Lay It Down Lyrics by Illmac

The Green Tape

2010

[Intro]
Uh, yeah
You are now tuned into The Green Tape
How this project came to be is kinda crazy, man
Me and G was sittin' in the studio bumpin' that Al Green
Lay it down
We came up with the idea, he wanted to flip the whole album front to back in order, you know?
And I sat there and watched him do it over the course of a few hours
It's like there was somethin' in the air
I had to be part of it, you know what I'm sayin'?
Look

[Verse]
Cats saying that I fell off, huh
I’ll just give you what I felt y’all need
You prolly won’t find me in no Ed Hardy
It’s white tees, plain jeans, LRG
And everywhere I go, you can smell my tree
So excuse me if I trail off please
Hit the sand lot, re-up a new batch of CDs
And leave the country like, "Bet you I could sell all these"
Give the man props, can't stop for real
Last shot, and John Hancock the bill
As far as rap, got this, padlock with skill
Outside of that, still got a cash crop to build
The lab is the crack spot, and I ain’t playing with ’em
It’s been monkey bars ever since the sand box
G’s beats lay the backdrop, we a combo hit
More like almost there’s than them have-not's
Man, watch

[Outro]
Lay it down
Just watch, listen
Lay it down
Ha, Green Tape
Aye G man, I don't think they seen this one comin'
Figured just give 'em somethin' to grow to, you know?
Haha
