On The DL
Lyrics
So here it is f**k it, friends or no friends I had enough bullshit
To last me clear to the ends of my term, I hate worms
So I'ma bring in the fish and induce my backhand
To refrain from my fist

On the downlow
Eyes cry tears fear a baby eagle seagull
On the downlow
He was out to get I M A N I, first I took my trigger finger with a wiggle
'Cause you should know
Order, order, I cross the border for a spot in the sun
Thinkin' of all the naughty things we did last night
So niggas that don't wantcha and you're fucked
And the crowd on my feet the only one who has my back is me
Dude, this is it
The homeys kick the fact 'cause it's wack to let you fall
He's bleeding everywhere and now he's reachin' for the door
Your big brown booty, my mind starts flashin'
'Cause you should know
And you're cappin' 'bout this rappin' and they're cavin' in the grille
His story's soundin' sad like the movie Ben
It's on the downlow, don't tell nobody I killed him all right?
When we journey through the sea
On the downlow
Yeah, I wish that I change, then I could shed all the main
Bang bang bang, yep I got 'im again
I'm thinkin' about the crazy ways you made me feel
In reality, see, I'm constantly fightin' heavy
'Bout the downlow
With the cars and the girls and the ego and the loot chief
I'm lookin' in the mirror with my cock on rock
But before I take a shower, I ain't ashamed to say
On the downlow
Grabbed me around the neck said, "Scream and you're dead"
Put on the gear that i'ma wear throughout my day
The Devil jumps into my eyes and then I giggle
As my thoughts get deeper and a little more intense
But no this nigga had to go
Why doesn't what you're rollin' in the hood
To refrain from my fist
And all this time you been wantin' somethin' for nothin'
I might have the ego but you'll tell me who're trippin'
To last me clear to the ends of my term, I hate worms
Should I pursue to do you or just stroke my knot
When I think of the night before and the heat of passion
I got him, he's crippled so he crawls across the floor
You trippin' on my ego but all my shit is sustained
I woke up in the mornin' to a girl who's butt's soft
From my ego, those Libro kids are creepin' with the steel
I've got my nine I said with my millimeter go bang
But a fly slip wash you up fly drip my
But um, anyway I'm just protectin' my shit
The crew has pushed your button 'cause your frame is on recall
Man you Pharcyde
Is what I did, what dug look under the rug
Peep this I was asleep, he climbed in my window
Gotta brush my teeth, clean my nuts off
Flip fly caught you soarin' sky high
On the downlow
On the downlow
Went to the bathroom with cocoa-butter in my hand
I'm so down with myself, bitch, I could chill as a bum ho hum
And I got it, hit him in the heart with my night struck a slug
And let the hand I hold the mic with, take control

He's chasin' me, scrapin' my knee on the cement
I know and it shows, I can look at your nose
On the downlow
Crazy fucked like the slut Heather Hunter
Shit falls quicker than a local hero
'Cause you should know
On the downlow
I'll make this brief I'd be lyin' through my teeth
On the downlow
Y'know what I'm sayin'
I thought it was the Devil 'cause his face was glowin' red
Closed the door behind me, locked it very tight
On the downlow
If you don't know what comes next, well, you're just too dense
So I'ma bring in the fish and induce my backhand
On the downlow
Man damn, tre
Slipped out my underoos sat on the toilet bowl
With me the one that punches shit I know you'll get the pick
On the downlow
'Cause if it wasn't me he's killin'
While my girl is asleep, I'm caught in a jam
And just tell that you're effected by the E G O
Closed my eyes tight so it would seem more real
'Cause you should know
In the back of my head, you know Imani feels no shame
If I told you, you was dope and your benefits was reaped
Zero from zero leaves nothin' now ain't that somethin'?
Then my moms mighta got it
So here it is fuck it, friends or no friends I had enough bullshit

Oui oui monsieur, I'm true to the game I believe my friends you slip me
Drum, I'm so burnt that I'm beat, I got my fears on my nerves
On the downlow
On the downlow
He was a brother but this brother had the Devil in his eye
