[Intro:]

Put them on, put them on

Shiesty motherfuckers

Recognize that check it

[PMD:]

Yo we build and destroy, black Benz's and the convoy

Use a different 9 to valoy, metal, money caught it in his velcro

Another shell split his elbow, a good fellow

Like Jimmy Chochimes, he tote two nines, two dimes

Caught the guard block and at the shoe shine

Yeah he just got word about his man James Dean from Queens

Hit a bank and shot a guard in the spleen

With Bill Blast, he made a dash smash the cash

Ran two blocks pulled off the ski mask

But then started flippin', forced in the phat whip and

People started talkin', po-po started sniffin',plus

He never hit James Dean with the cream

So James put a hit to catch him on the scene

The police got a tip from a girl he use to run with

Sell guns with, trees and mack clips, yeah

She was nice, drove a 5-0 twice, on the cell all night

With more hoes than Heidi Fleiss

And the girl drove a black Infinity, moving keys to Kennedy

Different name everyday fake identity

They made a deal and copped a plea and turned state

So at the house the police wait with Jeds caught him in his 8

50 that's how the streets be moving shiefty

Found Billy and he slipped and paid quickly

Different day but the same song, life goes on

So watch the street kid, cause it's a put on

[Hook:]

That's how it goes down, down on the under [x2]

[Erick Sermon:]

I seen Will on the corner, Flatbush and Park Slope

Shippin' two pounds of coke with 2 O.G.'s in his bear coat

Chrome neena, rollin' with this bitch named Catrena

Undercover queena that pack a street sweeper

5 years for doin' Fed time for extortion

And a jail up in Boston for major jewel flossin'

Hits safes quickly can hear a black Jamie Summers

Pick the right numbers and have mad runners

Or Hardcore Lil' Kim, Queen Bee Bitch

Who never snitch, played the game and never rode the bench

Will swear up and down this bitch will kill at will

For her family, no fantasy, a James Colamity

Time for the score, from Hammerton to Marine Park

Gotta get there, before it get dark, we arrive

She reload the black 45, concealed by the waist line

And nows hte time, she jumped out the car

In front was a Hummer, two new comers, I never seen before

I approached tall Joey "Who's those guys lookin' wise?

Had my black ass surprised."

A-yo yo yo it's a set up, where's the doe, uh

Where's the loot, give it to me and don't get cute

Catrina pulled the weapon, shot Joey

The other two guys pulled out and aimed, explain

Yo, she hid the two kids with Joey, she didn't know

Cause she paid more doe for 'em

Will screamed "You bitch!" "Sorry" she said

Then boow! Will got lit

That's how it goes down, down on the under

They drove off quickly in the black Hummer

Never trust no matter what the dance or song

Cause it could be a put on

[Hook x4]
