Title
 
  • [Verse 1]
  • My radio, believe me, I like it loud
  • I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd
  • Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat
  • While my JVC vibrates the concrete
  • I'm sorry if you can't understand
  • But I need a radio inside my hand
  • Don't mean to offend other citizens
  • But I kick my volume way past 10
  • My story is rough, my neighbourhood is tough
  • But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush
  • My name is Cool J, I devastate the show
  • But I couldn't survive without my radio
  • Terrorising my neighbours with the heavy bass
  • I keep the suckas in fear by the look on my face
  • My radio's bad from the Boulevard
  • I'm a hip-hop gangster and my name is Todd
  • Just stimulated by the beat, bust out the rhyme
  • Get fresh batteries if it won't rewind
  • Cos I play everyday, even on the subway
  • I woulda got a summons but I ran away
  • I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
  • But I know I can't live without my radio
  • [Verse 2]
  • Suckas on my jock when I walk down the block
  • I really don't care if you're jealous or not
  • Cos I make the songs, you sing along
  • And your radio's def when my record's on
  • So get off the wall, become involved
  • All your radio problems have now been solved
  • My treacherous beats make ya ears respond
  • And my radio's loud like a fire alarm
  • The floor vibrates, the walls cave in
  • The bass makes my eardrums seem thin
  • Def sounds in my ride, yes the front and back
  • You would think it was a party, not a Cadillac
  • Cos I drive up to the ave, with the windows closed
  • And my bass is so loud, it could rip your clothes
  • My stereo's thumpin' like a savage beast
  • The level on my power meter will not decrease
  • Suckas get mad, cos the girlies scream
  • And I'm still gettin' paid while you look at me mean
  • I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
  • But I know I can't live without my radio
  • I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
  • And I know I can't live without my radio
  • [Verse 3]
  • Don't touch that dial, I'll be upset
  • Might go into a fit and rip off your neck
  • Cos the radio's thumpin' when I'm down to play
  • I'm the royal chief rocker LL Cool J
  • Let your big butt bounce from right to left
  • Cos it's a actual fact this jam is def
  • Most definitely created by me
  • Goin' down in radio history
  • I'm good to go on your radio
  • And I'm cold gettin' paid cos Rick said so
  • Make the woofers wallop and your tweeters twitch
  • Some jealous knuckleheads might try to dis
  • But it's nuthin', ya frontin', ya girl I am stuntin'
  • And my radio's loud enough to keep you gruntin'
  • My name is Cool J, I'm from the rock
  • Circulating through your radio non-stop
  • I'm lookin' at the wires behind the cassette
  • And now I'm on the right, standing on the eject
  • Wearin' light blue Pumas, a whole lotta gold
  • And jams like these keep me in control
  • I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
  • And I know I can't live without my radio
  • [Verse 4]
  • Your energy level starts to increase
  • As my big beat is slowly released
  • I'm on the radio and at the jam
  • LL Cool J is who I am
  • Imma make ya dance, boogie down and rock
  • And you'll scratch and shake to my musical plot
  • And to expand my musical plan
  • Cut Creator, rock the beat with your hands
  • That's right, so don't try to front the move
  • As you become motivated by the funky groove
  • You can see me and Earl chillin' on the block
  • With my box cold kickin' with the gangster rock
  • See people can't stop me, neither can the police
  • I'm a musical maniac to say the least
  • For you and your radio I made this for
  • Cool J's here to devastate once more
  • Pullin' all the girls, takin' out MCs
  • If ya try to disrespect me, I just say Please!
  • Here to command the hip-hop land
  • Kick it live with a box inside my hand
  • I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
  • But I know I can't live without my radio
  • Farmers Boulevard, yeah, you know that's where me and E hang out, cool
  • out, you know what I'm sayin'? That's where the crib's at.
 
  • [Verse 1]
  • Yo Yvette, there's a lot of rumours goin' around
  • They're so bad, baby you might have to skip town
  • See something's smellin' fishy and they say it's you
  • All I know is that you made it with the whole damn crew
  • They say you're a man-eater during the full moon
  • Mascot of the senior boys' locker room
  • They said Yvette walked in, there wasn't too much rap
  • Her reputation got bigger, and so did her gap
  • Cuz girl your momma shoulda taught you better
  • I'mma sit down and write you a long letter.
  • [Chorus]
  • Dear Yvette[x4]
  • [Verse 2]
  • I'm glad you ain't my sister, then again if you was
  • I'd have to treat you like you was my distant cuz
  • I'm not a news reporter, I don't mean to assume
  • What should I think? I seen ya comin' out the men's bathroom
  • You wasn't in there alone, wasn't usin' the phone
  • The door was locked for twenty minutes, all I heard was "Moan".
  • [Repeat chorus]
  • [Verse 3]
  • I don't really know if the story is so
  • I can either ask Curly, or Larry or Moe
  • or Earl, Shabazz, Lou, Mookie or Joe
  • Like Santa Claus said, you're a ho-ho-ho
  • In every disco you say hello
  • Like you're a little angel, but we all know
  • Since you was eleven you been actin' this way
  • You always got in bed when you wanted to play
  • You're a freak, you think you're Lady Godiva
  • Some freaks are live, but Yvette you're liver.
  • [Repeat chorus]
  • [Verse 4]
  • You're a back-seat queen, a elevator pro
  • A high-powered body makes your Levis grow
  • See the stories I've heard, they could amaze
  • I heard she did it on a motorcycle back in the days
  • So calm down freak, get a G.E.D.
  • That's a General Education on Decency
  • One day you'll see, and agree with me
  • unless you're gonna be a freak until you're 93
  • For you there's no fee, everything is free
  • This is from me to you, not you to me
  • Every night is your night, your leather pants are tight
  • You try to shake your butt with all your might
  • I don't really wanna dis nobody
  • You might think I had a little too much Bacardi
  • But that's not the problem, the problem's Yvette
  • How bad can a girl's reputation get?
  • See she's the kinda girl all the homeboys met
  • If you're desparate ask Yvette, cuz she'll say "Bet".
  • [Repeat chorus]
  • [Verse 5]
  • B-Boys are hard on the boulevard
  • The Reverend at the church said you was barred
  • Homeboys on the block love you a lot
  • You're a real famous freak whether you like it or not
  • So before you start walking and your beak starts squawkin'
  • let me explain to you who is talkin'
  • I'm L.L. Cool J from around the way
  • You boogie down to my records almost every day
  • Go a hundred miles an hour when you're standin' still
  • You're faster than my Caddy when it's goin' downhill
  • Won't forget that day in the Y.M.C.A.
  • The guy at the desk said it was OK
  • for you to come inside cuz he knew you'd stay
  • Greg G. and Garfield yelled "Hooray"
  • [Repeat chorus x2]
