Sugar Ray - Iron Mic lyrics

from the streets of NY where they're all called mean

he never had no mom, never had no dad

his aunt and Cus Da'mato was all he ever had

but he found his pot of gold, consequently came Givins

when they broke up it was him that was given

and we like to build 'em up and we like to see 'em fall

finally taken down by a hooker five feet tall

I said you gotta set him free [x4]

when push comes to shove [x4]

It was a battle of brains, a battle of wit

so my man got his mad skills, Allan Durschwitz

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 is 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 [x4]

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

but he gets alot of love from the kids in Jodeci

what Desiree sucks man on his new TV

same name bitch but you look simular to me

but thats 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 and sacked

I say they gotta set him free [x4]

when push comes to shove [x4]

we gotta set that motherfucker free
