Iron Mic

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

He was the heavyweight king at the age of 21

From the streets of New York where they're all called mean

He never had no mom, never had no dad

His aunt and Constantine D'Amato was all he ever had

But he found his pot of gold consequently came Given's

When they broke up it was him that was givings

And we'd like to build him up, some would like to see him fall

Finally taken down by your hooker by the jaw

I said you gotta set him free x4

When push comes to shove (kick ass) x3

When push comes to shove and we stand him up

All my life seem to been bad man

It was a battle of brains, a battle of wit

So my man got his man skilled Alan Dershowitz

But he left him out to dry, the judge was a fool

Using this case as publicity tool

So it's off to cell to meet the prison staff

The first thing they do they want his autograph

And I just laugh cause he suffered the wrath

Now the man added time to his liberty path

I said you gotta set him free x4

When push comes to shove (kick ass) x4

When push comes to shove and we stand him up

I heard he gets a lot of visits still he's got no family

But he gets a lot of love from the kids in Jodeci

What does he raise our sons kid on our new TV

Same name but you don't look similar to me

But that's another story, I'm gettin' off track

But when he gets out I think you better watch your back

I said now when he gets out I think you better watch your back

You might find yourself kid tagged inside

I say they gotta set him free x4

When push comes to shove (kick ass) x4

When push comes to shove and we stand him up

Kick

Kick

Kick ass x4

I say they gotta set him free x3

I gotta set that mother fucker free

Yeaaaaahhhhh
