Jump Back Lyrics

Now I'm give it to ya straight, gram for gram
Partna, ya see it on the plate
Ya can't fuck with us, with that touch and bust
We got taste and smell, and plenty clientele
I see ya grinnin, how many?
Ten get'cha in, twenty hit'cha pennies
They trapped out, on cigarettes and Remi
Business is business, work with me not against me
Them suckers known to fiend, then let me get me
I put it on 'em point blank
Niggas don't thank shit stank
Born and bred 'til I'm dead, get bank
Believe that! It's natural fact
I keep 'em bustin out the sack, now run and tell that
This for my nitty-gritters, money getters
All them big-lick hitters, and go-getters

We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

Whattaya say Slic Patna (Say!) Can't complain
Everything, everythang, ya know me man
I'm a hustlin young nigga, keep me somethinn to serve
I'm a ridin young nigga, keep me somethin to swerve
Give me a block and I'm a hit the hole
I can get'cha what'cha need, just hit ya folk
At W-W-W dot 'Get you some' dot Com, get you some
I keep 'em runnin back and forth for the pure product
Keep 'em beatin down the do', get it and go
One for this little change, two three mo' for the show
I propose a toast to them cats who put on the most

We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

Whip it, flip it, 'til I see a G stash
Drop a six too soft, for bringing back glass
Talkin 'bout, that fast
See how workin slow roll, but I see the fast cash
Own a fifty pad, of sticky sap
I stay sky-high, I keep the five-five
Jumpin for the high-high
Put the work in the pot, watch it rock-n-roll
Hit the stage, lil' girls keepa pullin my clothes
I'm fresh-fresh y'all, up out the mall
Back' up on the corner talkin Slic to y'all

We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)
Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)
Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)
Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)

Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)
Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)
Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)
Front to back (Uh-huh) Jump back (What'd he say?)

We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

We put the work in the pot, see if it jump back
Put the work on the clock, see if it jump back
Put the work on ya block, see if it jump back
Put this Henn on the dock, and make 'em jump back

Jump back
Jump back jump back
Jump back jump back
Jump jump jump back
Jump jump back
Jump back

1. Backbone is a late-80s hardcore band from Worcester, MA. Their 1995 reunion show led to frontman Aaron Bedard being asked to join Bane.

2. One of the lesser-known affiliates of the rap outfit known as the Dungeon Family. Backbone is based in Atlanta, GA.

Born and bred in the S.W.A.T.S. section of Atlanta, Backbone connected with the other members of the Dungeon Family around 1990. Led by producers Organized Noize and rap crews Outkast and Goodie Mob, the Georgia-based collective ushered in the modern day version of Southern hip-hop with the 1993 release of Outkast's "Player's Ball" single.

Since then, Backbone has worked with Outkast on their third and fourth albums, as well as with Goodie Mob on their second and third releases. He toured with the Mob in support of their Still Standing album in 1998, which took him overseas.

Like much of Goodie Mob's material, Backbone's music focuses on political commentary informed by the experience of being a young black male raised in the racially charged South.

"We being black men from the ages of 16 to 25, most of us don't understand that the game [of life in America] is set up to destroy us, literally," he said. "If you're going to be out in the streets, like they say when you're little, look both ways before you cross so you don't get hit. You've got to respect this game before you get in it. You've got to be cautious and read the street signs. I want to go into the depths of the community and reach the youngest of the Gs. I want them to realize that the game is a set-up and we're losing."


1. Backbone is a short lived band featuring Bill Kreutzmann of the grateful dead. They released one album titled "Backbone" in 1998. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
