Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay your head on my pillow
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay your head on my pillow
Well it's B. to the O.B.
But by the end of the night
I bet the neighbors know my name
Wet sheets
Late nights
Weak knees
Long pipe
Put that poonya
On my face
Make me speak Japanese
Sayonara to the jokers
Who just beat too damn sweet
You be in the bedroom like c'mon beep
I do not tap out
Round two verus round three
'Cause I am never going down like Muhammad Ali
Call me Cassius
When we hit the mattress
You be like "oh yeah baby call me Randy Savage"
You say that you want me
But be careful what you asking
'Cause girl I beat it up
Just like Delta does your baggage
Lay your head on my pillow
Lay your head on my pillow
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay your head on my pillow
You're looking at me girl
And I ain't talking about
The look in your eyes
Me, my partner Nem is giving a standing ovation
Girl tonight
So go on stretch it out
'Cause I'm gonna work it good girl
And don't be bougie
'Cause tonight I need a hood girl
And I'm gonna tell my friends
I ain't coming out tonight
I'ma put this jimmy on
And rock that body right
Lay your head on my pillow
Lay your head on my pillow
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
In the song "Lay It Down" by Lloyd ft. B.o.B Rock City, the artists are singing about a night they are spending with a special someone. B.o.B starts off the song by introducing himself and promising the listener that by the end of the night, they will know his name. He then proceeds to boast about his bedroom skills and how he is never going down or tapping out when it comes to pleasing his partner. He even goes as far as saying that he can make his partner speak Japanese. Lloyd's verse compliments B.o.B's by telling his partner to stretch it out and that he's going to work it good. He also emphasizes the point that they don't need to be bougie, and that he wants a real "hood girl" for the night. Both artists then come together to sing the chorus urging the listener to lay their head down on their pillows and relax.
The song's lyrics, although explicit at times, are representative of a passionate and intimate encounter between two people. The use of phrases like "wet sheets," "weak knees," and "long pipe" allude to a steamy night in the bedroom. The artists emphasize that they want their partners to let go and surrender completely to the moment. The overall theme of the song seems to be about being in the moment and enjoying every bit of the pleasure that comes with it.
