ShakeDownTown

from V​á​monos by Naive Thieves

lyrics

I hear ‘em bangin’ at the front door, someone whispers “button up before we end up on the floor, and if you know what’s good for you, you better look over your shoulder now.” The beat are crawlin’ every block at night, so if you fit the profile then you better stay inside. ‘Cause you’ll be feeling rather dull when they come knocking’ at your skull. (ah-la-la) And I ain’t gonna pick a side, because I ain’t a crooked kid, and I’m not narcing in this ShakeDownTown. They should have known it was just a matter of time before the kids began to brandish their own iron, but no surprises when you’re stuck between a cop and a hard place. And by the time that I heard hellfire in the street, I knew I had to split or I’d be dead at seventeen, and I don’t want to die in the crossfire. (no) And I ain’t gonna pick a side, because I ain’t a crooked kid, and I’m not narcing in this ShakeDownTown.
