pit
 Win Chung dummy getting splintered apart
 My escrima sticks whipping and I'm chipping the bark
 What are you, a pink belt? I'll give you a head start
 Kumite killin', with the spirit of Ed Parker
 Way of the intercepting fist to your floating rib
 Leave your guard open again and get a second hit
 Breathe in through the nose, out the mouth
 I admire your courage for trying to come and duke it out
 Papa never taught me how to knock a brother out
 Vatos in the barrio would try to take me out
 Enrolled in the temple till I'm all Kenpo'd out
 Now I clothesline the biggest baddest cholo in the crowd
 Underground cockfight, like a pitbull's bite
 Stricken in the jaw as the canine gnaws
 Gnashing of the teeth, from the blood you've lost
 People stand in disbelief as it floods across
 You knew the pros and cons, the pain I cause
 Your blood is oozing lots
 Need towels and gauze
 I stand in my neutral bo with feet aligned
 You're better off jumping the fence to feed the lions
 Everybody was kung fu fighting
 Kicks as fast as lightning
 And my sense is guiding me through endless writing
 And it might seem frightening
 But it's not it's my thing
 So come out your hiding
 It's just Kenpo striking (kia)
 Look at me, I'm a Kenpo practitioner
 Speed like a velociraptor launching in Jurassic times
 Pistons pumping adrenaline in its purest form
 War is the last of the resort
 Your style is taken hostage
 Organized commandos of the Circle of Iron
 Words catapult through your spine
 When Kenpo strikes, huh
 It's Kumite time
 Everybody was kung fu fighting
 Kicks as fast as lightning
 And my sense is guiding me through endless writing
 And it might seem frightening
 But it's not it's my thing
 So come out your hiding
 It's just Kenpo striking (kia)
 Me and Hugo go to China Town roads bro
 Him in his clean fade and me in my cornrows
 Picking out uniforms for a tournament storm
 Black belt sparring music weapons and forms
 Ain't that the dude with the tae kwon do shoes
 Who was hating on them Kenpo cats from my crew?
 Didn't we spar with him early '92
 At the Challenge of the Dragons I dropped him in a few
 He's giving you the evil eye and mad dogs
 Let's pay for the uniforms and were gone
 I walk out the front, he follows closely
 Reaching for his pistol
 He's trying to smoke me
 Back flip kick and chip his front teeth
 His homeboy's blocking off the whole streets
 Run the guns are gonna fire rapidly
 They think you're Dolph Lundgren and I am Brandon Lee
 I'm right behind you bro, don't abandon me
 Let's hide inside of the trash till set free
 So freaking close I wrecked my clean clothes
 Koreans multiplying like sheets from Kinko's
 But they don't know Tae Bo like Hugo
 Fifth degree Black belt Chinese Kenpo
 An honorary black belt melts my whole soul
 Let's jump out of this dump, dude, lets go
 Ready to pop lock, dog we stretched out
 Attacked by a flock and threw their backs out
 Some couldn't stand the pain and passed out
 Paralyzed in the physical, life says lights out
 License to kill at will if I must
 You'll sense infinite skill when I bust
 In the streets, in the ring
 Better praise the King
 Find something to cling on
 Dragon tail swings
 Everybody was kung fu fighting
 Kicks as fast as lightning
 And my sense is guiding me through endless writing
 And it might seem frightening
 But it's not it's my thing
 So come out your hiding
 It's just Kenpo striking (kia)
