Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down

Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down

I will lay it down, Boosie don't be playin' around
Boosie ain't got time for that
Boosie push your wig back
Boosie, here, take that; your chain and your braclet
Half my clique jack boys, they run up and attack boys
Turn niggas to track stars, when we get thirsty
We have these niggas running like Jackie Joyner-Kersee
You just started sipping lean, I'll take your purple drink
If I fall off again mayne, I'm runnin in the bank
You know I stay about that jacking, killing, robbing, and thugging
Whip ya head like cee-lo, slap ya like D-Bo
Go in his pocket, go in his drawers, go in his watch
Where that fetti mayne, told ya it's a recession mayne

Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down

All black hoodie, Trayvon Martin nigga
Put a hundred grand on Trayvon Martin's killer
Said a hundred bands, you can come and get it
Murders in the man, in the middle of the city
Bounce, I remember tryin' to flip her off
Sleepin on my baby mama's couch
What you pussy niggas talkin' 'bout?
No, them choppas good at hangin out
Lord tell them haters wanna climb aboard
Aboard, cuz this ain't what the fuck you lookin' for?
Ridin Roll's Royce through the fifth ward
Fuck a rap song, still I could flip boy

Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down

If I stumble across a brick, Lord be my shepherd
If a nigga try to take it better pray the Lord bless him
Trap house street nigga re-up every week witcha
Work by the boatload, get it for the cheap, nigga
Lay a nigga down like I'm layin' towel
Got a kill em', ain't no making trial
Bitch you know I got the and 1 makin' fouls
Ain't no hatin', wait till I move this 80 pounds
Ridin 36 O's like a bus nigga
Just to traffic this, I'mma need a truck nigga
Cause in the dope hole, it's just us nigga
Keep the choppa on me, I don't really trust niggas

Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down

Lay it down, lay it down
Fuck nigga lay it down
