{DJ Premier cuts the phrase "Step up..." over and over}

[Guru]
3
Once you step in the arena, cheater; you're gonna be a-
4
mazed when you gaze at the armor on this leader
5
Fully clad and glad to find a cause, I won't pause
6
Fear is a joke, slowpoke, I'm like claws
7
that'll rip 'cause your gift, is merely flesh
8
Superficial and I wish you, would give it a rest
9
But if you don't, I'll unsheath my Excalibur
10
Like a noble knight, so meet ya challenger
11
A true hero, while you're a through zero
12
Gettin beat to a pulp so that you can't run for help
13
I heard a gulp in your throat, cause you hope that I'll be merciful
14
but coo-cluck, I made you strut as I rehearse a few
15
battle drills, and watch your bladder spill
16
yellow fluid, check out how I mellowed into it
17
Face to feet to defeat, you can tell I'm into it
18
As I'm pullin out my lance, to kill you and advance to
19
the winner's throne; cause I own you once you step in the arena
20

22
In the arena... or rather colliseum
23
There's people gatherin by multitudes to see one
24
perpretrator fall to the dust after the other
25
Quickly disposed of at the hand of a known brother
26
Born wit the art in his heart that is Spartacus
27
And one-to-one combat Jack, just a thought of this
28
match-up, makes GangStarr wanna snatch up
29
one or two phrases from the new book with new pages
30
of rhymes that are built like a chariot
31
Dope vocals carry it, to the battle set
32
If a beat was a princess, I would marry it
33
But now I must bow to the crowd as I stand proud
34
Victorius, glorious, understand now
35
cause battles and wars and much fights I have been through
36
One MC got beheaded, and you can too
37
Forget it, cause you'd rather be just a spectator
38
An onlooker, afraid you may get slayed or
39
struck by a blow, from a mic gladiator
40
I betcha that later you might be sad that you played yourself
41
cause you stepped up, chest puffed out
42
And in just one lyric, you got snuffed out
43
Cause rhymin is serious, I'm strong, I'm like Hercules
44
You'll get hurt with these lines, close the curtains please
45
and suckers can jet cause I wreck once you step in the arena
46

48
In the arena or forum, weak MC's I will floor 'em
49
Causin mayhem, I'll slay them, and the blood'll be pourin
50
Furthermore I implore, that as a soldier of war
51
I go in only to win and be the holder of more
52
trophies, titles, and triumphs cause I dump all the sly chumps
53
Never choosin to lose my spot, not once
54
For the mere idea of an opponent that I fear
55
is foolish utterly, I mean but none'll be
56
tryin to toy wit a destroyer of many
57
You shitted your pants cause you can't figure any
58
foe that can step to this concept so
59
tou better sit again citizen, weak MC's I get rid of them
60
Watch the way they get distraught when they get caught
61
in the worst positions, cause they didn't listen
62
and tried goin up against a hungry killer who's itchin
63
to mame and murder, those who claimed that they were the
64
toughest ones, they get done once they step in the arena
65
