Lyrics

Booyaka, down goes the other man
I stand with bloody ass hands like Redman
Cause I just choked another, called me in, provoked a brother
So I flipped the script like Danny Glover
The other day, chillin' on the lines of unemployment
I feel like flippin' and killin' devils for enjoyment
My madness started at the age of twelve
When devil's burned down my house like we was livin' in Hell
It ain't hard to tell like Nas, I'm in a rage
This planet is a cage, I'ma bust like a twelve-gauge
From pressure and stress isn't somethin' that can't be forgiven
Is it a dream or a dream that we be livin'?
Booyaka, booyaka, down goes the devil
Down goes the dev—down, down goes the devil
Booyaka, booyaka, down goes the devil
Down goes the dev—down, down goes the devil
Puttin' my head to bed, better yet I rest my dreads
Thinkin' about these devils and how they got me fed
Up, it's time to gun buck with my shots
Any questions for my attitude I just say, "Why not?"
They've been fuckin; us, and they've been crushin' us
Who stole two-hundred million from accountin'? It wasn't us
Four-hundred years of murdery and pillage
Is why you get my middle finger walkin' through the village
Why increase the peace while the beast increase the pressure?
I'm tired of the lecture, the speech is gettin' trifle
Brothers killin' brothers, time to redirect the rifle
To the one who was born in the mountain of the Caucus
Now you stalk us, walk us in the malls of Secaucus, devil's trickery
Fuck the bickery with the west
The devil's got the hollow points pointed for my chest
Down goes the dev—down, down goes the devil
Booyaka, booyaka, down goes the devil
Down goes the dev—down, down goes the devil
Booyaka, booyaka, down goes the devil
Down goes the dev—down, down goes the devil
Booyaka, booyaka, down goes the devil
I walk around maintainin', not to be a rebel
But everywhere I look I go there's another devil
He plays a roll like you're down, faker than an actor
Before he gets to me, I'm trackin' down a damn cracker
I got mad stress, I can't take it no more
Day after day, devils follow me through the stores
Like my pores is sweatin' me and upsettin' me
I don't steal, but I wet ya, G, just for testin' me
I always be lookin' in the mirror of my Land Rover
See uh, the overseer pulls me over
Just 'cause I got a Jeep with a phat system
Put down your gun, we can toe to toe, mister
He thought he was slick like breeze the devil pulled his piece
You figure, he didn't know I was quicker
Nonstop shots for Rodney King, that's a given
Is it a dream or a dream we been livin'?
Booyaka, booyaka, down goes the devil
Down goes the dev—down, down goes the devil
Booyaka, booyaka, down goes the devil
Down goes the dev—down, down goes the devil
