   Verse 1
   
   My radio, believe me, I like it loud
   I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd
   Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat
   While my JVC vibrates the concrete
   I'm sorry if you can't understand
   But I need a radio inside my hand
   Don't mean to offend other citizens
   But I kick my volume way past 10
   My story is rough, my neighbourhood is tough
   But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush
   My name is Cool J, I devastate the show
   But I couldn't survive without my radio
   Terrorising my neighbours with the heavy bass
   I keep the suckas in fear by the look on my face
   My radio's bad from the Boulevard
   I'm a hip-hop gangster and my name is Todd
   Just stimulated by the beat, bust out the rhyme
   Get fresh batteries if it won't rewind
   Cos I play everyday, even on the subway
   I woulda got a summons but I ran away
   I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
   But I know I can't live without my radio
   
   Verse 2
   
   Suckas on my jock when I walk down the block
   I really don't care if you're jealous or not
   Cos I make the songs, you sing along
   And your radio's def when my record's on
   So get off the wall, become involved
   All your radio problems have now been solved
   My treacherous beats make ya ears respond
   And my radio's loud like a fire alarm
   The floor vibrates, the walls cave in
   The bass makes my eardrums seem thin
   Def sounds in my ride, yes the front and back
   You would think it was a party, not a Cadillac
   Cos I drive up to the ave, with the windows closed
   And my bass is so loud, it could rip your clothes
   My stereo's thumpin' like a savage beast
   The level on my power meter will not decrease
   Suckas get mad, cos the girlies scream
   And I'm still gettin' paid while you look at me mean
   I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
   But I know I can't live without my radio
   I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
   And I know I can't live without my radio
   
   Verse 3
   
   Don't touch that dial, I'll be upset
   Might go into a fit and rip off your neck
   Cos the radio's thumpin' when I'm down to play
   I'm the royal chief rocker LL Cool J
   Let your big butt bounce from right to left
   Cos it's a actual fact this jam is def
   Most definitely created by me
   Goin' down in radio history
   I'm good to go on your radio
   And I'm cold gettin' paid cos Rick said so
   Make the woofers wallop and your tweeters twitch
   Some jealous knuckleheads might try to dis
   But it's nuthin', ya frontin', ya girl I am stuntin'
   And my radio's loud enough to keep you gruntin'
   My name is Cool J, I'm from the rock
   Circulating through your radio non-stop
   I'm lookin' at the wires behind the cassette
   And now I'm on the right, standing on the eject
   Wearin' light blue Pumas, a whole lotta gold
   And jams like these keep me in control
   I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
   And I know I can't live without my radio
   
   Verse 4
   
   Your energy level starts to increase
   As my big beat is slowly released
   I'm on the radio and at the jam
   LL Cool J is who I am
   Imma make ya dance, boogie down and rock
   And you'll scratch and shake to my musical plot
   And to expand my musical plan
   Cut Creator, rock the beat with your hands
   
   That's right, so don't try to front the move
   As you become motivated by the funky groove
   You can see me and Earl chillin' on the block
   With my box cold kickin' with the gangster rock
   See people can't stop me, neither can the police
   I'm a musical maniac to say the least
   For you and your radio I made this for
   Cool J's here to devastate once more
   Pullin' all the girls, takin' out MCs
   If ya try to disrespect me, I just say Please!
   Here to command the hip-hop land
   Kick it live with a box inside my hand
   I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go
   But I know I can't live without my radio
   
   Farmers Boulevard, yeah, you know that's where me and E hang out, cool
   out, you know what I'm sayin'? That's where the crib's at.
