[Verse 1]
Well now tell me baby, what are you going to do boy? Will you run from the gun giving up the Joy?
Out to break under the pressure from the devil son, creeping up on your back like the hit and run
The shake down ain't no fun, you're right; I'll give you that. But what you need to understand is who's got your back
And that the reason for the season is to make you strong. Now get up and throw down, all night long
You best believe the Word of God will be your sword man. The world says that you can't, but God says you can
So do what you've got to do soldier and engage, until you've put that crooked lion right back in his cage
He's out to kill, out to steal and destroy, haven't you heard; every man, woman, girl, and boy. Hey that's the word!
Just don't quit baby, don't you stop. But only trust in the Rock to blow up your spot, naw mean? Cause it's the-
[Chorus]
Shake down break down, Holy Ghost style; when you're all up in the mix battling for a while
And in the wilderness, ain't no need to stress. Just remember who you've got living in your chest
Shake down break down, ain't no need to fear. See how they roll when my Lord is near
With Jesus, them demons, they can't mess with us. Up in this shake down, so let it ride; let it bust
[Verse 2]
With God's law, hee-haw, right hooks to your jaw. You know what; you're the biggest little rat I ever saw
Want-to-be creator punk imitator, my God's greater; oh, I'm going to catch up with you sooner or later
I'm rolling through this dessert but you can't see me. The BIBLE has got me steady baby
Ain't no tipping ain't no topping, ain't no flipping ain't no stopping; till I reach the tippy-top, you know I'm going to keep on trotting
For sure I'm out to score and that's real. Cause see here's the deal, I'm throwing blows like Holyfield
And I will succeed. Why? I'm learning from the one that has defeated you; God the Son, Holy Ghost, and God the Father
So why bother? Men, I'll just keep on passing you by. Keep on dotting your eye, when I testify
I'm just going to stand still right here and let you do what you do. And let you think that I'm the one when it's you that's really through. Up in this-
[Chorus]
Shake down break down, Holy Ghost style; when you're all up in the mix battling for a while
And in the wilderness, ain't no need to stress. Just remember who you've got living in your chest
Shake down break down, ain't no need to fear. See how they roll when my Lord is near
With Jesus, them demons, they can't mess with us. Up in this shake down, so let it ride; let it bust
[Bridge]
What are you going to do when Lucifer comes for you? Will you stand strong boy, will you stay true?
Pomp-pomp, when the devil comes to lick off your head; to lick you with them blows that'll make you feel like you're going to be dead
I know that you never recognized when Jah opened your eyes, and you didn't realize boy, circumcise
No you really didn't know, but here we go in side of the shake down break down
[Chorus]
Shake down break down, Holy Ghost style; when you're all up in the mix battling for a while
And in the wilderness, ain't no need to stress. Just remember who you've got living in your chest
Shake down break down, ain't no need to fear. See how they roll when my Lord is near
With Jesus, them demons, they can't mess with us. Up in this shake down, so let it ride; let it bust
Shake down break down, Holy Ghost style; when you're all up in the mix battling for a while
And in the wilderness, ain't no need to stress. Just remember who you've got living in your chest
Shake down break down, ain't no need to fear. See how they roll when my Lord is near
With Jesus, them demons, they can't mess with us. Up in this shake down, so let it ride; let it bust
