Touch Down
TI feat Eminem Lyrics

When we touchdown
Upon our arrival to a new city

There's no need to ask me, okay
It is a well-known fact that Southern boys love bass, there's no need to confirm

Everybody know them Southern boys love that bass
It's a common knowledge that boys from Southern States love bass music

Atlanta go bananas, Alabama, Louisiana
When we land in cities like Atlanta, Alabama or Louisiana, the people go crazy

Mississippi, Tenekeys, every muthafuckin' state
The love for bass music and hype is not restricted to only a particular state, but every state we go to

Go right from the plane to the range
Upon arrival, we head straight from the plane to entertain the audience

On the private plane, gettin' brain
While on the private plane, enjoying company with a lady

Till we touchdown
The good times keep rolling until we land at our destination

There ain't no way to keep 'em quiet
The excitement and hype cannot be contained

With T.I. and Shady, baby, we 'bout to move inside a ride
With the talented artists T.I. and Shady, we'll roll in style

When we get in town you know how we getting down
As soon as we arrive in a new city, the party kicks into gear

Pull a cling and hop on out, snatch all the freaks then walk on out
We attract attention as we arrive, gather a lot of attention and leave a mark before we exit

I'm livin', what they talkin' 'bout? I'm shinin' if it dark or not
I'm living life to the fullest regardless of what others may say, and I'm shining bright

That one hundred DX double R, you'll find that in the parkin' lot
My pricey Rolls-Royce car can always be found in the parking lot

You barkin' up the wrong tree, I do this shit for Zone 3
You're approaching the wrong person, I do this for my community Zone 3

4, 5 and 6 as well as 1, Atlanta, I'm forever, son
My presence and influence extends to various zones in Atlanta and I'm here to stay

Still be on whatever coast, grindin', blowin' heavy smoke
I still hustle and work hard, regardless of which coast I'm on, and I enjoy smoking a lot

Him you better tell 'em 'fore, won't hesitate to let him go
Warn him before it's too late, or I won't hesitate to eliminate him

They know I put that green light on them haters
My haters are aware that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate them

Keep on tryin' me, I'll put that beam right on ya tater
If they keep testing me, I'll point my gun at them and silence them

Now you don't wanna see T.I.P. be irate
You don't want to see T.I.P. angry, as it could lead to dangerous consequences

Just try to keep him in a cage but some how he keep escapin'
People try to control T.I.P. but he always finds a way to break free

That's why I be on vacation, Virgin Island I be takin'
That's why I take vacations, to places like the Virgin Islands

Private planes out to Spain, now keep on flyin', I ain't fakin'
Flying via private planes to destinations like Spain, truly enjoying life to the fullest

The money ain't a thing, think I'm lyin', you're mistaken
Money is no object to me, and if you think I'm joking, you're wrong

You can find long lines and all kinds of bitches your way
There are many women that are attracted to you, wherever you go

Welcome to the Midwest, yes
Greeting to the audience as we enter the Midwest region

Where them Detroit players ball like you have no idea, the boy is here
In Detroit, people have a lot of energy and party hard, and I'm there to join them

Got the whole place lookin' like its candy painted, ain't it?
The entire place has been transformed and colored vibrantly

Like we left the kids at home and just let 'em loose with the crayons
It looks like a bunch of kids got together and colored everything with crayons

Fuck, I just hit a jogger, people lookin' like frogger
I accidentally hit someone jogging, and people are hopping around like in the video game Frogger

They Hoppin' out the way whenever they see Marshall's car comin'
People are jumping out of the way when they see Marshall's car approaching

The kids painted my windows with black, permanent marker
The children drew on my windows with a permanent black marker

And left the rest of the car color cover like swirl pops
The rest of the car's surface looks like a colorful swirl pop

And I got the bass thumpin' but I'm bound to bump into something
The bass music is strong, but I'm worried that I'm going to accidentally hit something

Kids are flyin' through the air, lookin' like they're crumpin'
The kids are jumping and dancing through the air in a dance style called crumping

The way they're tumbling I gotta do something
They are tumbling and falling, which is concerning, and I need to do something to stop it

But soon as I hit the car wash to get the tar off
I'll get the car washed to remove any tar or dirt

Then it's right back at it tomorrow
And then the next day, I'll be back at it again

This is for the pimps listenin' to me, nail polish on the rims
This is for the pimp audience who listens to my music, they put nail polish on their car's rims

And now it's custom chrome but I gotta go do a show
Now their car has custom chrome details, but I need to leave for a performance

So go on with your bad self, just have it back to normal
Enjoy your car as it is, but make sure it's back to normal when I return

From my arrival until my departure
From the moment I arrive at my destination until I leave

Guarantee I put this D I C K in somebody daughter, aye
I promise to have sexual intercourse with somebody's daughter before I leave

I still have my way with the ladies across the water
Even in other countries, I have no trouble attracting women and getting what I want

Flew to Paris from Haiti, just some shit that I thought of
I randomly decided to fly from Haiti to Paris, just for the fun of it

It's ironic kind of shit that we buy, man
The things we spend money on are ironic and perhaps unnecessary

Make us psychotical threat to corporate America
Our lifestyle and spending habits pose a threat to Corporate America's ideology

Then why they runnin' from me?
If they're not afraid, then why are they running from me?

How could they be so ignorant? Look at what hip hop den done
Corporate America doesn't understand or appreciate the positive influence hip hop has created

It's allowed us to run a business, legimitated our monies
Hip hop has given us business opportunities and legitimized our income

Got us out the ghettos and relocated out mommies
Hip hop has helped us escape the ghetto and we're now able to provide for our mothers

I made it all the way here, ain't no way you takin' it from me
I've come a long way to get where I am, and no one can take it away from me

So excuse me, Oprah, honey, I'm sorry, really I promise
Apologizing to Oprah, it's just a figure of speech, not an actual apology

But niggas, bitches and hoes do exist, I'm just bein' honest
Referring to the derogatory terms, but he's just being truthful about their existence

But that am I bein' punished, why are you so astonished?
He questions why he should be punished or judged for being truthful

Now I ain't got a degree, just intelligence in abundance
He doesn't have an official degree, but he possesses a lot of intelligence

So you ain't gotta like me, I know millions of folks who love me
Not everyone has to like him, but he knows he has millions of fans who support him

You can see it how they yellin' and screamin and waitin' for me
The evidence is in the way his fans yell, scream, and wait for him

When I touchdown
Upon arriving at his destination and touching down
