  • Ah She's an eight ball
    She's a'rollin faster than a white wall
    She's got an avalanche packed into a snowball
    She's a losin' all the links
    She's like a stonewall
    She's loaded up

    She's the underdog
    Gonna take a mighty swipe
    At the high horse
    While'a sippin' on her tricks
    In a pitfall
    Makin' eyes at the girls like bullfrogs
    I'm telling you sir

    She's comin' up from
    Comin' up from comin' up
    Comin' up from behind

    Yeah She's comin' up from
    Comin' up from comin' up
    Comin' up from behind

    You'd like her hanging
    Like a sneaker on a live wire dangling
    While your Wall Street pockets are jangling
    With the hollow jackpot of your rich kid games

    It's a long shot
    She's got a troop and a tongue for a slingshot
    But she's takin' steady aim
    At the big shots
    It's hard to miss the rolling-polies
    On the blacktop
    You better watch your turf

    She's comin' up from
    Comin' up from comin' up
    Comin' up from behind

    Yeah
    She's comin' up from
    Comin' up from comin' up
    Comin' up from behind

    You had her hanging
    Like a sneaker on a live wire dangling
    While your golden-lined pockets were jangling
    With the hollow jackpot of your wretched games

    She caught your sick lie
    It's creepin' in the shadow of your white smile
    Lurking underneath the cover of your bedroom eyes
    Well you're greasin' up the lance for your small-fry

    You wanna talk it up do you?
    Well you're floatin like a royal balloon, oh
    Your ego's swollen to the size of the moon well
    I think you found somebody to cut you down to size
    Well well

    Yeah
    She's comin' up from(She's comin' up from behind)
    Comin' up from comin' up(She's comin' up from behind)

    Comin' up from comin' up(She's comin' up from behind)
