Mama Said Knock You Out

C'mon man

And with the local DDC news, LL Cool J with a triumphant comeback

But tonight...

Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years

I'm rockin' my peers, puttin' suckers in fear

Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon

Listen to the bass go boom

Explosions, overpowerin'

Over the competition, I'm towerin'

Wrecking shop, when I drop

These lyrics that'll make you call the cops

Don't you dare stare

You better move, don't ever compare

Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced

Competition's payin' the price

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

Don't you call this a regular jam

I'm gonna rock this land

I'm gonna take this itty-bitty world by storm

And I'm just getting warm

Just like Muhammad Ali, they called him Cassius

Watch me bash this beat like a skull

Don'tcha know I had beef wit'

Why do you riff with me, a maniac psycho

And when I pull out my jammy, get ready 'cause it might go

Blauh! How ya like me now?

The ripper will not allow

You to get wit' Mr. Smith don't riff

Listen to my gear shift

I'm blastin', outlastin'

Kinda like shaft, so you could say I'm shaftin'

Olde English filled my mind

And I came up with a funky rhyme

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

Breakdown

Gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie

Gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie

Gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie

Gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie

Gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie

Gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie

Gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie

Gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie

Shadow boxin' when I heard you on the radio

Uuh, I just don't know

What made you forget that I was raw?

But now I gotta new tour

I'm going insane startin' a hurricane, releasin' pain

Lettin' you know, you can't gain or maintain

Unless you say my name

Rippin', killin', diggin' and drillin' a hole

Pass the Ol' Gold

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

Shotgun blasts are heard

When I rip and kill, at will

The man of the hour, tower of power, I'll devour

I'm gonna tie you up and let you understand

That I'm not your average man

When I gotta jammy in my hand

Damn, ooh

Listen to the way I slay, your crew

Damage (Uhh), damage (Uhh), damage (Uhh), damage

Destruction, terror and mayhem

Pass me a sissy, so suckas I'll slay him

Farmers (What), farmers (What?)

I'm ready! (We're ready)

I think I'm gonna bomb a town (Get down)

Don't you never, ever, pull my lever

'Cause I explode

And my nine is easy to load

I gotta thank God

'Cause he gave me the strength to rock, hard

Knock you out, mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)

I'm gonna knock you out (Huuh)

Mama said knock you out (Huuh)
