Lyrics
[Verse 1]
LL Cool J is hard as hell
Battle anybody, I don't care who you tell
I excel
They all fail
Gonna crack shells
Double-L must rock the bells
[Verse 2]
You've been waitin' and debatin' for oh so long
Just starvin' like Marvin for a Cool J song
If you cried and thought I died, you definitely was wrong
It took a thought, plus I brought Cut Creator along
Thinkin' of E-Love, down with the Cool J force
Specializin' in the rhymin' for the record, of course
I'm a tower full of power, wind, rain and hail
Cut Creator scratch the record with his fingernail
Rock the bells
[Verse 3]
The king of crowd rockers finally is back
My voice is your choice as the hottest wax
You ask, who is it? It's just a wizard who ain't takin' no crap
I'm rhymin' and designin' with your girl on my lap
The bass is kickin', always stickin', 'cause you like it that way
You think it's better 'cause it's def and plus it's by Cool J
Cut Creator on the fader, my right hand man
We rock the bells so very well 'cause that's the name of this jam
Rock the bells
[Verse 4]
Some girls will like this jam and some girls won't
'Cause I make a lot of money and your boyfriend don't
LL, what the hell? Gonna rock the bells
All you washed-up rappers wanna do this well
Rock the bells
[Verse 5]
Now I'm worldwide-known, whether you like it or not
My one-man band is Cut Creator a.k.a. Philpot
He'll never skip it, only rip it when he's on the fader
What's my DJ's name?
Cut Creator
Now you know at my show who's on the wheel
He'll drive the cross-fader like a cut mobile
So precise with a slice that you know he's greater
What's my DJ's name?
Cut Creator
[Verse 6]
What you know? What do you know?
Earl rolls the weed
I go to the store and get Olde gold
So, all you crabby-lookin' nappy-headed girls, get back
'Cause there's a ten-to-one chance that you might get smacked
Rock the bells
[Verse 7]
The bells are circulatin' like the blood in your veins
Why are girlies on the tip?
LL's your name
Cut Creator's
Good
Cool J is
Good
You bring the wood pecker, I'll bring the wood
The bells are whippin' and rippin' at your body and soul
Why do you like Cool J?
We like rock and roll
[Verse 8]
'Cause it ain't the glory days with Bruce Springsteen
I'm not a virgin, so I know I'll make Madonna scream
You hated Michael and Prince all the way ever since
If their beats were made of meat, then they would have to be mince
Rock the bells
[Verse 9]
So listen to the rhyme, the lines I rhyme on time
He'll cut the record in a second, make your DJ look blind
So all you jheri curl suckers wearin' high-heel boots
Like ballerinas, what I mean is you're a Froot Loop troupe
All you gonna-be, wannabes, when will you learn?
Wanna be like Cool J, you gotta wait your turn
Some suckers don't like me, but I'm not concerned
Six Gs for twenty minutes is the pay I earn
[Verse 10]
I'm growin' and glowin' like a forest blaze
Do you like Michael Jackson?
We like Cool J
That's right, I'm on the mic with the help of the bells
There's no delayin' what I'm sayin' as I'm rockin' you well
Rock the bells
