From Da South Lyrics - Singles - Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Right here, right. 

(Yep) 

When I was a young boy growing in Philly, I 

Was sort of easy going, I 

Was really a silly I 

I used to mess around 

I was kind of the class clown 

I hate to see you frown 

I hate to see people down 

Cause I like it when fun flows like a faucet (uh) 

But sometimes, some guys mistake it for softness 

But I ain't no silly sappy singin softy 

When push comes to shove, ya better back up off me 

Cause I am 6'2 and I ain't no little guy 

200 pounds and homie I can make the heads fly 

My father told me never hit nobody first 

But if they hit you son (Yeah), take them to a hearse 

So throughout my life those are the rules that I've lived by 

A sucker put his hands on me homie I'll give a guy 

A jab, jab, jab, uppercut, jab 

Get 'em a steaks slab 

And put 'em in a cab (Uh) 

Now I ain't the type of brother to go out and pick a fight 

But man, man I really, really, hate to hear stuff like 

Michael Jackson said, "this sorta thing silly manâ?¦" 

A lover not a fighter, better stay out a Philly man. 

Put up your dukes, so you better start boogen 

A sick upper punch when you lunchin' and ain't lookin' 

An mx uppercut, aim for the mouth 

Not from the north, or the east, or the west, it's comin' 

From da south 

And I'm throwing it hard 

From da south 

Right up under your guard 

From da south 

An uppercut with all I got 

(Watch them drop!) 

Put up you dukes; it's time to get loose troop 

101, with me and you, and me and you're whole crew 

You heard about the uppercut is that's what''s wrong fellas 

You're all chickens and for doers getting jealous 

Fail one bang 'em 

Rumble and all buggin' 

All different names but all the same buggin' 

Maybe you can take me out, yeah maybe not 

''Cause fly into the uppercut (Here they come) and hear you're body shout 

Boom shakala laka Boom shaka laka Boom! 

Look out 

It's coming at you like a Kodak zoom 

No, my name ain't Roberta, don't be giving me flak 

And if you step off track, Jack, 

Youâ??re taking a turn, nap 

A muscle bound sucker, mean jack to Will 

When I walk on by better be glad I chill 

But if yâ??all forfeit and I feel friction 

The landlord is givinâ?? ya teeth dental piction 

Xâ??s over eyes and birds around ya heads, flyinâ?? 

Limp all back 

Look like I hit you with a bat 

Eyes so black (diggy, diggy) 

Look like ya must a got em painted 

Damn! 

That uppercutâ??s a mother ainâ??t it 

Step in the ring 

With the king 

And you take a chance 

â??Cause 20 seconds later yâ??all be out in a ambulance 

Lookin pathetic 

As you wrestle paramedic 

Whatâ??s up? 

Felt like a truck 

But it was only an uppercut 

Jus last week some fool got careless (Yeah) 

So I got triflinâ?? 

Went right for the bare fist 

After the punch the young man didnâ??t want a fight 

I missed his face 

But I busted the stoplight 

So put up youâ??re dukes, so you better start bookinâ?? 

A sick upperpunch 

When you munchinâ?? 

And ainâ??t lookinâ?? 

An mx uppercut aim for your mouth 

Not from the north, or the east, or the west, itâ??s cominâ?? 

From da south 

And Iâ??m throwin' it hard 

From da south 

Right up under youâ??re guard 

From da south 

And uppercut with all I got 

(Watch them drop!) 

Yeah 

Word 

(There you go) 

Come, come come onâ?¦.
