Shut 'Em Down
Lyricist:Carlton Ridenhour, Gary Rinaldo, Hank Shocklee
Hold it now, yeah Another rock remix check it out Yeah, check it out, P.E. Get funky
I testify, my mama cried Black people died when the other man lied See the TV, listen to me double trouble I overhaul an' I'm comin' from the lower level
I'm takin' tabs, sho' nuff stuff to grab Like shirts an' 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 Here go the sound of the wreckin' ball Boom an' pound When I shut 'em down
I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 What I use in the battle for the mind I 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 5 percent of a biz I'm addin' woes, that's da way it goes Then you think I rank, I 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com ‽No, no,†my educated 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, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down
I wreck for respect , check one, hit the deck Wit the man of the hour, commit the soul power For once I got to say shut 'em down on the regular Causing mass hysteria in your area
Kickin' it for my man Chuck D, down wit P.E. On the remix, hung on the flix So check it, before I step down, when I'm in your town You know I got to shut 'em down
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 Until they get a brother kickin' down doors
Then I figure, I kick it bigger, look 'em dead In the eye an' 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 The corporations owe, they gotta give up the dough To da town or else we gotta shut 'em down
I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down I shut 'em down, I shut 'em down
