It's Time For War
LL Cool J

Welcome to Exit thirteen

I am your host

Ll Cool J


You said I was finished

And Father Time was the blame

You disrespected my legacy

And threw dirt on my name


Told djs he's over

He ain't spittin' the same

What he says is irrelevant

Hip-Hop culture has changed


When I walk in the room

Young boys look at me strange

As if I am a relic

From some long forgotten game


It makes my blood boil

Turns my eyes to flames

I built an empire

They tried to kick me out in the rain


So I called on an inner power

It's hard to explain

It's like a holy spirit

Utilizing Hip-Hop slang


I'm beyond the gold grills

And logos on chains

You see I changed rap forever

I elevated the game


Launched the greatest label

In the history of rap

And for twenty four years

I carried it on my back


I've always shined brighter

When I'm under attack

I might be down for a moment

But I always come back


It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

(Uh, yeah)


It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

(Check it)

It's time for war


This is a resurrection

I'm back from the dead

They told me to quit a long time ago

But I conquered instead


I had dreams and visions

Swirlin' around in my head

I had this hunger deep inside of me

That has to be fed


Hip-Hop will respect

All the blood that I shed

I have a covenant with God

I have swallowed the bread


Hip-Hop my co-defendant

With this mic I thee wed

I made an entire generation

Obey what we said


I'm talkin' France to Germany

From Italy to Japan

From London to Belgium

To Afghanistan


From Farmers Boulevard

Smokin' a blunt with my man

To writin' rhymes on a ironin' board

To build Def Jam


You see, I'm the undisputed

King of all Hip-Hop

Everythin' after is my legacy

Like it or not


And I will keep makin' history

I can't stop

Ll Cool J

Eternally hot


It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

(Uh)


It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war


Look at how easily I flipped it

And switched the style around

Competition losin' their footin'

I see them fallin' down


They will plot against me

It kills them because I'm ballin' now

Some of y'all didn't pick up the phone

But I got you callin' now


This is a job that must get done

Even if I become public

Enemy number one


If I had to pick up an Uzi

That weighs over a ton

I will attack Hip-Hop

Until competition is none


Nobody on God's earth wants it with L

You end up tortured

And trapped in psychological hell

And this is the beginnin'

Of a new era in rap


Ll Cool J, feel the impact

It's okay if you call it a comeback

And let them know

I'm ready for combat


Tell those dumb motherfuckers to fall back

The crown looks wrong on your head

I want that


It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war


It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war

It's time for war


It's time for war

It's time for war
