[Intro: Shaggy 2 Dope]
This one goes out to the ninjas
That's been down since Carnival of Carnage
Nah, fuck that, since Dog Beats
Nah, fuck that, since Bass-ment Cuts, mother fucker!

[Verse 1: Violent J]
How long will the juggalos be down with me?
How long ’til they forget me? Check it out
What if I grew another fuckin' head
And his name was Violent Ed
And he'd head butt me every time I cussed
I would need two microphones when I bust
Would you show me love even with another head
Or would you be like, "Fuck you and Ed!"
Or what if you heard about the one time
That I picked that kid up and broke his spine
Threw him in the street and went and got my old Volare
I ran him down a couple times. Hey, I’m sorry
I don't mean to be a killer, but it made me laugh
To see his neck tangled up in the drive shaft
I do a lot of dumb shit. It's true, I know
But I don't want you to forget me like Menudo

[Chorus: Shaggy 2 Dope]
What about when the world's like fuck us kill us
What will you be? (Down!)
What about when I'm 103?
What will you be? (Down! Down!)
What about when the world's like fuck us kill us
What will you be? (Down!)
What about when the carnival comes to your town?
(I'ma be down with the clown!)

[Verse 2: Violent J]
How long will you be down with a ghetto puppet
I say I’m sick in the nugget, and you love it
I ate a dead body, I ain’t proud of it
I told you all about it, and you all applauded (Hey!)
I got problems, I'm haunted by a carnival
I could run and tell a doctor, but what for?
I just put it on tape with a fat beat
And make a quick buck. I’m like, "Fuck!"
I'm glad I didn't tell ya 'bout the time that my 9-millimeter rung out
A kid’s brain flung out *gunshot*
I didn't mean it. I really didn't want him dead
I shot a bullet; he tried to catch it with his head
It started when he hit me. Well, I don't wanna trip
He missed me, but he busted Ed in the lip
Look, I don't even know what I'm trying to say
Just don't forget me like you did with Rob Base

[Chorus: Shaggy 2 Dope]
What about when the world's like fuck us kill us
What will you be? (Down!)
What about when I'm 103?
What will you be? (Down! Down!)
What about when the world's like fuck us kill us
What will you be? (Down!)
What about when the carnival comes to your town?
(I'ma be down with the clown!)

[Bridge]
I'ma be down, I'ma be down
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground
I'ma be down, I'ma be down
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground

[Verse 3: Violent J]
Rather than let somebody first see me do it
I'd rather come straight out and hip ya to it
Sometimes, I know this might sound scary
But I like to creep naked through the cemetery (What the fuck?)
I dig bodies up and throw 'em in the truck
Take 'em to the house and watch Stranglemania (Whoop whoop!)
Before dawn, I throw 'em back in the pit
But I know you wouldn't hoe me over that shit

[Chorus: Shaggy 2 Dope]
What about when the world's like fuck us kill us
What will you be? (Down!)
What about when I'm 103?
What will you be? (Down! Down!)
What about when the world's like fuck us kill us
What will you be? (Down!)
What about when the carnival comes to your town?
(I'ma be down with the clown!)

[Outro]
I'ma be down, I'ma be down
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground
I'ma be down, I'ma be down
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Yeah)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Yeah)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Heh heh heh heh. Give it to me!)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down (Clown love!)
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Clown love)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down (Yeah)
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Heh heh heh heh. Give it to me!)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down (Clown love!)
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Clown love!)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down (Juggalos!)
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground ([?])
I'ma be down, I'ma be down (Yeah)
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Southwest, Southwest)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down (Southwest Juggalos)
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Give it to me!)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down (Yeah)
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Southwest)
I'ma be down, I'ma be down (Where ya at? Where ya at? Where ya at?) (Clown love! Clown love!)
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground (Woo)
