Actually it's "I'm low down and I'm shifty" and IMO i think it means like, he's saying that he's a shady type, like low down means he's like the "i stab u in the back" type and the shifty pard means shady, underhanded type. Hope that helps!!

i actually think it means, he's low as in depressed/desperate, and shifty as in, he'd stab you in the back. so it's saying, "i'm fucking desperate to succeed, and i'll do anything i can at all to succeed"

i agree with lil_bayly ... kinda similar to the saying "low down and dirty" but instead of dirty he says shifty
like he's shady and unpredictable

No, it's a line from the chorus of a song from The Slim Shady EP, "Low, Down, Dirty".

If you look, it goes

REMEMBER ME? (I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK) - "Just Don't Give A Fuck"
REMEMBER ME? (YEAH FUCK YOU TOO!) - "Still Don't Give A Fuck"
REMEMBER ME? (I'M LOW DOWN AND I'M SHIFTY!) - "Low, Down, Dirty"
REMEMBER ME? (I'M SHADY!) - "I'm Shady"

Yeah I think people are aware of that. He was just asking what the line itself meant.
