Just kick a little something for them cars that be bumpin Yeah aight But we need a beat that they can front to Oh, that'll work Be funky You know what I'm sayin? (Cars ride by with the boomin systems) (Cars ride by) Funky For all the cars out there And all the brothers That like to front in their rides Check it out You know it's funky, funky, funky cos you heard it from hear-say A jam that you love that don't be gettin no airplay Strictly for frontin when you're ridin around 12 o'clock at night with your windows down Headlights breakin cos your batteries drain Armor all on your tires and a big gold chain Parkin outside of all the hip-hop spots Push the E-Q and play connect the dots Leanin to the side, people everywhere The trunk full of amps, there ain't no room for a spare Big beats bumpin with the bass in back All the sophisticated suckers catch a heart attack Cos they don't understand why I act this way Pumpin up the funky beat until the break of day It's because I want attention when i'm ridin by And the girls be on my jock cos my system's fly Girlies wanna ride with a brother like me Cos they be hear me gettin funky frequently They tell me don't drink and drive, I say what is this Mind your business Now pass it around Laid back, hypnotized by the funky sound People in the street see me bobbin my head While I'm checkin out the rapper and the rhyme that he said I'm frontin, and I don't care if you know The backseat of my car is like a disco show You would think I was a good friend of Al Capone Crazy air freshener, who needs cologne |

Ooh yeah Mh Hey yo, man Ain't nothin like a nice bowl of cornflakes in the morning to smooth you out Milky Cereal (Baby) Milky Cereal Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the baddest female of them all? It was Frosted Flake, she loved to bowl And although her skin was white she had a lot of soul Rich female, very debonnaire Drivin a Rolls with rollers in her hair We was hangin out, pumpin the stereo She took me to a club, I think the name was Cheerio's She walked like she was jumpin a hurdle I was happy as a kid that just saw _Mutant Ninja Turtles_ A guy walked over, said, "Your earring's cute" I said, "I'm wearin a earring, but it ain't no Fruit Loop" Me and Frosted went to get a drink But she ordered somethin bugged and I ain't know what to think She ordered potassium, calcium Carbohydrate scotch with sodium She took me to her crib, threw me on the couch I woke up the next morning with a spoon in my mouth She's Milky Cereal (Baby) Milky Cereal I went to Vegas, didn't think it'd do any harm I walked into this girl named Lucky Charm For some reason we walked in the rain She had a four-leaf clover with a big gold chain She had a salary that was full of calories, for real And I was in the mood for a homecooked meal So we went to be alone But we had to be quiet, cause her cornpops was home Kissed her neck, kissed her back, kissed her arms I said, "Forget it, let me see your lucky charms" When we began her hairstyle was neat But when I left the next morning it looked like shredded wheat Talked about marriage, I said, "That's risky Besides, it's such a waste of Rice Crispies" She had a robe with the velours material Her pops woke up, I said, "Hello Mr. Cereal I came this morning to deliver the paper" He said, "Stop frontin, I know you caught the vapors That's my daughter, so save your croonin You better find another bowl of cereal to stick your spoon in" Milky Cereal (Baby) Milky Cereal Yeah, check this out here: Then there was Pebbles, times was rough She was turnin tricks to get her 'coo-coo puff!' Her mind was gone, but she turned me on, in fact She was wearin an Apple Jack hat With a full-link fox and some pink bobby-socks Her father had a greedy disease, fried chicken pocks We called him Hungry Jack He talked like pops, and then he dressed like The Mack He invited me out to lunch With a old army buddy of his, Captain Crunch The waiter said, "Jack, what would you like today?" He said, "I don't know, just make it Special, 'K?" He said, "Cool," came back with the order That's when I said, "Hey yo, Jack, I like your daughter" He said, "Pebbles? Boy, are your crazy? I said, "Nah, I wanna ride in a Mercedes She could sing while I'm swingin my thing Cause her burgers taste better than Burger King" He said, "Go party, do some minglin You and my daughter, your brain must be jinglin" I said, "It's smooth, no disrespect She'll sign a pre-nup, so she don't get half of my week check" Then we walked down the aisle Our honeymoon was milky - cereal style You know what I'm sayin? Milky Cereal (Baby) Milky Cereal Milky Ha-ha-ha Peace! |

[And you say New York City... (They're jinglin', baby) Go 'head, baby Uncle. L. Future of the funk. Records I recorded minus all the junk. People spread gossip and believe what they must, but I slam dunk punks and make 'me bite the dust. A minute is needed to make a phony roni bleed, and put 'em in a bucket like he's chicken feed. Check out the...pick of the litter, not a quitter, I'm nice (nice-nice); and I'm-a dust you off and dust you off twice. I heard it's all observant, hysterical fan- -natics of the Asiatic miracle man. Prominent, dominant, McCoy and I'm real. Another brother's fan? Forget how you feel. He's so-so, I got the instinct. They call me Deputy Dog to put your booty in the clink. You're dancin' to a Marley Marl remix single, love: Let me see your earrings jingle, love... I chopped you, chewed you, baked you, and schooled you. That slop you pop, you need to stop, you're kind of rude you no good niggaboo tryin' to base, how we livin', homes? Get out my face! I'm complete, in effect, and I can't maul. Rise, suprise, and I advise you all. To stand back and peep, don't sleep or doubt. My skill'll get ill, I turn the mother out, huh. I'm top-notch, you're playin' hop-scotch. Now I'm-a do ya while the party people watch. You're real funny, you really try to go for yours. But I know why: you ain't had no dough before. So you tried and lied to drain my fame. This ain't a game, yo, you know my name. Innovating, devastating, and dope on a single, now, dance to my remix single... When you first walked in, I ain't know what to think, cuz you grabbed the microphone like your booty don't stink. And tried to run down that, I can't get over that garbage you were sayin': you call that a battle rap? How you gonna go against an army with a handgun? I'm L.L., and you don't understand, son. I'm a legend, on top of that I'm livin'. Now you look booty like that bum Miss Givins. Whoever geesed you up...nah, how should I say it? Whoever set you up, they knew just how to play it. Cuz man, YO, I feel for ya brother, I'm a baaaaaad... (Word to the mother!) Takin' out sucker while the ladies pucker, and rollin' over punks like a redneck trucker. Innovating, devastating, and dope on a single, now... lemme see your earrings jingle... .break down!Can't believe you tried to get the same mic as me, your grip's too weak, you can't hold it, B. You can dream of makin' progress and gettin' this nice, but when I roll up, it's like Hip Hop Vice. Serve to curbs, I never swerve a superb. Every word you heard played tricks on your nerves. Played your hand, lost track of your plan, when I show up, I blow up, end of story, my man. Play you like a poker chip, that's what you get. I bet your fret, sweat, and regret you met the Titan of Fightin', excitin' when writin', you're trite from the toy, boy, I gotta enlight, so start bitin'. You know you can't create and get mean like this; when I'm on the court, G, it's strictly SWISSSSHHHH! When it's all over, said and done, my friend, they'll say, "L.L. Cool J just scored again." So take a step back, give me some room to wreck shop. Here's your token back, you're gettin' off at the next stop. I'm-a deliver and give a speech with vigor. Pass the wine cooler you big black.... (laughter) [And you say New York City] |
