Mama Said Knock You Out

"Mama Said Knock You Out" was a hit single by LL Cool J off of the album from the same name. The song's infamous beginning is "Don't call it a comeback / I've been here for years." Before "Mama Said Knock You Out" was released many people felt that LL Cool J's career was waning; his grandmother, who still believed in his talent, told him to "knock out" all the critics.
