[Intro]
  Come on, yo come on (survivor, survivor)
  Come on, come on, come on, come on (survivor, survivor)
  Come on, come on (soul survivor)
  Come on, come on, come on, come on
    [LL Cool J]
  They said I wasn't rough, too much dough, he got an old flow
  Everytime you open your mouth you feel your elbow
  I'll catch a felony on top of a melody
  brought a family, and dough woulda been so happily
  I'll beat the Laker off of a clown and chop him down to size
  Sick of all these wanna-be bad guys
  Made loot, many g's, bought a crib where I live
  told my kids - "yo, damn, that I'm a fugitive"
  Runnin' from the streets and our beats - the sad sheets, uh
  A sunny beach, video hoes within reach
  Farmers Boulevard - liberty and forty is gone
  And E ain't put nobody on
  When I came back to smack and give 'em a welt
  like belts makin' them strip and all of that
  Punks better run for they guns
  I'm not the one and can't nobody rule until L's done
    [Chorus]
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)

  I worked the Murphy on the mix
  What's wrong with these stupid lunatics playin' "Joint" for a drag-bit?
  I'm harder than-?find in a jar?
  People wasn't rippin' these records, all of y'all would get robbed
  I'm comin' straight out the barrel with your name on my arm
  blowin' the hoody of your head like a home-made bomb (BOOM!!)
  I'm big and so you figured I would relax (nah!)
  Don't ever sleep I'll wake ya up with an axe
  The Boulevard ain't safe for my beats - drop the herb
  Twenty times harder without a curse
  Makin' rats flee, hardcore - and that's me!!
  The baddest soloist in hip-hop history
  L-L-C-to-the-O-to-the-O-L-J, so what'cha wanna know?
  Throw ya in the MVP on your knees G
  A crowbar in your mouth - now ask me...
    [Chorus]
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  Take it to the bridge
    Who's the man on the mic? (the L the L)
  Who's the man on the mic? (the L the L)
  Who's the man on the mic? (the L the L)
  Who's the man on the mic? (the L the L)
  Who's the man on the mic? (the L the L)
  Who's the man on the mic? (the L the L)
  Who's the man on the mic? (the L the L)
  Who's the man on the mic?
    [LL Cool J]
  My territory's hard, I'm rollin' with one railguard
  The microphone is my credit card
  Blowin' your boots off, freeload - you're too soft
  Usin' a butcher's knife to make your whole root call
  I heard somebody said the skills wasn't good
  I'm lettin' eighty tigers loose in this neighborhood (RAH!!)
  I pop the willies on my bike, lickin' shots
  and laughin' everytime you sneak a weak paragraph in
  You blowin' your mind, blunted and cocoa and time
  ain't nuttin' changed, you wrote another wack rhyme
  I'll leave your bullet-bittled body on the curb
  lookin' slerve with a t-shirt - DON'T DISTURB THE HERB!!!
  You're the next contestant tonight
  Come on down to my shake clown - the slice is right
  Rip your jaw out the socket, been rockin' for years
  tell the troop, you're still look with E and drop it!
  AS I DEAF-TIFY YOUR EYE, COMPETITION TRIES TO MASS MY SIZE!!
  Buryin' the acts and your back will be rhymes and tracks
  while you're sleepin' like a "sleaze-stack" - BELIEVE THAT!!
    [Chorus]
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
    Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
  come on, come on, come on, come on (soul survivor), come on
    [Chorus]
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
  It's the L baby, baby, the L baby, baby
  It's the L baby, baby, the heart (soul survivor)
