LL Cool J Lyrics

Check this
Pay attention and listen carefully

I excel, they fell, I said, well, hell
I am superior and succeed while others fail

L can yell or make 'em melt like gel
My powerful voice can intimidate and overwhelm others

I signed the contracts that buils up stacks
I have secured lucrative deals that generate wealth

Play the wall or fall I stand tall you're small in fact
Whether staying in the background or taking the spotlight, I remain confident and others are insignificant

Step aside, you might get fried
Move away, as I have the ability to verbally destroy

By the super technique that the rapper applied
Through my exceptional skills and style as a rapper

As a matter of fact, the impact will distract
Indeed, the impact of my performance will divert attention

Your attention away, from the rest who say
Taking focus away from other rappers claiming to be the best

They can mess with Cool J the best of to-day
They can't compete with LL Cool J, who is the best in the game

And best 'cause the rhymes are so funky fresh
I am the best because my rhymes are creatively new and exciting

I'ma attack smack and make 'em stand back
I aggressively confront and make others retreat

Black strong as cognac I got the knack
I possess great strength and talent like a strong alcoholic drink, cognac

To rhyme to the rhythm of this, and give 'em a gift
I can freestyle and flow effortlessly to the beat, offering a flawless performance

That's swift, other rappers are stiff and don't riff with
My delivery is smooth and fast, unlike other rigid and mediocre rappers

Mr. Smith, 'cause that ain't safe
Referring to his stage name, LL Cool J, as a warning that challenging him is risky

I get you wide open like an uncut eighth
I captivate and mesmerize you like potent drugs, leaving you under my influence

I write to fight, don't bite, to reach heights
I write lyrics to engage in battles, not imitate others, in order to achieve success

The mic makes right, give me the spotlight
The microphone empowers me and I deserve the center stage

So I can prove the pen is mightier than the sword
I want the opportunity to demonstrate that words have greater power than physical force

LL hard as hell, the lyrical lord
LL Cool J is tough and skilled as a rapper

The counterfeit misfits that rap had to admit that
Inauthentic and untalented rappers had to acknowledge their inferiority

My rhymes are so dangerous, I need a permit to rap
My lyrics are so potent and impactful, it's as if I require authorization to perform

Solo, on the microphone
Performing alone with complete control and dominance

MC's, don't let me catch you alone
Other rappers should avoid being in my presence without backup

Yo, I got the kick of a kettle drum, guaranteed to overcome
My skill and impact are equivalent to the powerful beats of a kettle drum, ensuring my victory

You're just a minimum, messing with the maximum
Compared to me, you are insignificant and outmatched

And when I swung my tongue among the high strung
When I unleash my verbal assault on sensitive and easily offended MCs

Young MC's, they all got done by the legend
Younger rappers were defeated and outperformed by LL Cool J, an established legend

Every second I'm wrecking
I am continuously delivering powerful and impressive performances

Not a mistake you'll find, but you can keep checking
I am flawless and unbeatable, but feel free to verify

Out the sound you'll find that it's genuine
Upon listening closely, you'll recognize the authenticity and genuineness of my music

Bet that you'll rewind this a thousand times
I guarantee that you will replay this song multiple times

You can taste the bass like it's filet-of-sole
The deep tones and vibrations of the bass are rich and satisfying, like a gourmet fish dish

I leave the microphone full of bullet holes
I figuratively damage and leave my mark on the microphone, leaving it full of holes

I drop the bomb like I'm in 'Nam and go beyond
I unleash explosive and impactful rhymes comparable to dropping bombs in the war-torn Vietnam

The normal boundaries of too much harm
I exceed the limits of causing damage and destruction with my powerful lyrics

To MC's, but as they say please I freeze
When I flex my skills on the mic, other MCs freeze in awe and admiration

Rhymes like these kill like a disease
My rhymes are deadly and destructive, spreading like a contagious disease

Tried to fill my shoes, and caught the blues
Attempting to imitate me and take my place resulted in failure and disappointment

Because they get bruised by the rhymes I choose
Their egos and reputation are damaged by the rhymes I select to attack them

I kill rappers at random, I don't understand 'em
I defeat and destroy other rappers without rhyme or reason, not comprehending their inferior skills

The ones I didn't get, are on a memorandum
Those I haven't targeted yet should take note and be prepared for their turn to be attacked

Lines I recite are spontaneous
The lyrics I deliver are improvised and come naturally to me

The nursery rhymes you write, are miscellaneous
The amateur and insignificant rhymes other rappers produce are random and unimportant

So pass the crown, bow down and give in
Relinquish your claim to greatness, show respect, and surrender to my superiority

I'm the Prince of Rap, that's how we livin'
I am the dominant figure in the rap industry, and this is the lifestyle I embody

Setting milestones on the microphone
I am achieving significant successes and accomplishments in my performances on the mic

Empires are overthrown, and I ain't even baritone
I am capable of overthrowing even the most powerful figures in the industry, despite not having a deep singing voice

No joke I spoke then God stroke
My words are serious and impactful, and they have the power of a divine force

As Job tried to sweat the style and got soaked
Comparing himself to the biblical figure Job, who experienced suffering and defeat when challenging LL Cool J's style

Conquered and killed on the microphone
I am undefeated and eliminate any competition when it comes to rapping

MC's, don't let me catch you alone
Other rappers should avoid being in my presence without backup

LL's nitro!
LL Cool J's rap style is explosive and powerful like nitroglycerin

Nitro!
Emphasizing the explosive and energetic nature of LL Cool J as an artist

Yo, flammable, like gasoline
I am highly volatile and capable of causing destruction, similar to gasoline

Threatening, like a guillotine
I am intimidating and dangerous, just like a guillotine used for executions

It's like a bad dream when you battle my team
Challenging me and my crew is a nightmare scenario, resulting in a crushing defeat

I go to every extreme to make MC's scream
I push the boundaries and go to great lengths to make other rappers fear and struggle

I'm clever, I last forever, we can do whatever
I possess wit and intelligence, and my legacy will endure; I am open to any challenge

With whoever, whenever, I never
I am ready and willing to face anyone, at any time, without hesitation

Ever got rocked, stopped or dropped
I have never been defeated, halted, or fallen from my position

They got popped, by the hip-hop rock that I concoct
Other rappers have been defeated and overpowered by the powerful blend of hip-hop I create

I'm so nice yo, flowing with the maestro
My skills and delivery are exceptional, effortlessly flowing alongside the musical conductor

Murdering and hurting MC's because I'm nitro
I metaphorically kill and inflict harm upon other rappers, fueled by my explosive and aggressive style

The earthquakes'll kill snakes and fakes
The impact of my performances will expose and eliminate deceitful and fake individuals

You can't flake, you made a mistake, give me a break, thanks
Don't try to deceive or back out now, as you've already made an error, so admit defeat and move on

Now that we're straight and that's clear
Having resolved any misunderstandings, ensuring clarity and understanding

Watch all the big mouths, disappear
Observe as those who boasted and spoke arrogantly withdraw and fade away

Disintegrate, deteriorate, fall
Others crumble, decline, and are defeated

I demonstrate, and devastate you all
I exhibit my skills and destroy all opposition

There's no doubt about the fact I turn it out, the wack
There is unquestionably no debate that I deliver an outstanding performance and outshine mediocre rappers

Be on the lookout, LL made a comeback
Pay attention and stay alert, as LL Cool J has returned with renewed success

Full of power, I'ma devour
I am full of strength and energy, ready to consume and overcome anything in my path

I stand tall as a tower, I won't allow a
I possess unwavering confidence and refuse to back down

MC to see-O-M-E, see-L-O-S-E
I will defeat any MC who tries to challenge and engage in a battle with me

Play me long D-I-S-T-A-N-see-E, M-see's
Don't underestimate my abilities, as I am distant and superior to other rappers
