Soul Survivor - LL COOL J

They said I wasn’t rough, too much dough, he got an old flow

Every time you open your mouth you feel your elbow

I’ll catch a felony on top of a melody

Brought a family, and dough woulda been so happily

I’ll beat the Laker off of a clown and chop him down to size

Sick of all these wanna-be bad guys

Made loot, many g’s, bought a crib where I live

Told my kids — «yo, damn, that I’m a fugitive»

Runnin' from the streets and our beats — the sad sheets, uh

A sunny beach, video hoes within reach

Farmers Boulevard — liberty and forty is gone

And E ain’t put nobody on

When I came back to smack and give 'em a welt

Like belts makin' them strip and all of that

Punks better run for they guns

I’m not the one and can’t nobody rule until L’s done

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

I worked the Murphy on the mix

What’s wrong with these stupid lunatics playin' Jordan for a draft pick

I’m harder than-?find in a jar?

People wasn’t rippin' these records, all of y’all would get robbed

I’m comin' straight out the barrel with your name on my arm

Blowin' the hoody of your head like a home-made bomb (BOOM!!)

I’m big and so you figured I would relax (nah!)

Don’t ever sleep I’ll wake ya up with an axe

The Boulevard ain’t safe for my beats — drop the herb

Twenty times harder without a curse

Makin' rats flee, hardcore — and that’s me!

The baddest soloist in hip-hop history

L-L-C-to-the-O-to-the-O-L-J, so what’cha wanna know?

Throw ya in the MVP on your knees G

A crowbar in your mouth — now ask me…

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

Take it to the bridge

Who’s the man on the mic?

(the L the L)

Who’s the man on the mic?

(the L the L)

Who’s the man on the mic?

(the L the L)

Who’s the man on the mic?

(the L the L)

Who’s the man on the mic?

(the L the L)

Who’s the man on the mic?

(the L the L)

Who’s the man on the mic?

(the L the L)

Who’s the man on the mic?

My territory’s hard, I’m rollin' with one railguard

The microphone is my credit card

Blowin' your boots off, freeload — you’re too soft

Usin' a butcher’s knife to make your whole root call

I heard somebody said the skills wasn’t good

I’m lettin' eighty tigers loose in this neighborhood (RAH!!)

I pop the willies on my bike, lickin' shots

And laughin' everytime you sneak a weak paragraph in

You blowin' your mind, blunted and cocoa and time

Ain’t nuttin' changed, you wrote another wack rhyme

I’ll leave your bullet-bittled body on the curb

Lookin' slerve with a t-shirt — DON’T DISTURB THE HERB!!!

You’re the next contestant tonight

Come on down to my shake clown — the slice is right

Rip your jaw out the socket, been rockin' for years

Tell the troop, you’re still look with E and drop it!

AS I DEAF-TIFY YOUR EYE, COMPETITION TRIES TO MASS MY SIZE!

Buryin' the acts and your back will be rhymes and tracks

While you’re sleepin' like a «sleaze-stack» — BELIEVE THAT!

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on, come on (soul survivor), come on

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

It’s the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby

It’s the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
