[Verse 2]
Yeah
I'm bout to wet it up, get it up
Take a track, drape it in jewels and set it up
I'm so nasty✦ with mines,✦ I warm it up like raw liquor
Dime pieces✦ throw it at me like a free picker✦
I'm open,✦ I let the funk soak in
I taste like an eighth, ya freeze and start chokin✦
Yeah son I'm all up in ya mix
Ya callin✦ in your clique, I'm bawlin✦ wit'cha✦ trick
Golden✦ rocks fallin✦ off my neck and wrists
When I breeze by, you be groovin in the midst
Of my cycle, every✦ move I make is vital✦
Crucial,✦ official,✦ brothers sayin "L we miss you"
Much love to all the shooby✦ doobies✦ and cliques
While you're bawlin✦ in the coupe you know I had to get the six
Get your swerve on boo, chill wit me
Get me, I want the CREAM, baby✦ hit me
Now take it to the bridge
[Bridge]
(Keep it comin✦ baby)✦
(Keep it comin✦ baby)✦
(Keep it comin✦ baby)✦
Keep on
*repeat✦ x4*
[Verse 3]
Somebody tell me the way I keep comin✦ up
Funk runnin✦ up and mad spots is blowin✦ up
It gets hot when I manifest melodies✦
Beatin✦ niggas all in their heads, so what you tellin✦ me?
Get your drink on, throw you mink on
Let your head nod, stick it out, that's what I'm talkin✦ bout
I got ya deep deep down inside✦ my mixture
Swervin curbs, servin✦ as I fixed ya
Formulated✦ and combinated,✦ the people congregated✦
You frontin for nothin,✦ your crew is overrated✦
And I'ma✦ take it on down to the AM
Keep the drama✦ flowin✦ til the party✦ cave in
Uhh, I get you open,✦ baby✦ come and get a fix
Yo, that's word to mother✦ I be droppin mad shit
Let's organise, bounce together for real son
Trick a little though, sip a little Moe, peace one
[Outro]
(Keep it comin✦ baby)✦ Keep it goin baby✦
(Keep it comin✦ baby)✦ Keep it goin baby✦
(Keep it comin✦ baby)✦ Keep it goin baby✦
(Keep it comin✦ baby)✦ Keep on
*repeat✦ x4*

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

LL Cool J utilizes a high-density, energetic flow consistent with late-90s commercial rap, prioritizing cadence and internal rhyme structure over complex lyrical subtext.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on heavy internal rhyme density and AABB-adjacent couplets with aggressive multi-syllabic end-rhyme chains (e.g., set it up/get it up).
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I want the CREAM"

① A reference to Wu-Tang Clan's 'C.R.E.A.M.', serving as an acronym for 'Cash Rules Everything Around Me'.② A literal reference to sexual desire or physical gratification, maintaining the song's thematic focus on seduction and 'heat'.

Excellent rhythmic placement and flow control

Consistent use of multi-syllabic clusters

High-energy delivery that maintains momentum

Limited depth in metaphor and lyrical subtext

Reliance on generic hip-hop tropes for the era

Lack of complex wordplay or nuanced double entendres
