Shakedowntown

[00:24.02] I hear 'em bangin' at the front door
[00:27.32] Someone whispers, "button up before we end up on the floor!"
[00:31.48] And if you know what's good for you, you better look over your shoulder now
[00:41.07] The beat are crawlin' every block at night
[00:44.04] So if you fit the profile then you'd better stay inside
[00:48.86] 'Cause you'll be feeling rather dull when they come knockin' at your skull, ah-la-la
[00:57.45] And I ain't gonna pick a side
[01:00.94] Because I ain't a crooked kid
[01:03.10] And I'm not narcin' in this Shakedowntown
[01:06.90]
[01:13.16] They should'a known it was just a matter of time before
[01:17.91] The kids began to brandish their own iron
[01:21.57] But no surpries when you're stuck between a cop and a hard place
[01:29.83] And by the time that I heard hellfire in the street
[01:33.38] I knew I had to split or I'd be dead at seventeen
[01:38.41] And I don't wanna die in the crossfire
[01:44.04] No
[01:46.62] And I ain't gonna pick a side
[01:50.11] Because I ain't a crooked kid
[01:52.36] And I'm not narcin' in this Shakedown-
[01:55.16] Oh, o-o-o-oh
[01:59.05] Oh, o-o-o-oh
[02:03.41] Oh, ooh, oooh
[02:09.27] Oh oh o-o-o-o-oh
[02:14.42] Oh oh o-o-o-o-oh
[02:19.79] Oh, oh, a-oh, oh
[02:23.03] Because I ain't a crooked kid
[02:25.22] And I'm not narcin' in this Shakedowntown
[02:27.68]
