I’m Bad

Lyrics

[Intro: Police & LL Cool J] Calling all cars, calling all cars Be on the lookout for a tall light-skinned brother with dimples Wearing a black Kangol, sweatsuit, gold chain, and sneakers Last seen on Farmers Boulevard heading east. Alias "LL Cool J", he's bad Ahh [Verse 1: LL Cool J] No rapper can rap quite like I can I'll take a muscle-bound man and put his face in the sand Not the last mafioso, I'm an emcee cop Make you say "Go LL," and do the Wop If you think you can out-rhyme me, yeah, boy, I bet 'Cause I ain't met a motherfucker who can do that yet Trendsetter, I'm better, my rhymes are good I got a gold-made plate that says "I wish you would" And when battles begin, then, I gotta join in, and Before my rhyme is over, you know I'ma win Cool J has arrived, so you better make way Ask anybody in the crowd, they say the kid don't play Slaughter competition, that's my hobby and job I don't wear a disguise because I don't owe the mob Got a pinpoint rap that makes you feel trapped So many girls on my jock, I think my phone is tapped, I'm bad [Refrain: LL Cool J] Cool J, Cool J, Cool J, Cool-Cool-Cool-Cool-Cool J-J Cool J, Cool-Cool-Cool-Cool, Cool-Cool-Cool-Cool J, J-J-J, J-J-J-J-J [Verse 2: LL Cool J] I'm like Tyson, ice and I'm a soldier at war I'm makin' sure you don't try to battle me no more Got concrete rhymes, been rappin' for ten years And even when I'm braggin', I'm being sincere Emcees can't win, I make 'em rust like tin They call me "Jaws," my hat is like a shark's fin Because I'm bad as can be, got my voice on wax Some brothers think he's makin' records, now he must've relaxed I couldn't and shouldn't, and it'll stay that way The best rapper you've heard is LL Cool J Kamikaze, take a look at what I've done Used to rock in my basement, now I'm number one And can happen on time, never standing on line You wanna try me? First, you better learn how to rhyme I'm the pinnacle; that means I reign supreme And I'm notorious; I'll crush you like a jellybean, I'm bad [Interlude: Police] Suspect was last spotted with three other members of his group DJ Bobcat and E-Love and then Cut Creator They are extremely bad, so keep your eyes open Use extreme caution [Verse 3: LL Cool J] I eliminate punks, cut 'em up in chunks You were souped, you heard me and your ego shrunk I'm devastating, I'm so good it's a shame 'Cause I eat rappers like a cannibal, they call me insane I'm as strong as a bull, of course you know why I pull I enjoy what I'm doing plus I'm paid in full Not Buckaroo Banzai, but bustin' out as I Say the kind of rhymes that make emcees wish that I'd die Never retire or put my mic on the shelf The baddest rapper in the history of rap itself Not bitter or mad, just provin' I'm bad You want a hit? Give me a hour plus a pen and a pad Emcees retreat 'cause they know I can beat 'em And eat 'em in a battle and the ref won't cheat 'em I'm the baddest, takin' out all rookies So forget Oreos, eat Cool J cookies, I'm bad [Refrain: LL Cool J] Cool J, Cool J (Bob), Cool J (Yo, we get it), Cool J-J-J Cool J-J, J, Cool, Cool J [Verse 4: LL Cool J] Never ever, no never Never wearin' no Levis, battle me? Why try? I'll treat you like a stepchild, so tell mommy, "Bye, bye" Slaughterin' emcees and I'ma never get whipped When I retire, I'll get worshiped like a old battleship LL, I'm bad, all the rappers know When I enter the center, they say, "Yo, yo, there he go" My paycheck's large, Mr. Bogart in charge Not a punter or a hunter from a raccoon lodge The original Todd teachin' how to be hard Take the skin off a snake and split a pea from a pod You're a novice, I'm noble and I dissect with my tongue Not Attila the Hun, Khan or Abdullah Hussein My vocals exact, like rack and pinion in a Jag You try to brag, you get your rhymes from a grab-bag No good scavenger, catfish vulture My tongue's a chisel and this composition's sculptor, I'm bad [Outro: Police & LL Cool J] Think I'm gonna need backup Think I'm gonna need backup Give me that walkie-talkie Yo, this is LL Cool J and you'll never catch me so don't even try it 'Cause I'm too bad for ya, understand? Ahh I'm bad
