So you stayed in last night
And you watched TV
You get the answers right
With such facility
Just like you've learned the script
The whole scenario
But it all gets ripped
Unless you can show

That you can back it up
I hope you can back it up
Oh, that you can back it up
Just tell me you can back it up

You got fists of iron
And an Einstein mind
You always play games
That no one gets
And you're always making claims
Because you're full of shit
Oh, you just don't add up to me
Unless I can find

That you can back it up
I hope that you can back it up
Oh, can you back it up
I hope that you can back it up
Tell me that you can back it up
I hope that you can back it up
Show me you can back it up
Just tell me you can back it up
