(Intro 2: Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac)
When the downy towny towny town rocks to live
Study, stop and keep the top, with a lot to give
Nevertheless I stress that the Double K's are the best
I get so many props they call me Daddypoppadopalis
We ain' to go 'round like chucks
This ain't the playground sound, it's the flavour that makes you JUMP!
Yo Kris, Yo what's up? Right about now, let's tell 'em why we in the house
Let's kick this thing off like, this!
One to the Uhh, Two to the uhh, Three to the uhh
Check it out!

(Verse 1: Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac)
I'm the quicker gripper ripper
On a track like this
The miggity-mac never slacks
And I'm packing the gift
I've got more flavor than Life Savers
Every day I create
Some of the wiggity-slyest rhymes
That you ever heard from one
I ain't the type to be slept on
The type to be crept on
And those who think I am can step on
For every move you make
I got a trick
And my tracks got more kicks
Than a Bruce Lee flick
I like my pants to sag
Make you say
"Dag, uh! That little ... is so bad."
The capital capital K's don't play, we amaze
And make you move & groove
In so many different ways
'Jump! Jump!' was the first episode
To put you in the mode
And let you know I flow

(Hook: Mac Daddy Mac)
Like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that-a-tha-that, a-like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that-a-tha-that, a-like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that-a-tha-that, a-like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that y'all (that y'all)
Like that-a-tha-that, a-like that y'all (that y'all)

(Verse 2: Daddy Mac)
Every everybody wants to know (what?!)
Where I get my get my funky funky flow (Woah!)
Straight from the ghetto and I'm fierce like a dragon
Hat to the back and my pants keep saggin'
Here I go again movin' your adrenaline
Totally totally totally krossed out
Can you comprehend?

(Interlude)
Wait a minute, drop a old school beat
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

(Verse 3: Daddy Mac)
Tupa-tupa girl scooper, that's what I be
Girl-stoppin', ghetto-talkin', it's the mac daddy

(Bridge: Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac)
I got a flow
(You got a what?)
I got a flow (FLOW!)
I got a flow
(You got a what?)
I got a flow (FLOW!)

(Verse 3 continued: Daddy Mac)
On the playground I say now
You won't see me swinging
Skin tight clothes
And you don't be singing
Daddy don't do dat. Dad do rap
So please don't get passed to the whack (LET IT GO!)

(Bridge)
I got a flow
(You got a what?)
I got a flow (FLOW!)
I got a flow
(You got a what?)
I got a flow (FLOW!)
I got a flow
(You got a what?)
I got a flow (FLOW!)
I got a flow
(You got a flow?)
JUST LET IT GO!

(Verse 5: Mac Daddy)
Me bein' the mac means I'm all that
I could do this and that
And none of it ever comes out whack
And never have you ever seen
A MC this size this tough
You might have seen some kids
But they wasn't this rough
I'm the type you don't want to touch
Tangle or tamper with
Your rhymes are doo-doo
Like a two-day-old pampers, kid
So spark off and tie
Catch if I hit the do'
And take your wiggida-whack
Style to the sto'
Yeah...

Kris Kross

Kris Kross was a 1990s chart-topping platinum-certified American rap duo comprised of Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly and Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith.

One day in 1990, pre-teens Smith & Kelly were at an Atlanta mall trying to get an autograph from the short-lived trio Silk Tymes Leather when producer Jermaine Dupri was impressed with the boys' look, so he exchanged phone numbers with them. Dupri then spent two years writing music for the group, teaching them to rap, and trying to land them a record deal.

After being turned down several times, eventually Ruffhouse Records signed the duo after hearing “Lil Boys In Da Hood” because they liked the unique perspective of young rappers talking about the ghetto and gang violence.
