Todd Snider - Iron Mike's Main Man's Last Request Lyrics






Iron Mike's Main Man's Last Request

Hey, little buddy
Don't even worry
Everything is going to be okay
I could have told you
When you started making money
That the world was going to treat you this way
Forget your first wife, she was no good for you
She was a gold-digging bitch and her mom was too

Hey, Iron Mike
Don't let them get you down

Hey, little buddy
Don't look uneasy
You just a-keep your eyes fixed on this fight
If that mean old Don King
Don't give you back all of your money
I say you and I, we go and take it back some night

You're still the champion and everybody knows you are
Come on Iron Mike, let's take the Porsche to the titty bar
Come on champ
Come on champ

All I'm asking for is three hundred dollars
And that's only 'til my brother straightens out
I would do this for you if I could and you needed me to
Ain't that what friendship's all about?

Hey, little buddy
Don't get angry
God, please at least not at me
You know that I am right behind you
All the way
Old compadre
You just say whatever you want to, and I'll agree

Who washed every car in this ten-car garage?
Who caries the boombox in the entourage?
Me, Mike, goddammit
Me

    All love to Todd and Mike.

  2. M.... H....

    I guess this comment thread could be presented as OFFICIAL EVIDENCE that the vast majority of yanks don't "do" sarcasm or irony.... in fact, they struggle to understand the concept or the definition of either word LOL!

  3. d.... ....

    i'm not %100 sure but it does not look much like todd?

  4. F.... ....

    "best friends forever" lol

  5. A.... M....

  7. A.... M....

    why r u hatiing on tyson man , i know ali , frazier nd all were gr888 nd yes tyson was toooo .. no 1 can tell who would win if they fought in thier primes...

  10. 1.... ....

    you're stupid, its not just one left hook it is THE best damn hook in the game, and foreman could beat tyson, hell even LENNOX LEWIS destroyed mike tyson!

    oh and btw, you're body is patheticly skinny, DO U EVEN LIFT BRO?????

  11. 2.... ....

    tyson on his best day would kill joe frazier on his best day. one left hook doesn't beat Tysons whole arsenal. what a stupid fucking comment

  12. l.... ....

    lol, frazier was a weaker Tyson and Ali had so much probs with him. You're crazy. Tyson has a chance to beat anybody in the history of the sport, in his prime. lol@frazier, not only was his left hook not as good as Tyson's, it wasn't as fast, powerful or explosive.

  13. M.... ....

    or noo its just a fan sozxzzzz

  20. J.... C....

    0:07 hey big boy, you're gonna kick ass when you grow up

  21. M.... 6....

    I never meant that comment to relate to that video. I didn't realise it was pedo releated. I will go and watch the videos as you suggested and shall remove my comments from there. I'm actually a really nice guy and am often blasted for being far too soft, I never meant to cause real pain to anyone with my comments but in being a man my pride made me say some truly rancid things. There are no excuses however. Thankyou for accepting my apology, you proved that you truly are a decent man. Take care

  22. M.... 6....

    hahaha, funny guy. It is the only option.

  23. M.... 6....

    Haha thanks buddy. There's always a time for a man to be honest with himself. Glad you were here to witness my one and only moment of truth.

  24. M.... 6....

    ....apology but it's out there anyway. I was in the wrong. I fucked up and said some really dumb shit and I don't blame you for flying off the handle once or twice. Here it is for all to see in black and white though; I'm a lying piece of trash. Not trailer trash though, probably lower than that. I hope you don't write back with abuse but hey, when a guy's angry.....a guy's angry.

  25. M.... 6....

    I didn't threaten your life though. Go and do some research on the subject. You'l find that it's you that's in danger for the comments that you have written to me. I actually might report you, I'll speak with my mate later and see what he thinks I should do about you. Like I said, you're the one who keeps goin on and on about the pedo thing.

  26. M.... 6....

    oh my god. It's like trying to get through to a rock this is. You are the pedo. Please stop forgetting that. Notice you're the one who keeps bringin that subject up? What a weirdo. You keep threatening my life and if I wanted to I could report you to the police. You would be tracked via your I.P. Trust me, the ammount of times you have threatened my life you would be in trouble. My mate's a copper and reckons you could go down for doing just what you've been doin so I'd give it..

  27. M.... 6....

    HAHAHAHAHA same old bullshit ay pal? Usin all those nasty swear words from the safety of the internet. You're pathetic. You think the more you swear the more tough you are? You think you're gunna frighten me with those nasty words? I'm laughing at you. I laugh at every comment you make. You are a joke to me, a total joke.

  28. M.... 6....

    A serious question now, are you actually disbled?? Seriously, do you have some sort of mental bafflment? I simply cannot beleive that you are for real. You are so far behind the script not only are you not on the same page as normal people you arn't even on the same book. You havn't mentioned my ''two fathers'' for a while, you tryin out some new material? It's just as bad.

  29. M.... 6....

    you're the one who was askin for pics of children you sick fuck.

  30. M.... 6....

    See, you can't stop responding. Which means you are my puppet you pathetic piece of shit.

  31. M.... 6....

    Please just stop looking at children. That's all I ask from you, you coward.

  32. M.... 6....

    You just sent me a PM sayin you enjoy fucking your four year old niece. I will write this up here so that everyone can see how sick you are. Leave her alone man. Please, you are going to screw her up for life. I'm being serious.

  33. M.... 6....

    Please leave me alone pedo. I have no time for you.

  34. M.... 6....

    Oh and I think I will have a cup of tea. Thanks for the idea. Might throw in a scon aswell. Tally ho.

  35. M.... 6....

    You silly bastard. Scroll to the message. It's there for all to see. You wrote '' man, I'm tired of earing ''tyson ditched Rooney''. If any of you so called Tyson followers....." to mike649fox who is clearly a Tyson fan. He also wrote the words "tyson ditched Rooney," so forgive me for coming to the conclusion that you were actually talking to him and not chewie2240. You're a bloody idiot.

  36. a.... r....

    good song man well done

  37. c.... ....

    @mike649fox Yeah we have been deprived because another 21 year old with Tyson's talent will probably never come along again and unfortunately Tyson will always be the biggest what if? question in sport. Anyway, good discussion with you, I think we both misunderstood where the other person was coming from at first but I'm glad we could discuss things like adults unlike a couple of other people who commented on this video. All the best mate.

  38. c.... ....

    @mike649fox ......result he never fulfilled his potential. As a Tyson fan that makes me angry because I feel he let us all down. He allowed that clown Don King to ruin his career and set him up fighting stiffs in order to fill his wallet. If Tyson had the determination of Holyfield then he would likely have been the best ever but he didn't so I don't think he deserves all the adulation he gets because he threw it all away. I wish him the best though.

    c.... ....

    chewie2240 I don't know what to say here, other than I love todd snider and appreciate his love for music. as for tyson? Other than Terrible Terry Norris, back when boxing was on prime time, Tyson was my introduction to the sweet science. He brought my family together when his championship fights were on the ppv, lead by none other.. As I've grown, I come to appreciate Mike more as I know he has had a lot on his plate to deal with in life. We all make mistakes. Ear, or no ear. Man, that still kind of bothers me that he felt he had to handle his frustrations in such a way. There's no doubt in my mind that had he'd been perfect, surrounded by perfect.. We all need good leadership.. I always got the feeling Mike never had that

  39. c.... ....

    @mike649fox I know the Tyson story because he's my favourite heavyweight fighter ever, I'm just trying to be as objective as possible. If you are saying that Tyson COULD have been the best ever then it is hard to argue against that because he was very talented and no other boxer has been as good as him at age 21, however, a big part of being an all time great is training hard and having discipline in and out of the ring which Tyson lacked and as a.....

  40. M.... 6....

    @mike649fox fuck u an all then

  41. c.... ....

    @mike649fox I don't hate Mike Tyson, I think he's the most entertaining heavyweight ever, he just is not the best, to say otherwise is moronic. Just look at his record, you cannot defend it. You say he was better before ditching Rooney yet who did he beat who was a top heavyweight in his prime? Nobody. He was a very good boxer with a ton of hype and has a record full of tomato cans, some of whom he even lost to.

  42. c.... ....

    @mike649fox He beat Berbick for the title so yes that was his biggest win genius. Michael Spinks was a light heavyweight whose biggest wins were over a nearly 40 year old Larry Holmes, then Holmes fought Tyson despite having lost his last 2 fights and was only fighting for some extra money as well as being nearly a decade past his best. Tyson then was schooled twice by a 34 year old Holyfield with a heart problem that he nearly had to retire because of. Do you want me to mention Buster Douglas?

  43. M.... 6....

    @chewie2240 you know fuck all you prick.Tyson killed alex stewart in one round. The very same stewart who was kickin the shit outa holyfield before holfied buted him and the fight was stopped on a cut. Tyson was not in his twenties when he fought holyfield either. Seriously, why talk about somethin you know nothing about? People like you should have ther throats cut.

  44. c.... ....

    @Xxnaruto484xX Wow, what a clever response. You must be very intelligent.

  45. G.... N....

    @chewie2240 fuck u bitch

  46. J.... N....

    1:48 mine ear

  47. N.... ....

    Wow!!! Impressive song! GO Todd!

  48. k.... j....

    lol at the song

  49. C.... D....

    he is the BEST ever

  50. m.... ....

    funny as hell, never ever thought i'd hear a country song about tyson

  51. D.... O....

    LOL The Song is EPIC !!

  52. R.... R....

    i love you mike.. your the best for me...

  53. B.... B....

    @nconroy24 sorry Ali would win vs Tyson

  54. S.... ....

    Don King may be a slug, but Mike Tyson was his own worst enemy.

  55. w.... l....

    He is still my best!!

  56. J.... ....

    Todd Snider is a genious..

  57. m.... ....

    @refrath not picking a fight or anythink but ali was perfect example of a real boxer, dont get me wrong tho i reckon mike was brilliant to

    m.... ....

    mattyboy4074 before that, cash was just a kid that had his bike stolen. it drives me crazy thinking that I need to thank a thief for stealing his bike. that guy deserves credit!? wtf

  58. f.... f....

    Mike tyson is my greatest idol, When I think of his hardwork in boxing it makes me push thoose extra pounds in the gym!!! Iron mike you're the greatest !!!!!!!!! bring brutallity back

  59. c.... ....

    Tyson was very entertaining and had a lot of talent but he is no where near being the best ever. He never beat any big names. He lost to Holyfield twice and to Lennox Lewis and his biggest ever win was over an average fighter named Trevor Berbick for the title.

    People can say all they want that Tyson was washed up when he fought Lewis but he was still in his 20's when he fought Holyfield and was schooled twice. His record is filled with wins over tomato cans, just look for yourself.

  60. g.... ....

    @b4mb4m100
    "un like all the other greats who end there career unbeaten"
    Wooow... Thats quite a statment buddy. That alone speaks volume about ur so called boxing knowledge, and unlike is 1 word, not 2. just so u know for next time.

  61. k.... ....

    @b4mb4m100 you're right he did but I tell you this he wouldn't have when Mike was at his peak, Lewis wouldn't have lived with him....Tyson was spent and hitting the booze and stuff long before Lewis got to him

  62. D.... T....

    iron mike tyson hahaha lennox lewis smashed him to bits

  63. d.... ....

    This is awesome.

  64. c.... ....

    Snider is da man

  65. a.... ....

    I feel bad for tyson, Don king Reaily fuck him.. so sad for boxing to see someone who was a great fighter who had so much and was taken for granted by people he trusted..

  66. H.... ....

    iv met tyson

  67. C.... F....

    the song was fine until you ended it with GD!!!!!!!!!!

  68. a.... ....

    12 people that dont like this should suck my balls.

  69. j.... ....

    :) good song

  70. N.... ....

    @dave850 He also got to speak to him many many times. They was in a interview together and Ali said he was scared of mike tyson back in the day. I think Ali was just foolin but it was still funny.

  71. T.... A....

    i used to be like you , until my first kid was born and i researched vaccines with an open mind. I found it very difficult to accept the overwhelming evidence that the government are poisoning babies. I didn't think people could be that evil, but they are. Research 9/11 or 7/7 with an open mind. Pick one thing then join up the dots.Before we had the net conspirocy theories were a conspirocy, now we are talking about evidence and hard facts.

  72. k.... ....

    @gerryboy3699 you sure you don't wanna be friends? jebus.. i'll check your sweet science out, bro. is your signiture punch mirrored in conspiracy theory? ..just in case we go toe to toe? i'll need to know which shoulder to roll. i only weigh about 140, so go easy on me.

  73. T.... A....

    @kidc2004 If your writing songs about Mike Tyson years later then your are definately a mind controlled hero worshipping faggot in denial, and thats a conspiracy fact. And your right you dont know me, but you can watch a few of my fights at heavyweight , youtube"gerryboy box office"

  74. k.... ....

    @gerryboy3699 you don't know me, and i don't know you, but there are many things out in this world that can remind us of what is important.. whether is be the sun, a song, an athlete, or a death of a loved one.. even a conspiracy theory. if you could shape "your" truth.. what would it be shaped like? i bet it differs from mine.

  75. k.... ....

    @gerryboy3699 life is a mixture of both entertainment and education.. among other things. other things like money - tyson, among other athletes, brought in more money than small time conspiracy theorists. or miss cleo. etc.. when we brainwashed humans come home from a day of whatever, we like to sit down and watch something on television that we can enjoy before we go to sleep at night.

  76. K.... K....

    @emperor536 ..dont like country but love this country ha ha

  77. T.... A....

    @KillinItwithPaulCrik It is worship that were told to do. that was the point of my comment.

  78. G.... K....

    I appreciate your feeling on the way the media whips us, but you're missing the point of the song compadre. Its not worship that we're told to do, its believing that underneath what the media turns these people into is someone who had a spark, a heart, a soul that was a little different than everyone else's. I think that is always worth celebrating.

  79. T.... A....

    defo mate, he was an exciting boxer in his day but he became a shambles long ago. All this hero worship of sports and movie "stars" is gay as fuck and our society promotes this worship nonsense all the time. Why? To control us. To make us live our lifes through someone else on tv. To make us care more about Tyson winning or losing than investigating 9/11. Sports and movies have become tools of those in power to distract us from whats important.

    T.... A....

    GerryDoc3699 I'm gonna check out your vids, like you asked. I'm intrigued. Hope it's important, and not gay, or conspiracy minded

  80. O.... F....

    I don't like country music but i like this one...very true shit Mikes been through.

  81. r.... ....

    I like the song

  82. o.... ....

    ha ha ha ha well done ha ha

  83. D.... L....

    Just Respect tho old Champ stupid. who give a dumb about you?

  84. m.... ....

    its just such a sad thing to see him he lost everything becuase of other people. he wasent the smartest person but he had a good heart if you gotten to know his real side besides the life in the boxing ring

  85. H.... ....

    Why what's the matter.. ?

  86. m.... ....

    2:19 really broke my heart... : (

  87. B.... K....

    Come on iron Mike, let's take the Porsche to the titty bar.
    Todd's the best!

  88. J.... H....

    hell no he didnt. she was just another gold digger like robbin was.

  89. e.... ....

    'she was a gold digging bitch and her mom was one too' ...hahahaha just love me some good old country.....

  90. B.... B....

    love this love may Allah bless you mike

  91. R.... ....

    lol i bet this guy wouldnt call mike little buddy in person but great song though

  92. L.... ....

    Young Tyson was FASTER than ALI! As far as stamina, no one trained harder than Tyson during the D'mato era, so tiring out would not be an issue. The only argument you could make for Ali was the jab, but Ali didn't have the power to keep Tyson from charging him and that's where he would have lost. Tyson would have ate the jab and racked Ali with 5 and 6 punch combinations to the kidneys and chin! In other words the Frazier formula x10!

  93. C.... ....

    I disagree Frazier had a head as hard as rock and the fitness of a marthon runner. Every time Tyson took a big hit he lost and everytime his heart and fitness were pushed to the limit he was lacking. Those were Fraziers biggest qualities that are often over looked.

  94. Y.... ....

    i definately believe that between tyson and ali, that tyson would win. I say this based on the fact that tyson was everything that frazier was and more. None the less, it would be a very interesting fight

  95. L.... L....

    Todd Snider is fucking awesome and everyone should listen to his music. He is really down to earth and is a great story teller.

  96. S.... P....

    As for me I'm just a Todd Snider fan, oh & do recall the days they first called him Iron Mike!

  97. t.... ....

    most ruthless motherfucker on the planet a total destroying machine no 1 would have stood a chance b4 king got hold ov him respect mike!!!!!!!!!!!

  98. k.... ....

    the best big Mike

  99. C.... M....

    No, Todd Snider wrote this song, and the guy at the end is definitely not Todd Snider.
