Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The momentum of this party can only increase
The design of this rhyme is a masterpiece
You'll wanna kick steps to the musical feast
And witness the force I'm about to release
You'll rock
[Verse 2]
I'm a professional producer of hip-hop songs
In case you're unaware, my beats are always strong
I'll exterminate your crew if I don't like you
With one rhyme I subdue, my adversaries are through
I'm the best, fascinating, my name's Cool J
I'm the royalty of rap, what else can I say?
Experienced rhymin' skills, plus my voice isn't wack
Funky fresh party rocker, so let's face facts
I'll dust a rapper off if I require practice
Vocal cords so rough that I can eat cactus
Choreographer of rhymes, best of all time
Composition technician with a B-boy's mind
Terrorizin' emcees', destruction's in my path
Make your girlfriend ask me for my autograph
I'm the mic dominator, best of all time
And you ain't heard nothing till you heard J rhyme
You'll rock
[Verse 3]
Now I'ma tell you the meaning behind scratchin' sounds
He's Cut-Creator, Philly-Philly as the DJ crown
Me and him are imitatin', but never underrated
My rhymes and his cuts have been consolidated
The mission ain't complete without the use of his hands
He makes my rhymes sound fresher, my beat expands
So I'd like you to meet him, but don't attempt to beat him
A five-man crew? Me and him will defeat 'em
He'll scratch and wipe out all foes
Turntable terrorizin' and I think you should know
That we're high-calibered and my name's J
And for all you sucker crews, it's Judgment Day
To ring this encounter, I'm your rhyme sayer
I hate to say it, girls, but, yes, I'm a player
Materials royal, dominating all
Light brown with dimples and I'm six feet tall
A promotor of recordings that I call my own
And I'd love to take one of you ladies home
I'm complete and clear, infiltrating your ears
My literature is above Shakespeare
Emcee assassinator and I just won't stop
I'm the author and designer of the jam you'll rock
I'm a lyrical flame on the heels of fame
And the world will be glad that Cool J came
You'll rock
[Verse 4]
Now I'ma dedicate this rhyme to my favorite street
You'll think about it every time that you hear this beat
Any other jam you hear, just disregard
This is the national anthem of the boulevard
See, I'm loyal to the boule' 'cause it taught me the deal
Certainly the place to be and that's how I feel
Farmers Boulevard, E-Love, and me Cool J
In the center of it all is a Q3A
42nd will surrender, Delancey's in fear
Queens Boulevard is soft, they don't come around here
With Gazelles on my face I will hold my space
And to taste, stimulate, and conduct the bait
You'll rock
[Verse 5]
Now I'ma kick it for the beat and check complete my missions
Subtractin' emcees like a mathematician
Jammin' up the board at the rappin' commission
Sole inventor of this composition
I disintegrate rappers, I can and I could
The great Edgar Allen Poe couldn't right this good
I'm the warlord of rap with my own army
Japan's whole military couldn't disarm me
Super bad, cold-crushed, number one b-boy
Like a painting from Picasso, I'm the real McCoy
Crown prince of rappin', Godfather of beats
Emcees that I meet I mutilate and defeat
You'll rock
[Verse 6]
You know what I'm sayin? Break
You know what I'm sayin? Break, break, break two
