Shut Em Down

[00:02.01] Hold it, now
[00:07.46] Come on, come on
[00:09.00]
[00:18.26] All right, y'all
[00:19.04]
[00:23.66] I testified, my mama cried
[00:26.26] Black people died when the other man lied
[00:29.18] See the TV, listen to me, double trouble
[00:31.23] I overhaul and I'm coming from the lower level
[00:33.83] I'm taking tabs, sure enough, stuff to grab
[00:36.74] Like shirts and it hurts with a neck to wreck
[00:39.59] Took a poll 'cause our soul took a toll
[00:41.94] From the education of a TV station
[00:44.70] But look around, here go the sound of the wrecking ball
[00:47.83] Boom and pound when I shut 'em down
[00:49.83] I shut 'em down
[00:50.78] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[00:52.58] I shut 'em down
[00:53.36] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[00:55.20] I shut 'em down
[00:56.04] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[00:57.98] I shut 'em down
[00:58.77] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[01:00.65] I shut 'em down
[01:01.33] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[01:03.26] I shut 'em down
[01:03.94] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[01:05.90] I shut 'em down
[01:06.56] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[01:08.68] I shut 'em down
[01:09.22] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[01:11.52]
[01:16.59] Come on
[01:19.25] All right
[01:22.21] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
[01:25.33] What I use in a battle for the mind
[01:27.42] Hit it hard like you're suppose
[01:29.08] Pull no blows to the nose
[01:30.49] Like Uncle L said, I'm rippin' up shows
[01:32.89] Paying what it is is only five percent of the biz
[01:35.99] I'm adding woes, that's the way it goes
[01:38.12] Then you think I rank I never drank, point blank
[01:40.53] I own loans, suckers got me running from the bank
[01:43.58] Civil liberty, I can't see to pay a fee
[01:45.65] I never saw a way to pay a sap to read the law
[01:48.74] Then become a victim of a lawyer
[01:50.61] Don't know ya, never saw ya
[01:51.99] Tape cued, getting me sued
[01:54.02] Playing games with my head, what the judge said
[01:56.38] Put me in the red, got me thinking 'bout a trigger to the leg
[01:59.55] No, no, my educated mind say
[02:01.63] Suckers gonna pay anyway, there gonna be a day
[02:04.41] 'Cause the troop they roll in
[02:05.93] The posse up whole from the ground
[02:07.99] Ready to go, throw another round
[02:09.98] Sick of the ride, it's suicide for the other side of town
[02:13.15] When I find a way to shut 'em down
[02:14.95] I shut 'em down
[02:15.72] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[02:17.55] I shut 'em down
[02:18.60] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[02:20.18] I shut 'em down
[02:21.06] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[02:22.88] I shut 'em down
[02:23.64] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[02:25.48] I shut 'em down
[02:26.53] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[02:28.16] I shut 'em down
[02:28.97] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[02:30.81] I shut 'em down
[02:31.65] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[02:33.56] I shut 'em down
[02:34.34] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[02:36.39]
[02:39.49] Hold it
[02:41.14] Come on
[02:43.89] All right, y'all
[02:45.12] Alright, y'all
[02:46.44] Come on, now
[02:47.34]
[02:52.28] Hey
[02:53.13]
[02:58.06] Who count the money in the neighborhood?
[03:00.04] But we spending money to no end, looking for a friend
[03:03.13] In a war to the core, ripping up the poor in the stores
[03:06.39] Until they get a brother kicking down doors
[03:08.66] Then I figure I can get bigger, look 'em dead in the eye
[03:11.75] And they wince, defense is pressurized
[03:14.07] They don't really want it to be another racial attack in disguise
[03:17.53] So give some money back
[03:19.21] I like Nike, but wait a minute
[03:21.51] The neighborhood supports, so put some money in it
[03:24.24] All corporations owe, they gotta give up the dough
[03:26.86] To my town or else we gotta shut 'em down

[03:35.53] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[03:37.44] I shut 'em down
[03:38.24] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[03:40.09] I shut 'em down
[03:40.85] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[03:42.79] I shut 'em down
[03:43.55] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[03:45.39] I shut 'em down
[03:46.28] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[03:48.09] I shut 'em down
[03:48.89] (Shut 'em down, shut 'em, shut 'em down)
[03:52.20] All right, y'all, one more time, here we go again
[03:55.33] All right, come on
[03:58.07] Uh, get down, hold it, come on
[04:00.96] Wait a minute now

[04:16.67] The fall beat, y'all
[04:20.62] Uh, bring it low, bring it low, bring it low, y'all
[04:26.26] Howdy, y'all
[04:27.38] This is Bernie Crosshouse, yours truly of the KKK.
[04:31.23] I'd like to express our deepest gratitude at the destruction of the inferior nigger race
[04:37.29] And I'm especially pleased to report it's destroyin' itself without our help
[04:41.86] To all you gangs, hoodlums, drug pushers and users
[04:46.26] And other worthless niggers killin' each other
[04:48.61] We'd like to thank y'all for savin' us the time, trouble and legality
[04:53.28] For the final chapter of riddin' y'all off the face of the Earth
[04:57.18] Your solution to our problem is greatly appreciated
[05:00.60] So keep selling us your soul
[05:02.31] Thank you
[05:03.10]
