Lyrics
I used to think, that could've never happened here And every year was another zero But now, I'm taking pride that the South Side Has had a bonafide hero Have we overlooked him? Why, on our own scene here We got our very own first-cla**, a**-kickin', up-and-coming South Side celebrity Twenty-four hours from now Ring that new year in With the joyous sounds of fifteen rounds And we're betting on our man to win We all been brought up and taught up in the South Side And no one hеre's ever brokеn free Until this overgrown, unknown Breaks through and turns into a South Side celebrity Yeah, South Side celebrity They got Apollo caps and wind-up toys You diggin' it? We're digging it And selling bumper stickers to the hometown boys Are you digging it? Digging it They're buying into the story, like I knew they would White-knuckled underdog makes good Look, how it makes a neighborhood Patriotic! Yo, Rock! Oh hey, Mr. Gazzo I ain't seen you around I hear you been busy I hear you been doin' real good Hey, I always told you that you would! Now this here's a gift It's a gift, not a loan And after the fight, when your prize money's blown I'll take you back when you go back to being unknown Right after you lose Wrap it in a flag, make the people scream Someone will be getting the American dream! Mr. down-and-out versus Mr. Slick It's gonna be (it's gonna be) Patriotic (patriotic) They keep seeing someone that they wanna see (South Side celebrity) And pinning every little hope on me (twenty-four hours from now) Yeah, they tell themselves, I gotta shot (one of us) They're betting on someone that I'm scared I'm not They're looking for heroes and I'm all they got Gonna fight me a local underdog now A snow-white local underdog I'm gonna play this part, gotta do what I gotta do (do what I gotta do) But where's that game I used to know? Two equals going toe to toe Now it's one big show they wanna see! So there's gonna be (there's gonna be) There's gonna be A South Side celebrity Celebrity...
