[Intro]

Come on, yo come on (survivor, survivor)

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

Come on, come on (soul survivor)

Come on, come on, come on, come on



[LL Cool J]

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

Everytime 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



[Chorus]

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)



[LL Cool J]

I worked the Murphy on the mix

What's wrong with these stupid lunatics playin' "Joint" for a drag-bit?

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...



[Chorus]

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?



[LL Cool J]

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!!



[Chorus]

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



[Chorus]

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)
