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 Constantine D'Amato was all he ever had
But he found his pot of gold, consequently came Given's
And when they broke up, it was him that was givings
Some we'd like to build him up, but would like to see him fall
Finally taken down by your hooker by the jaw
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free"
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove, and we stand him up
Oh, oh, all my life
My, my, oh, my life
My, my, oh, my life
All my life, seem to been bad, man
It was a battle of brains, a battle of wit
So my man got his man skilled Alan Dershowitz
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 prison 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 "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free"
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove, and we stand him up
I heard he gets a lot of visits, still, he's got no family
But he gets a lotta love from the kids in Jodeci
What does he raise our son's kid on our new TV
Same name, but you don't look similar to me
But that's 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 inside
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free"
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove (kick ass)
When push comes to shove, and we stand him up
Kick, kickin', kickin'
Kick ass
Kickin', kick, kick, kick ass
Kickin', kick, kickin', kick ass
Kick, kick, kick ass
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set him free, free, free"
I said "I gotta set that motherfucker free!"
YEAH!
