CYPRESS HILL
"Shut 'Em Down"
(L. Freese / S. Reyes)

"Breaking news story, just bringing you up to date..
..across the US, as the country's economy continues to plunge..
..now some are so outraged they are doing something about it..
..congress is proposing new taxes..
..symbols remind you of the toll the ongoing wars are taking on our country..
CEOs..."

[Chorus:]
Shut 'em down
Shut 'em down (Shut em down)
Shut 'em down (Shut em down)
Yes, we shut em down
[2x]

[Sen Dog:]
Somethin' getting down from the motherfuckin' get go
Hands around your neck and I'm refusing to let go
I'm like a down south crooked ass police
Gettin' me some of everything down to your show biz
See they got me
Straight goin' up G
Going buck wild
Swinging on the paparazzi
We not done, this shit ain't over
We're back with a nation of soldiers
We ain't havin' it
We takin' over kid
Coming through with the cannabis potent shit
I'm thinkin' oh no
We rock the good show
Hand over the mic like Billy Boddy in a fist show

[Chorus:]
(Bailouts, Wall Street, Cold Wars, Politicians, Quiet Tax)
Shut 'em down
Shut 'em down (Shut em down)
Shut 'em down (Shut em down)
Yes, we shut em down
[2x]

[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 bullshit
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 fucking thorn your side that keeps annoying you

[Chorus:]
(A Common Enemy, hypocrites, Crooked Cops, Drug Lords, Higher Tax)
Shut 'em down
Shut 'em down (Shut em down)
Shut 'em down (Shut em down)
Yes, we shut em down
[2x]

[Chorus:]
(War Criminals, Politicians, No Surrender, By any means)
Shut 'em down
Shut 'em down (Shut em down)
Shut 'em down (Shut em down)
Yes, we shut em down
[2x]
