Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Calling all cars, calling all cars)
(Be on the lookout for a tall, light-skinned brother with dimples)
(Wearing a black Kangol, sweatsuit, gold chain and sneakers)
(Last seen on Farmers Boulevard heading east)
(Alias, LL Cool J)
(He's bad)
[Verse 2]
Ahh
No rapper can rap quite like I can
I'll take a musclebound man and put his face in the sand
Not the last Mafioso, I'm a MC cop
Make you say, "Go, LL," and do the wop
[Verse 3]
If you think you can out rhyme me, yeah, boy, I bet
'Cause I ain't met a motherfucker who can do that yet
Trendsetter, I'm better, my rhymes are good
I got a gold nameplate that says, "I wish you would"
[Verse 4]
And when battles begin then I gotta join in and
Before my rhyme is over, you know I'ma win
Cool J has arrived, so you better make way
Ask anybody in the crowd they say, the kid don't play
[Verse 5]
Slaughter competition, that's my hobby and job
I don't wear a disguise because I don't owe the mob
Gotta pinpoint rap that makes you feel trapped
So many girls on my jock, I think my phone is tapped
[Verse 6]
I'm bad
[Verse 7]
I'm like Tyson, icin', I'm a soldier at war
I'm makin' sure you don't try to battle me no more
Got concrete rhymes, been rappin' for ten years and
Even when I'm braggin', I'm being sincere
[Verse 8]
MC's can't win, I make 'em rust like tin
They call me Jaws, my hat is like a shark's fin
Because I'm bad as can be, got my voice on wax
Some brothers think he's makin' records, now he must've relaxed
[Verse 9]
I couldn't, shouldn't and it'll stay that way
The best rapper you've heard is LL Cool J
Kamikaze, take a look at what I've done
Used to rock in my basement, now I'm number one
[Verse 10]
And can happen on time, never standin' on line
You wanna try me? First you better learn how to rhyme
I'm the pinnacle, that means I reign supreme
And I'm notorious, I'll crush you like a jelly bean
[Verse 11]
I'm bad
(Suspect was last spotted with three other members of his group)
(The Bobcat, the E Love and the Cut Creator)
(They are extremely bad)
(So keep your eyes open)
(Use extreme caution)
[Verse 12]
I eliminate punks, cut 'em up in chunks
You were souped, you heard me and your ego shrunk
I'm devastating, I'm so good it's a shame
'Cause I eat rappers like a cannibal, they call me insane
[Verse 13]
I'm as strong as a bull, of course, you know why I pull
I enjoy what I'm doin', plus, I'm paid in full
Not Buckaroo Banzai, but busted out as I
Say the kinda rhymes that MC's wish that I'd die
[Verse 14]
Never retire or put my mic on the shelf
The baddest rapper in the history of rap itself
Not bitter or mad, just provin' I'm bad
You want a hit? Give me a hour plus a pen and a pad
[Verse 15]
MC's retreat 'cause they know I can beat 'em
And eat 'em in a battle and the ref won't cheat 'em
I'm the best, takin' out all rookies
So forget Oreo's, eat Cool J cookies
[Verse 16]
I'm bad
[Verse 17]
Never ever, no, never
Never wearin' no Levi's, battle me, why try?
I'll treat you like a stepchild, so tell mommy, "Bye bye"
Slaughterin' MC's and I'ma never get whipped
When I retire, I'll get worshiped like a old battleship
[Verse 18]
LL, I'm bad, other rappers know
When I enter the center, they say, "Yo, yo, there he go"
My paycheck's large, Mr. Bogart in charge
Not a puncher or a hunter from a raccoon lodge
[Verse 19]
The original Todd, teachin' how to be hard
Take the skin off a snake and split a pea from a pod
You're a novice, I'm noble and I dissect with my tongue
Not Attila the Hun gun or Abdullah his son
[Verse 20]
My vocals exact like rack and pinion in a Jag
You try to brag, you get your rhymes from a grab-bag
No good scavenger, catfish vulture
My tongue's a chisel and this competition' sculpture
[Verse 21]
I'm bad
(Think I'm gonna need backup)
(I think I'm gonna need backup)
(Gimme that walkie talkie)
(Yo, this is LL Cool J)
(And you'll never catch me, so don't even try it)
(I'm too bad for ya, understand?)
I-I'm bad
