Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The name's D-12, who the fuck are you?

We built this city from underground to mainstream too

You know your boy Kunives, 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 outta my biz

Yeah, ya 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 any time that we roll through your town

Hold the mic to the audience and yell out loud, we tell 'em

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

D-12, D-12

D-12, D-12

[Verse 2]

Yo, we thicker than thieves, it ain't hard to believe

We been rocking, but we still got tricks up our sleeves

Swifty is the name, Dirty Dozen's the gang

Known for cuffin' my nuts but still letting them hang

Habitual face slappers, so fuck if you like me

Show my face when I grin, punch you outta 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 likes 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 is wack, 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—

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

I skip bullets off of your face like rocks on water

It can happen automatically or semi-auto

Crack the bottle and serve something you can't swallow

It's gon' be hollow when I make my point, I smoke this joint

We came here to fuck shit up and tear shit down

But look at you now, under the ground, not to be found

You found out fucking around 'cause you a idiot

Slumped over the wheel, crashing into the median

Yeah, that karma hit yo' ass immediately

Guerrilla warfare, fighting like the Vietnamese

It's nothing but trees, guns, and Humvees

Closed mouths, disease, and chains with big swings

See, I don't have no dreams, I just do shit

I move shit like cartel, mass producing

So all my ****, where the fuck you at?

If it's fuck me, then fuck you back, let's tear this muthafucka down

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

You never done one relevant thing

Benolvant king, the sentiment stings

Suing, and for what? A settlement brings—

Don't meddle with kings, don't peddle with things you know nothing about

Swing for the fences, herrera revine

We turn it up to tear it down

Never compare the sound when the pounds gather around

'Cause what you found is like lightning in a bottle

With full throttle, toppling a model

Of hollow-hearted bitches we going semi-auto

Rat-a-tat-tat, you know they never coming back

Fatal attacks from tracks coming off of the racks, in fact

You wet this on him like a cheap suit, we see through

Buying your shitty rhymes from Temu, he's through

Pull him out, it's a deep root, reboot

Rocking a sweet line ,muthafuckas got sweet tooth

They call me 13, the worst thing, I'm thirsting

Ready to pop like I'm bursting and cursing

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]
