Mama Said Knock You Out (MTV Unplugged version)

Don't call it a comeback! Don't call it a comeback! Call it anything, don't call it a comeback! Don't call it a comeback! Don't call it a comeback! [Verse 1] Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years Rocking my peers and putting suckas in fear Making the tears rain down like a monsoon Listen to the bass go boom Explosion, overpowering Over the competition, I'm towering 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 paying the price [Hook:] 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!) [Verse 2] 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 Muhummad Ali they called him Cassius Watch me bash this beat like a skull Cause you know I had beef wit Why do you riff with me, the maniac psycho And when I pull out my jammy get ready cause it might go BLAAAAW, how ya like me now? The ripper will not allow You to get with, Mr. Smith, don't riff Listen to my gear shift I'm blasting, outlasting Kinda like Shaft, so you could say I'm shafting Olde English filled my mind And I came up with a funky rhyme [Hook] 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!)
