Shut 'Em Down
Cypress Hill

(feat. Tom Morello)


[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 motherfuckin' 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-ass police (crooked-ass 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 shit ain't over! (this shit 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 shit! (Cannabis potent shit!)

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!)


[Chorus:]

(Bailouts, Wall Street, Cold Wars, Politicians, Quiet Tax)


[Chorus 2: B-Real {Sen Dog}]

(Bailouts!) Shut 'em down! - (Wall Street!) Shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!}

Shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!} - Yeah, we shut 'em down!

(Cold wars!) We shut 'em down! - (Politicians!) We shut 'em down! {shut 'em down!}

(Quiet Tax!) 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 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 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]
