Now Mystikal tell me how you put it down

[Mystikal]
I puts it down like my fucking braids
I puts it down like them 7 days of the unfertilized egg
I put it down like a punk do pussy
I put it down the way a fat bitch eat chocolate chip cookies
I put it down like it's 300 pounds, SPOT ME
I put it down the way Mr. T did the first time he fought Rocky
I put it down like trap doors and slippery floors
Put it all the way down like privates to stripper's clothes
I put it down the way you put down that shitty baby
I come to get down, but I put down on sheets of paper
They scared of it, the way I flow and how I think
I puts it down like the round out the tank

[Silk]
Told y'all nigga

That's it no more no less
But I got Mac, Kane & Abel up next
So Mac hit em with something
Tell em what they done got

[Mac]
Whoa I puts it down like them killers uptown
Or like when your momma catch you sucking something
That you shouldn't suck clown (boy put that down)
I puts it down like a live round murder murder
Or like them vegetarians do to hamburger
I puts it down like when the cops say freeze
Motherfucker put that pistol down put your hands up
And drop to your knees
And when you see me lay it down
Don't nobody make a sound you know
I spray it down if I catch you on my ground
I'm that nigga with that pistol
That hits you when you flex
And go to jail do 1 day and get out
Cause I got connections and umm
I puts it down like the last don
Soldiers get your blast on

[Kane & Abel]
I put it down like a nigga got snuck in the chin
Put it down like when the SGT holler give me 10
Put it down like cement shoes when they drop in the river
Put it down like my rocks when the po pos chasing a nigga
I put it down like a casket going down 6 feet
Or something like them dice when they bouncing off the street
Put it down like some shit when it hit the toilet
Put it down like some coke when I'm bout to boil it
Put it down like babies falling out the bed
I put it down like the soldier rag sagging on Mac head
Put it down like Pippen on a fast break
Put it down like freaks hitting the ground
After beat down on Jerry Springer tape
Wait put it down like shells hitting the ground
When I'm busting rounds
Put it down like beats by the motherfucking pound
KL in the 1st round

[Silk]
Mama Drama and Fiend up next

[Mia X]

With the mind of Nostradamus the bombest
Dropping on Pearl Harbor nigga yeah that's the way I lets it go
I puts it down like Reece at the stone show
I puts it down like four flats on the deserted row
With no gun, phone, or triple eight to save you hoes
I puts it down like mommsha's lips on Satan's dick
And you love it
I puts it down like yea ande glass, jars from waters bubbling
Still tubbling
I puts it down like Roy Jones' opponents
Looking up at the referees so haters you don't want none
I puts it down like sit down motherfucker be quiet
I puts it down like billy clubs smashing heads during the riot
Excited cause I puts it down like that niggas hands
When his fingers got a chance to feel past my underpants
I puts it down like order in the court no doubt
And lays it down like the motherfuckin rules in mama's house

[Fiend]
I come around hype put it down like how it sound like vicious
I put my name on my game style tight like a dyke does bitches
Watch me excite these bitches once they know who I be
Busting out the expedition ?
Did you see me on MTV blowing zone up in the zone
Put down my # on paper because I want to put a down on
I done clown zones, I'm a bust rounds on see I'm a Jones
And I put it down like Cedric fame by Louisiana up in the dome
See I'm blown but usually I'm foolie when I'm bad with the toolie
Putting it down like the first fan at I'm bout it the movie




Give me my tank and my duty pack a coolies and roll me a sweet
When I'm up in them seats put it down like my first week to meet
