Chorus:
You better watch yourself,
Down in the South,
We don't take disrespect,
Down in the South;
You better watch yourself,
Down in the South,
Niggas here lose their neck,
Down in the South.

Verse One:
It's not the Wild Wild West
Down here's, the Dirty South
Where we're known for gripping grain
And keeping gold in our mouth;
Don't come round here talking slick
Or you'll get ran out the town,
Got a posse full of outlaws
Known for putting it down;
Quick to put your ass to sleep
You won't remember a sound,
Have your people looking for you
Tucked in lost and found;
If you get to talking big
Might find you sleep underground,
Down here, we play for keeps
There ain't no playing around;
Roll the dice but roll'em right
Know that you play for your life,
One wrong step and you can bet
You can get smoked like a pipe;
Have your picture on a shirt
Forever resting in dirt,
So much pain from your momma's cries
That your soul feels the hurt;
We've been marked for death since birth
But still we're making it work,
Keeping 4-4 by our side
While watching niggas that lurk;
And police in my area
Seem to all go berserk,
When they see us coming through
They know we put them to work.
(Rang the Alert)

Chorus:
You better watch yourself,
Down in the South,
We don't take disrespect,
Down in the South;
You better watch yourself,
Down in the South,
Niggas here lose their neck,
Down in the South.
Over Chorus:
Down here, down here

Verse Two:
Saddle up let's take a ride
Down here, to my side
Where your life could be cut short,
In the twinkle of an eye;
Where your quick to get locked up
Even with alibis,
That's just how the world turns
Everyday of our lives;
Find it hard to keep composure
But Lord knows that I try,
Do my best to save a nation
From it's own genocide;
Know for years them jackets lied
Since they caused the divide,
Got us trying to kill each other
Over blue and red ties;
Over Black and White lines
It's time you open your eyes,
Know the devil is alive
He's just in a disguise;
Putting mad shit on your brain
Can't tell the truth from the lies,
Got you living your life angry
Like the Lord of the Flies;
If you think this place is fair
Then your in for a surprise,
From Wild West to Dirty South
And in the East where it rise;
They keep calling it a game
But never seen what's the prize,
While others learn to invest
We only learn to survive.
(Just stay alive)

Chorus:
You better watch yourself,
Down in the South,
We don't take disrespect,
Down in the South;
You better watch yourself,
Down in the South,
Niggas here lose their neck,
Down in the South.
Over Chorus:
Down here, down here

Verse Three:
Niggas quick to run up on you strapped
And leave your body in a ditch,
God bless your soul,
Police frame you and tell you'll get years
If you don't become a snitch,
Their hearts are cold;
Trying to keep your head above water
While the rich get even more rich,
Chasing that gold,
Knowing that they're wrong cause when you
Walk by all they seem to do is flinch,
Hate takes it's toll;
Raised to keep it real, my nigga
Know how you feel
Where it seems our only options
Are to kill or be killed;
See another brother murdered
Like Philando Castile,
All the systematic hatred
Signed in bill after bill;
Never let them see you scared
When they get in your grill,
Tell them God made me a man
And I'm going to stand a man still;
You can try to force your will
But your just wasting your time,
Know the South taught me resilience
There's no stopping my shine.
(I'm getting mine)

Chorus:
You better watch yourself,
Down in the South,
We don't take disrespect,
Down in the South;
You better watch yourself,
Down in the South,
Niggas here lose their neck,
Down in the South.
Over Chorus:
Down here, down here
After Final Chorus:
God bless your soul,
Their hearts are cold,
Chasing that gold,
Hate takes it's toll.
