[Chorus]

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down



[LL Cool J]

Diggedy down, down just look around, my world is goin' down

Disease is spreadin' everywhere, I can-cannot be found

This, the season for murder - isn't no reason

to hurt another brother but temptation is so pleasin'

And every alley-way, they're gettin' high

On playgrounds they're sellin' crack and every day another baby dies

Pistol whippin', kidnappin', anything can happen

Diggedy down, diggedy down with Old Trafford



[Chorus]

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down



[LL Cool J]

Young people, with no education, politicians, deny and segregation

Young infants, deserted and abandoned

Step parents, lack in understandin'

Homelessness, all across the land, war, man against man

Treachery and evil fillin' our communities

and all these hypocrites, aiyyo, they're stealin' from our charities



[Chorus]

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down



People are gettin' hurt, people are gettin' hurt up

People are gettin' done, people are gettin' done up (we gotta rise)

People are gettin' hurt, people are gettin' hurt up

People are gettin' done, people are gettin' done up (we gotta rise)

People are gettin' hurt, people are gettin' hurt up

People are gettin' done, people are gettin' done up (we gotta rise)

People are gettin' hurt, people are gettin' hurt up

People are gettin' done, people are gettin' done up



[Chorus]

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down



[LL Cool J]

Diggedy down, down just look around, my world is goin' down

Disease is spreadin' everywhere, I can-cannot be found

This, the season for murder - isn't no reason

to hurt another brother but temptation is so pleasin'

And every alley-way, they're gettin' high

On playgrounds they're sellin' crack and every day another baby dies

Pistol whippin', kidnappin', anything can happen

Diggedy down, diggedy down with Old Trafford



[Chorus]

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down



[LL Cool J]

Many poisonous chemicals and (uh) boom!

Many devilish goals are up (uh) soon!

No love where loves' ya dwell in

Mother-earth transformed into hell an'

Ice, murders, conspiracy and (uh) schemes!

Young boys will reveal their, dreams!

Handguns in the hands of the young

and diss all this paranoia, yo, there's much slugs for everyone



[Chorus]

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down



We need to rise (rise), as if we live with our eyes (eyes)

Stay away from the hate (hate), before it's too late (before it's too late)

We go ah...



[Chorus]

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down



We gotta rise...
