 19527>[LL]
 
 
 
 C'mon man
 
 
 
 [News Report]
 
 
 
 And with the local DBT news, LL Cool J with a triumphant comeback
 
 [mumbling]
 
 but tonite...
 
 
 
 [LL]
 
 
 
 Don't call it a comeback
 
 I been here for years
 
 Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear
 
 Makin the tears rain down like a MON-soon
 
 Listen to the bass go BOOM
 
 Explosion, overpowerin
 
 Over the competition, I'm towerin
 
 Wreckin shop, when I drop these lyrics that'll make you call the cops
 
 Don't you dare stare, you betta move
 
 Don't ever compare
 
 Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
 
 Competition's payin the price
 
 
 
 [Chorus:]
 
 
 
 I'm gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
 
 Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)
 
 [REPEAT 4X]
 
 
 
 Don't u call this a regular jam
 
 I'm gonna rock this land
 
 I'm gonna take this itty bitty world by storm
 
 And I'm just gettin warm
 
 Just like Muhummad Ali they called him Cassius
 
 Watch me bash this beat like a skull
 
 Cuz u know I had beef wit
 
 Why do u riff with me, the maniac psycho
 
 And when I pull out my jammy get ready cuz it might go
 
 BLAAAAW, how ya like me now?
 
 The river will not allow
 
 U to get with, Mr. Smith, dont riff
 
 Listen to my gear shift
 
 I'm blastin, outlastin
 
 Kinda like Shaft, so u could say I'm shaftin
 
 Old English filled my mind
 
 And I came up with a funky rhyme
 
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [LL]
 
 
 
 Breakdown!!!
 
 
 
 Shadow boxin when I heard you on the radio (HUUUH!!!)
 
 I just don't know
 
 What made you forget that I was raw?
 
 But now I got a new tour
 
 I'm goin insane, startin the hurricane, releasin pain
 
 Lettin you know that you can't gain, I maintain
 
 Unless ya say my name
 
 Rippin, killin
 
 Diggin and drillin a hole
 
 Pass the Ol' Gold
 
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
 
 
 Shotgun blasts are heard
 
 When I rip and kill, at WILL
 
 The man of the hour, tower of power, I'll devour
 
 I'm gonna tie you up and let you understand
 
 that I'm not your average man
 
 when I got a jammy in my hand
 
 DAAAAAM!!!!! Oooooohh!!
 
 Listen to the way I slaaaaay, your crew
 
 Damage (UHH) damage (UHH) damage (UHH) damage
 
 Destruction, terror, and mayhem
 
 Pass me a sissy so suckas I'll slay him
 
 Farmers (What!!!) Farmers (What!!!)
 
 I'm ready (we're ready!!!)
 
 I think I'm gonna bomb a town (get down!!)
 
 Don't u neva, eva, pull my lever
 
 Cuz I explode
 
 And my nine is easy to load
 
 I gotta thank God
 
 Cuz he gave me the strength to rock
 
 HARD!! knock you out, mama said knock you out
 
 
 
 [Chorus]
