## Beatbox Solo Lyrics

### Sonic

Get Ready, to get kicked out of your home,

Yeah T'chelly, Sonic's about to take your throne,

You think you're fast, but as soon as you blink I'm gonna be gone,

I found you on, CouldntSaveMyDad.com,

No you're not ready yet,

Oh no you're not ready to get stepped on like a cat,

He's got kitty litter,

If you want you can make a bet,

The Vibranium's gonna make him weak, better bring him to the vet,

He's gonna choke on a hairball,

You can never beat me, you can never see me I'm John Cena,

Black Panther's a Black Swan he's really a ballerina,

You fight like little babies, all the panther's got the rabies in Wakanda,

You can Never faze me with your little daisies, let me slow it down...

You can't dance!

You stand no chance,

You're gonna get crushed,

Get Snapped to dust, (Because you will..)

Because you'll loose! (Yeah you're gonna loose)

### Black Panther

You can’t stop me

You’re too cocky

Little rodent, you will give up this fight

Because black Panther back all right!

Oh my God he’s whack again

Let’s not play dumb and not pretend

He says cares about all his friends,

But they’re Never around when he’s at the end,

are you a stupid mouse? (yeah)

You need to shut your mouth, (yeah)

Nintendo bought you out, (yeah)

He’s da fastest thing around but Under water always drown,

So everybody, (yeah)

Your girlfriend’s naughty,

We had fun last night,

'cause Black Panther's Back, Alright!

(Beatbox Freestyle)

“Black Panthers back, alright!!
