Lyrics:
Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin
I came to win, battle me, that's a sin
I won't ever slack up, punk, ya better back up
Try and play the role and yo, the whole crew'll act up
Get up, stand up (c'mon) c'mon, throw your hands up
If ya got the feelin', jump up towards the ceilin'
Muggs let the funk flow, someone's talkin' junk
Yo, I bust him in the eye, and then I'll take the punk's ho
Feelin', funkin', amps in the trunk, and
I got more rhymes than there's cops at a Dunkin'
Donuts shop, sho' nuff, I got props
From the kids on the Hill plus my mom and my pops
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump up, jump up, and get down
jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
(Steady on the left) jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
(Steady on the right) jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
I'll serve your ass like John McEnroe
If your girl steps up, I'm smackin' the ho
Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the Bible's got Psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son, I've returned
Anyone steppin' to me, you'll get burned
'Cause I got lyrics, but you ain't got none
If ya come to battle, bring a shotgun (shotgun)
But if you do, you're a fool, 'cause I duel to the death
Tryin' to step to me, you'll take your last breath
I got the skill, come get your fill
'Cause when I shoot the gift, I shoot to kill
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump up, jump up, and get down
jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
(Steady on the right) jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
(Steady on the right) jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Steady on the right)
I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig 'cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a Terminator, like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Tryin' to play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't goin' out like no pro, bitch
Get used to one style and yo, and I might switch
It up, up and around, then buck, buck ya down
Put out ya head and then ya wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm comin' to get ya, I'm comin' to get ya
Spittin' out lyrics, homie, I'll wet ya
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump up, jump up, and get down
jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
(Steady on the right) jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
(Steady on the right) jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Steady on the right)
jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
(Steady on the right) jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
(Steady on the right) jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Steady on the right)
yo, this is dedicated
(Steady on the right) to Joe "The Biter"
(Steady on the right) Nicolo
(Steady on the right) grab the bozack
(Steady on the right) punk
(Steady on- steady on the right)
(Steady on the right)
(Steady on the right)

I like how you're including songs of the diaspora too 🍀🇺🇲 JUMP!

[@FionanUaMurchadha]

I usually wouldn't, as I personally consider where your raised is where your from although if a yankee comes to me and says "my grandfather was from County Cork" that's fine because you at least probably met them, any further back, the paddy is out of your gene pool. but this is the best song made by the diaspora

@@FionanUaMurchadha L take. Irish is an ethnicity also, not just birth on the isle. Irishness became a global identity through the survivors of famine and genocide who fled to the 4 corners of the earth.
It was an ethnic Irishman born in England who started up the provos - Mac stiofan. And Irish Americans funded the Irish resistance heavily. To turn around to an ethnic Irishman in America and deal him cheek would be beneath an honourable Gael, but not the common one in Erin's isle of today unfortunately.

@@FionanUaMurchadha I'm 2nd generation of full Irish blood/heritage from England, and can vouch have received sub-par behaviour from so called natives from ireland. It doesn't matter if you're 95% like myself or a crumb Irish from Kansas, the same treatment is received and it's frankly divisive and disgusting.

@@bobbirobin2051 yes but there is the ethnicity and Identity, Im fully ethnic on my fathers side dont know about my mothers, i have all of it mapped back to the kings of leinster. Ok perfext example, my great grandfather was born in liverpool to 2 irish parents and moved back when he was 5, am I scouse?
