The Boomin' System

LL Cool J

{Marley Marl:} 
Just kick a little something for them cars that be bumpin 

Yeah aight 
But we need a beat that they can front to 
Oh, that'll work 
Be funky 
You know what I'm sayin? 

(Cars ride by with the boomin systems) 
(Cars ride by) 

Funky 
For all the cars out there 
And all the brothers 
That like to front in their rides 
Check it out 

You know it's funky, funky, funky cos you heard it from hear-say 
A jam that you love that don't be gettin no airplay 
Strictly for frontin when you're ridin around 
12 o'clock at night with your windows down 
Headlights breakin cos your batteries drain 
Armor all on your tires and a big gold chain 
Parkin outside of all the hip-hop spots 
Push the E-Q 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 
Cos 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 cos my system's fly 

Girlies wanna ride with a brother like me 
Cos they be hear me gettin funky frequently 
They tell me don't drink and drive, I say what is this 
Mind your business 
Now 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 backseat 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 3 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 battlin 
A 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 
Cos I'm frontin in my ride and my word is bond 

Sun roof 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 cosy 
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 
Cos 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 

You know what i'm sayin 
Word 
So next time you're in your ride pumpin it up 
Just remember 
It's Cool 

Peace
