{Verse 1: Open Mike Eagle}
Yeah, Yeah
They call me when ninja people attack the street
My president's black and y'all gon' give him back to me
I spend half the week trainin' and doin' tournaments
I spar with gangbangers with janky shurikens
It's too late now, you out of chances, bro
Yo' hands is low, gotta hail an ambulance to go
Direct hit over glancin' blow, a scraped knee, pay me, not the ransom note

[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle]
I'm super woke, so my eyes open, don't provoke when i'm sidescrollin'
Street sweeper, peace keeper, two cellulars, three beepers
You dignified with a simple mind and that cash got you all hypnotized
Laptop but no end design so they don't watch what they gentrify, yeah
Beat down (Beat down)
Beat down (Beat down)
Beatdown City, we gon' whup yo' ass
Beat down (Beat down)
Beat down (Beat down)
Beatdown City, we gon' whup yo' ass
Beat down (Beat down)
Beat down (Beat down)
Beatdown City, we gon' whup yo' ass
Beat down (Beat down)
Beat down (Beat down)
Beatdown City, we gon' whup yo' ass
{Verse 2: Open Mike Eagle}
I'm fightin' real people and fightin' ninja teams
It's black and white plus every color that's in between
I fight when gangs attack me , I fight to hail a taxi
Ain't no once in a while, fighting's a daily happening
And the reason why, I can't say exactly
I was known as the Apache of 8th and Lansing
I'll make it fancy, fighting or break dancing
I hit a back brain kick after my eighth handspring
Ain't no friends: backstabbers and knife twisters
I fight bikers, both motor and bicycler
I'm just like you, I'm a product of my environ
I'm half brick and one sixteenth tire iron
This ain't no slap boxin', we don't pretend to scuffle
I make the whole rule book and still will bend a couple
I fight like big companies over business struggles
Or anime heroes do when they friends in trouble
It ain't gotta be noble, I fight for stupid reasons
I find a reason to fight against any human breathin'
If I'm on your block, you need to tell a doctor
I'm hella big and I'm about to punch a helicopter

[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle]
I'm super woke, so my eyes open, don't provoke when i'm sidescrollin'
Street sweeper, peace keeper, two cellulars, three beepers
You dignified with a simple mind and that cash got you all hypnotized
Laptop but no end design so they don't watch what they gentrify, yeah
Beat down (Beat down)
Beat down (Beat down)
Beatdown City, we gon' whup yo' ass
Beat down (Beat down)
Beat down (Beat down)
Beatdown City, we gon' whup yo' ass
Beat down (Beat down)
Beat down (Beat down)
Beatdown City, we gon' whup yo' ass
Beat down (Beat down)
Beat down (Beat down)
Beatdown City, we gon' whup yo' ass
