Lay Low
French Montana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got your bitch on the way
I got the album on the way
You better tell them niggas lay low
Dom Periogn P Boss my life like a seesaw
Up downs goodness to foulness and we are
The most infamous on the planet earth because
When niggas push we shove
The thick magazines and the big black things
Catch them in the spot give
Their eyes black rings
It's that Mobb Deep Montana Montega
Cociena that cheeba smoke rap pass the reefa
Tattoos exotic cars and girls
With deep throats
Pretty lips and eyes yeah yeah we keep those
Fuck good eat good getting that good money
My life is fuckin awesome they trying
To take it from me
100 rounds in the K
I got your bitch on the way
I got the album on the way
You better tell them niggas lay low
Black tee black v black on
Power naps power moves I'm back on it
Yellow lean yellow watch yellow bent
Milla drop milli cop millitent
Pilli blocks Philly bitch from Philippines
She feel the watch feel them
Shots I fill a beam
In the streets you live a short stop
Either you sling crack rocks or
You sell the whole top fold back
Mike Jack Mike Tyson Mike Jordan
I been there you been square I been gone
I shoot straight choosed weight
I shoot to kill fitted cap 50 shoes 50 bills
100 rounds in the K
I got your bitch on the way
I got the album on the way
You better tell them niggas lay low
The lyrics of "Lay Low" by French Montana convey a sense of power, bravado, and dominance. The opening lines, "100 rounds in the K, I got your bitch on the way, I got the album on the way, you better tell them niggas lay low," depict a scene of someone asserting control and warning others to stay out of their way. The mention of having rounds in the K (referring to a firearm) and having someone's partner on their way implies a readiness for confrontation and a willingness to protect what is theirs.
The following lines introduce the persona of French Montana as a boss-like figure, compared to P Boss, living a life of ups and downs, moving between goodness and foulness. The reference to being "the most infamous on the planet earth" suggests a reputation for being dominant and ruthless. The mention of thick magazines and big black things indicates a readiness for physical confrontation, reinforcing the theme of power and intimidation.
Throughout the song, the lyrics highlight a lavish lifestyle, expressing indulgence in luxury vehicles, exotic women, and material possessions. The references to tattoos, exotic cars, deep-throated girls, and the pursuit of money add an element of hedonism and excess. The line "My life is fuckin awesome, they trying to take it from me" speaks to the persona's awareness of their success and the envy or threats they may face because of it.
Overall, "Lay Low" portrays a persona who is unapologetically asserting their dominance, flaunting their wealth and power, and warning others to stay out of their way.
