Radio
LL Cool J Lyrics

My radio, believe me, I like it loud
I love blasting my radio at high volumes

I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd
I'm the guy who can make everyone dance with my music

Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat
I walk around listening to hardcore music on my radio

While my JVC vibrates the concrete
My radio's bass is so strong that it vibrates the ground

I'm sorry if you can't understand
I apologize if you don't like my loud music

But I need a radio inside my hand
I can't live without my radio

Don't mean to offend other citizens
I don't want to upset anyone else with my music

But I kick my volume way past 10
I turn my radio up to the highest volume possible

My story is rough, my neighborhood is tough
My life has been hard in a tough neighborhood

But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush
I still have style and confidence despite my tough life

My name is Cool J, I devastate the show
I'm LL Cool J and I'm a great performer

But I couldn't survive without my radio
I can't perform without my music

Terrorizing my neighbors with the heavy bass
My music is so loud that it bothers my neighbors

I keep the suckers in fear by the look on my face
I intimidate people with my serious expression

My radio's bad from the Boulevard
My radio is awesome when I'm walking on Farmers Boulevard

I'm a hip-hop gangster and my name is Todd
I'm a tough, cool guy named Todd who loves hip-hop

Just stimulated by the beat, bust out the rhyme
The music inspires me to start rapping

Get fresh batteries if it won't rewind
If my radio doesn't work well, I just replace the batteries

Cause I play everyday, even on the subway
I listen to my music every day, even when I'm on the subway

I would of got a summons but I ran away
I almost got in trouble for my music but I avoided it by running away

Suckers on my jock when I walk down the block
People stare at me when I walk because of my style and confidence

I really don't care if you're jealous or not
I'm not bothered by people who envy me

Cause I make the songs, you sing along
I'm the one who creates music that people love to sing

And your radio's def when my record's on
My music is so good that it sounds great on any radio

So get off the wall, become involved
Stop standing around and start dancing to my music

All your radio problems have now been solved
You don't need to worry about finding good music because I provide it

My treacherous beats make ya ears respond
My powerful music makes you want to move and dance

And my radio's loud like a fire alarm
My radio is as loud as a fire alarm

The floor vibrates, the walls cave in
My strong bass vibrates the floor and makes the walls shake

The bass makes my eardrums seem thin
The bass is so powerful that my eardrums feel weak

Def sounds in my ride, yes the front and back
My car is equipped with great music in the front and back

You would think it was a party, not a Cadillac
It sounds like there's a party happening in my car instead of just driving a Cadillac

Cause I drive up to the ave, with the windows closed
I can still hear my own music even with the windows rolled up

And my bass is so loud, it could rip your clothes
The bass is so strong that it could tear your clothes apart

My stereo's thumpin' like a savage beast
My stereo is loud and powerful like an angry animal

The level on my power meter will not decrease
My music is so good that it never gets boring or dull

Suckers get mad, cause the girlies scream
People get upset because girls love my music and dance to it

And I'm still gettin' paid while you look at me mean
I'm making money even though people give me upset looks

Don't touch that dial, I'll be upset
Don't change the station or I'll be angry

Might go into a fit and rip off your neck
I might lose control and become violent

Cause the radio's thumpin' when I'm down to play
I get very excited when my music is playing on the radio

I'm the royal chief rocker LL Cool J
I'm LL Cool J, the king of rock music

Let your big butt bounce from right to left
I want everyone to dance and move to my music

Cause it's a actual fact this jam is def
It's a fact that my music is great

Most definitely created by me
I made my music with my own skills and creativity

Goin' down in radio history
My music will be remembered in radio history

I'm good to go on your radio
My music sounds great on any radio

And I'm cold gettin' paid cause Rick said so
I'm still making money because Rick Rubin said I would

Make the woofers wallop and your tweeters twitch
My music makes the bass and high-pitched sounds in your speakers vibrate

Some jealous knuckleheads might try to dis
Some envious people might try to criticize my music

But it's nothin', ya frontin', ya girl I am stuntin'
I don't care because they're just pretending and I'm impressing girls

And my radio's loud enough to keep you gruntin'
My music is so loud that it makes you grunt and move

My name is Cool J, I'm from the rock
I'm LL Cool J and I come from the world of rock music

Circulating through your radio non-stop
My music is playing on the radio constantly

I'm lookin' at the wires behind the cassette
I'm examining the technical parts of my music

And now I'm on the right, standing on the eject
I'm in control of my music and able to pause or stop it

Wearin' light blue Pumas, a whole lot of gold
I have a specific style, light blue shoes and lots of gold jewelry

And jams like these keep me in control
My music is important to me and helps me feel in control

Your energy level starts to increase
You start feeling energized when you hear my music

As my big beat is slowly released
As the music progresses, the beat becomes more intense

I'm on the radio and at the jam
I'm creating music for the radio and live events

LL Cool J is who I am
I am LL Cool J, the musician and performer

I'ma make ya dance, boogie down and rock
My music will make you dance and move in various ways

And you'll scratch and shake to my musical plot
You'll follow along with my music and dance moves

And to expand my musical plan
I'm always looking to improve and expand my music

Cut Creator, rock the beat with your hands
My DJ, Cut Creator, adds his skills to rock the music

See people can't stop me, neither can the police
Nobody can stop me from creating and performing music, not even the police

I'm a musical maniac to say the least
I'm obsessed with music and make a lot of it

For you and your radio I made this for
I made my music for the listeners and their radios

Cool J's here to devastate once more
I'm here to perform and impress once again

Pullin' all the girls, takin' out MCs
I'm attracting all the girls and beating other musicians

If ya try to disrespect me, I just say Please!
If someone disrespects me, I just dismiss them nicely

Here to command the hip-hop land
I'm here to become a leader in the world of hip-hop music

Kick it live with a box inside my hand
I use my music to perform and entertain with my radio in hand

And I know I can't live without my radio
My music is such a big part of my life that I can't imagine living without it

And I'm cold gettin' paid cause Rick said so
I'm still making money because Rick Rubin said I would

I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
I'm in charge of the performance and keeping the audience entertained

But I know I can't live without my radio
My music is such a big part of my life that I can't imagine living without it

Farmers Boulevard, yeah, you know that's where me and E hang out,
Farmers Boulevard is where I hang out with my friend E

Cool out, you know what I'm sayin'? That's where the crib's at.
It's a cool place where my house is located.
