Get Down

[Intro]

G, G, G, G, G, G Get...

[Verse 1]

Down, to the rhythm that'll rock the walls

Cold sportin' Air Jordans, and I'm on the ball

Don't lack and I'm black but I'm not Lou Rawls

Disappeared for a year now I'm back y'all

So get down with me, entrepreneur of funk

Not a sloppy fat punk or a Shaolin Monk

Ain't down with Johnny Carson, don't wear shoes at a jam

So the hell with Ed McMahon and Tom Macan

JVC is the box, Farmers is the street

Soundin' hungry over beats, that's why I always eat

Up to you to guess who's rockin' the funky sound

If you don't know never mind come on and get down

[Hook]

Go L.L., go L.L., go L.L., go L.L

Get Down

Go L.L., go L.L., go L.L

Get Down

[Verse 2]

Get down, hard like Haystacks Calhoun

Callin me a sucker boy you're pushin a broom

If you try to pull a ace you'll get a punch in the face

All eyes are on my posse when we walk in the place

Not the Cunningham family from Happy Days

Not the boys who play the bench for the Oakland A's

He drop you to a hop to the record he play

Couldn't keep it a secret I'm L.L. Cool J

Rhymes are all wack and real all real

Yo Earl, tell the party people the deal

[Bridge]

Yo listen here

Ya ain't no thing, can't complain

Get cash like a muh'fuck, pass the "J"

[Verse 3]

That's right I'm back he's talks out rap

You used to smirk, now you're jockin' cause my name's on the map

Sit and lie my homeboy Earl says that it's a E-Love hat

With the hands like a hatchet, Cut Creator's in back

Cut Creator on the fader, the teacher's pet

Baddest man with ten fingers you've ever met

And sooner or later we'll house the set

Cut Creator cut the record so they don't forget

Get down

[Hook]

Go L.L., go L.L., go L.L

Get Down

Go L.L., go L.L., go L.L

[Verse 4]

I make hard rock jams for hard rock fans

What I'm sayin's for real, this ain't la-la land

Got a can full of jams pullin off the lid

Competition in New York can't do what I did

No Cinderella story, I paid my dues

I rocked at house parties I was down with crews

Now I'll never be caught I'm on my P's and Q's

And for the rest of your life you wanna be in my shoes

I'm strong like stone, hard like cement

And I rocked every jam that I ever went

Cause I got a better reppin than any emcee has

And I'm bad like a brother from Alcatraz

Get down

[Hook]

Go L.L., go L.L., go L.L

Get Down

Go L.L., go L.L., go L.L

[Verse 5]

Ni-ni-nigga-nigga-ni-ni-ni

Ninja of rap, the boss is back

The only man you should call on when the party is packed

From Paris to L.A they say I'm sharp as a pin

When it's a Cool J party you gotta get in

So I can make you kick steps like Gladys Knight and the Pips

One rhyme, you're on my tip, soon as it leaves my lips

Up the block kids are talkin and spreadin the news

About the new grandmaster the one you'll choose

Cause I'm treacherous, I wanna stomp the rest

What I'm kickin' couldn't bore, it can only impress

I'm not a Hula-Hoop, this ain't no passin' phase

Hard work pays, I'm gettin straight-up A's

Cool J is runnin' things, I want it understood

Executioner, I should wear a black hood

And carry an axe cause I'm ruff on wax

Speakers Spared Cold ran from Gentle Eight Tracks

Get down

[Outro]

(G, G, G, G, G, G, Get Down)
