Ll Cool J - I Need A Beat lyrics

rate me

[this sounds like a remix; cutting and scratching mars some of the lyrics]

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 glo-glory, 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

Ba-sic patterns, grouped and changed

Se-quence fre-quent, 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 improvin 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-bein taken-taken, the musical boom

I'm in full trating 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 James, studio user

A million or more screamin 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 then back

Expensive but useful, the music is the fuel

A perfect place for MC's to duel...

I need a beat... Farmer's Boulevard...

Ha-Ha... Queens! Ladies Love Cool James!

Cut Cre-ator!...
