The Breakthrough - LL Cool J (埃勒·酷)

Knuckleheads spreadin' gossip all over town

Every time I drive by you're just standin' around

Hundred-bottles in your pocket

Forty-dog in your hand

Don't you know you're just a worker

And your boss is my man

L L this L L that soon as I walk in the place

I wanna take my gun and shoot

You in your muthaf**kin' face

You're playin' me too close with the schemin' and games

I guess the beef and the b******t is the price of fame

Movies records goin' on tour

Twenty-thousand people hip-hoppin' on the floor

Whole parties body-rockin' and everything's chill

Get back to New York and the suckers act ill

See I fought with the devil made a promise to God

I have experience in goin' all the way to the top

It's harder harder than hard

All the suckers are barred

You used to try to talk down now your ego is scarred

See the problem is you want what another man has

His car his wife or his razzamatazz

But that's weak you gotta do work on your own

Cuz when you're rich you got friends

But when you're poor you're alone

So get your own on your own

It'll strengthen your soul

Stop livin' off your parents like you're three years old

Instead of walkin' like you're limp

And talkin' yang about me

Why don't you take your monkey-ass

And get a college degree

Or write a rhyme and ride a bike and try to live carefree

Hope my message reaches you

Before you're seventy-three

A old man when people ask you

What you did with your life

You'll say "I hated L L and I carried a big knife"

Every day is a chase every day is a race

And every day you're being overpowered by my bass

Too much juice to be a deuce I had to be a ace

It's like the fire's in my eyes and the gun's in my face

I'm stompin' stupid knuckleheads until they bleed

I'm the leader of the show so it's up to me to lead

I'mma lead you away from *** and petty crime

Lead you away from wack beats and rhyme

Lead you to that ticket line

So you can come in my show and watch the stars shine

Get busy not dizzy wanna teach the young

The last man who didn't listen ended up gettin' hung

Not that I killed him it's just

He didn't wanna trust

The words of a master that's why you must

Take heed to the speech it's gonna reach your ear

Don't try to say you can't hear cuz the words are clear

Throwin' flurries punks scurry and I bury the rest

You better hurry up and rock a rhyme

And give it your best

Cuz tonight's the night we gonna see the big fight

Twelve-gauge on the stage in case it don't go right

E-Love drives a tank he's strong like a truck

If you're cryin' while you're dyin' we ain't givin' a f**k

L L Cool J is on the microphone

Tellin' all you punk ducks "Leave me the hell alone"

Cuz I'm rated X born to snap necks

Straight up and down no special effects

I'm the professor the teacher the hip-hop dean

If Russia bombed the U S

They'd be scared to touch Queens

Cuz that's where I live and this is what I give

Turnin' top-notch crews into fugitives

They run they frightened they hide from King Titan

Like a sniper when he's shootin'

Or a viper when he's bitin'

Here I am tellin' the truth

And I'm spreadin' the word to my fellow youth

It goes man-to-man and jam-to-jam

I got hip-hop rock and love song fans

All you petty MC's in the state of New York

Gettin' a thousand for a show

But you still wanna squawk

Can't get a decent contract your beats ain't workin'

Dogged-out Pumas plus you're manager's jerkin'

Your mic sounds weak remember that skeezer

I'm badder than Napoleon h****r or Caesar

I'm a hitman but I'm not for hire

Fly girl's desire the man you admire

Not only on the stage I rock in the park

And I'm a killer in the daytime and worse after dark

So don't never ever mess with the king of the sound

L L Cool J the baddest around
