Shut It Down
Drake ft The Dream Lyrics

Hey, oh, oh
Beginning of the song, no real meaning.

These girls ain't got nothin' on you
Other girls can't compete with the one he's addressing.

Uh, say baby I had to mention
Drake has to say this to the woman he's interested in.

That if you were a star you'd be the one I'm searching for
The girl is so amazing, Drake would look for her even if she was a famous celebrity.

Other girls they, they got attention
Other girls get attention, but this girl doesn't need it because she's already fabulous.

But I just always feel like there in need of something you got
Other women are always missing something that this girl already has.

It's obvious you're pretty
The woman is very physically attractive.

Heard that you're a student working weekends in the city
Drake has heard about the girl's background and life.

Trying to take you out girl, hope you're not too busy
Drake wants to take this girl out, even though she may be busy with work.

And if there's nothing wrong
If this girl has no issue with going out with Drake...

Got this little song for you to get ready to
...he has a song for her to get ready to.

Put those fucking heels on and work it girl
Drake is encouraging the girl to put on her heels and work it.

Let that mirror show you what you're doing
The girl should focus on her own reflection and presentation.

Put that fucking dress on and work it kind of vicious
Drake wants her to put on a flashy dress and look amazing.

Like somebody's taking pictures
She should look like she's on a red carpet getting her picture taken.

Shut it down, down, down (ay, ay, ay)
The girl will shut it down with her amazing presence.

You would shut it down, down, down (ay, ay, ay)
The woman he's addressing would shut down the room.

You'd be the baddest girl around, 'round, 'round (ay, ay, ay)
She would be the most amazing and desirable woman there.

And they'd notice, they'd notice
Everyone will take notice of her.

You would shut it down, down, down
This woman has the power to shut everything down.

These girls ain't got nothing on you
Other women can't compete with her.

Ki-Killa, Killa (hey)
No real meaning here, just a repeat of a sound effect.

Girl you're the greatest
She is the best and most amazing person.

And if he say you ain't, girl he's out his mind
If anyone says anything negative about her, they're crazy.

You're the finest
She is the finest and most amazing woman.

And if he say you ain't, that boy done lost his mind
Anyone who says anything negative about her is ridiculous.

Hey baby, every time you come around
The girl he's addressing is amazing whenever she's around.

Shut it down like computers
She has the power to shut everything down, like a computer turning off.

Hey lady, step into my heart
Drake is inviting the woman into his heart.

And let me put you in the Louboutins
He wants to buy her expensive shoes and treat her right.

What you want, what you need (yeah)
He wants to know what she wants and needs from him.

I can be your everything (yeah)
He could be everything she needs.

Them other niggas just wanna hit it
Other men just want to have sex with her.

But if they had it, wouldn't know what to do with it
Those other men would have no idea how to treat her right.

And together we shut it down, down, down
Together, they would be unstoppable and amazing.

They know we shut it down, down, down
Others would know how amazing they are.

That we shut it down, down, down
Together they can shut it all down.

Every time we come around, 'round, 'round
Whenever they're together, they're amazing.

You looking good girl, go, go, go get 'em girl
She looks amazing and should go out and conquer the world.

Go, go, go hit 'em girl, go, go, go, go, go, go
She should go out and make a name for herself.

The way I'm feeling, the things I say
Drake is feeling very strongly and speaking with passion.

All just happen when you pass my way, oh
Everything amazing happens when she's around.

What can I do to make you stay?
He wants her to stick around.

I know it's getting late, but girl I don't want you to leave
He wants her to stay even though it's late.

You tell me you're just not the type, you wanna do this right
She's hesitant because she wants to do things properly.

And I'm not trying to say I don't believe you
He doesn't doubt her intentions.

But I refuse to feel ashamed and if you feel the same
He won't be ashamed to pursue her, but only if she feels the same.

Does waiting really make us better people?
He's questioning whether waiting to do things properly actually benefits anyone.

Take those fucking heels off, it's worth it girl
He wants her to be comfortable and relaxed.

Nothing is what I can picture you in
He can't imagine her in anything less than amazing.

So take that fucking dress off, I swear you won't forget me
He wants her to be intimate and intimate with him.

You'll be happy that you let me
She'll be pleased that she chose him.

Lay you down, down, down
He wants to lay her down intimately.

I'm trying to lay you down, down, down
He's pushing for intimacy.

You still the baddest girl around, 'round, 'round
She's still the best and most amazing person.

They'd notice, they'd notice (oh, oh)
Everyone will take note of how amazing she is.

Trying to lay you down, down, down
He's still pushing for intimacy.
