[Intro: hyphy drums and the wobbling keyboard bass, no sub yet] Speakers in the trunk and the trunk wide open Fourteen cars on the block and the hoods still smoking [Verse 1] Saturday at two and the whole block's going dumb Trunk full of speakers and a cooler full of rum Cousin on the hood doing dances on the paint Grandma in a lawn chair yelling, boy, you know you can't Then the screen door slams and here comes Mr. Lee Robe and slippers, coffee mug, and he's pointing right at me Says, I work a night shift, son, I'm trying to sleep I said, take a plate, unc, the ribs ain't cheap Twenty minutes later Mr. Lee is on the hood Robe flapping in the wind like he always knew he could [Hook] Keep it down? All right, I'll keep it low Scraping on the ground everywhere we go Every one that came here to shut us out Ended up going dumb, so keep it down [Verse 2] Then the landlord pulls up in a little white sedan Clipboard and a frown, he's a paperwork man Says, the lease says quiet after ten on a Saturday I said, it's two in the afternoon, so what's the matter, eh? Handed him a soda and a seat on the cooler Twenty minutes later he's ghost riding like a ruler Then the cruiser rolls up and the lights start to spin Two officers stepping out with a look like, here we go again Officer said, son, you got a permit for this? I said, sir, you got a permit for them hips? [Hook] Keep it down? All right, I'll keep it low Scraping on the ground everywhere we go Every one that came here to shut us out Ended up going dumb, so keep it down [Verse 3: the sub bass finally hits] Then the councilwoman pulls up with a speech and a frown Pantsuit and a flag pin, she's here to shut it down Said, I got forty calls, and I got an election I said, ma'am, look around, here's forty votes in your direction She looked at Mr. Lee, she looked at the cops She looked at the landlord doing splits on the box Kicked off both heels, and she climbed up on the hood of the cruiser Now the city council's begging for the name of the producer [Bridge: drums and that low bass] Neighbor came to stop it, now he's up on the hood Landlord came to stop it, and he's moving pretty good Cops came to stop it, now they spinning on the curb Councilwoman came to stop it, and she ain't said a word [Final Hook] Keep it down? All right, I'll keep it low Scraping on the ground everywhere we go Everybody came to shut us out Kept it down so low that we took the town [Outro: the bass rides out] Monday in the paper, see the councilwoman grin Headline says, the block won, and the bass is moving in [End]
