The Boomin' System - LL COOL J

Just kick a little something for them cars that be bumping

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)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

Funky

(Cars ride by)

For all the cars out there

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

And all the brothers

That like to front in their rides

(Cars ride by)

Check it out

You know it’s funky, funky, funky 'cause you heard it from hearsay

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' 'cause 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

'Cause 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 'cause my system’s fly

Girlies wanna ride with a brother like me

'Cause 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 drumming

My trunk be shakin', vibratin' and rattlin'

Pumpin so loud, all the shorties be babblin'

My 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

'Cause I’m frontin' in my ride and my word is bond

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

Sunroof 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 cozy

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

'Cause 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

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

(Cars ride by with the boomin' systems)

You know what I’m sayin', word

So next time you’re in your ride pumpin' it up

Just remember

It’s cool

Peace
