Right here, right.
(Yep)
When I was a young boy growing in Philly, I
Was sort of easy going, I
Was really a silly I
I used to mess around
I was kind of the class clown
I hate to see you frown
I hate to see people down
âCause I like it when fun flows like a faucet (uh)
But sometimes, some guys mistake it for softness
But I ainât no silly sappy singin softy
When push comes to shove, ya better back up off me
âCause I am 6â2 and I ainât no little guy
200 pounds and homie I can make the heads fly
My father told me never hit nobody first
But if they hit you son (Yeah), take them to a hearse
So throughout my life those are the rules that Iâve lived by
A sucker put his hands on me homie Iâll give a guy
A jab, jab, jab, uppercut, jab
Get âem a steaks slab
And put âem in a cab (Uh)
Now I ainât the type of brother to go out and pick a fight
But man, man I really, really, hate to hear stuff like
Michael Jackson said, "this sorta thing silly manâŚ"
A lover not a fighter, better stay out a Philly man.
Put up your dukes, so you better start boogen
A sick upper punch when you lunchinâ and ainât lookinâ
An mx uppercut, aim for the mouth
Not from the north, or the east, or the west, itâs cominâ
From da south
And Iâm throwing it hard
From da south
Right up under your guard
From da south
An uppercut with all I got
(Watch them drop!)
Put up you dukes; itâs time to get loose troop
101, with me and you, and me and youâre whole crew
You heard about the uppercut is thatâs whatâs wrong fellas
Youâre all chickens and for doers getting jealous
Fail one bang âem
Rumble and all bugginâ
All different names but all the same bugginâ
Maybe you can take me out, yeah maybe not
âCause fly into the uppercut (Here they come) and hear youâre body shout
Boom shakala laka Boom shaka laka Boom!
Look out
Itâs coming at you like a Kodak zoom
No, my name ainât Roberta, donât be giving me flak
And if you step off track, Jack,
Youâre taking a turn, nap
A muscle bound sucker, mean jack to Will
When I walk on by better be glad I chill
But if yâall forfeit and I feel friction
The landlord is givinâ ya teeth dental piction
Xâs over eyes and birds around ya heads, flyinâ
Limp all back
Look like I hit you with a bat
Eyes so black (diggy, diggy)
Look like ya must a got em painted
Damn!
That uppercutâs a mother ainât it
Step in the ring
With the king
And you take a chance
âCause 20 seconds later yâall be out in a ambulance
Lookin pathetic
As you wrestle paramedic
Whatâs up?
Felt like a truck
But it was only an uppercut
Jus last week some fool got careless (Yeah)
So I got triflinâ
Went right for the bare fist
After the punch the young man didnât want a fight
I missed his face
But I busted the stoplight
So put up youâre dukes, so you better start bookinâ
A sick upperpunch
When you munchinâ
And ainât lookinâ
An mx uppercut aim for your mouth
Not from the north, or the east, or the west, itâs cominâ
From da south
And Iâm throwin' it hard
From da south
Right up under youâre guard
From da south
And uppercut with all I got
(Watch them drop!)
Yeah
Word
(There you go)
Come, come come onâŚ.
