Shut Em Down (Edit)

Hold it, now

Oh

Come on, come on

Huh

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 coming from the lower level

I'm taking tabs, sure, enough stuff for grabs

Like shirts and it hurts, with a neck to wreck

Took a poll 'cause our soul

Took control from the education of a TV station

But look around, here go the sound of a wrecking ball

Boom and pow 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)

Huh

Come on

Alright

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

What I use in the battle for the mind

Hit it hard like you're supposed, pulling off blows to the nose

Like Uncle L said I'm ripping up shows

Then what it is, is only five percent

Of a Benz, I'm addin' woes, that's the way it goes

So you think I rank, I never drink, point blank

I owe loans, suckers got me running from the bank

Civil liberty, I can't see the payoff fee

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

Then become a victim of a lawyer

They'll know you never saw a tape cued

Get me sued playing games with my head

What the judge said, put me in the red

Got me thinking 'bout a trigger to the lead

No, no my educated mind say, suckers gonna pay

Anyway, there gonna be a day 'cause they troop they roll in

Now posse up, hole from the ground, ready to go, throw another round

Stick up the ride, a 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

Hey

Who kept the money in the neighborhood?

But we spending money to no end, looking for a friend

In a war to the core, ripping up the poor in the stores

Until they give up, we'll be kicking down doors

Then I figure, I could get bigger

Look 'em dead in the eye and they wince, defense is pressurized

They don't really want it to be another racial attack

In disguise to give some money back

I like Nike, but wait a minute

The neighborhood supports, so put some money in it

All corporations owe, they've got to give up the dough

To my 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

Oh, get down

Hold it, come on

Wait a minute now

Huh, hey, hey, hey

Yeah, yeah, I know you got soul

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

Bring it low, bring it low, bring it low, y'all
