Somethin' getting down from the motherfuckin' get go (get go!)

Hands around your neck and

I'm refusing to let go! (I'm refusing to let go!)

I'm like a

Down South - crooked-ass police (crooked-ass police!)

Gettin' me some of everything. -

Down to your show biz! (down to your show biz!)

See? They got me - straight going off,

G! (straight goin' off, G!)

Going buck wild, swinging on a paparazzi! (swingin' on the paparazzi!)

We not done! -

This shit ain't over! (this shit ain't over!)

Cause we're back with a nation of soldiers. (with a nation of soldiers!)

And we havin' it! -

We takin' over, kid! (we takin' over, kid!)

Coming through - with the

Cannabis potent shit! (Cannabis potent shit!)

I'm thinkin': "Oh, no! - We rock the good show! " (we rock the good show!)

Hand over the mic' like

Billy Boddy in a fist show. (like Billy Boddy in a fist show!) [Chorus:] (Bailouts, Wall Street, Cold Wars, Politicians, Quiet Tax) [Chorus 2: B-Real {Sen Dog}] (Bailouts!)

Going down the cross roads, feeling kinda lost no

Way to make it forsaken and taken for a lost soul!

I don't want your sympathy! -

I don't need your hand out!

Never had it planned out, just a cut your man out!

Wars on the newscast! -

Caught it on a news flash!

Heard about a new tax! -

What if I refuse that?

I don't want your promises! -

I don't need your bullshit!

I don't need you telling me the answers at the pulpit!

Setup for the meltdown! -

Hunted by the hellhounds!

Spiders got you spellbound! -

Get up if you fell down!

I don't hate your slick talk! -

I don't seek your point of view!

I'm the fucking thorn your side that keeps annoying you! [Chorus 3: B-Real {Sen Dog}] (Crooked cops!)

We shut 'em down! - (Drug Lords!)

We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} (Higher tax!)

Shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} -

Yeah, we shut 'em down! (False media!)

We shut 'em down! - (A common enemy!)

We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} (Hypocrities!)

We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} -

Yeah, we shut 'em down! [24 seconds guitar solo by Tom Morello] [Chorus 4: B-Real {Sen Dog}] (Politicians!)

We shut 'em down! - (War criminals!)

We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} (This is a fixed show!)

We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} -

Yeah, we shut 'em down! (Corruptions!)

We shut 'em down! - (No surrender!)

We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} (By any means!)

We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} -

Yeah, we shut 'em down! [Chorus 1] [Beat fades out]
