Shut Em Down [pete Rock Mix] - Public Enemy Lyrics - Scratchology - X-ecutioners

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
