DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson Lyrics
2
Hey...hey Leroy...Leroy yeah did you hear about that boy Mike Tyson?
3
Mike...Mike Tyson he's the boy that played football from Montreal ain't he?
4
No no you old coop, he a...he a boxer man yeah let me tell ya I went to his fight a couple months ago.
5
I seen him hit this boy, and he hit the boy so hard his head flew off into the eighteenth row (laughing) they had to get his head out of the eighteenth row
6
[Prince & Jeff] I was in Jeff's crib one night about eight and we were watchin'a couple of Mike Tyson fight tapes Jeff was like... man, you see how hard Mike's punchin'?
7
Come on Jeff the other guy was just lungin'
8
Left, right, left, right, another K.O. if that was me I'd a been ok though
9
The very next day I gave Russell a ring with J.L. and Omar we all called Don King
10
I said 'yeah, Don I got a problem
11
Tell 'em Prince 'yeah what's up? what you sayin? you tryin' to solve 'em?'
12
'forget the small talk let's get to the nitty gritty' 'me and Mike, two months, Trump, Atlantic City'
13
Yo, you got this you gonna bust dude up
14
Yeah, you can be my trainer word up?
15
I'm rough like a freight train smooth like ice and yo Jeff, straight up, I think I can Mike Tyson
16
Man, you can beat him, you can beat him yo man, word up yo I put on a couple of pounds man we can do this you can do it
17
[Newspaper boy:] extra, extra read all about it Fresh Prince challenges Iron Mike Tyson to a fight (laughing) ah he's crazy
18
Ain't that the boy who knocked the guy's head in the fifthteen row?
19
Hey Leroy, you read the paper? that boy done lost his mind
20
[Prince, Barber] there was press conference to see what training I was doing
21
Before then I had never heard reporters booing
22
Cameras flashing I was in the middle
23
I didn't wanna look dumb so I exagerrated a little
24
I said uh I been training 2o hours a day lifting big old cars and big bails of hay (that's what he's doin')
25
And I run 10,000 miles every morning thinkin' about Mike and my moment of glory (tell 'em more)
26
I drink water 20 gallons a pop and I can throw a Volkswagon a whole half block (he can do it too)
27
And 4 million sit ups...in a minute.... ..I ain't lying I did it (he done it)
28
The general public thought I was a fool
29
I was gettin' dissed but I guess that was cool
30
Well gettin' dissed is never good
31
But I was even gettin' dissed in my old neighborhood
32
I was at the corner at the top of my block there was a couple of people standing outside of the barber shop
33
It was Larwence, my barber, and Franny he yelled out hey, Prince, you can win!
34
I said 'really?' and I stopped to chat
35
You could beat him man, if you hit him wit a bat ha ha...you gon' get whipped but can I have your shoes when he break your neck?
36
Everybody was laughin' out loud I thought at least my own Grandma would be proud
37
I went to her house and snuck in to surprise her I heard her on the phone (a thousand bucks on Tyson)
38
[Prince, Ring Announcer] it's fight day and man am I hyped boy I can't wait to see Mike
39
Boy I'm hyped ready to be my thing Trump Castle Casino
40
In this corner...weighing in at a mere 165 pounds, the Lighting Rodent, the Fresh Prince! (booing)
41
And in this corner... the heavyweight champion of the world... Iron Mike Tyson (cheering)
42
I came out hustling sliding and grabbing slippin' and dippin' hustlin' and jabbin'
43
For a second I looked good out there but then Mike brought to reality my worst nightmare
44
One punch, that's all it took (oooh) he hit me in my ribs and my insides shook
45
Now how can I say this and be a little discreet let's just say that my bowels released
46
I called timeout and went back to my corner
47
Said to my coach 'ain't no way I'm goin' the hell back out there, man you can't forget it'
48
My body's like a punchin' bag and Mike is gonna (hit it)
49
They tried to make me go meet my doom but I sucker punched my coach and hauled to my dressing room
50
The next day the headline in the town 'Fresh Prince breaks camp, Tyson wins first round'
51
Some fool asked why I ran away I said 'a good run is better than a bad stand anyday'
52
My career is over as far as fightin' but I don't know what made me think I can beat Mike Tyson
53
2 old men: hey Leroy! yeah did you see the fight?
54
Did you see the fight?
55
The..the..the football player?
56
No the boxer, come on man I was at the fight last night I paid four hundred and seventy fo' thousand dollars for my ticket right... ah, you weren't at no fight I seen you around here last night ..and the boy..the boy ran out the ring you always lying I ain't lying... you lie to your grandkids.. ..I seen it... ...you been lying ever since you was a little kid ...Mike Tyson punched the boy in his ribs, and his leg fell off his leg fell off and it fell over... ...you always lying ...and it knocked the HBO cameraman's camera fell out his hand I said, god damn, I couldn't beleive it Leroy you shoulda been there...you definetly shoulda been there ...I was right next to you playin' checkers
