Jealous Lyrics by LL COOL J

Walking with a Panther

1989

[Intro]
Yeah
You know what I'm sayin'?
Eh-heh
It's real funny, you know what I mean?
I like, can't believe this, y'know?
Jealousy like tried to move on me, you know wha I'm sayin'?
So I said nah I ain't gonna, y'know
Make no energetic hyped up yellin, type joint, know what I mean?
I'm just gon' cool back, you know what I’m sayin'?
Word up to this slow gangster beat type thing
Check it out, yo

[Verse 1]
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, ramsack, 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

[Hook]
Jealous, Jealous
(There's no need to be)
Jealous, Jealous
(Bit mellow, you know what I’m sayin'?)
Jealous, Jealous
(Gangster groove, word up know what I'm sayin'?)
Jealous, Jealous
(Check it out, y'all)

[Verse 2]
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 they 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'mma 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 a smooth chorus

[Hook]
Jealous, Jealous
(Know what I’m sayin'? Smooth, word up)
Jealous, Jealou
(Huh, crazy gangster beat, you know what I’m sayin'?
It's like a gangster lean)
Jealous, Jealous
(Yeah yeah, you know what I’m sayin'?
It's Cool J in the house, you know what I’m sayin'?)
Jealous, Jealous
(Word up, check it out
Check it, yo)

[Verse 3]
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 now turn it out
Without a doubt and if it hits you in the heart don't pout
'Cause I'mma 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'mma never chill
Allah take a break from this, yo I love swingin'
Yo E, pop the bubbly, fellas, start singin'

[Hook]
Jealous, Jealous
(Know what I’m sayin'?
It's like a crazy gangster groove, you know what I mean?)
Jealous, Jealous
(Huh-huh, Jealousy ain't got no wins, you know what I’m sayin'?)
Jealous, Jealous
(You know, but it ain't nuttin', you know what I’m sayin'?
'Cause yo I'm the prince of rap know what I’m sayin'? Word up)
Jealous, Jealous
(Yo, it's crazy, I am the one
Bust it)

[Verse 4]
Oooh yeah, now I'mma wind it up
It's time to move on and end the Jealousy cut
And head off with a bang that 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

[Outro]
You know what I’m sayin', man?
Yo (That's word yeah I hear that)
Yeah word up (Can't hang out man)
Yo it ain't nuttin' though, you know what I’m sayin'?
'Cause we gon' do this (We gon' do it right)
(Get involved man)
Yo, get the champagne man (Just chill)
