Down Bad

Tell 'em, slime

Yeah, I am the king of the E.A.​

Get this ***** screwed like the DJ (Big slime)

Yeah, I am the **** where we play

We got them choppers where we play (Okay)

Yeah, come through the city

We gon' chop your ass up just like some sushi (Yeah)

AK-47, stick go stupid (Yeah)

Drop the money off on the way...

Okay, lil' dirty, nappy-headed East Atlanta *****

Father said that I was a force

.44, Hank Aaron chrome

Wanna make it home? Then get out the Porsche

Let a ***** cover FADER 'fore I have to fade a ***** at the FADER Fort

It's tomato or tomato, either way, the boy the greatest

Play it, I won't say it no more

I was just ****ed up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the **** up, but I'm here for the crown

Board of Education vs. Brown

I was bored of education, left the town

**** a résumé and **** a cap and gown

**** a background check back 'round when I get the check

*****, that's now

I was just ****ed up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the **** up, but I'm here for the crown, crown (Oh, ****)

I was just ****ed up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the **** up, but I'm here for the crown, crown, crown, crown

I was just ****ed up, I was just down, down bad

Picked up the pad, picked up the slack

Pick of the litter, don't litter no bag

Bassy been pickin' up racks, raps comin' clearer than Acuvue 2

And I'm back in the booth

Got 'em hackin' a Shaq 'cause they lackin' the juice

*****s droppin' the ball, they on Shaqtin' a Fool

Actavis drool down the side of yo face

We ain't jackin' it, we ain't dappin' them fools

Get a napkin, you dudes is embarassin'

Who going crazy like us? No comparison

Dreamville like Marion Jones on the steroids

Y'all *****s slow as a ****** high

Y'all had a year, y'all had a year?

Y'all had a year, but you let it go by

Yee

I was just ****ed up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the **** up, but I'm here for the crown, crown (Oh, ****)

I was just ****ed up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the **** up, but I'm here for the crown, crown, crown, crown

Dreamville head honcho

*****, we came from nothin' just like the big bang theory

The poverty stains kept the pain buried

And covered the shame with a dream

We would have fortune and fame

A mil' in the bank, chameleon paint turned cranberry

Now little Jermaine got the same story

As that boy out of St. Vincent-St. Mary, G.O.A.T.​

All hail King Cole, first of his name, long may he reign

The boy got the throne, but you know it ain't a game

Ville *****, I was born in the same

Pressure cooker that's been known to bust a lump of coal and make a diamond

Two six, we enrolled in Reaganomics

Crew sick, we the Golden State of rhyming, on God

You could die today, so be hell to pay

I'm a livin', breathin', schemin' testimony

So don't test me, homie, put the knee in horny

Put a foot up that ass, you a steppin' stone

All my *****s ain't gettin' no sleep

All of my *****s be chasin' their dreams

Ooh, I'm a force of nature, I can't wait to date ya

I was havin' problems 'til I had to break through

All my tattoos for sure, they ain't never for show

Might get tattooed on tour, tell ya ho get the door

Spend my time makin' love to your thoughts

Gon' get in line, baby, slut up your mind

It's a brand new season, I'm a righteous heathen

I take on the challenge and I leave it bleedin'

I was down bad, now I'm even Steven

And I'm leavin', leavin' every ****in' weekend (Oh)

I was just ****ed up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the **** up, but I'm here for the crown, crown (Oh, ****)

I was just ****ed up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the **** up, but I'm here for the crown, crown, crown, crown
