"I Won't Lie Down" lyrics
(feat. Killer Mike)
[Killer Mike:]
Let me be specific, my people is gifted, prolific
Them been through horrific and came back terrific
No gimmicks, my critics, they just do not get it (They just do not get it)
They only want stereotypical, ignorant image niggas that standing on business
Leaning on benzes, Eric B and Rakim, that is what make a big difference
I got the lessons, listen, live scientific
My people wrote hieroglyphics
Knowledge and wisdom I give them (Knowledge and wisdom)
Understand culture and freedom, power refinement, adding equality too Now, that make God out of you
Build and destroy, God is a man, not a boy
Do not play God like a toy
Knowledge is born, now that my cypher's complete
I'ma get back to the streets, peace
[Busta Rhymes:]
Funny how they insecure (Insecure)
Front like they got the most confidence (Ha)
And we're all blessed with free choice (Free choice)
But ain't a motherfucker free from the consequence
What you do when niggas unallowable
Now they gotta hold a boy accountable
You gotta pay the price for what you're doing
But you need to come home and be a part of something powerful
We was a little proud of you
Till when you put me in the space where now I doubted you
Got me questioning the nigga character
I see the barrier and see your soul flowing out of you
And while I'm killing them harder, peace God
Pull up in the name of the father
Deal with high science and I'll shine a light brighter
All my babies they reflect me, and they grow and I'm smarter
Teach 'em how to live a life and turn into martyrs
In the future write the book of life, becoming the authors
They should've left us alone, I don't know why they cause us
To become my best self and elevate into conscience
My family move like an army of Spartans
Most you niggas move like there's a lot of you godless
My proton, neutron, electron, god body presence in the midst, make a lot of you harmless
Possess the power, make it rain, hail, snow, earthquake
Where you gon' run when I make the earth shake
Black man how much more shit you gon' take?
A lot of y'all woke but you need to be awake
Shit, wait, they try to act like niggas ain't the greatest
And it ain't in our nature, motherfuckers been great
That's what they hate
Funny how they insecure (Insecure)
Front like they got the most confidence (Ha)
And we're all blessed with free choice (Free choice)
But ain't a motherfucker free from the consequence
What you do when niggas unallowable
Now they gotta hold a boy accountable
You gotta pay the price for what you're doing
But you need to come home and be a part of something powerful
We was a little proud of you
Till when you put me in the space where now I doubted you
Got me questioning the nigga character
I see the barrier and see your soul flowing out of you
Let me be specific, my people is gifted, prolific
