Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Diamond and heavy metal rocker, eight-tray hopper
Silkk headliner, Ain't No Limit to how I shock ya
Car chrome Daytons, they superb when I drop her
All these haters disappear when I cock the
Nah, I ain't gon' tell ya, I keep that to myself
But you gon' see it if you don't let me keep it to myself
Don't make me start, man, I'm from the heartland
Where they might shoot you up, it's not your heartland
[Verse 2]
Way down in the water
Man, look here, homie, I'm from the Show Me
And, uh
You need to show me what you're talkin' about
What all that gawkin' about
Or you just runnin' your mouth?
[Verse 3]
I'm off the banks of that M-I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I
The hump-back girls with thighs
Where they be built like bricks
Praised for bein' thick
Or maybe skinny like a stick
But they fine as shit
I stay
[Verse 4]
Way down in the water
Yeah
Off the banks of the muddy Mississippi
Ready to put that ass in order
Shh, keep it quiet now
Way down in the water
Yeah
Off the banks of the muddy Mississippi
Ready to put that ass in order
[Verse 5]
Yo, check it, yo
You gettin' close to me when you hit them rocks on the banks
So grab your flippers, goggles and oxygen tank
Go grab a wet suit, check your regulator soon
'Cause we pack spear guns and give **** harpoons
Then we (Flood the streets)
Oh how they (Lovin' me)
Come through in the Buick sittin' so (Lovely)
We like some catfish lobsters
Ghetto-fied mobsters
Dress sharp, smile in your face and still rob
I'm natural with it
Supreme, actual factual with it
I got them gats, you got to get it
You and them cats got to get it
[Verse 6]
I'm concrete booted, all khaki Dickie suited
Run for cover, somebody call up the Guinness
Book of World Records, tell 'em we poppin' tremendous
Dirty, we big truckin' with weapons of mass destruction
It's the muddy St. Louis, get to it
Cash is nothin'
It go
[Verse 7]
Way down in the water
Yeah
Off the banks of the muddy Mississippi
Ready to put that ass in order
Shh, keep it quiet now
Way down in the water
Yeah
Off the banks of the muddy Mississippi
Ready to put that ass in order
[Verse 8]
Yo
I'm from the land that kick doors
Where **** come through your window with pistols
Like Bruh Man off the '5th Floor'
See the way the wrist glows
Sick flows
Better yet, turn off the lights
I'll turn this bitch into a disco
Hood crime, highly invested
Check your rap, rock and pop stations
Gube Thug highly requested
And my gun like Chris
You know I'm gon' tuck her
In a Spider Modena the color of Apple Pucker
And the game from the veterans, righteous bars
I'm in it for longevity, stripes and stars
And the world might change if ever I quit blessin' it
Just use my illest verse to throw in the New Testament
I got a need for speed like Jeff Gordon
Shot hoops in size ten and stressed Jordan
Plus, I should be a warden the way I lock cells
Might catch me hoppin' outta the truck, blowin' the L
Yellin'
[Verse 9]
Way down in the water
Yeah
Off the banks of the muddy Mississippi
Ready to put that ass in order
Shh, keep it quiet now
Way down in the water
Yeah
Off the banks of the muddy Mississippi
Ready to put that ass in order
[Verse 10]
We stay
Way down in the water
Yeah
Off the banks of the muddy Mississippi
Ready to put that ass in order
Shh, keep it quiet now
Way down in the water
Yeah
