Jealous Songtext
von LL Cool J

Yeah, you know what I′m sayin? Hehe
It's real funny, you know what I mean?
I like can′t believe this, you know?
Jealousy like tried to move on me, you know what I'm sayin?
So I said, nah, I ain't gon′ you know
Make no energetic, hyped up, yellin′, type joint
You know what I mean?
I'm just gon′ cool back, you know what I'm sayin?
Word up to this slow gangsta beat type thing
Check it out, y′all


Jealousy, I wanna kill him and shoot him
He's a sucker, I′d like to execute him
Recruit him, put him in my school and school him
I said somethin simple, and I knew that I'd fool him
He's only mediocre, Jealousy can′t get with me
Hang up your clothes, cause Jealousy ain′t spit to me
He's just a monkey, ridin my back
In fact, I kidnap, ransack, hijack, and backslap the fool
See, my name is Cool J
I play for keeps, the microphone′s my tool
I've been holdin back long enough, I had to bring it
Jealousy is in the house, y′all, fellas sing it

Jealous
Jealous
(There's no need to be)
Jealous
Jealous
(Keep mellow, you know what I′m sayin?)
Jealous
(Gangsta groove)
Jealous
(Word up, you know what I'm sayin?)
Jealous
(Check it out, y'all)
Jealous


I′m not lackadaisical or lazy on the microphone
I bring the bacon home, so Jealousy, go home
Or play the wall and pout about the way the prince is rollin
So when to give it up, stand back, and start foldin
All your jealous show clothes, I think you need to grab a
Half-pint of Cisco and hang out with Backstabber
Cause I′ma break down all walls Jealousy built
And then walk tall, like I'm standin on stilts, yeah
Jealousy the Jam is mean, you′ll have to rewind it
If you didn't know about him, you must have been blinded
Ask him if I′m right, he'll tell you he sure is
Excuse me for a moment, fellas, sing the smooth chorus

Jealous
Jealous
(Know what I′m sayin? Smooth, word up)
Jealous
(Huh, crazy gangsta beat, you know what I'm sayin?)
Jealous
(It's like a gangsta′s move)
Jealous
(Yeah yeah, you know what I′m sayin?)
Jealous
(It's Cool J in the house, you know what I′m sayin?)
Jealous
(Word up, check it out)
Jealous
(Check it, yo)

Thank you, fellas, the way you sung the chorus was swift
But now it's time to pump lyrics and shoot the gift
His name is Jealousy, fellas, see what I mean?
I turn it out without a doubt
And if it hits you in the heart, don′t pout
Cause I'ma hit Jealousy and his posse where it hurts a lot
Him and his boys have a habit, they always smirk a lot
And make mean faces, I see ′em in many places
Scared to face us, they wish they could erase us
Or outdo us, can't do damage and never will
The Legend in Leather is clever, man, I'ma never chill
Out or take a break from this, yo, I love swingin
Yo E, pop the bubbly, fellas, start singin

Jealous
Jealous
(Know what I′m sayin? It′s like the crazy gangsta groove)
Jealous
(Know what I mean? Haha, yo)
Jealous
(Jealousy ain't got no wins, you know what I′m sayin?)
Jealous
(Yo, but it ain't nothin, you know what I′m sayin? Cause yo)
Jealous
(I'm the prince of rap, know what I′m sayin? Word up)
Jealous
(Yo, it's crazy)
Jealous
(I ended on a bust it)

Ooh yeah, now I'ma wind it up
It′s time to move on and end the Jealousy cut
It hit off with a bang, they sang and kicked your brain in
I flowed like water, now I′m finished explainin
In the spotlight tonight, his name was Jealousy
And for some strange reason, it seems fellas be
Fallin for him, I hope you understood
Stay away from him, he ain't no good

You know what I′m sayin, man, yo
A lot of jealousy involved, man, word up
Yeah, I hear that, man, can't hang out, man
Yo, it ain′t nothin though, you know what I'm sayin?
Cause we gon′ do this
We gon' do it right
Yeah, we are, man
Yo, get the champagne, man
Just chill
