Verse
2
Knuckleheads spreadin' gossip all over town
3
Every time I drive by you're just standin' around
4
Hundred-bottles in your pocket, forty-dog in your hand
5
Don't you know you're just a worker and your boss is my man?
6
L. L. This, L. L. That, soon as I walk in the place
7
I wanna take my gun and shoot you in your muthafuckin' face
8
You're playin' me too close with the schemin' and games
9
I guess the beef and the bullshit is the price of fame
10
Movies, records, goin' on tour
11
Twenty-thousand people hip-hoppin' on the floor
12
Whole parties body-rockin', and everything's chill
13
Get back to New York, and the suckers act ill
14
See I fought with the devil, made a promise to God
15
I have experience in goin' all the way to the top
16
It's harder harder than hard
17
All the suckers are barred
18
You used to try to talk down now your ego is scarred
19
See the problem is you want what another man has
20
His car, his wife, or his razzamatazz
21
But that's weak, you gotta do work on your own
22
'cause when you're rich you got friends
23
But when you're poor you're alone
24
So get your own on your own, it'll strengthen your soul
25
Stop livin' off your parents like you're three years old
26
Instead of walkin' like you're limp and talkin' yang about me
27
Why don't you take your monkey-ass and get a college degree?
28
Or write a rhyme and ride a bike and try to live carefree
29
Hope my message reaches you before you're seventy-three
30
A old man, when people ask you what you did with your life
31
You'll say "I hated L.L. and I carried a big knife"
32
Every day is a chase, every day is a race
33
And every day you're being overpowered by my bass
34
Too much juice to be a deuce, I had to be a ace
35
It's like the fire's in my eyes and the gun's in my face
36
I'm stompin' stupid knuckleheads until they bleed
37
I'm the leader of the show, so it's up to me to lead
38
I'mma lead you away from drugs and petty crime
39
Lead you away from wack beats and rhyme
40
Lead you to that ticket line
41
So you can come in my show and watch the stars shine
42
Get busy, not dizzy, wanna teach the young
43
The last man who didn't listen ended up gettin' hung
44
Not that I killed him, it's just
45
He didn't wanna trust
46
The words of a master that's why you must
47
Take heed to the speech, it's gonna reach your ear
48
Don't try to say you can't hear 'cause the words are clear
49
Throwin' flurries, punks scurry and I bury the rest
50
You better hurry up and rock a rhyme and give it your best
51
'cause tonight's the night we gonna see the big fight
52
Twelve-gauge on the stage in case it don't go right
53
E-Love drives a tank, he's strong like a truck
54
If you're cryin' while you're dyin' we ain't givin' a fuck
55
L. L. Cool J is on the microphone
56
Tellin' all you punk ducks "Leave me the hell alone"
57
'cause I'm rated X, born to snap necks
58
Straight up and down, no special effects
59
I'm the professor, the teacher, the hip-hop dean
60
If Russia bombed the you. S., they'd be scared to touch Queens
61
'cause that's where I live, and this is what I give
62
Turnin' top-notch crews into fugitives
63
They run, they frightened, they hide from King Titan
64
Like a sniper when he's shootin' or a viper when he's bitin'
65
Here I am, tellin' the truth
66
And I'm spreadin' the word to my fellow youth
67
It goes man-to-man and jam-to-jam
68
I got hip-hop, rock, and love song fans
69
All you petty mc's in the state of New York
70
Gettin' a thousand for a show but you still wanna squawk
71
Can't get a decent contract, your beats ain't workin'
72
Dogged-out Pumas plus you're manager's jerkin'
73
Your mic sounds weak, remember that skeezer
74
I'm badder than Napoleon, Hitler or Caesar
75
I'm a hitman, but I'm not for hire
76
Fly girl's desire, the man you admire
77
Not only on the stage, I rock in the park
78
And I'm a killer in the daytime, and worse after dark
79
So don't never ever mess with the king of the sound
80
L. L. Cool J, the baddest around.
