Welcome to |
|
Exit thirteen |
|
I am your host |
|
LL Cool JYou said |
|
I was finished |
|
And Father |
|
Time was the blame |
|
You disrespected my legacy |
|
And threw dirt on my name |
|
Told DJs he's over |
|
He ain't spittin' the same |
|
What he says is irrelevant |
|
Hip-Hop culture has changed |
|
When I walk in the room |
|
Young boys look at me strange |
|
As if I am a relic |
|
From some long forgotten game |
|
It makes my blood boil |
|
Turns my eyes to flames |
|
I built an empire |
|
They tried to kick me out in the rain |
|
So I called on an inner power |
|
It's hard to explain |
|
It's like a holy spirit |
|
Utilizing |
|
Hip-Hop slang |
|
I'm beyond the gold grills |
|
And logos on chains |
|
You see I changed rap forever |
|
I elevated the game |
|
Launched the greatest label |
|
In the history of rap |
|
And for twenty four years |
|
I carried it on my back |
|
I've always shined brighter |
|
When I'm under attack |
|
I might be down for a moment |
|
But I always come back |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war(Uh, yeah) |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war(Check it) |
|
It's time for war |
|
This is a resurrection |
|
I'm back from the dead |
|
They told me to quit a long time ago |
|
But I conquered instead |
|
I had dreams and visions |
|
Swirlin' around in my head |
|
I had this hunger deep inside of me |
|
That has to be fed |
|
Hip-Hop will respect |
|
All the blood that |
|
I shedI have a covenant with |
|
GodI have swallowed the bread |
|
Hip-Hop my co-defendant |
|
With this mic |
|
I thee wed |
|
I made an entire generation |
|
Obey what we said |
|
I'm talkin' |
|
France to |
|
GermanyFrom |
|
Italy to Japan |
|
From London to |
|
BelgiumTo |
|
Afghanistan |
|
From Farmers |
|
BoulevardSmokin' a blunt with my man |
|
To writin' rhymes on a ironin' board |
|
To build Def |
|
JamYou see, |
|
I'm the undisputed |
|
King of all |
|
Hip-HopEverythin' after is my legacy |
|
Like it or not |
|
And I will keep makin' history |
|
I can't stop |
|
LL Cool JEternally hot |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war(Uh) |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
Look at how easily |
|
I flipped it |
|
And switched the style around |
|
Competition losin' their footin' |
|
I see them fallin' down |
|
They will plot against me |
|
It kills them because |
|
I'm ballin' now |
|
Some of y'all didn't pick up the phone |
|
But I got you callin' now |
|
This is a job that must get done |
|
Even if I become public |
|
Enemy number one |
|
If I had to pick up an |
|
UziThat weighs over a ton |
|
I will attack |
|
Hip-HopUntil competition is none |
|
Nobody on |
|
God's earth wants it with |
|
LYou end up tortured |
|
And trapped in psychological hell |
|
And this is the beginnin' |
|
Of a new era in rap |
|
LL Cool J, feel the impact |
|
It's okay if you call it a comeback |
|
And let them know |
|
I'm ready for combat |
|
Tell those dumb motherfuckers to fall back |
|
The crown looks wrong on your head |
|
I want that |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
|
It's time for war |
