[Verse 1]
Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years
Rocking my peers and putting suckers 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
[Chorus]
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
Mama said knock you out
[Verse 2]
Don't you call this a regular jam
I'm gonna rock this land
I'm gonna takе this itty-bitty world by storm
And I'm just getting warm
Just like Muhammad Ali they callеd him Cassius
Watch me bash this beat like a skull
That you know I had beef with
Why do you riff with me, a maniac psycho
And when I pull out my jammy get ready 'cause it might go
BLAOW, 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
[Chorus]
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
Breakdown
[Breakdown]
Yeah
Yeah
Uh
[Verse 3]
Shadowboxing when I heard you on the radio (Uh)
I just don't know
What made you forget that I was raw?
But now I got a new tour
I'm going insane, starting the hurricane, releasing pain
Letting you know that you can't gain, I maintain
Unless you say my name
Ripping, killing
Digging and drilling a hole
Pass the Ol' Gold
[Chorus]
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
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
[Outro]
Don't call it a comeback
Don't call it a comeback
Don't call it a come—
