Lyrics to Break It Down by Traphik x Twankstar

[Hook]
Ayy, Tonight
Im in the booth just messin’ around
Turn up the beat now, as I freestyle
Watch me as I break it down (like this)

[Twankstar]
Me and the boy Traphik, about to drop a classic
Big black guy and an asian dude
You gon’ get that ass kicked
No racial bro
I think the hate me
Though I push love, peace, skeet, and cheese
That’s one hell of a facial low
Groupies gettin’ denied
Unless you bangin’ Tim and Ricky
Shout out to D-Pryde
Don’t know why they think he be beefin’ with me
Got a lot of hate
Trumps everybody else
Cause everybody’s favorite version is everybody else
Other than me, the quote on quote official winner
But if you were to Google me, You’ll see I’m no beginner
Still in the race to fame, I keep it real, I’m no pretender
Cause the money I have earned from there
Wouldn’t buy me a TV dinner
I got not beef with T-Pain
Though I’m livin’ the same
Just tryin’ to get my bank account
To catch up with me, man
My name, my beats stompin’ like a migraine
Haters get off of my wang
Get it in wack rappers, You the furthest from my brain
Be weird, If I changed, Be scared, If I reign
Cause won’t nobody be at the top but me, myself, and Irene
Cause I will sit on you
I really will, that’s how the saga ends, that’s how B O gets killed
The End, leave haters pissy like, D Pins
We win, the challenge over as soon as I begin
Tonight I’m goin’ out in the town
And upload it to YouTube to show you how it goes down

[Hook]
Ayy, Tonight
Im in the booth just messin’ around
Turn up the beat now, as I freestyle
Sit back as I break it down (like this)(x2)

[Traphik]
I got a pocketful of tots and a date with Lafonda
Some killer dance maneuvers and a grill that I shined up
Got to book a studio session and rap till my times up
Then I drop the latest single, everybody gon’ line up
See I’m not worried about a deal, It’s all politics
That royal penis clean baby, Come polish it
She call me daddy, every time I’m on top of it
But when I’m at the Maury show
The test results say the opposite
And when I’m cookin’ a verse
Im never eatin’, never sleepin’, always puttin’ in work
Tryin’ to leave my legacy before im put in a hearse
And you know my family and my girl
I’m always puttin’ them first
You might hate the way I do it, I’m not losin’ my passion
Cause I’mma keep on crusin’ till my Fusion gets crashed in
Or maybe trade my Fusion in and get me a Ashton
Either way you will not punk me
Don’t confuse my with Ashton

[Hook]
Ayy, Tonight
Im in the booth just messin’ around
Turn up the beat now, as I freestyle
Sit back as I break it down (like this)(x2)
Break it down break it down baby sit back as I break it down(x4)

Lyrics to Bring The Noize by M.I.A.

Dem-dem-dem-free-free-dem
Dem-dem-dem-free-free-dem

I’m so tangy, people call me Mathangi
Goddess of word, b*tches I’m a keep it banging
Truth is like a rotten tooth, you gotta spit it out!
Let the bottom two, let my wisdom work it out
Big on the underground, can’t knock me down
Vicki Leekx b*tches, better buy it on demand
I Sleep in my tent and then I stand by it too
I can say lots with a little words or few like
Adam had ’em, yeh, me, the madame
I’ll introduce you to the d-d-dem-dems
Come let me go, do you like my perfume?
Made it at home with some gasoline and shrooms
Oil and water are two extremes
We like f*cking carpets, you like f*cking brooms
Why is your tattoo some ugly looking thing?
I got many designs they’re learning on Bing
My cousin got his DCS he’s decorating
He’s handy you might need him when I’m finishing what I’m saying
Just be frank, you my stan, understand!
I don’t care what you smell what’s you f*cking joint
A lot to be pissed they’re mates, and we’re yanks
Cause it’s not me and you, it’s the f*cking banks!

Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!

Dem-dem-dem-free-freekdom
Dem-dem-dem-free-freekdom
Free them, free them, free them, free them (freedom – freedom)

Truth is like a rotten tooth, you gotta spit it out *spits sound*
Let the bottom two, let my wisdom work it out
The world is ours, sending your sordid powers
The words out now, hope you heard em like cows
A bikini body, worth a tally or a rich
Bitch, my swag rich, can’t touch this
So click, click, click, please get off my dick
Just ‘cause I’m a mom it don’t make me thick
I’m a overweight, heavyweight, female Slick Rick
If you need the cheese then my sh*t cost stake
I got – a bug spray, bucket, stick
I got – tons of the fun stuff tons and tons of it

Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
Bring the noise when we run upon them!
