Shot Down
DMX & 50 Cent & Styles P Lyrics

Move on over, I done told ya boy
I'm letting you know that I'm in charge and you need to step back.

I'm a G-Unit motherfuckin' soldier boy
I'm part of the G-Unit organization, fiercely loyal and dedicated to my team.

And when you gon' get it in your brain
When are you going to understand the reality of the situation?

The gate's wide open and the dog's off the chain
Things are about to get wild and crazy.

I be that yung'n with that gun-ness, tellin' ya stop frontin'
I'm young and I'm carrying a gun, so you better not mess with me.

I be that yung'n on the run, after I pop some'n
I've already shot someone and I'm on the run from the law.

In the Bible I read, death is of the tongue
The Bible says that words can lead to death.

And if you talk about death enough death is gon' come
If you keep talking about death, eventually it will catch up to you.

Dave taught me how to flow, they shot him in the head
My mentor taught me how to rap, but he was tragically killed.

Randy ass was there, now he runnin' scared
One of the witnesses to the murder is now living in fear.

Some say I'm gangsta, some say I'm crazy
I have a reputation for being either a gangster or a little crazy.

If you ask me I'll say I'm what the hood made me
I attribute my personality and character to my upbringing in the rough neighborhood.

Now I can stunt 'til my ass dead broke like JD
I can act like I'm rich and wealthy, but eventually I'll be broke like Jermaine Dupri.

Or put a hundred grand on e'ry nigga head that play me
I'm not above putting a bounty on someone who crosses me.

See I'm cool with them Haitian mob niggas
I have connections with the dangerous Haitian mob.

They say sak passe nap boule and rob niggas
They have their own language and culture where they rob people.

The media be tryin' to make a nigga look bad, whats up with that?
The media unfairly portrays me as a bad person.

See my flick, next to bring Papi and Cat
I'm working on my next movie with two other people named Papi and Cat.

And Montana, I kill 'em with the grammar
My excellent use of language and grammar makes me stand out from others.

I enhanced in the slammer after bangin them hammers
I became a better rapper while serving time in jail for violence.

You don't live that, you shouldn't say that
If you don't have experience with a certain lifestyle, don't talk about it.

Cause what come out your mouth'll get you SHOT, DOWN
Talking too much can lead to your demise.

Throwin your money around and we don't play that
Displaying wealth or acting flashy can make you a target.

Get in our line'll get you SHOT, DOWN (nigga)
If you cross us or try to compete, you'll be taken out.

We know where you hang, we know where you stay at
We are aware of your whereabouts and can come find you.

That bullshit you on'll get you SHOT, DOWN
Talking nonsense or indulging in bad behavior can result in violence.

Here's a few clips that you shouldn't play with
Don't mess with us or things will get ugly.

G-Unit, Ruff Ryders'll get you SHOT, DOWN
Being associated with our rival gangs can lead to your demise.

Aye yo, fuck y'all niggas talkin' bout, think you playin' wit?
What are you guys talking about? You're not messing with us, are you?

Double are, G-UNIT, the same ol' shit (what!)
We are G-Unit and we have a reputation for being ruthless.

Put the fagots in the ring, watch 'em all quit
We are ready to take on anyone who challenges us and they will lose.

All y'all niggas is pussy, suck my dick!
We don't view our rivals as being strong or powerful.

Ain't nothin'[ but a handful of man still standin'
We are a small group of men who have survived many challenges and are still strong.

I remember 50 in a cypher when Onyx was 'Slammin' (aight?)
I remember when 50 Cent was rapping in a group setting with other artists.

Now we meet again, it's all good my nigga
We have reunited and everything is good between us.

Back to the street again, it's all hood my nigga
We are back to working on music that represents our neighborhood.

Knock on wood my nigga, we both walk the dog
We are lucky to be alive and to have survived our experiences.

We ain't get to where we at by luck, shit was hard (aight?)
We faced many challenges and worked hard to achieve our current status.

But once we got through the trials it's all smiles
Now that we are successful, we can smile and enjoy our accomplishments.

'til a big type nigga all of a sudden get wild
Our happiness can be interrupted by someone who starts acting recklessly or violently.

Now why you gotsta go and take me back to where I came from?
Why are you trying to bring up my past and drag me back to my old ways?

I'ma make you remember, where you know my name from (YYea!)
I'm going to make sure that you never forget my name and my reputation.

45th Street, and blaow-blaow Ave.
I'm from a specific dangerous neighborhood.

I done ran through your crew and only let off half, nigga!
I have already defeated half of your crew in battle.

If your head ain't offa your shoulders (uh-huh)
If you are still alive and your head is still attached to your body.

You ain't get shot, you got nicked nigga (just nicked)
You weren't killed, you just got hit.

Cause if my chrome hit a piece of your bone
If my gun hits a part of your body, it will do extreme damage.

It's gon' do more than chip, nigga (a lot more than that)
The damage caused by my gun will be severe and not just a minor injury.

Yea, what the fuck is the problem
What is the issue? Why are you trying to start something?

The Porsche is red the buckets is Army
I have a flashy car and weapons ready for battle.

30 shot handguns the gutter is starvin (yea)
We have powerful guns and we are ready to fight in any situation.

Niggas like me might rush your apartment (word)
We are not afraid to invade your space and attack you.

Bloodstains'll fuck up your carpet, brain on the window
Violence will leave a mess and damage to your surroundings.

I smell murder every time that the wind blow
I'm always aware of the potential for violence and death around me.

Tie him to the chair and then knock out his chinbone
We are willing to use torture and violence to get what we want.

I don't want the throne or the crown, I ain't sellin up
I'm not trying to become a king or lead anyone, I just want to succeed.

You can have the jail or the ground, you ain't in hell enough
I'd rather be dead than in jail or in a bad situation.

I'm the one that flood the gutters
I'm responsible for the rough and violent atmosphere in my area.

Better tap your man, and let him know P'll love to cut his
Warn your friend to watch his back because I'm not afraid to harm him.

And niggas is gettin' shot down, two guns up
People are getting killed and the violence is escalating.

Double are, S.P. holdin' D Block down
We are a strong team and we are loyal to our group and our neighborhood.
