-You comin' wack on the mic you needa put it down
smokin crack outta pipe you needa put it down
-livin past all the hype I put it down
to the last of my life I put it down

-JOHN DOUGH yea i put it down
mc's make way when i come around
-Let's Go! follow me out
of the atmosphere, there's no longer a doubt
-we could rise above you fake jakes takin my papes
shoulda listened to my crew bitch we raisin the stakes
-we keep the riddim true never lettin it waste
first on the podium yea we takin a place
-to my people: I still pay what i owe to them
and on the mic i'm finna say what I know to them

-the heat is obvious, peep the opulence
flows problematic like a fleet of romulans
-TONY DIAMONDS and elite's synonymous
please don't ever settle and just be anonymous
-me against the world? i'll defeat the populous
roll a swisher sweet then i greet the audience
- every time i get a beat, i body it
haters talk shit then retreat to copy it
-gettin paid wit the homie john dough sonny
mo money mo money mo money

-always comin thru with cash when i put it down
everybody know i mash when i put it down
-everybody hit the gas when i put it down
everybody finna dash when i put it down

-stop comin wack, if that's how you do it
either grab the mic and let it flow like fluid
-or put it down, darn it, for pete's sake
its no wonder we gotta repeat it on each break
-anyways, i could go on for days
about people and their ignorant ways
-and my crew we never follow a phase
we continue through all - unphased!
-leave a crowd in stitches - all amazed
and walk away with the mic after i put it down

-verse 2, unless i reform the order
art class, i used to ignore the borders
-i remember pops used to holla keep it down
when that 808 hit, you could peep the frown/but
-i prefer rugged tracks so my beats tough
when i spit a fuckin rap its unique stuff
-independent, not an overgrown vulture
i be chippin suckas off like a stone sculpture
-i be airin haters out they get ventilated/ that's
number one like number two they get eliminated

-put it down X 8
