Jealous
LL Cool J Lyrics

Yeah you know what I'm saying?
Introduction to the topic of the song.

It's real funny you know hat I mean?
There is something strange happening that I cannot believe.

I like can't believe this y'know
The singer cannot believe the situation.

Jealousy like tried to move on me you know what I'm sayin?
Jealousy has approached the singer.

So I said nah I ain't gonna, y'know make no energetic hyped up yelling, type joint, know what I mean?
The singer responded calmly and maturely to Jealousy's approach.

I'm just goin' cool back, you know what I'm sayin?
The singer is not going to let Jealousy rile him up.

Word up to this slow gangster beat type thing
Praise for the music accompanying his words.

Jealousy, I wanna kill him and shoot him
Jealousy is not welcome and the singer wants nothing to do with him.

He's a sucker, I'd like to execute him
The singer sees Jealousy as a weakling and wants him gone.

Recruit him, put him in my school and school him
The singer would try to help Jealousy, but he knows that is not possible.

He's only mediocre, jealousy can't get with me
Jealousy is not up to par with the singer.

Hang up your clothes, cause jealousy ain't spent to me
Jealousy is not needed in the singer's life.

He's just a monkey, riding my back
Jealousy is a burden on the singer.

In fact I kidnap, ram-sack, hijack and back slap the fool, see my name is Cool J
The singer will not let Jealousy interfere with his success.

I've been holding back long enough I had to bring it
The singer is tired of holding back and wants to address Jealousy.

Jealousy is in the house y'all, fellas sing it
Jealousy is here, but the singer and his friends will not let him spoil the fun.

Jealous, jealous, There's no need to be
Jealousy is not necessary and should not be present.

Jealous, jealous Be mellow, you know what I'm saying?
Jealousy should calm down and not disrupt the peace.

Jealous, jealous, Gangster groove, word up know what I'm saying?
The music accompanying the song adds to the atmosphere the singer wants to create.

Jealous, Jealous.. Check it out y'all
Continue to listen to the song for more insights.

I'm not lackadaisical or lazy on the microphone
The singer takes his music seriously and puts effort into his craft.

I bring the bacon home so jealousy go home
The singer is successful and does not need Jealousy around.

Or play the wall and pout about the way the prince is rolling
Jealousy can either accept the situation or be unhappy about it.

So when they give it up, stand back and start folding
Jealousy should give up trying to compete and accept defeat.

All your jealous show clothes, I think you need to grab a half-pint of Cisco and hang out with Backstabber
Jealousy should hang out with others who share his negative mindset.

Cause I'ma break down all walls Jealousy built and then walk tall, like I'm standing on stilts yeah
The singer will overcome any obstacles Jealousy puts in his way.

Jealousy the jam is mean you'll have to rewind it If you didn't know about him, you must have been blinded
Jealousy is a problem and the song is addressing it.

Ask him if I'm right, he'll tell you he sure is
Jealousy will realize the singer is correct about the situation.

Excuse me for a moment, fellas sing a smooth chorus
Pause for a moment to let the music take the lead.

Jealous, jealous, Know what I'm saying? Smooth, word up
Jealousy should not be in the picture and we should focus on the smooth music.

Jealous, jealous, Huh, crazy gangster beat, you know what I'm saying?
The music adds to the intensity of the message.

It's like a gangster lean
The energy of the song is akin to a gangster's swagger.

Yeah yeah you know what I'm saying?
The singer wants to connect with the audience.

It's Cool J in the house, you know what I'm saying?
The singer wants to assert his presence and authority.

Word up, check it out
Pay attention to the message of the song.

Thank you fellas, the way you sung the chorus was swift
The singer thanks his supporters for their contribution to the song.

but now it's time to pump lyrics, and shoot the gift
Focus on the message of the song.

His name is Jealousy fellas see what I mean now turn it out without a doubt and if it hits you in the heart don't pout
Jealousy is a cause of concern and should not be taken lightly.

Cause I'ma hit Jealousy and his posse where it hurts a lot
The singer will address Jealousy and his followers with force.

Him and his boys have a habit, they always smirk a lot and make mean faces
Jealousy and his followers have negative attitudes and behaviors.

I see em in many places, Scared to face us, they wish they could erase us or outdo us, can't do damage and never will
Jealousy and his followers are intimidated by the singer and his supporters.

The Legend in Leather is clever, man I'ma never chill
The singer is talented and confident and will not back down from challenges.

Allah take a break from this, yo I love swingin'
The singer is taking a moment to praise and enjoy the music.

Yo E, pop the bubbly, fellas, start singin'
The singer invites his supporters to celebrate with him.

Jealous, Jealous, Know what I'm sayin? Smooth, word up
Jealousy should be eliminated from the picture and the music should be enjoyed.

Jealous, jealous, Huh-huh, Jealousy ain't got no wins, you know what I'm sayin'?
Jealousy cannot win against the singer and his supporters.

Jealous, jealous, Yo but it ain't nothing you know what I'm sayin'?
Jealousy is not a problem and the singer is not bothered by him.

Cause yo I'm the prince of rap know what I'm sayin'? Word up
The singer is talented and confident in his abilities.

Jealous, jealous, Yo, it's crazy, I am the one Bust it
The singer is the best and has no competition.

Oh yeah, now I'ma wind it up
The song is coming to an end.

It's time to move on and end the Jealousy cut
The singer is ready to move on from the topic of Jealousy.

and head off with a bang that sang and kicked your brain in
The song ended on a high note.

I flowed like water now I'm finished explainin
The singer has expressed himself effectively and is done talking about Jealousy.

In the spotlight tonight his name was Jealousy
Jealousy was the focus of the song.

And for some strange reason, it seems fellas be falling for him, I hope you understood
Jealousy is a common and negative emotion, but should not be followed.

Stay away from him he ain't no good
Jealousy is harmful and should not be indulged.

You know what I'm saying man yo (that's word yeah I hear that)
The singer is reiterating the message to his listeners.

Yeah word up (can't hang out man) Yo it ain't nothing yo ya know what I'm saying cause we goin' do this (we goin' do it right) (get involved man) Yo get the champagne man (just chill)
The party is not over and everyone should continue enjoying themselves without letting Jealousy ruin the mood.
