Uptown, on the block where I come from We got nothing but love Where ya'll at put your hands in the air And get on up now Shout out all my girls round the way And the good times back in the day On Jackson avenue
Back in the day On the block we'd be playing handball Till the street lights came on Planet rock on the radio Phat laces and shell toes Kool Moe Dee and Krs -1 They had us bouncing like Abcandlmnop cause I want you Supersonic motivating rhymes on the corner South Bronx, south Bronx
Uptown on the block where I come from We got nothing but love Where ya'll at put your hands in the air And get on up now Shout out all my girls round the way And the good times back in the day On Jackson Avenue
B-Boys round the way they be calling our names Trying to get us to freak in the hall Meanwhile my girls keep it fly Our sergios creased and tight You know we don't give em no play at all But they keep sayin' sayin' Que tu quiere Mami let me know cause I want you Pops is working late so do you want to come over Then its' never too much Never too much Playing all night long
Uptown, on the block where I come from We got nothing but love Where ya'll at Put your hands in the air and get on up now Shout out all my girls round the way And the good times back in the day On Jackson avenue
I remember the day This crew called Rock steady would play Red alert would spend them old 45's And all the crews would come down From the other side of town Just to hear the MC roc the mic right They say it to you All the people on the side let me see you slide All the people in the middle let me see you wiggle All the people up top let me see you rock Everybody in da house say whoooa, whoa
