Tear It Down Lyrics
First single off of D12 Forever featuring Xzibit & B-real[Verse 1: Kuniva]
The name’s D-1-2 (Two), who the fuck are you? (You)
We built this city, from underground to mainstream too (Too)
You know your boy connives (‘Nives), I pull out knives (Knives)
If the blade breaks then I’m forced to pull out nines (Nines)
They tell me to be safe, I keep it dangerous and raw
I’m breaking more than the law, I keep the ladies in awe (Awe)
Still I’m Motown raised (Raised), the whole crowd is amazed (‘Mazed)
Either way I decide to flow, they go with the wave (Wave)
Had a hell of a night, not only that I can fight (Fight)
Kicked a hole in the speaker, promoter’s money was light (Light)
My daughter told me I rizz (Rizz), I don’t know what that is (Is)
Still I gotta tell your girl to stay up out of my biz (Biz)
Yeah, your homie’s a beast, most of these rappers are clowns
So the crew is always ready just in case it go down (Down)
You know it’s lit anytime that we roll through your town (Town)
Hold a mic to the audience and yell out loud, we tell ’em
[Chorus: Kuniva]
Tear it down
Any stage we hit, you know we
Tear it down
Headline or opening, we gon’
Tear it down
D12 is the clique and we
Tear it down
We make sure you won’t forget how we
Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
Rock that!
Whenever we in your town, they gon’ gather round
To get a front row seat to see us tear it down
[Bridge: Kuniva]
D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2
[Verse 2: Swifty McVay]
Yo, we thicker than thieves (Thieves), it ain’t hard to believe (‘Lieve)
Been rocking but we still got tricks up our sleeves (Sleeves)
Swifty is the name (Name), Dirty Dozen’s the gang (Gang)
Known for cuffing my nuts but still letting ’em hang (Hang)
Habitual face slapper so fuck if you like me
Show my face when I grin, punch you out of your shiesty
Got a license to ill (Ill), never fake, I’m too real (Real)
Even my doctor know I’m sick, she tried to slide me a pill (Pill)
On the road to success (‘Cess), ain’t getting off I’m too blessed (Bless)
Who said it’s lonely at the top, I’m watching honey undress (Dress)
She like my taco meat (Meat), my chest hair, my physique (‘Sique)
My Detroit state of mind and the way that I speak (Speak)
Y’all sing the crowd lullabies, y’all just rock ’em to sleep (Sleep)
Plus your stage show was whack, your performance is weak (Weak)
That’s why I signal to the audience, they nod and agree (‘Gree)
Then I stage-dive on ’em, then right after I leap, I yell
[Chorus: Kuniva]
Tear it down
Any stage we hit, you know we
Tear it down
Headline or opening, we gon’
Tear it down
D12 is the clique and we
Tear it down
We make sure you won’t forget how we
Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
Rock that!
Whenever we in your town, they gon’ gather round
To get a front row seat to see us tear it down
[Verse 3: Xzibit]
I skip bullets at your face like rocks on water
It could happen automatically or semi-auto
Cracked the bottle or serve something you can’t swallow
It’s gon’ be hollow when I make my point, I smoked this joint
We came here to fuck shit up and tear shit down
But look at you now, under the crown not to be found
You’re found out fucking around ’cause you an idiot
Slumped over the wheel crashing into the media
Yeah, the karma hit your ass immediately
Guerrilla warfare, fighting like the Vietnamese
It’s nothing but trees, guns and Humvees
Coughed mouth disease and changed with big swings
See, I don’t hide on dreams, I just do shit
I move shit like cartel mass producing
So all my niggas, where the fuck you at?
If it’s fuck me, then fuck you back
Let’s tear this motherfucker down!
[Chorus: Kuniva]
Tear it down
Any stage we hit, you know we
Tear it down
Headline or opening, we gon’
Tear it down
D12 is the clique and we
Tear it down
We make sure you won’t forget how we
Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
Rock that!
Whenever we in your town, they gon’ gather round
To get a front row seat to see us tear it down
[Verse 4: B-Real]
You never done one relevant thing, benevolent king
The sentiment stings, so involved, what I said on it brings
Don’t meddle with kings, don’t peddle with things
You know nothing about swing for the fences and red weapon beams
We turn it up to tear it down
Never compare the sound when the pounds gather around
‘Cause what you found was lightning in a bottle we’re full throttle
Toppling a model of hollow-hearted bitches, we going semi-auto
Rat-a-tat-tat, we know they never coming back
Fatal attacks from tracks coming off of the racks, in fact
You wear dishonor like a cheap suit we see through
Fire me shady rhymes from Temu, he’s through
Pull ’em out, it’s a deep root, reboot
Rocking a sweet line, motherfucker’s got sweet tooth
They call me thirteen, the worst thing, I’m thirsting
Ready to pop like I’m bursting and cursing
[Chorus: Kuniva]
Tear it down
Any stage we hit, you know we
Tear it down
Headline or opening, we gon’
Tear it down
D12 is the clique and we
Tear it down
We make sure you won’t forget how we
Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
What we do? Tear it down
Rock that!
Whenever we in your town, they gon’ gather round
To get a front row seat to see us tear it down
[Outro: Kuniva]
D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2
D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2
D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2 (Rock that)
D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2, D-1-2
