(Script)
Tiger-Man, A Royal Guard Knight:
Paaaay attention!! - All ‘HAIL’ the King!
Werewolves, Adventurers (One Male ‘n One Female):
- What the ‘HELL’!?


(Intro)
Yo, welcome unto thee, here’s my castle and kingdom
I am the King, the Lion-Tiger Man
I grab the steel mic, ain’t no staff nor blade
And run this hood - Keep it in your mind


(Verse 1)
The Lion-Tiger Man in the house, spit ‘n roar  
I rock this show ‘n dance to the floor
And make ya feel so damn grrr-ood, for sure
Also set your soul ablaze more

Now ya need 1 more exp point
To get to the next level, right to the point
Gon’ stack the bucks from this - like a hard venture
In the imperial scrolls of Honor?

Well, I heard some suckers claimin’ my hood
If they gon’ overrun, shed ‘em blood
Before they cross the line, do me a favor
Ya know, they must be at six feet under

Listen up, take ‘em out, beast warriors
Seek homies at the tavern ‘n take up arms
In the name of the King, I command ya and roar
Farewell to bros, ‘til we meet once more

(Chorus)
Grrr, grrr - hail to the king’s comin’
I give ya a decree and ya bet to agree
Grrr, grrr - strain to catch my word
Fuck, no way, ya can’t throw that away

Grrr, grrr - hail to the king’s comin’
Your tough quest on his majesty’s request
Grrr, grrr - strain to catch my word
Man, ya know, my legend was born


(Verse 2)
Again I welcome ya, my beast warriors
They call me the King of the beast - or dope beats
Grown up in this hood, all concrete-covered
And I gon’ heal y’all, so ya got recovered

I heard ya got wiped of your games again
How many exp points did ya gain?
How many pieces of gold did ya obtain?
And how many treasure chests did ya retain?

Phew, that box was a mimic, not escapade
‘MP’s not high ‘nuff!’, still ain’t got TPKed (Totally-Party-Killed) 
Run, parry and run, to attempt to flee
It’s just a strategic retreat, not dead-beat

Ya can dip out - it’s not a drop-out
Got a terrible blow, but we ain’t wiped out
Gainin’ exp more, goin’ up your level more
So, smash a tremendous hit in your role

(Chorus)
Grrr, grrr - hail to the king’s comin’
I give ya a decree and ya bet to agree
Grrr, grrr - strain to catch my word
Fuck, no way, ya can’t throw that away

Grrr, grrr - hail to the king’s comin’
Your tough quest on his majesty’s request
Grrr, grrr - strain to catch my word
Man, ya know, your legend was born


(Verse 3)
My gatekeeps kicked ya out while at night
And said, “Sir, ya had a big fun last night?”
Hell yeah, I’m real busy to have a grrr-ood time
‘Cause it makes me skilled, grrr-ood at rhyme

If ain’t no way out, I’ll be there
Liger older, but I’m still the warrior
Also leader, healer, teacher, and pathfinder
Got bold ‘nuff to fold ‘em, I told ya?

Leave it to me, I still run them games
I gear up - ‘Orichalcum Fangs’ ‘n ‘Golden Craws’
And chant my magic words to enchant y’all
Ya doubtin’ me?  - Guess I gon’ say ‘Thordain!!’ (Effect: Zaaap!!)

We losin’ ground, but the castle ain’t on fire
So, run wild, also your ass gettin’ on fire?
My words make ya ten-fold-force-acquired
Bounce ‘n roar, make some noise in choir

(Chorus)
Grrr, grrr - hail to the king’s comin’
I give ya a decree and ya bet to agree
Grrr, grrr - strain to catch my word
Fuck, no way, ya can’t throw that away

Grrr, grrr - hail to the king’s comin’
Your tough quest on his majesty’s request
Grrr, grrr - strain to catch my word
Man, ya know, our legend was born


(Outro)
So, now I surely made a record of it
Well, what ‘bout it?
Ya ‘bout to continue on your venture?
Aight, our legend goes on

(Verse 1)
Yo, I ain’t killin’ machine
But stand for somethin’ you’ve never seen
And never seen a shadow get down?
Slammin’ and jammin’ to the secret scrolls
Now we blended in the mix
For all ya know, the one ya passed, could be a Ninja
Yeah, every night lets ya run
A fuckin’ rude boy’s here wit’ a mic ‘n blade
Gon’ rock and roll this field
Wit’ the power of the Ninja clan’s all the bass
Black out, I know ya ain’t playin’
Devastate the game while other shadows runnin’
Ninja, Ninja, rap! x3, go, go, go go!
Go Ninja, go Ninja, go! x8, go, go, go, go!


(Verse 2)
Chantin’ mantra, enchanted in the temple
Drop the bass ‘n get the Ninja Rap
Feel it, no time to think
Ride on the beat that your heart beats
Get your mind straight and take a deep breath
Keep it real but value your life
Just flowin’, changeable as water
Go wit’ the flow, hour after hour
‘Cause in this life, there’s no real winner
Ya’d better aim straight, ya can hit the center
In it to win it, wit’ the team got skilled
This Ninja clan gonna show ya the ropes, it’s the -
Ninja, Ninja, rap! x3, go, go, go go!
Go Ninja, go Ninja, go! x8, go, go, go, go!


(Verse 3)
If ya got somethin’ to hide - better run, better hide
Even so one day ya might not slide
So, choose your arm to stand
We’re in control wit’ the flex of the blade grip
Whatevs ya want, ya can make it yours
All’s in your hands in Neo-Tokyo here
Rockin’ your life the way it should be rocked
Wit’ the far east drop that they’ve got a lot
I know it’s hittin’, like a Ninja warrior
When the bass kicks in, ya’d better check your neck ‘n back
The eyes of Big Bro watchin’ every move ya make and
Chasin’ every track ‘til y’all out cold!
Ninja, Ninja, rap! x3, go, go, go go!
Go Ninja, go Ninja, go! x8
Ninja, Ninja, rap x8, go, go, go, go!

Ninja Rap (Revised)

Lyrics, raps and tracks by TJ The Lion-Tiger Man

This track contains samples from:
“Dream Shift”
Written by Hitoshi Shinohara and Kazuya Izumi
Performed by Silk (JP)
From the original tv animation soundtrack “Matchless, Raijin-oh: Original Soundtrack 1”, Toshiba EMI/Youmex, 1991


(Verse 1)
When I was a kid, I had an ol’ soul
On the first day of elementary school
I was like - ‘Why the hell do I gotta stick ‘round
This darn place for all freakin' years?’

Every lil’ thing, I got mad interests
But every class never kept me hype
Always out of place, just a breakdown
And I had nothin’ to hold down

When I was a kid, no fit in wit’ anybody
Every teach buggin’ me, so I cut every class
Leave it to me, I was a master of jailbreakin’
And wonderin’ where I’d bounce, smokin’

Nice to make plans ‘fore headin’ out
But feelin’ better on a whim, to roll out 
Takin’ my sling bag ‘n music player
Even takin’ a step forward to bust out

(Bridge)
If ya got bored, yo, d’ya wanna tag along?
I gon’ make it a blast for real, for sure
If ya got knee-deep, call on me ASAP
I gon’ pick ya up ‘n get ya out

If ya lost yourself ‘n straight-up cocky
I gon’ beat ya up, to wake ya up
If ya got down, when got in a low-down 
I gon’ show ya how to roar from guts deep

And give ya a lil’ guts to break free
If ya heard your tiny voice inside your head
Let the turn table spin, to turn the table

(Chorus)
Ya can shift (Ya can shift!) your game’s ‘nuff (‘Nuff!)
The spot you’re stuck in now, ain’t the whole world
Gotta grab a place gives ya pride ‘n honor
Not let ya suck it up, no more straightener 

People talkin’ mess, got a say to ya, like they want
But ain’t never cleanin’ up your mess
Them measure’s got real slippery
Go ahead whatevs they call it imaginary

Ya can bounce (Ya can bounce!) for anywhere ya want (Want!)
‘Cause ain’t no reason to keep stayin’ there
I know you’ve been dyin’ to make a move
So, tell me in a loud roar, what ya got stoked for?

We gon’ take the first step, man
Who wouldn’t be freakin’ out?
I’ve got your back when you’re uneasy
Then ya go matchless and breezy!!


(Verse 2)
Yo, why ya lookin’ down, what’s got ya down?
We gon’ bounce to have fun, rockin’ hype gear
I got the thrift shop, it’s my go-to spot
Ya gon’ love it ‘cause straight-up hype

Have some bangers hit ya diff’
I know the rec shop wit’ a dope selection
Who’s gonna make ya hype for the day?
My ‘Beastie Boys’ gon’ make my day!

Or, ya a book-head? Diggin’ into books?
Did ya know that lib’s real quiet ‘n hooked?
‘Cause librarians there let us cook
Most of all, it’s all free to check

And lemme show ya some lit arcades ‘n
My own graff spots - if you’re down
Take it now, here’s your spray to bomb
To blow open your mind deep sealed


(Verse 3)
Wassup, still got the blues in a funk?
So, lemme buy ya a teriyaki burger
Props to ya for openin’ up to me
And I gon’ talk to ya ‘bout my past

I’ve dropped out of school many times
I was 20 when I finished high school
And my fuckin’ work ain’t lastin’ long
But I can pull an all-nighter for my favs

I respect the way ya chose
It’s totally worth goin’ a long way round
Even not lastin’ long got its place
Someday ya gon’ check any answers

Now keep workin’ on your decision-makin’
And ya can get on the dance floor, rockin’ 
My exp’s speakin’ for itself
My spit’s compellin’ - ain’t no doubtin’!!

Shift Ur Game

Lyrics, raps and tracks by TJ The Lion-Tiger Man

This track contains samples from:
“Energy of Love”
Written by Yumiko Kosaka and Tatsuya Furukawa
Performed by Yumiko Kosaka
From the original tv animation soundtrack “Space Knight Tekkaman Blade: Original Soundtrack 1”, Star Child/King Record, 1992


(Verse 1)
I was raised up in the street and came from a broken home
My fam bringin’ down each other every day, every night
Kinda like a war zone - a bruised one in a storm
Or an ash-covered soldier returnin’ from the front

It’s how this world works ‘n spins ‘round
Now I know better that no baddies ‘round
Had to grow up too fast, things seen too much 
My leeched head sayin’ yes, my red heart sayin’ no

I had an attitude, frontin’ like I knew it all
But a doc called me “Pathfinders-Treat-Souls-Deadly”
Rebuffin’ any help, I used to see love ‘n hope as flaws
‘Cause my fuckin’ parents poisoned me against them flows

I’d thought ‘bout I’m a have-not in this world and
All the things I belong are destined to get wrecked
But now I realize, the world in my palm already
And rocked the crown when I was young ‘n fool

(Bridge)
People whoop me out wit’ them whips, ya bastard
To let me jump through the flamin’ hoops required
One beast got defanged but never tamed gon’ bleed
And bare the sharpened fang to keep its creed

Now the time standin’ still cold, has started again
‘Cause I felt the flame raged out of control inside
I cloaked myself in that ragin’ flame and decided
To survey this world wit’ wisdom, will, wrath ‘n word
Like Acala, cryin’ to reach out to the other shore

(Chorus)
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one 
I gon’ revive through the trials of fire
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one
I’m feelin’ my energy ‘n hot blood flowin’

Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one 
I gon’ revive through the trials of fire
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one
I’m the flame keeper wit’ my ragin’ hellfire


(Verse 2)
I keep walkin’ ‘round ‘n ‘round, on the same ground today
Hittin’ more cigs, killin’ my lungs ‘n mind black
I wouldn't let myself cry to lock it up
Somethin’ pus inside I ain’t as the pain

My ghostin’ shadow hang on the rear of me
When I freeze, fawn, faint, flight or fight
Layin’ down, I ain't down, ain't a showdown
‘Cause he’s my double or the alter ego

Then I’ve lost some flavors, cut appetite
Buzzin’ ‘n ringin’ in my ears all day long
Wide awake, and my arms ‘n legs tremblin’ on them own
Kinda like catchin’ some bugs goin’ ‘round?

And also lost the way I show who I be
I gotta follow my trail to take my roar back
One day, I bolted ‘n struck by thunderbolt
And got a stroke - the only neat thing to revolt


(Instrumental Breaks)


(Bridge)
People whoop me out wit’ them whips, ya bastard
To let me jump through the flamin’ hoops required
One beast got defanged but never tamed gon’ bleed
And bare the sharpened fang to keep its creed

Now the time standin’ still cold, has started again
‘Cause I felt the flame raged out of control inside
I cloaked myself in that ragin’ flame and decided
To survey this world wit’ wisdom, will, wrath ‘n word
Like Acala, cryin’ to reach out to the other shore

(Chorus x2)
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one 
I gon’ revive through the trials of fire
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one
I’m feelin’ my energy ‘n hot blood flowin’

Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one 
I gon’ revive through the trials of fire
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one
I’m the flame keeper wit’ my ragin’ hellfire
