LL Cool J — The Boomin’ System Underground Mix

[Intro: LL Cool J, Marley Marl] Ha ha, ayo, yo, yo Let's do a little something for the brothers that be frontin' Yeah, a'ight But we need a beat that they can front to Oh, that'll work Be funky You know what I'm sayin? Funky For all the cars out there And all the brothers That like to front in their rides Check it out [Verse 1: LL Cool J] You know it's funky, funky, funky 'cause you heard it from here, see A jam that you love that don't be gettin' no airplay Strictly for frontin' when you're ridin' around Twelve o'clock at night with your windows down Headlights blinkin' 'cause your battery's drained Armor All on your tires and a big gold chain Parkin' outside of all the hip-hop spots Push the EQ and play connect the dots Leanin' to the side, people everywhere The trunk full of amps, there ain't no room for a spare Big beats bumpin' with the bass in back All the sophisticated suckers catch a heart attack 'Cause they don't understand why I act this way Pumpin' up the funky beat until the break of day It's because I want attention when I'm ridin' by And the girls be on my jock 'cause my system's fly [Chorus: LL Cool J] "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" Just frontin' "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" [Verse 2: LL Cool J] Girlies wanna ride with a brother like me 'Cause they be hearin' me gettin' funky frequently They tell me, "Don't drink and drive," I say, "What is this?" Pass the Heineken and mind your business Roll up a fat one and pass it around Laid back, hypnotized by the funky sound People in the street see me bobbin' my head While I'm checkin' out the rapper and the rhyme that he said I'm frontin', and I don't care if you know The back seat of my car is like a disco show You would think I was a good friend of Al Capone Crazy air freshener, who needs cologne Bottom to the bottom to the top to the top Cruise...it's three o'clock The girlies, they smile, they see me comin' I'm steady hummin', I got the Funky Drummer drummin' My trunk be shakin', vibratin' and rattlin' Pumpin' so loud, all the shorties be babblin' My right-hand man's here without the swing Every chance I get I'm showin' off my rings I can keep it up until the break of dawn 'Cause I'm frontin' in my ride and my word is bond [Chorus: LL Cool J] "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" Funky, know what I mean? "Cars ride by—" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by—" [Verse 3: LL Cool J] Sunroof open, so I can feel the wind blow I don't give a damn if it cracks my back window C to the O to the O to the L to the I to the N To the F to the R to the O to the N to the T to the I to the N That means I'm chillin' Like Spoonie Gee said, my seats are soft like a bed They recline way back so I can get real cozy I got the gangster tapes in the place Like a basehead would say: I want bass I want a hit, I want a dose You're rollin' up smilin' but you can't come close 'Cause my system is pumpin' loud Like Rakim said: I wanna Move the Crowd I Warm It Up with Kane, Fight the Power with PE Tell the cops: You Gots to Chill with EPMD This is something devastatin' that'll break your trunk And remember, Uncle L is like the future of the funk [Chorus: LL Cool J] Yeah "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" The frontin' "Cars ride by—" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" You know what I'm sayin'? Word "Cars ride by—" So next time you're in your ride pumpin' it up "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" Just remember "Cars ride by—" It's cool "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by—" Peace [Outro: LL Cool J] "With the boomin' system" "With the boomin' system" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by—" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by—" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by—" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by—" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system" "Cars ride by—" "Cars ride by with the boomin' system"
