Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
[Verse 2]
Let me freak the funk
Obsolete is the punk
That talks more junk than Sanford sells
I jet propel at a rate
That complicate their mental state
As I invade their masquerade
They couldn't fade with a clipper blade
Ten years in the trade is not enough
You can't cut it
I let you take a swing
And you bunted for an easy out
I leave emcees with doubt of exceeding
My name is Bootie Brown
And I'm proceeding, leading
They try to follow
But they're shallow and hollow
I can see right through them
Like an empty forty bottle of O.E
They have no key or no clue
To the game at all, now they washed up
Hung out to dry
Stand there looking stupid, wondering why
(Why man?)
It was the fame (Fame)
That they tried to get
Now they walking around talkin' about "Represent"
And "Keep it real", but I got to appeal
'Cause they existing in a fantasy
When holding the steel
[Verse 3]
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) Drop!
[Verse 4]
Rock-a-bye baby
Listen to your heartbeat pumping to a fine
Ravine of all things
It's the vain of a shrine
All missions impossible are possible, 'cause I'm
Headed for a new sector three-sixty-five
Days from now
I'll wipe the sweat from my eye
And each and every true
Will stick or fall from the skies
Of my cloud nine
From homies all the way to chicks
No matter how fine
Controlling is a swollen way to wreck a proud mind
You hold it in your hands
And watch a man start crying
Tear after tear in the puppet man's hands
Every time you take a stance
You do the puppet man's dance
And the world's at a standstill
Deep in Broken-man's-ville
Trapped in the moat with an anvil, still (Shit is ill)
Killing yourself (Uh-huh)
And dogging ya health
You ain't amphibious
So grab a hold of yourself
[Verse 5]
(Shit is-shit is ill)
Look through my will
My flow still will spill
Toxic slick to shock sick like electrocute
When I execute acutely over the rhythm
On those that pollute
Extra dosages is what I gotta give 'em
Got 'em mad and tremblin'
'Cause I been up in my lab assemblin'
Missiles to bomb the enemy
Because they envy me
And the making of my mad currency
Currently I think we're in a state of an emergency
'Cause **** done sold their souls
And now their souls is hollow
And I think they can't follow
They can't swallow the truth because it hurts
This is how I put it down
This is my Earth, my turf
The worth of my birth is a billion
And you know what time it is
I'm gonna make a million
[Verse 6]
Yeah, you know what time is it?
Yeah, uh huh, you know what time is it? (Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
Yeah, uh huh, you know what time is it? (Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
Yeah, uh huh, you know what time? (Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
[Verse 7]
Believe it or not, it's so divine
I got the supersonic shit that'll blow your mind
Believe it or not, it's so divine
I got the supersonic shit that'll blow your mind
We all like to welcome you to this here flight
Believe it or not, it's so divine
Now entering fifty thousand feet
I got the supersonic shit that'll blow your mind
Get you higher than the sky
All day and all night
You have to enjoy the ride haha
You got to enjoy the ride now
This is gonna last, at least five minutes of your time
[Verse 8]
Shit is crazy (Drop!)
But a whole (Drop!) Lifetime
Wow (Drop!) Shit is amazing
Of the real rides (Drop!)
Now if you are to look out your right window (Need to get a hold of myself)
You'll see a map (Hanging on for your life)
That's Labcabincalifornia (I'ma be in there)
Right over there (Drop!)
It's just now flying over Hollywood (Drop!)
Get a good glimpse now (Cuts, four side, forever)
Hold on now (Infinity)
A little turbulence, a little turbulence (Infinite and forever)
(Droppin' these nuts)
We're going down, we're going down
Where's Quentin
M.O (Yeah) Looks like you're gonna have to
Grab the parachutes (I think I'm going)
It's time to Drop! down on Labcabincalifornia (Outta my mind)
That'll be the spot
We just blew an engine
We're going down
It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
(Emcees are phony) It's going down
(Only the real survive)
Only the real survive
(That's why we gotta drop it)
Only the real survive
(That's why we gotta stop it)
Survive
(That's why we gotta drop it)
Only the real survive
(That's why we gotta stop it)
Haha
(On all open mic) Drop!
(Stand strong) Drop!
Yeah
Infinity
Thousand feet
Nine hundred feet
Five hundred feet
Zero
Ground zero
