[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 motherfuckers 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
