[Verse 1: Fredro Starr]

I got struck by lightning and the thunder

Wilder than the shit from the tundra, no wonder (Pick 'em up!)

Help me up someone's pullin' me under

A scorcher, flame on the brain this is torture (Ooh! Yeah)

Terrible, horrible, sick shit I brought ya

Sacrifice the virgin, urbanized splurging

Split splice oper-fucking-ratin' like a surgeon

Write rhymes that got shot up bullet holes in the paper

Escape the madness, Onyx the baddest (Yep)

Souls of a soldier in the streets of survival

If you're blinded by the blackness, here's the gun to guide you

Fumble up crews, crumble up under pressure, God

It's hard, fuck you broke your tooth bitin'

[Chorus: Onyx]

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

[Verse 2: Suavé]

Come and just bust me, feel the real shit

Drill through your eardrum, hell yeah, I'm fearsome (Uh!)

My equilibrium is touched with the U.S.G. sickness

Contaminated with slickness (Ooh!)

Filthy, nasty, grungy facts of the wretched

I got it to flex it, crazy desperate to set shit

Yeah (Yeah), son, keep 'em on the run

If you wasn't a two, then you musta been the one

It's not a big case to erase who bass in my face

You'll just waste your time and blood, so you better play your space

'Cause if not some shit gonna get real stupid

And you and your man can't troop it!

[Chorus: Onyx]

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Shifftee! Shifftee! Shifftee!

[Bridge: Fredro Starr & Suavé]

Ay, you, you nasty ass! (What's up big fella?)

(Huh) Hey whatever whatever shit, the dirty desert dweller

Who said never? (All in together)

(Now I'ma show you how the Afficial niggas fuck it up)

[Chorus: Onyx]

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

[Verse 3: Sticky Fingaz]

One day I'ma rule the fuckin' world (What?), just mark my word

I got the filthiest shit human ears ever heard

And even if you wash my mouth out with soap

I'll still be as disgusting and despicable

Unpredictable, liable to flip my lid

My moms dropped me on my head, when I was a kid

Back then, I lost all my marbles, today I lost my job

So unless it's Armageddon somebody's bound to get robbed

Watch out! This could be you, I believe

With a gun in your face, it's better to give than receive (Uh-huh)

I'm more than meets the eye, energize

Make your blood pressure rise, Mad Face ain't no disguise (Guise, guise)

[Chorus: Onyx]

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

Shifftee! Low down, gritty and grimy

[Outro: Suavé]

Yeahhh!
