Shut It Down
Dead Celebrity Status Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch me shut shut shut it down
We step on stage
And we shut shut shut it down
You feel my rage
When we shut shut shut it down
I love the pain
I ain't fazed
I show no mercy cause I'm verbally indifferent
Raps my octagon I'm just searching for submissions
A caged lion rhyming with a purpose of inflicting pain
Cause freestyle written I'm insane
The way I jot psychotic but so my logic
That's why I rap like I'm gouging an eye socket
I'm just a natural with a scratch match gas flow
Johnny Cash middle finger up
Fuck a rap show
Control like Castro
Leave em hooked crack
Cocaine getin your brain
Like psychology Maslow
Michael Jackson bad flow
Pedophile style mean
I don't look at age when I'm destroying your child
I take em 8 to 80
Dumb crippled and crazy
Whoever stands in front of me
Lil Wayne and Jay-Z
So fuck how you rate me
Or how you feel verbally
Cause personally
I never heard of you
But you heard of me
Walk into to my cage
Watch me shut shut shut it down
We step on stage
And we shut shut shut it down
You feel my rage
When we shut shut shut it down
I love the pain
I ain't fazed
Give me one more round
The dead'll haunt you
So trying to run is like Big Pun
Trying rap with a punctured lung
You lack the spine or back
It takes to face me
Cause vocals are like chock holds
On the old voice [?]
Lately I've been out for blood
That's why I spit
Like I ain't got nothing else to love
My heart beats ticks
While yours sleeps skips
Dog eat dog world
That's Mike [?]
I'm like lyrically massive
My writings exciting
Like Steve Nash's passes
Like different rhyming in foreign accents
My actions capture the moment like photographic flashes
Of Kardashian's necklace
This is gridlock kingofthedot
Lyrically blacked out
Punch like a John [?]
When I make the beat tapout
Gas out, max out
Bleeding on the canvas
Welcome to the madness
Of Dead Celebrity Status
Walk into to my cage
Watch me shut shut shut it down
We step on stage
And we shut shut shut it down
You feel my rage
When we shut shut shut it down
I love the pain
I ain't fazed
Give me one more round
