Sir Mix-A-Lot - Iron Man Lyrics
[background is Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," performed by the group Metal Church]
[chanting]
[Verse 1]
You could strike a match in my hand
Bust my knuckles in a junkyard scuffle
Whippin' adversaries with a brass belt buckle
Born in the ghetto, hard like metal
Got a '87 'vette with a fat gas petal
Live a hard life, shave with a knife
Love to get freaky on the gloomiest nights
[Chorus]
I got childhood scars in the streets of my life
Girls laughed, now they beggin' to be Mix-A-Lot's wife
Got eyes like fire, with my boys at my back
Now I'm back for revenge, all the rumors must end
Freaky breathin' is out, bold music is in
I lot of dummies gettin' money, just by clappin' their hands
Not the style or desire of a true Iron Man
(You know what I wanna hear)
[Verse 2]
A southside broola don't drink coolers
Big money maker, not a dumb drug user
It's real not drama, hate pet llamas
Met Clint Eastwood, slapped his momma
Billboard thriller, Avenue chiller
Hard rock lover, and soft rock killer
Girls in the house, watch your blouse
I'm the man your momma was warnin' you about
The bad boy of rap, givin' no slack
Talk behind my back, and you might get slapped
You might get paid, but your metal ain't real
Your rock's like mush, this rock's like steel
[Chorus]
(uh, everybody now, [chanting])
[Verse 3]
A big ego crushin', MC's fussin'
More lines in my face than a sunburn rushin'
Hardly ever speakin', girl's be tweakin'
Buggin' off the drums, cause the snare be peakin'
World's most hated, too bad to be rated
Makin' you mad and I'm elated
Beats sickapater, your bad I'm greater
Tougher than Schwarzenegger in "Terminator"
Guitar cord ripper, Perrier sipper
Transform scratchin' and not a needle skipper
Flesh like steel, MC's kneel
Mickey D's Shrimp Salad not part a my meal
Heavy drum hitter, can't stand kidders
Hate boss metal and I'm not a bullshitter
Girlies wanna kiss, suckers throw a fist
A lot of rappers try to rap, but it ain't like this
[Sir Mix-A-Lot talking]
Ha haha ha, the true Iron Man of rap droppin' this big metal hammer
[voice yelling over Sir Mix-A-Lot]
Now that's true metal, posse up, yeah

Sir Mix-A-Lot Iron Man Comments
The first mashup was invented by sir mix a lot apperantly. Hahaha. Great style
Mickey D's had a shrimp salad wtf?
To be from Seattle and making this sound in the 80's, this guy was ahead of his time. Props !
He made us folks from Seatown proud. This is when rap was all about NYC, LA, and Oaktown.
Still doing things old school remembering what it was like to be younger. Life is still decent. Iron Man is the way to go.
His dancers always killed me. Especially on "My Hooptie" video.
That’s a jam. Fer shizzle.

Used to listen to this on a tape that had a mix of rap songs. Believe it was On The Rap Tip.
I am hugely disappointed by the lack of Metal Church in the suggestions to the side of this video
I had a VCR tape with this video, followed by the Diceman Cometh. Damn I miss the 80s.
that transform scratch at the beginning is still sick
OSHA wld have a fit with all them missing safety glasses
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Luv this
Metal Church!!
Marvel Should've Put This In A Iron Man Movie By NOW If They Haven't Already😒(Sir Mix A LOT Go HARD When It Comes 2 Rhyming😎Along Wit Making
Good😊Songs)
I so wanted to get a welder's mask after seeing this video the first time as a kid.
2019 and this is still the fucking shit
Sorry to say but iron man died
Beavis and Butt-Head's dream come true!
damn i miss this kinda rap
For real tho 👌🏾
Omg the drums are so bad
JSharpe427 i mean, really really bad
Fredrik Svärd oh..I know bad is also slang for great.
I'm guessing it's a drum machine.
He should of use a real drum set.. Love the bass though..
RUN DMC - Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good! 😉
Mix dancers were always weak!
Check out the girls in One time got no case!
@The Magnificent Seven! Put em on the glass
Hard to find good dancers in SeaTac.
Used to stay up late on Saturday's hoping this video would play on yo mtv raps!
@roberto bravo I don't remember Yo! getting Saturday nights since they had right after school (3-5?) Monday-Friday and metalheads only got 3 hours of some not really metal videos once a week. I put partial blame on MTV for why rap (hip-hop) is huge and metal is still semi-underground. Opposite is true in Europe, South America, and Japan.
@P A I remember Yo! MTV Raps! Coming on between 3pm to 5pm before they replaced it with TRL.. Yo! MTV Raps came on at the same time as BET's Rap City that also stayed on 3pm to 5 pm after school as well..
@P A Metal was huge in the 1980s and MTV didn't wanna play rap at first! So no! Metal slowed itself down cause of the Artists not making music like they supposed to.. bands were breaking up and new bands started to have issues before the first album drops.. You can't blame that one on Rap music and MTV..
@Kenrick Eason metal was never huge and MTV liked posers (like the VJ's they had host Headbangers Ball), but not metal. They'd play hair bands all day and toss some in the Headbangers Ball (you can't head bang to Winger). Saturday night at midnight wasn't prime viewing for metalheads. Most of us were out partying. Mon-Fri from 3 to 5 was prime viewing time and MTV pushed rap. It's true that MTV was anti rap before Run-Dmc got together with Aerosmith but MTV loved Fresh Prince, TLC, Salt N Peppa, etc...
Look at the metal bands putting albums out 87-95. Slayer, OverKill, Anthrax, Kreator...tons of good metal pre 2000's.
Why'd you leave Metal Church out of the title? Fucking corporate shits.
Because metal church sucked
@therick6661 BOY
Metal church deserve their dues!
The guitarist looks a little like macho Man Randy savage
this is a heck of a lot different than my cassette sadly
Same song as on my cassette. Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?
@Rob Simpson It's definitely mixed different. Video version vs Album version. very common back in teh day.
watch?v=RXfaXDtlq1s
@DoomTrain I know that, like the Sir-Mix-A-Lot song My Hooptie - way better video music than the album the same with BDP You Must Learn song, but some Cassettes have different versions. My Cassette version is the exact same as this video. Maybe it's because I had purchased it in Canada, at the time when I was living there because of my Dads military job.
@DoomTrain 👍
@Rob Simpson Yeah, Sir Mix Alot singles had a TON of different versions. I seen a Baby Got Back CD Single, that I'm pretty sure had like 20 tracks on it.
fav song
Tougher than Schwarzenegger in Terminator
Met Clint Eastwood, slapped his momma.
SIR MIX A LOT
BEFORE BABY GOT BACK = UNDERRATED
AFTER BABY GOT BACK= OVERRATED!
