Lyrics Iron Mic - Sugar Ray

He was the heavyweight king at the age of 21
From the streets of New York where they′re all called mean
He never had no mom, he never had no dad
His aunt and Cus Da'mato was all he ever had
But he found his pot of goal, consequently came Givins
And when they broke up, it was him that was given
We like to build them up, but we love to see them fall
Finally taken down by a hooker five feet tall
I said you gotta set him free (x4)
When push comes to shove (x4)
He′ll be standing above
It was a battle of brains, a battle of wit
So my man got his mad skills, Allen Durschwitz
But he left him out to dry, the judge was a fool
Using this case as a publicity tool
So it's off to the cell to meet the prision staff
The first thing they do, they 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)
He'll be standing above
I heard he gets a lot of visits, still he′s got no family
But he gets a lot of love from the kids at Jodeci
What Desiree sucks man on his new TV
Same name bitch, but you look similar to me
But that′s another story, I'm getting off track
Now 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 may find yourself kid tagged and sacked
I say they gotta set him free (x4)
When push comes to shove (x4)
He′ll be standing above
I say they gotta set him free (x3)
We gotta set that motherfucker free
