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
