[Intro: Ludacris]

Disturbing Tha Peace, Def Jam South

Chris (Yeah), you ready?

Oh it's my turn? Aight


[Verse 1: Ludacris]

I got permission to put yo mamma in a headlock (What?)

She tried to took me in a figure-fo' leg lock (Ohh)

She said she like the way I stick and make the bed rock

Or how I lick and leave her twisted like a dreadlock, and it's on

So stop the sweatin' like a wristband

And get some balance like a bike without the kickstand

I think I changed the definition of a hit man

'Cause I could really give a fuck about that bitch, man, c'mon!

We puttin' holes in your residence

And lose anybody for the right president

We thugged out street niggas with intelligence

So all that bullshit you yappin' is irrelevant, oh yeah

I represent the Dirty Southside

I'm a dentist makin' women open they mouth wide

Could be in jail still runnin' it on the outside

Thank not then won't you open up yo mouth riiight, but who cares?

[Chorus: I-20, Ludacris]

I got my corner on lockdown

About to hold this whole block down

Ludacris, tell 'em how the South sound

Ooh! Graaa! Ooh-ooh-ooh, graaa!

Ooh! Graaa! Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

I got my corner on lockdown

About to hold this whole block down

Ludacris, tell 'em how the South sound

Ooh! Graaa! Ooh-ooh-ooh, graaa!

Ooh! Graaa! Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh


[Verse 2: Ludacris]

Comin' to Shady Park is like a peep show

It's some respectable ladies and there some freak hoes

I know killers that go to church up in they street clothes

You'll end up missin' more than Shaq when shootin' free throws

They packin' and bout to open up the dope spot

My neighborhood is stoppin' cars like a roadblock

They movin' weight like Atlanta was movin' boat rock

And catchin' ums like seein' Muslims eatin' pork chops - never happen

And meanwhile I been thinkin' man

Niggas started slangin' tapes like they slangin' 'caine

'Cause in the hood its gettin' ugly like orangutan

So if you tryin' to stop the hustle get the dangalang

Okay, we tryin' to make our own White House

Paint it black and start yellin' our fuckin' pipes out

You try to tackle some players and you'll get psyched out

They can't fuck with us niggas you think they dyked out, so don't play

[Chorus: I-20, Ludacris]

I got my corner on lockdown

About to hold this whole block down

Ludacris, tell 'em how the South sound

Ooh! Graaa! Ooh-ooh-ooh, graaa!

Ooh! Graaa! Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

I got my corner on lockdown

About to hold this whole block down

Ludacris, tell 'em how the South sound

Ooh! Graaa! Ooh-ooh-ooh, graaa!

Ooh! Graaa! Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh


[Verse 3: Ludacris]

Disturbing Tha Peace, we do that monkey shit

Hey, what can I say? We got a monkey clique

See Drae'll throw on them shades, and make that funky shit

And keep y'all women away if they got funky clit, understand

We got that dough and it get rolled up

You pay the price and still we got the block sold up

Ain't nothin' nice a full house don't make you fold up

You full of heist and try to jet and I'm like, "Hold up, goddamn"

I need to say it on a megaphone

And tell your sister get the fuck up off the telephone

These fools is tickin' me off like fifty metronome

I'm takin' all of yo money just call me Pebbletone, alright?

I got the pistol and the safe key

You betta tell your bitch to follow you to safety

How dare you wanna be heroes and tryna chase me

It's Ludacris won't leave no evidence to trace me, you know why?

[Chorus: I-20, Ludacris]

I got my corner on lockdown

About to hold this whole block down

Ludacris, tell 'em how the South sound

Ooh! Graaa! Ooh-ooh-ooh, graaa!

Ooh! Graaa! Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

I got my corner on lockdown

About to hold this whole block down

Ludacris, tell 'em how the South sound

Ooh! Graaa! Ooh-ooh-ooh, graaa!

Ooh! Graaa! Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh


[Outro: Ludacris]

Do that monkey shit, oh

Do that monkey shit, oh

Do that monkey shit, oh

Do that monkey shit, uh

Do that monkey shit, uh

Do that monkey shit

Do that monkey shit
