[Intro: Money No & Prodigy]

That's my word, God

Kick that thug shit, God, kick that motherfuckin' thug shit, man

Word up, man (What's up, son? What's up?)

What up, Kicko? (No doubt, nigga)

Money No representin', you know what I'm sayin'?

All the time, baby

No doubt (You know what I'm sayin'?)

Who we got here, son?

Shine, baby, shine

Look, up in the sky (Who do we have here? Yo)


[Verse 1: Prodigy]

Here come the vultures, the Mobb-laced potent rap shit

Perhaps, kid, make it happen, start the flipping

You fuckin' comic, who you kidding?

My niggas laughing, blood bathin', the world's greatest

Infamous crimes heinous

To interfere would be dangerous

Plain and simp', stand clear, save your strength

You couldn't go the length if you was coked up

Bombazee'd up, whatever the fuck

Who gives a fuck? You get fucked

My coalition specialize in collision

The clash of the cliques

The duel of the iron, MAC spit

And leave you half-split

You'll be missin' much more than a fraction

When it's time for action

Hit him while he man down, make that nigga backspin

Trapped up by New Yiddy madmen

We blastin', you collapsin'

Heavily like my gold MAC-10

Get imprisoned with them raps'll have you relapsin'

You get cast in the Mobb, man, for askin'

We face splashin', dope fake's icepick stabbing

He slow leakin', eternally bleedin' for speakin'

Outta place, niggas get placed back indecent

Live at the main event, may I present

And scream it out loud for any Squad that's Def

My Infamous Mobb, your heart throb, hold your breath

He's KO'd from dead-arm rights and hard lefts

Another satisfied consumer who got blessed

Single out your army 'til there's no man left


[Chorus: Havoc]

Man down (Man down)

You know what I mean, son? Leave him

Man down (Man down)

You know what I sayin', nigga's real-life bleedin', he done

Aw, man

Man down (Man down)

41st side, baby, representin', you know what I mean?

Man down (Man down)

We takin' over this, this is ours, son, we want that

And you know what I want you to do?

Lay the fuck down


[Verse 2: Havoc]

Infamous cartel, visible evidence

We scarred well, associated team benevolent

Never hesitant, opposition get settled, hit with

Sharp shit that'll rip through

One hundred layers of Kevlar

Sharp like the GemStar

Exiled, son, he get sent far

It's the foulest, QBC gat bust the loudest

But low profile, peep style, thirsty prowess

Catchin' court cases, paid lawyer, legal aid

Son, that's money wasted, I ain't got time for that

Invest, don't place all my bets on rap

On the strength of the ignorant cats

It'll be dead in a few, just like that

Could've bust his gat right (Yo, you know what?)

But now you bucked your own man, amateur ass

Homeroom, take that ass to class

But you cuttin', duckin' a reality blast

You catch a D-minus fuckin' with New York's finest

No conversation for them outsiders

Dick riders, connivers

Bomb your camp, leave no survivors

Caught you off guard, got homicided

We analyze and tell you up front, ain't no surprises

Take you down first round, give your man pound


[Chorus: Havoc]

Man down (Man down)

Word up, on the strength of all that shit, niggas is gettin' laid down

Man down (Man down)

All that, all that drama we got, son

Man down (Man down)

Word up, who the, who the fuck is this nigga comin' out outta nowhere?

Man down (Man down)

All y'all, all y'all, all y'all

Lay the fuck down


[Verse 3: Big Noyd]

Check it out, dun, them niggas ain't ones

To be blowin' off the top and shit, I'm tired of shit

Dun, I'm about to dot the bitch and leave him stiff

Toss me the fifth, so I can bless the God with gift

Yo, nigga Noyd, what's the topic? Yo, the topic is this

Let me start from the beginning at the top of the list

First of all, them dyke niggas with that spaced-out shit

I stick a rocket up in they ass and give 'em a lift

My marvelous Mobb is tonic, intoxicant, beastly (What?)

Morphine raps, you get dope from N-O-Y-D

Shit fiendin', now get your fix, 'cause you need it

Fucking up your intravenous, the Infamous Mobb top secret

The only way you weaken this is if you peekin' this

Sneak thievin' niggas mischievous

Knowledgin' the God behind the scene on some snake shit

With vultures, water from the mouth 'cause we can taste it

We just waitin' with patience

Yo, dun, check the cross-examination, these niggas fakin'

So you can scream, you can fiend, you can dream for the bacon

Or you can snatch the MAC for the fact it ain't bangin', motherfucker


[Chorus: Havoc]

Man down (Man down)

Man down (Man down)

Man down (Man down)

Man down (Man down)

Lay the fuck down (Lay the fuck down)


[Outro]

Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow

What the fuck you doin', man?

Fuck, son, you shook, nigga

Pow, pow, pow, pow

Yo, stop fuckin' playin' me with that shit, man, c'mon, man, you know, come on, man (Fuck that, son, fuck that, this shit is ill, son)

You can't play the kind of games like that, c'mon, man, word up, man (This fuckin', look at this shit, son, this shit is butter, yo)

Put that shit up, man, word up (Fuck that, yo, fuck that)

Fuckin' buggin', kid

Use that shit or somethin', man

Fuck that, what the fuck, you think I'm not, motherfucker? What you mean, yo?

Better use this shit (This shit is flame, you actin' all shook and shit)

You playin' with it

The fuck, you scared, motherfucker? Shit
