Dreamville / Down Bad (Feat. JID, Bas, J. Cole, EARTHGANG & Young Nudy)

[Intro: Young Nudy]

Tell 'em, slime

[Verse 1: Young Nudy]

Yeah, I am the king of the E.A.​

Get this bitch screwed like the DJ (Big slime)

Yeah, I am the shit where we play

We got the chalk where we play (Okay)

Yeah, come through the city

We gon’ chop your ass up just like some sushi (Yeah)

AK-47, stick go stupid (Yeah)

Draw the money out, all the way...

[Verse 2: JID]

Okay, lil' dirty, nappy-headed East Atlanta nigga

Father said that I was a force

.44, Hank Aaron chrome

Wanna make it home? Then get out the Porsche

Let a nigga cover FADER 'fore I have to fade a nigga at the FADER Fort

It’s tomato or tomato, either way, the boy the greatest

Play it, I won't say it no more

I was just fucked up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the fuck up, but I'm here for the crown

Board of Education vs. Brown

I was bored of education, left the town

Fuck a résumé and fuck a cap and gown

Fuck a background check back 'round when I get the check

Nigga, that's now

[Chorus: JID]

I was just fucked up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the fuck up, but I'm here for the crown, crown (Oh, shit)

I was just fucked up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the fuck up, but I'm here for the crown, crown, crown, crown

[Verse 3: Bas]

I was just fucked up, I was just down, down bad

Picked up the pad, picked up the slack

Pick of the litter, don't litter no bag

Bassy been pickin’ up racks, raps comin’ clearer than Acuvue 2

And I'm back in the booth

Got ’em hackin' a Shaq 'cause they lackin' the juice

Niggas droppin’ the ball, they on Shaqtin' a Fool

Actavis drool down the side of yo face

We ain't jackin' it, we ain't dappin' them fools

Get a napkin, you dudes is embarassin'

Who going crazy like us? No comparison

Dreamville like Marion Jones on the steroids

Y'all niggas slow as a heroin high

Y'all had a year, y'all had a year

Y'all had a year, but you let it go by

Yee

[Chorus: JID]

I was just fucked up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the fuck up, but I'm here for the crown, crown (Oh, shit)

I was just fucked up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the fuck up, but I'm here for the crown, crown, crown, crown

[Verse 4: J. Cole]

Dreamville head honcho

Bitch, we came from nothin' just like the big bang theory

That poverty stains kept the pain buried

And covered the shame with a dream

We would have fortune and fame

A mil' in the bank, chameleon paint turned cranberry

Now little Jermaine got the same story

As that boy out of St. Vincent-St. Mary: G.O.A.T.​

All hail King Cole, first of his name, long may he reign

The boy got the throne, but you know it ain't a game

Ville nigga, I was born in the same

Pressure cooker that's been known to bust a lump of coal and make a diamond

Two six, we enrolled in Reaganomics

Crew sick, we the Golden State of rhyming, on God

[Verse 5: Johnny Venus]

You could die today, so be hell to pay

I'm a livin', breathin', schemin' testimony

So don't test me, homie, put that in ya, homie

Put a foot up that ass, you a steppin' stone

All my niggas ain't gettin' no sleep

All of my niggas be chasin' their dreams

Ooh, I'm a force of nature, I can't wait to date ya

I was havin' problems 'til I had to break through

All my tattoos for sure, they ain't never for show

Might get tattoo'd on tour, tell ya ho get the door

Spend my time makin' love to your thoughts

Gon' get in line, baby, slut up your mind

It's a brand new season, I'm a righteous heathen

I take on the challenge and I leave it bleedin'

I was down bad, now I'm even Steven

And I'm leavin', leavin' every fuckin' weekend (Oh)

[Chorus: JID]

I was just fucked up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the fuck up, but I'm here for the crown, crown (Oh, shit)

I was just fucked up, I was just down, down bad

I had to tighten the fuck up, but I'm here for the crown, crown, crown, crown
