The Breakthrough

L.L. Cool J

Verse



Knuckleheads spreadin' gossip all over town

Every time I drive by you're just standin' around

Hundred-bottles in your pocket, forty-dog in your hand

Don't you know you're just a worker and your boss is my man?

L.L. this, L.L. that, soon as I walk in the place

A old man, when people ask you what you did with your life

you'll say "I hated L.L. and I carried a big knife"

Every day is a chase, every day is a race

and every day you're being overpowered by my bass

Too much juice to be a deuce, I had to be a ace

It's like the fire's in my eyes and the gun's in my face

I'm stompin' stupid knuckleheads until they bleed
