Down By The River
Bishop Ronald E. Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We make the other teams look so unprofessional
Von Miller Shaq Lawson put the pressure on
Rooting for another team then you less informed
If they come here for a lesson got a lesson for 'em
If they come here for a W they leave with a L
They ain't want the smoke but they got the smoke you can tell
They ain't want the smoke but they got the smoke you can tell
Division champs we never sell
We got "Grooot"
We bout to give 'em hell
Bass kickin with the boot
Got the best personnel
And you know I got the vintage
It's from 'Bleached by Abigail'
And you know I got the shoes
"Zubafy" it's by 'Zoom'
3rd down we stoppin ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin ya mafia mafia
Jordan or Micah on a blitz it's a sack
If they give it to a back Oliver is on his back
Got Shaquille it could be a Shaq attack
Hide ya wives hide ya girlfriends hide ya quarterbacks
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
Jordan or Micah on a blitz it's a sack
If they give it to a back Oliver is on his back
Got Shaquille it could be a Shaq attack
Hide ya wives hide ya girlfriends hide ya quarterback
We about to kick they Bass
That's facts
Number 30 not Curry
That's Dane Jackson
We don't settle but we do got Tim Settle on the field
Kick off Andre Smith first one down the field
Attitude of a bill
We got the players that go hard in the games and the drills
Tell me how it really feel
Drought is over that's for real
Playoffs was a dream, now the playoffs on our field
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
Jordan or Micah on a blitz it's a sack
If they give it to a back Oliver is on his back
Got Shaquille it could be a Shaq attack
Hide ya wives hide ya girlfriends hide ya quarterback
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia
Jordan or Micah on a blitz it's a sack

The Bishop Ronald E. Brown's song, "Down By The River," is a lyrical celebration of the Buffalo Bills football team. The song praises the team's players, specifically Von Miller, Shaq Lawson, Jordan and Micah, and Oliver, for their defensive abilities and for bringing a winning attitude to the field. The lyrics also criticize fans of other teams, calling them "less informed" and promising to teach them a lesson. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "3rd down we stoppin' ya mafia mafia," referring to the opposing team's offense, and encouraging the Buffalo Bills' defense to continue their winning ways.
