intro: ll cool j
("for alla y'all")
Yeah, this one goes out to all the ladies in the house
("for alla y'all")
To all the ladies, all the ladies, all the ladies in the house
("for alla y'all")
All the ladies, all the ladies, all the ladies in the house
("for alla y'all")
All the ladies, all the ladies, all the ladies in the house
("for alla y'all")
All the ladies, all the ladies, pretty ladies in the house
("for alla y'all")
("for alla y'all")

verse 1: ll cool j
I need you to stand by me when the chips are down and
Stick around while i defend my crown and
No sellout, the trip is too rough and
Although your skin is soft, i need your mind to be tough
And i may seem rough but life is much rougher
To see success sometimes you gotta suffer
I need a woman that's stronger than material needs
And isn't motivated by greed
Dryin' my teardrops and feelin' my pain and
Watchin' my back while i strive to maintain and
Makin' love like a medicine doctor
I knew that she was bad from the day that i clocked her

chorus: dawn green, teddy riley
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
You got to stand by your baby
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
You got to stand by your baby

verse 2: ll cool j
My enemies come and my fake friends talk
But you recognize game, roll your eyes and walkin'
Baby,d ain't no way i'll let the vultures attack you
So i'll teach you the game and tell you how to react to
The conversation, sexy vibration
Visual stimulation, slick persuasion
Times is hard, i need a woman that rolls with god
And the only man she loves is todd
Will you be around when the raindrops fallin'
Or could it be you never loved me at all, and
I need a trooper, a soldier, a agent
I need someone who can roll with my arrangement
The reproducer factor and
The queen of the universe, not an actor and
Standin' by her man 'til the end
Not only as a lover but a friend

chorus: dawn green, teddy riley, ll cool j
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
You got to stand by your baby (yeah)
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
You got to stand by your baby

verse 3: ll cool j
Then, when things get better
We can look back at the old love letter
Remember the times when they said i couldn't do it
But i was rougher than rough and baby you knew it, and
You held back when your love jones called in
You had faith when they said that i'd fall and
You understood that what we had was good
You stood by your man like a real queen should
That's why now i got you living your dream as
A beautiful wisdom, a part of my team, and
As long as i live on this earth
Anything you want is what your loyalty's worth

chorus: dawn green, teddy riley, ll cool j
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
(i wanna send this one out to all the ladies in the house)
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
You got to stand by your baby
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
You got to stand by your baby (yeah)
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
You got to stand by your baby
(stand by your man, word)
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
You got to stand by your baby (peace)
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
You got to stand by your baby
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
You got to stand by your baby

outro: dawn green
("for alla y'all")
("for alla y'all")
Stand by your man
("for alla y'all")
("for alla y'all")
You got to stand by your baby

Biography

edit bio
Deriving his name from the statement “Ladies Love Cool James,” LL Cool J became a superstar rapper after his Def Jam debut in 1984. He mixed a hardcore hip-hop style from songs like “I’m Bad” with R&B style on songs like “I Need Love,” which led him to multi-platinum success and several awards. He would later venture into movies and television, write several books, and start different business ventures.

Born January 14, 1968, Queens, New York native James Todd Smith began rapping at the age of nine and started to seriously pursue rapping when he was 16 years old after his grandfather bought him music equipment, which he used to create a demo tape that was sent to numerous labels. He was signed by upstart independent label Def Jam, working with founders Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin to release his debut single “I Need a Beat” in 1984, which sold over 100,000 copies. This success helped Def Jam secure a distribution deal with Columbia Records.

LL released his debut album Radio in 1985, which achieved platinum status with help from the hit singles “I Can’t Live Without My Radio” and “Rock the Bells.” After working exclusively with Rick Rubin on his debut, LL worked with the West Coast production crew L.A. Posse on his second album Bigger and Deffer, released in 1987. The album featured two of LL’s signature songs: the hard-edged “I’m Bad” and the “rap ballad” “I Need Love,” which was a Top 20 pop hit, helping the album achieve double platinum status.

His third album, 1989’s Walking with a Panther, was another platinum hit, featuring the singles “Going Back to Cali,” “Big Ole Butt,” “I’m That Type of Guy,” and “Jingling Baby.” LL came right back a year later with the Marley Marl-produced Mama Said Knock You Out, a double platinum success featuring “The Boomin' System,” the Top 10 pop hit “Around the Way Girl,” and the explosive title track, which won LL a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance in 1991.

While his 1993 album 14 Shots to the Dome didn’t make much noise, his 1995 follow-up Mr. Smith brought LL back to double platinum success with the hits “Doin' It,” “Loungin' (Who Do Ya Luv Remix),” and the lead single “Hey Lover” with Boyz II Men, which won LL another Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance in 1996. LL went on to release several albums, including his All World: Greatest Hits collection in 1996.

In 2000, LL titled his album G.O.A.T., proclaiming himself the Greatest Of All Time in the rap game. LL’s braggadocios bravado had him involved in several beefs throughout his career. His first major beef came against Kool Moe Dee, with Moe Dee’s main attack coming from “How Ya Like Me Now” in 1987 and LL responding with “Jack the Ripper.” LL then responded to jabs from Moe Dee, Ice-T and MC Hammer in 1990 on “To Da Break of Dawn.” In 1997, LL had a misunderstanding with Canibus over one of his lines on LL’s “4, 3, 2, 1,” causing Canibus to be removed from the song and LL changing his verse to subliminally diss Canibus. This led to Canibus dissing LL on “Second Round K.O.” and LL responding with “The Ripper Strikes Back.”

LL made his acting debut in the 1985 movie Krush Groove and would later star in several films such as Deep Blue Sea, In Too Deep, and Any Given Sunday among others. From 1995-99, LL starred in his own NBC sitcom, In the House, starred in the CBS drama NCIS: Los Angeles for ten seasons from 2009-19, and he is the host of the karaoke competition Lip Sync Battle. He released his autobiography I Make My Own Rules in 1998, he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2016, and in 2017, he became the first rapper to be a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors.
