Lyrics Soul Survivor - LL COOL J

Soul Survivor

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)
