[Intro]
Uh Mr. Smith, Mr Smith, Mr Smith
Uh Mr Smith, it's the bomb y'knowhutI'msayin? Mr Smith
Mr Smith, word up kid, yeah Mr Smith, check it out

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' to the top, leavin' smoke in my trail
Bitch ass gangstas put that ass on sale
And even if I'm twice as expensive as the rest
When I go for dolo, you ain't checkin' for nothin' less
My strategy is splittin' brain cavity's
It's ya majesty bringin' you a tragedy
Yeah, on the butcher block slice her like a ox
When it's time to get down, nigga I jam like a Glock
I bust through all types of red tape and sue papes
Niggas come old but they always wanna infiltrate
I'm cuttin' snakes through the belly witta icepick
And scoopin' hotties, a strong aisle of flip trips
It's the rebirth of murkin' niggas once again
I drain with ink and put your blood in my pen
I'm breakin' ribs 'til somethin' gives
A nigga got to live and Mr Smith is power god, kid

[Chorus]
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up

[Verse 2]
What? You wanna do what? You lack the vitality
Originality, so face reality
I'm on some ole wild shit, ya niggas can't get wit
Matter of fact, mornin' yawn and suck a dick
Nah hold up, the fuck is goin' on?
All these cartoon character MC's gettin' airborne
Takin off like a hot air balloon
Goin up up up, oh no kaboom
Bring your heroes down to ground zero
Shotty grippin' ya grill like Pesci and DeNiro
I'm on some [BLANK] shit, throats is gettin' shit
Scoopedin' New Jacks and kick 'em in the fire pit
Tell them ole Jap niggas they need to go and stick it
Cos when it comes to this rap shit I'm mad wicked
The grand sire bringin' flavor to the whole game
Mr Smith is my motherfuckin' name

[Chorus]
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
To the bridge

[Bridge]
Mr Smith (I was a mack since birth)
Talkin' 'bout Mr Smith (I invented the taadow!) Uh
Talkin 'bout Mr Smith
Talkin 'bout Mr Smith
Talkin 'bout

[Verse 3]
Time's up, your rhyme's up, mix the lines up
I'm about to blow the spot up with that divine touch
I got the magnetic energetic lyrical calasthetic
Ya better call a medic cos ya look pathetic
Guan boy it's the champion Mr Smith
Your niggas couldn't raise up with a forklift
Cocked the hammer, peep out the grammar
It's hard like Bacardi and hot like a house party
All your so-called flavor niggas is deaded
Your next step is where ya headed so don't forget it
Your rhymes is beat, your steelo's scarred to scrape
When you scream you sound muddy like a bled teeth
I get'cha open like f-lay, 'tack you when I spray
Lethal compositions around your way
I'm the maniacal murderous Mr James Smith
Rippin' ya ass out the frame with my verbal gift

[Chorus]
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up
Mr Smith you got the shit sewed up
Work ya thang baby, show 'em how to blow up

LL Cool J

Deriving his name from the statement “Ladies Love Cool James,” LL Cool J became a superstar rapper after his Def Jam debut in 1984. He mixed a hardcore hip-hop style from songs like “I’m Bad” with R&B style on songs like “I Need Love,” which led him to multi-platinum success and several awards. He would later venture into movies and television, write several books, and start different business ventures.

Born January 14, 1968, Queens, New York native James Todd Smith began rapping at the age of nine and started to seriously pursue rapping when he was 16 years old after his grandfather bought him music equipment, which he used to create a demo tape that was sent to numerous labels. He was signed by upstart independent label Def Jam, working with founders Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin to release his debut single “I Need a Beat” in 1984, which sold over 100,000 copies. This success helped Def Jam secure a distribution deal with Columbia Records.

LL released his debut album Radio in 1985, which achieved platinum status with help from the hit singles “I Can’t Live Without My Radio” and “Rock the Bells.” After working exclusively with Rick Rubin on his debut, LL worked with the West Coast production crew L.A. Posse on his second album Bigger and Deffer, released in 1987. The album featured two of LL’s signature the hard-edged “I’m Bad” and the “rap ballad” “I Need Love,” which was a Top 20 pop hit, helping the album achieve double platinum status.
