Lay You Down Lyrics

Hello, world, my name is not important
Today is about (Tyga), yes sir
Lay you, lay you, down
Yeah, let's go
I'ma sit back and smoke (oh)
I might grab my guitar

I got these bullets in the chamber
Don't make me let off a round
If my life's in danger
I'm gonna lay you down
Your life's in my chamber
Don't make me let off a round
If my life's in danger
I'm gonna lay you down, lay you down

Uh, I ain't a killer but don't push me
Only soft shit I'm into nigga, is pussy
Hard head, from a city where really you blue or all red
Like when it pop off, better play dead
Ha, same day catch me on some different shit
Ha, front yard posted on some prison shit
Uh, even as a kid fight until you win
Life is kill or be killed, yeah

I got these bullets in the chamber (yeah)
Don't make me let off a round (so like I said)
If my life's in danger (or better yet like he said)
I'm gonna lay you down
Your life's in my chamber
Don't make me let off a round
If my life's in danger
I'm gonna lay you down, lay you down (get 'em, boy)

Uh, I like to floss so mama told me be cautious
She know the cost, she tell me death ain't a option
Too many lives lost, shootout on the boulevard
Guns drawn, pick a car, lucky me, I wasn't home
Damn, I hope it wasn't one of my homies, dawg
His family called, I ain't even hear my phone
Now I'm looking for revenge, swerving on this road
If I should die and never wake, pray the Lord take my soul (you already know)

I got these bullets in the chamber (yeah)
Don't make me let off a round (so like I said)
If my life's in danger (or better yet like he said)
I'm gonna lay you down
Your life's in my chamber
Don't make me let off a round
If my life's in danger (ya heard me?)
I'm gonna lay you down, lay you down (better make me love you, baby)

Ahem, reporting live from the barrel (get 'em)
Two tear drops under that eye on the sparrow (ugh)
I'm from the small place they call uptown
Where we (lay you), where we (lay you down)
Like concrete in the driveway, shoot sideways
Like O-Dog on Menace, leave you brains in yo' tennis
I'm the Renaissance Man, so put me in the book
And I got my pistol on the hook, sing

I got these bullets in the chamber
Don't make me let off a round
If my life's in danger
I'm gonna lay you down
Your life's in my chamber
Don't make me let off a round
If my life's in danger
I'm gonna lay you down, lay you down

When I say "fuck y'all"
I really mean mammy motherfuck all y'all
Tyga Tyga, (lay you) Young Money (lay you down)
I thought you knew
Lay you down, lay you down

What is the Meaning of Lay You Down?

In this dynamic collaboration between Tyga and Lil Wayne, the artists delve into themes of street life, survival, and retribution. The narrative explores the psychological and existential weight carried by individuals living in volatile environments, where danger is ever-present and self-defense is paramount. Tyga and Lil Wayne articulate a state of perpetual readiness for conflict, conveying both the physical and emotional burdens of such a lifestyle. The recurring motif of "bullets in the chamber" symbolizes the constant tension and readiness to protect oneself, emphasizing a life balanced precariously between vulnerability and vigilance. The lyrics underscore a grim reality where life can end abruptly, and the imperatives of loyalty and retaliation drive their actions. This raw depiction of urban struggle offers a poignant commentary on the harsh consequences of street violence and the relentless quest for self-preservation. #StreetLife #Survival
