Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cru's song "Goin' Down" describe a tense situation in which Yogi, Chadio, and Mighty Ha are trying to protect themselves from people who are trying to harm them. Yogi is on a "midnight creep" through a New York project, listening to Wu-Tang Clan's "Protect Ya Neck" on his "ghetto tech" speakers. He notices people looking at him with covetous eyes, so he calls his friend Shah for backup. This scene sets the tone for the entire song, as Yogi, Chadio, and Mighty Ha are all on edge, ready to defend themselves from any potential threats.

Throughout the song, the language is coarse and confrontational, with Yogi and Chadio frequently using violent language to assert their dominance. The chorus, sung by Mighty Ha, is a repeated refrain of "It's goin' down, boogie boogie down," which adds to the sense of danger and excitement. The interlude features a woman trying to seduce Yogi, but he quickly turns the tables on her and robs her at gunpoint, adding to the sense of lawlessness and danger.

Overall, the lyrics to "Goin' Down" are a vivid portrait of urban life in New York City in the 1990s, with all of its violence, danger, and excitement. It is clear that Yogi, Chadio, and Mighty Ha are seasoned veterans of this world, and they are not afraid to use violence to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Aiyyo on a midnight creep through a New York project
I'm walking around the inner city of New York at midnight

Wit my ghetto tech, blastin, "Protect Ya Neck"
I'm listening to Wu-Tang Clan's 'Protect Ya Neck' on my portable speaker

With my chicken head major ass cheeks bow
I have a woman walking alongside me that has a big butt and is dressed inappropriately

Punk niggas lookin at me with the rocks and they gold
There are other people in the area wearing gold jewelry and trying to intimidate me

Now why you all up in my shit lookin hard
Why are you staring at me and trying to act tough?

Aiyyo go 'head with that kid before I kick my hit squad
You better walk away before I call my friends to come deal with you

You don't want none son I see you everyday
I see you every day and you don't seem like you're ready to fight

You that punk that be up in apartment 4-A
I know where you live and I'll come find you if I have to

Aww shit, niggas tryin to scheme
Someone is trying to plan something against me

I can tell, what the hell
I have a feeling something is wrong

Call my nigga Shah on the cell
I'm going to call my friend Shah for help

Ya Shah?
Hey Shah, are you there?

Petey?
Hey Petey, what's up?

Yo they tryin to get the nigga
Someone is trying to harm or capture me

Where you at?
Where are you located right now?

Up in L.I.P., across from Bronx River
I'm in the Long Island Projects across from the Bronx River

Short Puerto Rican looked it kinda slow
There's a short Puerto Rican man nearby who looks a little suspicious

Spittin when he talk from a mouth full of gold
He's talking strangely because of the gold jewelry in his mouth

I'm holdin by that
I have a weapon on me right now

Just be out
Leave immediately

Nigga stop ditchin, join 60 lickin in the kitchen
Stop running away and come help us with our group (60 lickin) in the kitchen

It's goin down (down down down)
Things are about to get serious

It's goin down (boogie boogie down)
The situation is becoming dangerous

Nigga
Hey man

Boogie boogie down
Let's get out of here

boogie boogie boogie boogie down
Let's get moving quickly

Down down down
The situation is escalating

[Girl] Come here daddy
A female is trying to seduce me

What's the matter?
What is wrong?

Don't be upset, just get a little closer {unzip}
Don't be sad, just come closer and let's get intimate

Uh-huh, uh-uh, mmm, mmm
Sounds of sexual pleasure

oh shit, that's better, stick 'em up boo, bitch
I'm feeling relieved but also need to rob the woman

Right there, right there, motherfucka o
Getting more involved in the seduction, ignoring consequences

Yo it's a known fact that kid talk too much
That guy talks too much

And from the chrome black he about to get touched
He's about to feel our wrath

Quick with his tongue, livin on the fast track
He talks too much and is living recklessly

What goes around comes, Mighty Ha, and that's that
If he continues with his behavior, he'll eventually experience consequences

I can dig it, ain't go no time for weed hoppers
I understand, I don't have time for people who are unreliable

Blowin up in front of the girls to get proppers
Acting foolishly in front of women to try to impress them

But I got somethin for that ass no doubt
I have a surprise planned for him

Aiyo when Shah get up in here, I blaze it then I'm out
When Shah arrives, we'll deal with him quickly and leave

Now I'm sip this Becks, while my bitch give me he'd
I'm drinking a beer while my girlfriend performs oral sex on me

Her little son woke up, he pissed in the bed
Her young child accidentally wet the bed

Aiyo turn shit over and go to sleep
Clean up the mess and go back to bed

This nigga Shah said "No weap, shit is mad deep" Who dat?
Shah says we don't need weapons, things are getting too serious, who is it that's causing us trouble?

Motherfucka open the door, the God just licked this nigga head knob
Open the door, we just found and beat up the enemy we were looking for

Yo shorties downstairs with that nigga Mighty Ha
There are children downstairs with Mighty Ha

Remind of you son?
Does that remind you of anything?

Yo Par, they they are
They are here now

Yo Shah
Hey Shah

Problem nigga, I solve him
I'll take care of the problematic individual

Whatever punk ass nigga
I don't care what you say, you're not intimidating me

I hope you got insurence big fella
You're going to need insurance after what I'm about to do to you

Fuck that
I don't care

What to protect ya gut
I'm going to hit you hard in the stomach

Bitch ass what, I guess you didn't hear how I don't give a uck
I don't care what you do, I'm not intimidated

Then ring
Go ahead and make a move
