LL Cool J - Luv U Better (Instrumental)

"Luv U Better" Instrumental by LL Cool J
Produced by the Neptunes
*Lyrics*
[Intro: Marc Dorsey]
This is for my number one
This is for my number one
This is for my number one
True baby for I adore
[Verse 1]
This is hard to say
I wanna make sure I go about this in the right way
Cuz lately I been busy a lot
And I know you don't feel appreciated and what not
I used to tell you that you're hair looked fly
Kiss you slow and stare in your eyes
Now I talk real foul and slick
Every other sentence is, "You make me sick"
Back in the days I was your number one pick
Now your heart's half-broken and that's hard to fix
I had to dig deep inside myself
Cuz I can't see you bouncin' with somebody else
It's a long journey back to the place we was
When I was too embarrased to admit I was in love
And you was my good girl that wouldn't give it up
I can't let us self-destruct
[Hook: Marc Dorsey]
Baby smile today
Cuz I've been imaging more ways
I'm gon' love you better
When your friends'll see you too
Just when you think there's nothin' else I can do
I'm gon' love you better
[Verse 2]
When I think about the things we did
And I think about you having my kids
And I think about us sharing a crib
Losin' all that, God forbid
You deserve flowers and candy, the simple things
In addition to the SL's, bigets and rings
Instead I walk around like I'm a king
And having you ain't nothing but a thing
I even stopped tellin' you the lovin' was good
Too busy frontin' in the hood
Baby girl, hold me tight don't ever let go
I'ma do it real gentle baby, nice and slow
One more chance baby and don't say no
Cuz I got another side to show
Some say love is painful it helps you grow
Well it's time for the pain to go, ya'know
[Hook]
[Bridge x2]
Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)
Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No)
So let's laugh together, cry together
God willin' we gon' die together
[Verse 3]
It's a brand new me, a brand new you
A brand new day, sky so blue
Hold my hand while I walk with you
Sit on my lap, lemme talk to you
No more games callin' you foul names
Actin' like females is all the same
I'm gon' love you better, my mentality changed
From this day forward I'll never be the same
I'ma rub your lower back, share my dreams
I love you, lemme show you what I mean
Give you the deepest love a girl ever seen
Watch you sleep, so peaceful and serene
A toast to the queen, you're back in my life
But this time I'ma do it right
Trust me, from the bottom of my heart
Nothin's gonna tear us apart, promise
[Hook x2]
[Bridge x2]

This beat resembles very closely a mirrored/reverse "Excuse Me Miss". They both use an identical phaser filter.

facts

excuse me was better tho

They both great on their own merit. Excuse me miss was smoother but this one was a bigge hit.

There is a video of Pharrell talking about Bonita Applebaum and how the song can literally be played in any terrain and still hit. I feel like Q-Tips influence on The Neptunes shines through on this beat because this could be played in so many beautiful scenarios and moments and still hit

[@audiodopebeats]

According to Pharrell's NPR interview, this beat was originally a bridge from another beat that was meant for 2Pac.

wow thats cool.

Great beat, some of the noises in the background were also used in Excuse Me Miss..

[@tuckerbootay3328]

Close but not quite. It's a similar if not the same template to a phaser/ filter combo. I tie these two songs together because of that sound. Good ears you have to hear the resemblance though. It's uncommon in this tone deaf era

Your eyes are like two shining stars, Your skin as smooth as a brand new car, Your hair, it flows in the breeze, I can't help but stop and freeze. You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, You're like a dream that's finally come clean, I can't resist, I must confess, That you've got me under your sweet caress. Chorus: Girl, I want you, I need you, Can't nobody do it like I do, I'll show you love that's true, Cause I can love you better.
