Lyrics

I-I, I need, I-I, I need I-I, I need I need a beat I need a beat, I need a beat (I need a beat, I need a beat) If it's a Malibu beat, subject of discussion Malibu beat, subject of discuss-cussion You're motivated-vated, to aid a percussion-cussion There's no category, for this story-story It-it rock-rock in any territory-tory I syncopate it and design it well-well Beat elevates-vates, the scratch excels-cels All techniques are a combination Of skills that I have, thought narration Last year my melody, but still complete Providing musical energy for the street Lyrics are smooth for maximum effect Jump track patt-erns on cass-ette Time-time snare had bass and cymbal Like that of a cat on the mic I'm nimble Basic patterns, grouped and changed Sequence frequent, seek and gain Break Break, for narration Break two, break two I'm in the center of a, I'm in the center of a Musical skinner, some say the skins is a blow of torture They hear me, they fear me, they hear me, they fear me I'm improving the conditions of the rap industry The beat will expand, to land on foreign lands Germany, Italy, France and Japan, it'll Give you a lift, no need to sniff No butts no how's no why's or if's It's you I defeated, they'll say you retreated Pick up your favorite magazine and read it Wrapped by a power, a musical shower-shower A picture-picture of me-of me on the Eiffel-Eiffel Tower-Tower I need a beat-beat Doing-doing dirty, I'm your-your thought You're bein'-being taken-taken, the musical boom I'm in full treating your eardrums Increasing the rate of vibration I wanna rock ya-rock ya, that's all you need to know-know I need a beat, is the title of the show-show Providing-providing pleasure on the musical measures All-all arranged, to alleviate pressure I'm up on your list, your party thera-therapist Beat programmer and lyri-lyricist Ladies love Cool J, studio user A million or more screaming people abuser I predict, this jam will hit The highest plateau in the world of music Paparazzi, wealth and fame The total propulsion, of my name I need a beat Computer wise, and the engineer's eyes Have to be very acute, education level high The product is mine, beat on the rhyme The control was part of the studio design Track after track, culminating on wax The tape has slack, rewind this back Expensive but useful, the music is the fuel A perfect place for MC's to duel I need a beat, Farmer's Boulevard Queen, queen, queen, queen, queen Ladies love Cool J! Cut Creator!
