A few weeks later, while Mark played a reggae tune on the guitar, Nasri suggested to start a band like "modern-day Police. 2012

(Check me out, girl
I'm at the magic floor, check my world)
Now I know you don't believe me when I say I do it right (trust me)
My confidence is peaking to be close to you tonight
Baby, this is human nature; let's turn up that guitar (guitar!)
Smoke a little vapor and stay up til the sun
I'm trying to lay you down easy
(La la la la la la lay you down easy, eh, yeah)
So love, I'm trying to lay you down easy (follow me, girl)
(L-l-lay, la la la la lay you down easy yeah)
(B-b-bang, bang, bang, bang)
Now I know you don't believe me when I say I mean no harm (no harm)
Uncertainty is fleeting, I'm inspired by your charm (haha) (inspired by your charm)
Imagine how I'm feeling falling inches from your grace
I feel like Robert Marley got me waitin' here in vain
Said I'm
I'm trying (please, gyal) to lay you down easy
(La la la la la la lay you down easy, eh, yeah) (B-b-bang, b-b-bang)
So love, I'm trying to lay you down easy
(La la la la la la lay you down easy, yeah)
(B-b-bang, bang, bang, bang, yeah)
Baby girl, don't ya know that's my style?
Easy breezy, makin' ye, all the while
Rub-a-dub-ah, we ah dance all night
Lovin' that ship, I'ma love your profile
Gyal, your body so hot, number one for my clock
And you, my bod tick right tonight
I want you rub up on me, you're insane, I'm magic
Love how you keep it tight
I'm trying to lay you down easy (follow me, girl)
(La la la la la la lay you down easy, eh, yeah)
So love, I'm trying to lay you down easy (follow me, girl)
(La la la la la la lay you down)
(Bang bang, yeah, eh)
Lay you down, lay you down easy (lay you down easy)
Lay you down, lay you down easy (lay you down, lay you down, baby girl)
Lay you down, lay you down easy (lay you down easy)
Lay you down, lay you down easy (lay you down, lay you down, baby girl)
The lyrics to Sean Paul's song Lay You Down Easy communicate a flirtatious and inviting message to a woman the singer is interested in. The chorus repeats the line "I'm trying to lay you down easy" in a soothing and calming tone, which can be interpreted as the singer's desire to make a romantic encounter between the two as comfortable and stress-free as possible. However, the lyrics leading up to the chorus reveal the singer's growing feelings of confidence and desire to be close to this woman, despite her initial hesitation to believe him. The singer employs imagery such as "smoke a little vapor and stay up til the sun" to evoke a carefree and romantic image of a night spent together. There is also a reference to Robert Marley, most likely Bob Marley, a famous Jamaican singer and musician, to emphasize the importance of this encounter to the singer.
Throughout the song, Sean Paul's Jamaican roots are evident in the use of terms such as "rub-a-dub-ah," a reference to a type of reggae music, and "gyal," a Jamaican term for a girl or woman. The use of patois, a dialect spoken in Jamaica, also adds to the authenticity of the song.
