Mama Said Knock You Out
Staying strong, being the best at whatever it is you do is always something good bands strive to accomplish and Five Finger Death Punch (5FDP) is one of those bands.
The raw sound from their song "Mama Said Knock You Out" came about from a song written by about LL Cool J in which he won the Grammy award for Best Rap Solo Performance. 5FDP remade the song to show their defiance of having a heavy rock band sing a rap song. This song featured Kansas City Rapper Tech N9ne and released in 2013 and the rest is history.
The Lyrics are very telling and
Don't call it a comeback
I been here for years
Rockin my peers and puttin' suckas in fear
Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon
Listen to the bass go boom!
I been here for years
Rockin my peers and puttin' suckas in fear
Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon
Listen to the bass go boom!
Explosion, overpowerin'
Over the competition, we're towerin'
Wreckin' shop, when I drop
These lyrics that'll make you call the cops
Over the competition, we're towerin'
Wreckin' shop, when I drop
These lyrics that'll make you call the cops
Don't you dare stare, you betta move
Don't ever compare
Us to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
Competition's payin' our price
Don't ever compare
Us to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
Competition's payin' our price
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Shadow boxin' when I heard you on the radio
I just don't know
What made you forget that I was raw?
But now I got a new tour
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 your soul
Lettin' you know that you can't gain, I maintain
Unless ya say my name
Rippin', killin'
Diggin' and drillin' a hole
Pass your soul
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Breakdown!
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Mama said knock you out
