"Lay Down II" lyrics

Bullets may fly 'round, but I lay down
I feel safe and sound on solid ground
Okay, yeah
How can I lay down-down-down-down?
They can't, yeah

They can't hold me down
All that pressure, pressure weighin' on my brain
I confess up front like I don't feel a thing
Still I maintain runnin' from the old me
Every time I drop a tune they try to tune me
Four stars, they don't wanna see none
Tryna be one, that might get you beats dumb
Lie with dogs, that's when the fleas come
This that thirst you gotta flee from, He hold me down
I'm not gon' sit and politic [?] like I'm vicious
I'm not gon' swap His vision for the tack and hollow riches
I'm not the type of Christian who put hope in politicians
If they say I ate, here go my plate, now wash the dishes
Trip the lace and chase me, still I'm gon' sleep like a baby
Can't get turned up, feet get burned up, my folk might filet me
Escape through and face 'em, some days my peace try to escape me
My scapegoat, He raised me, crazy I just—

I just lie down, I just lie down
All that big talk, let it die down
I just lie down, I just lie down
When that fear starts, cut them lies down
Lay, lay, lay down
Lay, lay, lay down
Lay, lay, lay down
Lay, lay, lay down

Ayy, give me space, speak my mind but give me grace
Deep behind all them silly takes, talk like God ain't really great
Now I'm finna eat, need a bigger plate
For all those who been rockin' with us, I appreciate, like a real estate
Feelin' like the rap game is a competition of the realest fakes
Most of 'em can't even really bake, hypin' how you stay really tight
What you expect when them silly fakes is the only thing make you sit up straight?
Judgin' by them streamin' numbers we become what we really hate
I'm tryna hit up the people, take a breath of fresh air

If I ain't slumbered in a while, yeah
I throw myself into exile, yeah
Terrors turn to errors in all my files, yeah
I would perish on that lonely island

I just lie down, I just lie down
All that big talk, let it die down
I just lie down, I just lie down
When that fear starts, cut them lies down
Lay, lay, lay down
Lay, lay, lay down
Lay, lay, lay down
Lay, lay, lay down

'Round, but I lay down
I feel safe and sound on solid ground
