Title
- Ah ah
- Baby girl was draped in Chanel
- Said she love Tupac but hates some LL
- Seen her at the bar with anklets and toe rings
- She can take a prince, turn him into a king
- I was looking at her in the limelight, pearly whites
- Said her man get paper but he don't live right
- All these emotions flowing inside the club
- Do you really wanna thug or do ya want love?
- She gets the paper when it's time to get it on
- She keeps these clowns thinking like Jack B. Quick
- Honey smoke make you click, feel it in their throats
- No joke all this love, let it stay broke out
- Behind every playa is a true playette
- Bounce you up, outta there, push and check
- Taster's choice, have you nice and moist
- Or play paper games or floss the rolls royce
- Something like a phenomenon[repeat 8X]
- (uh huh) (go ahead daddy)
- He was king of seduction, cop a suction
- Now she was the cat that worked construction
- Starve her with the paper, abuse the mind
- Dis a new lover, when you know it's on mine
- that's on top, lap dancin got to stop
- You play out your chick cause your game is hot
- I give you two, Italian, ice my whole crew
- He's banging on my chest till it's black and blue
- You beefin, yellin on the cell of my 6
- You reach it then you hear the cordless click
- Now your club hopping, keep the Cristal poppin
- Use my chips and take the next man shoppin
- Hell no, must be out Chicago
- on your knees and your elbows each and every time
- That's why I love you mami, you
- Run your mouth though your legs over the bed baby
- Work me out
- Something like a phenomenon[repeat 8X]
- (uh huh) (go ahead daddy)
- He was all souped up, but played it just right
- Mami I was full blown, my game was air tight
- I needed to switch up and get it in gear
- It's a whole new movie, a world premiere, yeah yeah
- Keep it jinglin, no more minglin
- A brand new year, me and you can bring it in
- I'm sick and tired of the freakin, night to morn'
- Moanin in the mirror with my cubans on
- Let bygones be bygones, no more games
- Hope all the chickenheads go up in flames
- Now we in the brand new mansion, with the lake in back
- Got it all figured out, mami I like that
- Collect tips, cop his and her whips
- The voice a quarter mil'-on, close the safe
- But you're worth it playgirl, it's real in the field
- Say what you want, but keep your lips sealed
- Something like a phenomenon[repeat 8X]
- (uh huh) (go ahead daddy)
- (feat. Ralph Tresvant, Ricky Bell)
- [Verse 1: LL Cool J]
- When you was seventeen and I was nineteen
- we feel deep in love growing up in Queens
- we didn't know a thing about love
- we was innocent sneakin' on the doorstep to hug
- held you tightly and promised you the world
- you gave me hickys and said you was my girl
- when I think about it now makes me smile
- cause I ain't felt these butterflies in a while
- funny how you grow up and innocence fades
- we used to live for love but now we're afraid (of what?)
- of the darkness and bitter memories
- lovers who crushed us through infidelity
- I promised you I'd love you to the end
- always and forever since way back when
- you're like candy the world's sweetest friend
- you taste better now than you did back then
- [Chorus: Bell/Tresvan]
- you will always be my candy
- one day we will start a family
- you will always be my candy girl
- (you'll be my candy girl forever)
- you will always be my candy
- want your love girl understand me
- you will always be my candy girl
- [Verse 2: LL Cool J]
- while you sucked caramel apple lolly pops
- rain sleet or snow I'm troopin' up the murdock
- we used to walk down the block hold hands
- I would get you after school cause I was your man
- and any guys that wanna socalize
- just know that I'm a flip on any cat that trys
- my peeps used to say I was whipped
- all your girls said since you got with him you flipped
- but uh they couldn't feel the feelings we felt
- mirrors on the ceiling we melt
- I would look up at ya I remember
- the afternoon you surrendered
- we made love the tempature was high as could be
- you said Todd promise you ain't liein' to me
- and as we went our seperate ways you turned back
- smiled I remember all that
- [Chorus]
- [Verse 3: Bell/Tresvant, LL Cool J]
- (take it to the bridge)
- candy girl
- you are my world
- look so sweet
- you're a special treat
- candy gir
- all I want to say
- I need your love
- each and every day
- when I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
- and in the back of my mind I hear my memories call
- of days when love was true I slept and held you
- taste the brown sugar let your climax melt yo
- candy you're occupying all of my thoughts
- turned my soul upside down with lessons you taught
- I can feel you even when you're far away you're right here wit' me
- sweet love strictly
- and I'm a bend over backwards to keep you on my side
- take you for a mental and emotional ride
- make love to your soul your heart and your mind
- in your hour of need girl I'll be there every time
- and as long as you support my dreams
- stayin' right beside me as a part of my team
- I'll take you where the average man can only dream of
- cause in a world so sour I got the sweetest love
- [Chorus]
- [Outro: Bell/Tresvant]
- candy gir
- you are my world
- look so sweet
- you're a special trea
- (you'll be my candy girl forever)
- candy girl
- all I want to say
- (word is bond sweetheart)
- I need your love
- (I swear I'm down for whatever)
- candy girl
- (sometimes you gotta go back home)
- look so sweet
- (I love you)
- candy girl

- How dare you step up in my dimension
- Your little ass should be somewher cryin on detention
- Watch your mouth better yet hold your tongue
- I'ma do this shit for free this time this one's for fun
- Blow you to pieces, leave you covered in feces
- with one thesis ("LL Cool J is hard")
- Every little boy wanna pick up the mic
- and try to run with the big boys and live up to the real hype
- But that's like pickin up a ball, playin with Mike
- Swingin at Ken Griffey or challengin Roy to a fight
- Snappin, you ameteur MC's
- Don't you know I'm like the Dream Team tourin overseas
- For rappers in my circle I'm a deadly disease
- Ringmaster, bringin a tiger cub to his knees (uhh)
- In the history of rap they've never seen such prominence
- Your naive confidence gets crushed by my dominance (word up)
- Now let's get back to this mic on my arm
- If it ever left my side it'd transform into a time bomb
- You don't wanna borrow that, you wanna idolize
- And you don't wanna make me mad nigga you wanna socalize
- And I'm daring every MC in the game
- to play yourself out position, and mention my name
- I make a rhyme for every syllable in your name
- Go platinum for every time your grimy ass was on the train
- Watch your mouth don't ever step out of line
- LL Cool J nigga, greatest of all time

- But it's time to overcome all that
- [Verse One: LL Cool J]
- If your plane crashed in the water and everybody died
- would you drown on purpose or try to survive?

- Packed up her bags we bounced out the do'
- She said, "I ain't takin these whippin's no mo'
- I wanna live to see my little Todd grow"
- I remember tear drops on my pops face

- (I'm feelin you)
- [Chorus]
- [Verse Three: LL Cool J]
- My pops got drunk when me and my moms bounced
- Swigged some Jack Dan', sniffed up a ounce
- Grabbed the shotty left Long Isle for Queens
- Possesed by a demon... a devil it seemed
- I was too young to understand the risk
- when your moms come home off the midnight shift
- She turned around heard the shotgun click
- My pops said, "You think that you could leave me?"
- He blasted my moms in the back
- She fell down screamin I can't forget that
- My grandfather tried to close the do'
- He got shot ten times in the stomach yo, for real
- [Chorus]
- [Verse Four: LL Cool J]
- My head was spinnin, I had never seen blood
- Four years old, this don't feel like love
- Anyway, pops dissapeared
- Grandpops and moms healed up over the years
- This therapist got up in her head
- Led her to believe without him she'd be dead
- You know, they fell in love with one another
- Everything seemed right that's word to mother
- until I started gettin beatings everday
- Sometimes for going outside to play
- Late at night on my knees I'd pray
- a young child, wishin the pain would go away
- Dad where was you when he made me strip
- Beat with belts like a slave with a whip
- Kicked me down steps outside in the snow
- Punched me in the chest stomped me out on the flo'
- That's just the tip of the iceberg look
- It's too long for a song but perfect for a book
- Word is bond, that's real baby
- [Chorus]
