Mama said..........

[AVB]

This has been building for a long, long, long time and now I've reached the breaking point. This isn't payback, this is revenge.

Don't call it a comeback
I been here for years
Rockin my peers and puttin’ noobs in fear
Makin’ the tears rain down like a mon-soon
Listen to the bombs go BOOM
Explosion, overpowerin’
Over the competition, I'm towerin’
Wreckin’ shop, when I drop these sticks that'll make you call the cops
Don't you dare stare, you betta 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
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

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 you expect to see call me AVB
Watch me bash this beat like a skull
Cuz you know I had beef with
Why do you riff with me, the maniac psycho
And when I pull out my jammy get ready cuz it might go
BOOM! how ya like me now?
The river will not allow you to get with
AVB don’t mess with
Listen to my gear shift
I'm blastin’, outlastin’
Kinda like Shaft, so you could say I'm shaftin’
Old Scotch filled my mind
And I came up with this funky rhyme

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out


Shadow boxin’ when I heard you on CP now
I just don't know
What made you forget that I was raw?
But now I got a new tour
I'm goin’ insane, startin’ the hurricane, releasin’ pain
Lettin’ you know that you can't gain, I maintain
Unless ya say my name
Rippin, killin’
Diggin’ and drillin’ a hole
Pass the Ol' JW Gold

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

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 got a bomb in my hand
DAAAAAM!!!!!
Listen to the way I slaaaaay, your noob
damage (UHH) damage (UHH) damage (UHH) damage
Destruction, terror, and mayhem
Pass me a noobie, suckas I'll slay him
I'm ready (we're ready!!!)
I think I'm gonna bomb a town (get down!!)
Don't you neva, eva, pull my lever
Cuz I explode
And my humi is easy to load
I gotta thank C-bid
Cuz it gave me the strength to rock HARD!!
Knock you out, mama said knock you out

Go LL Cool J! Word to ya motha!:sign:

 

[MadMonk]

Heh! Somebody gonna flinch?

Nicely rendered, Ray.

 

[NASTY]

Very impressive. Did you strap on your Adidas and dust off your Kangol hat for this one?

 

[AVB]

Your timing is off, Run, Jam Master Jay and D.M.C. hit it big in '85, this is from '90.

[NASTY]

Au contraire, mon frère. I had shelltoe adidas in 1991, maybe it was a re-release but I still had them.

 

[AVB]

Did all the girls laugh at you?

Reminds me of a story. The habit of not tying your sneakers came out of Spanish Harlem in late 1971 AFAIK.and by 1973 it had showed up at the Millington Naval Air Station near Memphis. As the Duty NCO it would be my job to see if the men were properly dressed to represent the Marine Corps out on liberty. Having lived in New York and seen the untied thing first hand I could not understand why a white boy from Steuben Ohio (a real example) would want to emulate Puerto Ricans from New York's Spanish Harlem. So what was your reason?

My reason: I am one, albeit not from Harlem but just a wee bit north :laugh:

The G.O.A.T. Very nice Ray.

 

[tomthirtysix]

Wow... I enjoy the lyrical bombing, but seeing something hip hop coming from Ray took me by surprise. Nicely done.

 

[Bu11dog]

Nice one, I do enjoy the lyrical musings you put together. Someone better keep their hands up and their head down though from the sounds of it.
