Drake ft The Dream – Shut It Down Lyrics

[Drake]
These girls ain’t got nothing on you
uhh, say baby I had to mention
that if you were a star you’d be the one I’m searching for
all the girls they got attention
but I just always feel like there in need of something you got
its obvious you’re pretty
heard that your a student working weekends in the city
trying to take you out girl, hope your not too busy
and if there’s nothing wrong, got this little song
for you to get ready to
put those f-cking heels on and work it girl
let that mirror show you what your doing
put that f-cking dress on and work it kind of vicious
like somebody’s taking pictures

[Chorus]
shut it down down down
you would shut it down down down
you be the baddest girl around round round
and they notice they notice
you would shut it down down down
you be the baddest girl around round round
and they notice they notice
you would shut it, hey oh
these girls aint got nothing on you,
nothing on you

[The Dream]
Girl you’re the greatest
and if he say you aint
girl he’s out his mind
you’re the finest
and if he say you aint
that boy done lost his mind
hey baby, everytime you come around
shut it down like computers
hey lady, step into my heart
and put you in the louboutins,

what you want
What you need
I can be (I can be)
your everything
(who knew)
them other n-ggas
just wanna hit it but if they had it
wouldn’t know what to do with it
(and together)

[Drake & The Dream]
we shut it down down down
they know we shut it down down down
your the baddest girl around, round round
they know this, they know this
(repeated)

[The Dream]
TMZ, Concrete loop
you shut that muthf-cker down down
ice cream conversations they all want the scoop
you shut that muthaf-cker down down down

[Drake]
Shooting Stars all around her, fire. comets.
I could bring her through and shut them down, Onyx
No, you’re not imagining, they’re looking at you long stares
Even though she’s standing out she looks like she belongs here
You feel the hours pass, until you find somethin’
I feel like when she moves – the time doesn’t
yeah, baby you finer than your fine cousin
and your cousin fine, but she don’t have my heart beating in double time
you just shut it down, girl
who told the cops where the party was?
why do I feel like I found The One?
What’s in these shots that you ordered us?
damn. I mean you sure know how to paint a town
ever since you came around its obvious you shut it down

You shut that sh-t down (down down down)
you shut it down (down down down)
you shut it down (down down down)
you shut it down (down down down)
you shut it down (down down down)
you shut it, ohh

[Drake]
You know this, you know this

[The Dream]
you looking good girl
go go go get em girl,
go go go go hit em girl
go go go go go go
you shut it down

[Drake - Verse 3]
The way I’m feelin’
Things I say
All just happen
When you pass my way
What can I do
To make you stay?
I know it’s gettin’ late
But girl I don’t want you to leave
You tell me you’re just not the type
You wanna do this right
And I’m not tryna say I don’t believe you
But I refuse to feel ashamed
And if you feel the same
This wait ain’t gonna make us better people
Take those f-ckin’ heels off, it’s worth it girl
Nothin’ is what I can picture you in
So take that f-ckin’ dress off, I swear you won’t forget me
You’ll be happy that you let me lay you down down down
I’m tryna lay you down down down
You still the baddest girl around round round
They notice they notice
Let me lay you down down down
Tryna lay you down down down
You still the baddest girl around round round
And they notice they notice
You would shut it…
[end]

Props: Dillan & Steoea for Drake’s third verse lyrics which was a super late addition to the track. Thanks to everyone else who helped with the lyrics. Peace.

Is this track better than “Over”. Let me know what you think.

    nice! smooth track! some corrections:
    “uhh, say baby I had the mansion
    but if you were a star you’d be the one I’m searching for”
    should be:
    “uhh, say baby I had to mention
    that if you were a star you’d be the one I’m searching for”

    “all the girls they got attention
    but I just always feel like there in need of something you got
    (?) is she pretty”
    should be:
    “other girls they got attention
    but I just always feel like they’re in need of something you got
    obvious you’re pretty”

    “put that f-cking dress on and work it kind of (?)”
    should be:
    “put that f-cking dress on and work it kind of vicious”

    you also forgot to add a few lines to the part where drake and dream sing the chorus together for the first time….. but great job man! props!

    i think this is a good song i dont think you can really compare over and shut it down cuz they are two different types of songs over is more of a song to ride to while shut it down is more of a grind song. i just think that this song just proves that drake is so talented that he can branch into pretty much any type of genre of music

  22. Terick on April 1st, 2010 8:37 am

    I like it he’s tryna make an album that’s not one dimensional… I don’t wanna listen to an album when every damn song sounds the same and this song is cold as shit. Something you can ride smooth to with ya girl in the passenger seat.. : D

    Anyone else have a version that has more to it?
    The one I have is seven minutes and has Drake singing
    “The way I’m feeling, the things I say
    All just happen, when you pass my way
    what can I do to make you stay
    I know its getting late
    but girl I don’t want you to leave
    you tell me you’re just not the type
    Wanna do this right
    And I’m not tryin to say I don’t believe you
    But I refuse to feel ashamed
    And if you feel the same
    Just wait and really make us better people
    Take those f-in heels off its worth it girl
    Nothing is what I can picture you in
    So take that f-in dress off I swear you won’t forget me
    You’ll be happy that you let me lay you down down down
    Tryin to lay you down down down
    You still the baddest girl around round round

    Yeah, I just wanted to add the rest of the lyrics on the 6:59 version, the last verse Drake drops after the first 5 or so minutes end… So here they go:

    The way I’m feelin’
    Things I say
    All just happen
    When you pass my way
    What can I do
    To make you stay?
    I know it’s gettin’ late

    You tell me you’re just not the type

    you people are dumb.. if you followed drake, not just his music he writes for all of his fans.. not just men. So doing a song for ladies was appropriate. He doesn’t need to do it for the record sales, the hype, publicity or none of that.. he does it to make allll of his fans happy.

    [Reply]

  46. NKurt4 on August 27th, 2010 8:55 am

    The way I hear the third line of this sequence:

    But I refuse to feel ashamed
    And if you feel the same
    “This wait ain’t gonna make us better people”

    I think actually is:

    But I refuse to feel ashamed
    And if you feel the same
    ~Does waiting really make us better people?~

    Bomb song either way.

    Drake is just fantastic at this thing he do ppl who can sing better than him aint making as much money as him bet cuz his style flow and lyrics is baffling. Noone can do his genre like he does i wouln’t even enter the game with him in the booth i’d wait til his time is over and who the hell knows when that’s gonna come.
