Lowdown

[Intro: Darrein Safron]

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh

Oh

[Verse 1: Darrein Safron]

Yeah, we gon' run far outside in time

Oh, never do lie, never do lie

I never do lie

I put this on my soul to see your face light up

Get them people out our way

And in time they'll feel our pain, break out them chains

[Pre-Chorus: Darrein Safron]

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh

Oh

[Chorus: Darrein Safron]

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]

Mama would have killed me (Christ)

Stepdaddy would have killed me (Islam)

If they both knew I chose a side

That would put me off up in a ride

With bloodthirsty killers inside

For my nigga Scoob, riding with the whoopty whop

To try to shoot the block then when the Uzi flocks

And this nigga named Crazy one day robbed my homie with his babies

For a lot of gravy God saved we

Found nobody to put on the news

Flame scatter brain splatter look like Jamba Juice

And we all intelligent but this shit is irrelevant

When they rob a real one for the hell of it

Yeah we gonna shoot

Cause we coming from the ghetto

Where you can die over jealousy or dinero

Women not having had extended like a sombrero

KC we never hesitating to let the metal go

And they bring us down to they level (demons)

And they taking fifty rounds from a rebel

That's the sound of the Devil's (semen)

Spreading round making little ones

And mamma's on the ground cause they killed her son, grieving

Yeah I chose a side but I flow now

It don't matter Nina, it can still be a showdown

Anywhere you go now

So you better stand yo ground

Cause they don't wanna see you climbing

They wanna keep you low down

[Pre-Chorus: Darrein Safron]

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh

Oh

[Chorus: Darrein Safron]

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah

[Verse 3: UBI]

They wanna see me falling like the rain drops

It's not that I won't, that I can't stop

Keep my brain locked on the game

Put the pad away when the paint stop

Cause they don't care if you slang rocks

All on the same block

Even if you're in Adelaide or in Bangkok

Bussin, spreading your city name like Chiddy Bang

But really they were sleeping and unaware of what it became

What will it take

I'm building my way into real estate

While you Philly steak children get really baked

I'm here to facilitate a setting to celebrate over Dilla J

Silver gorilla, mister vanilla face kill the brake

A beat drop and you feel the bass, exhilarating

Sleep on me, I'll slip in your pillowcase

They want to mitigate the buzz that we generate

And give us as little pay as possible any given day

They want us low down, dirty and shitty shame

Cause if anybody profound go head and give me fame

[Pre-Chorus: Darrein Safron]

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh

Oh

[Chorus: Darrein Safron]

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down

Yeah they wanna keep us low down yeah
