Jump Around
of Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin
I came to win, battle me, that's a sin
I won't ever slack up, punk, you better back up
Try and play the role and yo, the whole crew'll act up
Get up, stand up (c'mon) c'mon, throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling, jump across the ceiling
Muggs lets the funk flow, someone's talking junk
Yo, I bust him in the eye, and then I'll take the punk's ho
Feelin', funkin', amps in the trunk and I got more rhymes
Than there's cops at a Dunkin' Donuts shop
Sho' nuff, I got props
From the kids on the Hill plus my mom and my pops
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around

Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump up, jump up and get down
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump!

I'll serve your ass like John McEnroe
If your girl steps up, I'm smacking a ho
Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the Bible's got Psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me, you'll get burned
'Cause I got lyrics, but you ain't got none
If you come to battle bring a shotgun (shotgun)
But if you do you're a fool, 'cause I duel to the death
Trying to step to me, you'll take your last breath
I got the skill, come get your fill
'Cause when I shoot the gift, I shoot to kill
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around

Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump up, jump up and get down
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump!

I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig 'cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a Terminator, like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Try to play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk bitch
Get used to one style and yo and I might switch
It up, up and around, then buck, buck you down
Put out your head and then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm coming to get ya, I'm coming to get ya
Spitting out lyrics, homie I'll wet ya
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around

Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump around (jump around)
Jump up, jump up and get down
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump!

Мне 47 лет. Я русский. Россия.
От этого хита у меня до сих пор как будто вдохновение и сил прибавляется в миллионы раз. Аж по коже проходит волна энергии!
Томми Бой рекордз.
У меня до сих пор есть старый компакт диск. Были ещё ребята. Lords of Brooklyn. Они тоже с ирландской темой.
Вообще мне очень-очень нравится хип-хоп культура и рэп на американском английском языке.
Что афроамериканцев и белых как эти.
Главное, чтобы был талант. Лирики много и качественной, точной времени и духу. Правдивой. И конечно же музыка должна быть подобной. Которая аж тянет в танец.
Латинский рэп мне вообще не нравится. Они слишком жестокие. И для мигрантов и других латинос.
Они не будут популярны во всём Мире.
Только американский английский язык должен быть у рэп музыки.
Эххх. Сейчас уже нет такого.... Золотая эпоха рэпа прошла. Очень очень жалко.

This song has been around for 30 years. This really stood the test of time. It just never gets old.

@johnkenny6600

Yep. Still kicking to it, and I’m a middle aged Irish man. But this was the shit back in the day!

@xsoggyx73

OMG now I feel really old. 30 years

@Karol_thenightmare_rutkowski

@@johnkenny6600 That's ok, the age doesn't really matter. Just remember that because somebody is quite old and doesn't do things he used to do in his prime means he doesn't have enough energy or motivation for it💪. Cheers.
