Cypress Hill - Shut 'Em Down lyrics

[Interludes:] [Male News Archors #1:] Breaking news story! Just bringing you up to date... [Female News Archors #1:]... across the US, as the country's economy continues to plunge. [Male News Archors #2:] Now some are so outraged... they are doing something about it! [Female News Archors #1:] The Congress is proposing new taxes... [Male News Archors #2:] Symbols remind you of the toll the ongoing wars are taking on our country! [Female News Archors #1:] CEO's. [echoes] [beat starts] [Tom Morello starts playing the guitar] [Chorus 1: B-Real (Sen Dog)] We shut 'em down! - We shut 'em down! (shut 'em down!) We shut 'em down! (shut 'em down!) - Yeah, we shut 'em down! We shut 'em down! - We shut 'em down! (shut 'em down!) We shut 'em down! (shut 'em down!) - Yeah, we shut 'em down! [Sen Dog:] Somethin' getting down from the motherf**in' get go (get go!) Hands around your neck and I'm refusing to let go! (I'm refusing to let go!) I'm like a Down South - crooked-a** police (crooked-a** police!) Gettin' me some of everything. - Down to your show biz! (down to your show biz!) See? They got me - straight going off, G! (straight goin' off, G!) Going buck wild, swinging on a paparazzi! (swingin' on the paparazzi!) We not done! - This sh** ain't over! (this sh** ain't over!) Cause we're back with a nation of soldiers. (with a nation of soldiers!) And we havin' it! - We takin' over, kid! (we takin' over, kid!) Coming through - with the Cannabis potent sh**! (Cannabis potent sh**!) I'm thinkin': "Oh, no! - We rock the good show! " (we rock the good show!) Hand over the mic' like Billy Boddy in a fist show. (like Billy Boddy in a fist show!)

Shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} - Yeah, we shut 'em down! [B-Real:] Going down the cross roads, feeling kinda lost no Way to make it forsaken and taken for a lost soul! I don't want your sympathy! - I don't need your hand out! Never had it planned out, just a cut your man out! Wars on the newscast! - Caught it on a news flash! Heard about a new tax! - What if I refuse that? I don't want your promises! - I don't need your bullsh**! I don't need you telling me the answers at the pulpit! Setup for the meltdown! - Hunted by the hellhounds! Spiders got you spellbound! - Get up if you fell down! I don't hate your slick talk! - I don't seek your point of view! I'm the f**ing thorn your side that keeps annoying you! [Chorus 3: B-Real {Sen Dog}] (Crooked cops!) We shut 'em down! - (Drug Lords!) We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} (Higher tax!) Shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} - Yeah, we shut 'em down! (False media!) We shut 'em down! - (A common enemy!) We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} (Hypocrities!) We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} - Yeah, we shut 'em down! [24 seconds guitar solo by Tom Morello] [Chorus 4: B-Real {Sen Dog}] (Politicians!) We shut 'em down! - (War criminals!) We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} (This is a fixed show!) We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} - Yeah, we shut 'em down! (Corruptions!) We shut 'em down! - (No surrender!) We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} (By any means!) We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} - Yeah, we shut 'em down! [Chorus 1] [Beat fades out]
