Mama Said Knock You Out - LL COOL J

Don’t call it a comeback

I been here for years

Rockin' my peers

Puttin' suckers in fear

Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon

Listen to the bass go boom

Explosion, overpowerin'

Over the competition, I’m towerin'

Records shock

When I drop these lyrics

That’ll make you call the cops

Don’t you dare stare

You betta move

Don’t ever compare me to the rest

They’ll all get sliced and diced

Competition’s payin' the price

I’m gonna knock you out

Mama said knock you out

I’m gonna knock you out

Mama said knock you out

I’m gonna knock you out

Mama said knock you out

I’m gonna knock you out

Mama said knock you out

Don’t you call this no 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 Mohammad Ali, they called him Cassius

Watch me bash this beat like a skull

Dontcha know I gotta beef wit'

Why don’t you rip with me, the maniac psycho

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

Blauh!

How do you like me now?

The reverand will not allow

You to get wit' Mr. Smith don’t risk

Listen to my gear shift

I’m blastin', outlastin'

Colors like shaft, so you could say I’m shaftin'

Old English fill my mind and I came up with this funky rhyme

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Shadow boxin' when I heard you on the radio

I just don’t know

What made them forget that I was raw

But now I gotta new toy

I’m going insane

Frontin' the hurricane

Releasin' pain

Lettin' you know

You can’t gain or maintain

Unless you say my name

Rippin'

Killin'

Diggin' and drillin' a hole

Well I’ll pass your goal

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Shotgun blasts are heard

When I rip and kill at will

The man of the hour, tower of power

I will 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

Damnit

Damnit

Damnit

Damnit

Destruction, terror and mayhem

Pass me a … I’ll slay him

Farmers (WHAT)

Farmers (WHAT)

Ready?

(READY)

I think I’m gonna bomb a town

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 this chance to rock

Hard… knock you out

(REPEAT CHORUS)
