[Intro]
- Listen, I don’t care where he is. You get his ass on a plane and get in there on [?] right now
- Well, you know, they say he out of the country

- Alright
- I said get him
- Mr Biggs, I got you
- Right now'

[Verse 1]
Who's to blame
What's his name?
Where's he from?
Is that my Range he's drivin'...
Tell me what's he got that I ain't got alot of
Besides who is he to lay under covers in my home
Home. My home
Now lets not forget her, Mrs Can't-Trust
I was wrong about her ass
She's nothing like my mother
God rest her soul
Ohhhh
Took her of these streets gave her everything
The only one who believed in all of her dreams and she did me wrong
So prepare yourself, it's about to be a...

[Chorus]
Showdown is going down
Somebody's been fooling around in my home
Wearing my clothes
Driving my car
God help me
Showdown is going down
Somebody's been fooling around in my home
Two words that I have to say
"It's on"

[Verse 2]
Now first things first, gonna need some names
Wheres this cat from
An address to his place
I'm serious
T.J., follow him wherever he goes
Once this all over nobody knows
About nothing..
And if Asia's with him
Then just lay back, wait 'til he's alone
It may be a trap
And, don't screw this up
Prepare yourself, it's about to be a...

[Chorus]
Showdown is going down
Somebody's been fooling around in my home
Wearing my clothes
Driving my car
God help me
Showdown is going down
Somebody's been fooling around in my home
I only got two words to say:
"Its on"

[Verse 3]
Now, this is madder than I've ever been
No more
See, I've been holding all this drama in
This means war
Hold me back, I'm 'bout to do something
Oh, mama...
Because I'm sick of all this creeping around on me
War
Said my piece in church and now it's on
T.J
Saddle up my horses, then I'm gone
We'll take a ride to town
I'll have revenge because they did me wrong
Prepare yourself, its 'bout to me a...

[Chorus]
Showdown is going down
Somebody's been fooling around in my home
Wearing my clothes
Driving my car
God help me
Showdown is going down
Somebody's been fooling around in my home
Only got two words to say:
"It's on"

[Outro]
Showdown is going down
Somebody's been fooling around in my home
Wearing my clothes
Driving my car
God help me
Showdown is going down
Somebody's been fooling around in my home
I swear to God when I catch 'em
It's on

The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley, Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the “longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music”.

Alongside a fourth brother, Vernon, the group originally performed gospel music until Vernon’s death a few years after its original formation. After moving to the New York City area in the late 1950s, the group had modest chart successes during their early years, first coming to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, “Shout”, written by the three brothers. Initially a modest charted single, the song eventually sold over a million copies. Afterwards the group recorded modestly successful works for a variety of labels, including the top 20 single, “Twist and Shout” and the Motown single, “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” before recording and issuing the Grammy Award-winning hit, “It’s Your Thing” on their own label, T-Neck Records.
