Shut Em Down

Hold it now, oh

Come on, come on

Alright y'all

I testified my mama cried

Black people died when the other man lied

See the TV listen to me double trouble

I overhaul and I'm comin' from the lower level

I'm takin' tabs 'sho 'nuff stuff to grab

Like shirts it hurts 'wit a neck to wreck

Took a poll 'cause our soul took a toll

From the education of a TV station

But look around hear go the sound of the wreckin' ball

Boom and pound when I shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

Come on, alright

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

What I use in the battle for the mind hit it hard

Like it supposed pullin' no blows to the nose

Like Uncle L said I'm rippin' up shows

Then what it is only five percent of the biz

I'm addin' woes that's how da way it goes

Then you think I rank never drank, point blank

I own loans, suckers got me runnin' from the bank

Civil liberty I can't see to pay a fee

I never saw a way to pay a sap to read the law

Then become a victim of a lawyer

Don't know ya, never saw ya tape cued

Gettin' me sued playin' games wit' my head

What the judge said put me in the red

Got me thinkin' 'bout a trigger to the lead

No no, my education mind say suckers gonna pay anyway

There gonna be a day 'cause the troop they roll in

To posse up whole from the ground ready to go

Throw another round sick of the ride it's suicide

For the other side of town when I find a way to shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

Hold it, come on

Alright y'all, alright y'all

Come on now

Who count the money in da neighborhood

But we spendin' money to no end

Lookin' for a friend in a war to the core

Rippin' up the poor in da stores

Till they get a brother kickin' down doors

Then I figure I kick it bigger

Look 'em dead in the eye

And they wince defense is pressurized

They don't want it to be another racial attack

In disguise so give some money back

I like Nike but wait a minute

The neighborhood supports so put some money in it

Corporations owe dye gotta give up the dough

To da town or else we gotta shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

I shut 'em down

Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down

Alright y'all one more time here we go again

Alright come on, take it down, hold it come on

Wait a minute now, hey, hey, hey

Yeah yeah, we got to take it slow

Pump the beat, pump the beat, pump the beat y'all

Oh, bring it low, bring it low, bring it low y'all
