Lay It Down
O.N.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Americans will be forever deep in the debt to the cash
A lesson passed down through history along with the blast
Of bullets answering questions that dead presidents asked
And you ain't gotta be ahead of ya class
To notice what's going on is a straight up attack
Against the constitution created 'as a way' to combat
This contagious type of corruption that's corrupting the facts
Of everything that they need to keep us dumb enough that
We don't even realize the freedom that's proceeding to crack
And crumble more every day that we choose to sit back
And do nothing till we become way to numb to react
To the destruction of our minds thru phones and iPads
And other countries wit drones being flown to attack
It's too late your stuck in the trap
Open up your eyes to the crooked lies and realize
It's about to go down it's about to go down
Is you asleep is you awake is you a sheep is you a snake
Cause i need to know now
Open up your eyes to the crooked lies and realize
It's about to go down it's about to go down
Is you asleep is you awake is you a sheep is you a snake
Cause i need to know now it's about to go down
It’s about to go down
Who am i
I’m that nigga with the smooth vibe
If i catch you cheating I’m like Schwarzenegger true lies
Due time will reveal what the present hides
In the presence of a king close your peasant eyes
I’m exceptional the rest of you should step aside
Only god can judge me but i bet the devil testifies
Huh
Notice i over emphasized
Best rapper alive
Some day is what i exemplify
But i’m all about my bread and grits
Love the smell of money i get hungry when i get a whiff
You're prejudiced
Like the southern army of confederates
I’ll never quit
Stomping bigot midgets like i’m 7’6
You small fries you should all die
Me i got the keys to the city you just a tour guide
And when i get back your shine stops
You’ll end up under ground in a plushly padded pine box
Open up your eyes to the crooked lies and realize
It's about to go down it's about to go down
Is you asleep is you awake is you a sheep is you a snake
Cause i need to know now
Open up your eyes to the crooked lies and realize
It's about to go down it's about to go down
Is you asleep is you awake is you a sheep is you a snake
Cause i need to know now it's about to go down
It’s about to go down
It’s going down like water flowing over the ground
Once there’s enough of us can’t hold us now
That’s when the levee breaks set in place can’t withstand the heavy weight
The floods of social injustice over top your petty gates
The reapers coming let’s see how many men he takes
I’m about to meditate y’all was asking for it anyways
It’s going down like the towers when they detonated
I’m bout to set it straight y’all should follow how we demonstrate
Open up your eyes to the crooked lies and realize
It's about to go down it's about to go down
Is you asleep is you awake is you a sheep is you a snake
Cause i need to know now
Open up your eyes to the crooked lies and realize
It's about to go down it's about to go down
Is you asleep is you awake is you a sheep is you a snake
Cause i need to know now it's about to go down
It’s about to go down
The lyrics of O.N.E's song "Lay It Down" are filled with political and social commentary on the state of America. He compares America's debt to a burial ground, suggesting that Americans are burdened by debt and forever indebted to the system of cash. He references the violent history of the country, with bullets "answering questions that dead presidents asked." In this sense, he critiques the system that has perpetuated violence and oppression, with a nod towards the Constitution, which he believes was created in response to this kind of corruption.
He suggests that people are too passive and that they need to open their eyes to the lies they are being told. The freedoms they enjoy are slowly being taken away, while they remain oblivious to the fact that their minds are being destroyed by technology and propaganda. The song also takes an autobiographical turn towards the end, with the artist highlighting his exceptionalism and confidence in his abilities as a rapper. The message of the song is clear - it's time for people to wake up and stand up against the injustice they face.
