[Intro]
Welcome to Exit 13
I am your host

LL Cool J

[Verse 1]

You said I was finished
And Father Time was the blame
You disrespected my legacy

And threw dirt on my name
Told DJs he's over
He ain't spittin' the same

What he says is irrelevant
Hip-Hop culture has changed
When I walk in the room

Young boys look at me strange
As if I am a relic
From some long forgotten game

It makes my blood boil
Turns my eyes to flames
I built an empire

They tried to kick me out in the rain
So I called on an inner power
It's hard to explain

It's like a holy spirit
Utilizing Hip-Hop slang
I'm beyond the gold grills

And logos on chains
You see I changed rap forever
I elevated the game

Launched the greatest label
In the history of rap
And for 24 years

I carried it on my back
I've always shined brighter
When I'm under attack

I might be down for a moment
But I always come back


[Chorus]
It's time for war
It's time for war

It's time for war
It's time for war (Uh, yeah)
It's time for war

It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war (Check it)

It's time for war

[Verse 2]

This is a resurrection
I'm back from the dead
They told me quit a long time ago

But I conquered instead
I had dreams and visions
Swirling around in my head

I had this hunger deep inside of me
That has to be fed
Hip-Hop will respect

All the blood that I shed
I have a covenant with God
I have swallowed the bread

Hip-Hop my co-defendant
With this mic I thee wed
I made an entire generation

Obey what we said
I'm talkin' France to Germany
From Italy to Japan

From London to Belgium
To Afghanistan
From Farmers Boulevard

Smokin' a blunt with my man
To writin' rhymes on a ironing board
To build Def Jam

You see, I'm the undisputed
King of all Hip-Hop
Everything after is my legacy
Like it or not
And I will keep making history

I can't stop
LL Cool J
Eternally hot

[Chorus]

It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war (Uh)

It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war


[Verse 3]
Look at how easily I flipped it
And switched the style around
Competition losin' their footing
I see them falling down
They will plot against me

It kills them because I'm ballin' now
Some of y'all didn't pick up the phone
But I got you callin' now
This is a job that must get done
Even if I become public enemy number one
If I had to pick up an Uzi
That weighs over a ton

I will attack Hip-Hop
Until competition is none
Nobody on God's earth wants it with L
You end up tortured
And trapped in psychological hell
And this is the beginning
Of a new era in rap

LL Cool J, feel the impact
It's okay if you call it a comeback
And let them know
I'm ready for combat
Tell those dumb mother$#&@ers to fall back
The crown looks wrong on your head
I want that


[Chorus]
It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war

It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war
It's time for war

It's time for war


It's time for war
