Tear It Down (feat. Xzibit & B-Real)

The name's d-1-2, who the fuck are you?
We built this city, from underground to mainstream too
You know your boy connives, I pull out knives
If the blade breaks then I'm forced to pull out 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
Still I'm motown raised, the whole crowd is amazed
Either way I decide to flow, they go with the wave
Had a hell of a night, not only that I can fight
Kicked a hole in the speaker, promoter's money was light
My daughter told me I rizz, I don't know what that is
Still I gotta tell your girl to stay up out of my 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
You know it's lit anytime that we roll through your town
Hold a mic to the audience and yell out loud, we tell 'em

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

D-1-2, d-1-2, d-1-2, d-1-2

Yo, we thicker than thieves, it ain't hard to believe
Been rocking but we still got tricks up our sleeves
Swifty is the name, dirty dozen's the gang
Known for cuffing my nuts but still letting 'em 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, never fake I'm too real
Even my doctor know I'm sick, she tried to slide me a pill
On the road to success, ain't getting off I'm too blessed
Who said it's lonely at the top, I'm watching honey undress
She like my taco meat, my chest hair, my physique
My detroit state of mind and the way that I speak
Y'all sing the crowd lullabies, y'all just rock 'em to sleep
Plus your stage show was whack, your performance is weak
That's why I signal to the audience, they nod and agree
Then I stage-dive on 'em, then right after I leap, I yell

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

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

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

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

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
