Word up! you know what I'm sayin'? 
I gotta globe in the world in the mail today 
Know what I'm sayin'? Heh, word up! 
Uhh, kid told me "Yo, the world is yours kid, put it in ya pocket" 

Nah mean? 
Make a brother feel good, word up! 
Brother feel energized 
I want to dedicate this one to the game that put me on the map 
You know what I'm sayin'? 

I know you love it, the game is so irresistible to touch 
You should see me when fienin' for microphones that I can clutch 
Droppin' bombs, combinin' the club attracts 
like the Ol' Sugarhill Gang, King Tim and Fatback 

There's no question the suggestion was made 
The foundation was laid when the Furious played 
Grandmaster Flash slayed the competition that was wishin 
they could serve the technician with the number one position 

Uhh, the real deal, Fearless Four scored 
Bambataa was hotter, Spoony was givin' em nutta 
An' I was all up in my headzone, melody and all 
Co-sign and The Movement sayin "Yes, yes y'all" 

It's just the love affair that never ended 
I recommended that I take microphones and blow em up, ain't that splendid 
This one goes out to all the hip-hop do-or-diers 
A song is dedicated to the music I admire 

[Chorus] 
Whenever and ever 
We want you, I need you (I need hip-hop) 
Whenever and ever 
We want you, do you feel the same way too? (I need hip-hop) 

Kane's era was terror, he warmed it up 
Parrish and Erick cat lyrics that'll make ya turn it up 
And I was in the cut, chillin' in my drop-top Benz 
with friends, loungin' with my mens, laughin' 'bout all the ends 

that I spends, making snaps, pumping cool G Rap and Biz 
Dapper Don, Dookie wrotes I'm about to show what time it is 
At the rooftop, I was with Doug E.Fresh and Slick Rick 
'La Di Da Di, Who likes to party?' was the fat shit 

I mean I saw this hip-hop thing on every level 
Chuck D, PE, yes the rhythm and the rebel 
I can reminisce the black fist, Uzi, Terminators 
Terror doom techniques that terrorize the lighter shade 

It's all about the game that we play everyday 
Eric B and Rakim flow to such a different way 
I'm lovin hip-hop 'cause it help brothers escape 
Let's celebrate our music people before it's too late 

[Chorus] 

Survival Of The Fittest-Mobb Deep, and Lost Boyz 
Lickin shots got the game hot 
They even flipped on 2PAC 
Snoop Doggy Dogg put the West Coast in gear 

Dr Dre, NWA, Eazy E's in here 
I want to tell the world they just don't understand 
My man Nas Escobar, Wu-Tang Clan 
Keith Murray to the Redman, down south Da Brat 

My people are you with me where you at?...ya peep that? 
I'm on a mission to rejuvenate the funk 
Bring the game back and give the do-or-diers what they want 
When you hear Craig Mack, Notorious B.I.G. 

Latifah, Heavy D, you should reminisce of me 
Some say it's Naughty By Nature-'hip-hop in all its glory' 
A fleet of battleships floatin' in different categories 
My love affair with hip-hop'll never fade away 

Sincerely yours, LL Cool J 

[Repeat Chorus] 

Yeah, ain't no doubt about it kid, know what I'm sayin'? 
Hip-hop's the game, helped a lot of brothers escape 
Take it to another level, know what I'm sayin'? 
It's our music, we own this music, know whst I'm sayin'? 

Word life! I want to give a couple of shout outs here, know whatI'msayin? 
First of all, I want to thank my man Baby Chris, you know what I mean? 
Helped me put this Mr. Smith...Mr.Smith album together 
Make it hot, know I'm sayin'? 

Thank the Trackmasters, Pope Tone, Steve Stout 
we definitely turning this joint out, you know what I mean 
Word bond! Hip-hop for life, kid! 
Yeah!
