Turn Down

(album: Come As You Are - 2013)

You go out every weekend
I'm sure we've made plenty of songs for that
But what about Monday through Friday?
That's what this music's for

Sit back and relax, kick your feet up
Roll some weed up, if it's hot turn that AC up
Cold? Turn the heat up, whatever it is you do, get comfortable
Here we go

See, Monday you wake up wanting to stay home, no job all day long
Just tryna get over hangover from Graystone
But you still go to work and Tuesday just feels like doomsday
Because your home girls that really club are trying to go to Emerson or supper club
And Wednesday you say, f all that, I'm chilling
You call that, nigga, you feeling me, he comes through, you cook
Netflix, y'all fuck and Thursdays y'all eating cracks
And you don't wanna feel bad for partying before the weekend cracks
So you chill again and Friday at 5 PM on a highway
You're in traffic thinking about Saturday at Tiger Skin, Graystone again
And who's gonna get you in, but fuck all that
You just realized it's 4: 45 PM on a weekday
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to welcome you to the turn down

[Chorus:]
Nobody around, just you in the living room with this in the background
You just happy you ain't fighting, rolling up, getting high
It's a turn down for what? Nigga, turn down 'cause you tired
Nigga, this that turn down
Nobody around, just you in the living room with this in the background
You just happy you ain't fighting, open up, getting high
It's a turn down for what? Nigga, turn down 'cause you tired

She say she wanna get high so I ask could I be her pilot
She love being off that loud but keep her iPhone on silent
She only drink clear liquor 'cause that brown make her violent
She love Talib Kweli and a Tribe Called Quest, her thing is so vibrant
I'm on my Q tip but a q tip is useless if you don't hear me speaking
Your roommate gone for the weekend, you home alone and you creeping
You turn up Monday through Saturday, Sunday morning they decent
Instead of hearing a preacher preaching, you stay home and sleep in
And then you get woke up on Monday by a call from your granny
Saying put gas in your Camry and come spend time with your family
Of course you do just that, then get right back to what matters
That's buying leggings from the mall so that your ass would look fatter
Then comes a text from that promoter that you sexting, that you sexting
Saying make sure you show up early so you get right in to this section
Now you flying out from city to state, hoping to get wifed up on a date
Eating salad, watching your weight, just keep in mind, girl, it ain't too late to turn down

[Chorus:]
Nobody around, just you in the living room with this in the background
You just happy you ain't fighting, rolling up, getting high
It's a turn down for what? Nigga, turn down 'cause you tired
Nigga, this that turn down
Nobody around, just you in the living room with this in the background
You just happy you ain't fighting, rolling up, getting high
It's a turn down for what? Nigga, turn down 'cause you tired
Nigga, this that turn down

You got one kid, two kids, don't take care of 'em
They always at their grandmamma house
Yeah, you act toxic in every other club in another rapper's section
You still grabbing bottles you ain't even pay for
And you got a dress on that you are taking back tomorrow
Girl, turn down
And you feel like you popping, huh?
'Cause you got a couple rap niggas in your mentions
You be at that pool party swinging that Indian extension
Act like you can't stay at home, can't wait to pop that ass that you're still making payments on
I need you to please turn down
Don't think you exempt from it, you got kids, too, nigga
No car, but I bet you get them Js, don't you?
Phone bill barely paid but it's on that IPhone 5, ain't it?
And you stay with your niggas looking for hoes
When there's one woman waiting for your sorry ass, lil' nigga, turn down
And you be that same one that be talking behind your friends back, acting fake
You ran your cane every weekend but ain't tryna lose no weight
Who want a loan every time you lack money but try to act funny when you get your tax money
I need you to turn down

[Chorus:]
Nobody around, just you in the living room with this in the background
You just happy you ain't fighting, rolling up, getting high
It's a turn down for what? Nigga, turn down 'cause you tired
Nigga, this that turn down
Nobody around, just you in the living room with this in the background
You just happy you ain't fighting, rolling up, getting high
It's a turn down for what? Nigga, turn down 'cause you tired
This that turn down
