[Verse 1]

My radio, believe me, I like it loud

I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd

Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat

While my JVC vibrates the concrete

I'm sorry if you can't understand

But I need a radio inside my hand

Don't mean to offend other citizens

But I kick my volume way past 10

My story is rough, my neighbourhood is tough

But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush

My name is Cool J, I devastate the show

But I couldn't survive without my radio

Terrorising my neighbours with the heavy bass

I keep the suckas in fear by the look on my face

My radio's bad from the Boulevard

I'm a hip-hop gangster and my name is Todd

Just stimulated by the beat, bust out the rhyme

Get fresh batteries if it won't rewind

Cos I play everyday, even on the subway

I woulda got a summons but I ran away

I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go

But I know I can't live without my radio

[Verse 2]

Suckas on my jock when I walk down the block

I really don't care if you're jealous or not

Cos I make the songs, you sing along

And your radio's def when my record's on

So get off the wall, become involved

All your radio problems have now been solved

My treacherous beats make ya ears respond

And my radio's loud like a fire alarm

The floor vibrates, the walls cave in

The bass makes my eardrums seem thin

Def sounds in my ride, yes the front and back

You would think it was a party, not a Cadillac

Cos I drive up to the ave, with the windows closed

And my bass is so loud, it could rip your clothes

My stereo's thumpin' like a savage beast

The level on my power meter will not decrease

Suckas get mad, cos the girlies scream

And I'm still gettin' paid while you look at me mean

I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go

But I know I can't live without my radio

I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go

And I know I can't live without my radio

[Verse 3]

Don't touch that dial, I'll be upset

Might go into a fit and rip off your neck

Cos the radio's thumpin' when I'm down to play

I'm the royal chief rocker LL Cool J

Let your big butt bounce from right to left

Cos it's a actual fact this jam is def

Most definitely created by me

Goin' down in radio history

I'm good to go on your radio

And I'm cold gettin' paid cos Rick said so

Make the woofers wallop and your tweeters twitch

Some jealous knuckleheads might try to dis

But it's nuthin', ya frontin', ya girl I am stuntin'

And my radio's loud enough to keep you gruntin'

My name is Cool J, I'm from the rock

Circulating through your radio non-stop

I'm lookin' at the wires behind the cassette

And now I'm on the right, standing on the eject

Wearin' light blue Pumas, a whole lotta gold

And jams like these keep me in control

I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go

And I know I can't live without my radio

[Verse 4]

Your energy level starts to increase

As my big beat is slowly released

I'm on the radio and at the jam

LL Cool J is who I am

Imma make ya dance, boogie down and rock

And you'll scratch and shake to my musical plot

And to expand my musical plan

Cut Creator, rock the beat with your hands

That's right, so don't try to front the move

As you become motivated by the funky groove

You can see me and Earl chillin' on the block

With my box cold kickin' with the gangster rock

See people can't stop me, neither can the police

I'm a musical maniac to say the least

For you and your radio I made this for

Cool J's here to devastate once more

Pullin' all the girls, takin' out MCs

If ya try to disrespect me, I just say Please!

Here to command the hip-hop land

Kick it live with a box inside my hand

I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go

But I know I can't live without my radio

Farmers Boulevard, yeah, you know that's where me and E hang out, cool

out, you know what I'm sayin'? That's where the crib's at.
