Jackson Avenue

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



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



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
