Lay It Down
Ernie K-Doe/Juan/Royce Da 5'9 Lyrics

Let me up in this bitch!
I want to be included in this group or activity

Yeah, sup Royce?
What's up Royce? How are you doing?

Dirty Glove Entertainment in this motherfucker
Dirty Glove Entertainment is present and accounted for in this situation

Let's go! (Karma side, karma-karma side)
Let's get started! (a reference to a fraternity chant)

Where you from nigga? (Karma side, karma-karma side)
What is your fraternity or gang affiliation? (a reference to a fraternity chant)

Yeah, I done shot a couple tools, I done got a couple fools
I have shot firearms and killed people who got in my way

In a lot of scuffles in war, I got a couple wounds
I have been in many fights and battles and have suffered injuries as a result

I've learned not to play it just to play it just to burn
I have learned not to waste my time or resources on frivolous things

I've learned not to say it, just return
I have learned not to speak or make promises that I cannot keep

Better spray it, let the metal blow
It's better to use firearms and shoot to kill

I ain't never scared but I'm way too paranoid to let it go
I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm too paranoid to let my guard down

That's why you can find me in your bushes with them blammers
I am constantly on the lookout for anyone who may be a threat, and I am armed with weapons

Seeing footsteps from your grandma, ready pulling back them hammers
I am so vigilant that I am even suspicious of innocent people, like grandmothers

I ride cause I'm skinny
I have to fight and defend myself because I am physically weak

Somebody 'bout to treat me like I'm Santa when I slide down your chimney
Someone is going to get a nasty surprise when they least expect it

With them semi-automatics or the Deserts with the heads
I am carrying high-powered firearms like semi-automatics or Deserts with silencers

With the hollows in the bag like a present for the kids
I am carrying hollow point bullets in my bag, like they are presents for children

With the mask and the beard and the belly, who you red
I'm wearing a mask and fake beard to conceal my identity, and I look intimidating

Leave you dead, witnesses looking like it ain't no telling who it is
I will kill you and make sure there are no witnesses to identify me

I'ma ride, I ain't trying other ways
I am going to fight and kill, I'm not trying any nonviolent approaches

I'ma kill just to live just to die another day, hey
I'll kill to stay alive, so I can live to kill another day

O.P., I'm from O.P.! (Karma side)
I'm from Old Park, and I'm representing them

O.P., I'm from O.P.! (Yeah I said it)
I'm not afraid to say where I'm from, it's Old Park

O.P., I'm from O.P.! (Hey)
I'm from Old Park, that's where I'm from

O.P., I'm from O.P.!
I'm from Old Park and I want everyone to know it

[Chorus:] Lay it down, lay it down, you hoes lay it down Lay it down, lay it down, the murder game down Lay it down, lay it down, don't let 'em play around
I'm ordering people to surrender or face being killed, and I'm telling them not to resist

I done flipped a ton of things
I have sold a lot of drugs or illegal items

Lift a couple lames off they feet nigga flipping with the gauge
I have used a gun to rob and steal from people who are weak or vulnerable

Nigga please I ain't bitching, I ain't 'fraid
I'm not afraid of anyone, and I'm not complaining about anything

Where I'm brave like a motherfucker pitching at your brain
I'm very daring and will take big risks to succeed

Here the D - that's where I'm from, get done
I'm from Detroit, and I'm not playing around

With this hundred-round drum, leave a nigga body slump
I am carrying a very large firearm with a hundred-round drum, which can easily kill someone

Like spice to the wizard{?}, was straight off the mizzy
I'm like a powerful drug to my enemies, and I'm always alert and ready

When I stay on the grizzly, and I write with that kizzy
I'm very aggressive and dangerous, and I'm also skilled at writing lyrics

What's beats? I'm a gangsta for real
I don't care about music or other entertainment, I'm a real gangster

If I feel you a threat I make you pay me to live
If I think you're a danger to me, I will force you to pay me money to stay alive

Royce hit me on that Nex' I send a gang to your crib
If Royce tells me you're a threat, I'll send my gang to your house to take care of you

With a pack of killer pitts, let 'em play with your kids
My gang is so violent they would even use killer pit bulls to harm innocent children

No slice, no bangs, just bikes and shanks
I used to deal drugs and carry firearms, but now I just use bikes and knives

Hit that red rum down, you won't like the taste
Drink my special drink made with blood (red rum), and you will die

You shouldn't be playing all wild when your life at stake
You shouldn't be acting recklessly when your life is in danger

I get your man gunned down for his shiesty eighth
I will have your associate killed for stealing from me

Man it's the whole rundown dawg, I'm like a eight
I'm the entire package, you can't touch me

Street Lord gorilla fam take your life away
My gang is ruthless and will kill you without hesitation

My name Juan, I ain't trying other ways
My name is Juan, and I'm going to fight and kill, I'm not trying any nonviolent approaches

7 Mile, I'm from 7 Mile! (Karma side)
I'm from 7 Mile, and I'm representing them

7 Mile, 7, 7 Mile! (Yeah I said it)
I'm not afraid to say where I'm from, it's 7 Mile

7 Mile, 7, 7 Mile! (Hey)
I'm from 7 Mile, that's where I'm from

7 Mile, 7, 7 Mile!
I'm from 7 Mile and I want everyone to know it

I done flipped a couple bricks, I done hit a few licks
I have sold a lot of drugs or illegal items, and I have robbed people

Even downed a couple hits, can't speak on this shit
I have even killed people, but I can't talk about it

But the case got dismissed
I was arrested, but the charges were dropped

And I looked at the snitch, blew his bitch ass a kiss
I saw the person who informed on me, and I taunted them by blowing them a kiss

Can't believe how the streets change, fears all on the 3-way
I'm surprised by how much the streets have changed, and now everyone is paranoid and scared

He say she say, work on the highway
People are spreading rumors and gossiping, while I'm just trying to make money honestly

Gotta do it my way, can't see myself caught
I have to do what's best for me, and I can't afford to get caught by the police or other criminal gangs

That ain't what the hood taught, keep stacks in a vault
My upbringing taught me to accumulate wealth and keep it stored safely

Just in case a nigga talk, call my nigga J
If anyone tries to rat me out, I'll have my friend J take care of them

He said now I get it popping off, 7 Mile niggas wit me
J is ready to fight and kill with me, and we're both from 7 Mile

Couple K's of it strictly, evidently y'all can't get me
We have high-powered firearms, and no one can stop us

It's a couple motherfuckers when they see you they gon' hit me (hello?)
There are a few people who want to kill me, and they will come after me when they see me

Shit, your head worth fifty
People are willing to pay a lot of money to see me dead

And I know the ? tempt me, niggas bank account empty
I'm aware that people are trying to set me up, but they have no money or resources

Joy Road, I'm from Joy Road! (Karma side)
I'm from Joy Road, and I'm representing them

Joy Road, I'm from Joy Road! (Yeah I said it)
I'm not afraid to say where I'm from, it's Joy Road

Joy Road, I'm from Joy Road nigga! (Hey)
I'm from Joy Road, that's where I'm from

Joy Road, I'm from Joy Road nigga!
I'm from Joy Road and I want everyone to know it
