DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson (Album Version)

Hey hey Leroy Leroy
Yeah
Did you hear about
that boy Mike Tyson
Mike Mike Tyson he's the boy
That played football from
Montreal ain't he
No no you old coot
he a he a boxer man
Yeah
Let me tell ya
I went to his fight
a couple months ago
I seen him hit this boy
and he hit the boy so hard
His head flew off
into the eigtheenth row
They had to get his head
out of the eighteenth row
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'
Come on Jeff the other
guy was just lungin'
Left right left right
another K.O.
If that was me
I'd a been okay though
The very next day
I gave Russell a ring
With J.L. and Lyor
we all called Don King
I said Yeah
Don I got a problem
Tell 'em Prince
Yeah what's up
what you sayin
You tryin' to solve 'em
Forget the small talk
let's get to the nitty gritty'
Me and Mike two months
Trump Atlantic City
Yo you got this you

Yeah you can be my trainer
Word up
I'm rough like a freight train
smooth like ice
And yo Jeff straight up
I think I can beat Mike Tyson
Man 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
Extra extra read all about it
Get this
Fresh Prince challenges
Iron Mike Tyson to a fight
He's crazy
Ain't that the boy
who knocked the guy's
head in the fifteenth row
Hey Leroy
you read the paper
That boy done lost his mind
There was press conference
to see what trainin' I was doing
Before then I had never
heard reporters booing
Cameras flashing
I was in the middle
I didn't wanna look dumb
so I exagerrated a little
I said Uh I been trainin'
twenty hours a day
Liftin' big old cars and
big bails of hay
And I jog 10000 miles
every morning
Thinkin' about Mike and
my moment of glory
I drink water
20 gallons a pop
And I can throw a Volkswagon
a whole half block
And 4 million sit ups in a minute
I ain't lyin' I did it
The general public
thought I was a fool
I was gettin' dissed
but I guess that was cool
Well gettin' dissed
is never good
But I was even gettin' dissed
in my old neighborhood
I was at the corner
at the top of my block
There was a couple of
people standin' outside of
the barber shop
It was Lawrence
my barber and friend
And he yelled out
Hey Prince you can win
I said really
and I stopped to chat
You could beat him man
if you hit him wit a bat
Ha ha you gon' get wrecked
But can I have your shoes
when he break your neck
Everybody was laughin' out loud
I thought at least my own
Grandma would be proud
I went to her house and
snuck in to surpise her
I heard her on the phone
A thousand bucks on Tyson
It's fight day
and man am I hyped
Woah I can't wait to see Mike
Boy I'm hyped
ready to do my thing
Trump Castle Casino
In this corner weighin'
in at a mere 165 pounds
The Lightin' Rodent
the Fresh Prince
And in this corner
The heavyweight champion
of the world
Iron Mike Tyson
I came out hustling
slidin' and grabbing
Slippin' and dippin'
hustlin' and jabbin'
For a second I looked
good out there
But then Mike brought to
reality my worst nightmare
One punch
that's all it took
oooh
He hit me in my ribs
and my insides shook
Now how can I say this
and be a little discreet
Let's just say that
my bowels released
I called timeout and
went back to my corner
Said to my coach
Ain't no way I'm goin'
The hell back out there
man you can't forget it
My body's like a punchin'
bag and Mike is gonna
Hit it
They tried to make me
go meet my doom
But I sucker punched
my coach and hauled
to my dressin' room
The next day the headline
in the town
Fresh Prince breaks camp
Tyson wins first round
Some fool asked
why I ran away
I said A good run
is better than a bad
stand any day
My career is over
as far as fightin'
But I don't know
what made me
think I can beat Mike Tyson
Hey Leroy
Yeah
Did you see the fight
did you see the fight
The the the football player
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
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
Mike Tyson punched
the boy in his ribs
and his leg fell off
His leg fell off and it fell over
and it knocked the HBO
camerman's camera
fell out his hand
I said god damn
I couldn't beleive it Leroy
You shoulda been there
