Put It On Lyrics
[00:00.19] (Hey) come on, come on, come on, come on
[00:02.34] (Hey) come on, come on, come on, come on
[00:05.00] (Hey) come on, come on, come on, come on
[00:10.51] (Hey) come on, come on, come on, come on
[00:15.36]
[00:18.39] (Hey) come on, come on, come on, come on
[00:26.21] Ayo, you better flee hops, or get your head flown three blocks
[00:29.42] L keep rappers' hearts pumpin' like Reeboks
[00:32.30] And every year I gain clout and my name sprouts
[00:34.64] Some brothers'd still be virgins if crack never came out
[00:37.65] I got the wild style, always been a foul child
[00:40.10] My guns go "Boom, boom" and yo' guns go "pow pow"
[00:42.72] I'm known to have a hottie open
[00:44.32] I keep the shotty smokin'
[00:45.85] Front, and get half the bones in your body broken
[00:48.32] And when it comes to gettin' nookie, I'm not a rookie
[00:50.76] I got girls that make that chick Toni Braxton look like Whoopi
[00:53.60] I run with sturdy cliques
[00:54.79] I'm never hittin' dirty chicks
[00:56.15] Got 35 bodies, buddy, don't make it 36
[00:58.98] Step to this, you're good as gone
[01:00.69] Word is bond, I leave mics torn when I put it on
[01:03.55] So put it on, Big L, put it on!
[01:05.94] Come on, put it on, and onnn, and on!
[01:08.64] Come on, put it on, Big L, put it on!
[01:11.34] Come on, put it on, represent, put it on, come on!
[01:14.64] Nobody can take nothin' from Big L but a loss, chief
[01:17.38] The last punk who fronted got a mouth full of false teeth
[01:20.05] I'm known to gas a hottie and blast a shotty
[01:22.61] Got more cash than Gotti
[01:23.97] (You don't know?) You better ask somebody
[01:25.62] Big L is a crazy brother, and I'm a lady lover
[01:28.32] A smooth kid that'll run up in your baby mother
[01:31.04] I push a slick Benz, I'm known to hit skins
[01:33.66] And get ends and commit sins with sick friends
[01:36.37] 'Cause I'm a money getter, also a honey hitter
[01:39.09] You think you nice as me? Haha, you's a funny nigga
[01:41.78] I flows, so one of my shows wouldn't be clever to miss
[01:44.12] I'm leavin' competitors pissed
[01:45.02] To tell you the truth, it gets no better than this
[01:47.08] I'm catchin' wreck to the break of dawn
[01:49.08] In this song, yo, it's a must that I put it on

[02:26.01] Big L is the villain you still fear
[02:27.46] 'Cause I be hangin' in Harlem and shit is for real here
[02:29.54] If you battle L, you picked the wrong head
[02:31.78] I smash mics like cornbread
[02:33.15] You can't kill me, I was born dead
[02:35.19] And I'm known to pull steel trigs and kill pigs
[02:37.82] I run with ill kids and real nigs who peel wigs
[02:40.48] My rap's steady slammin', I keep a heavy cannon
[02:42.93] It's a new sheriff in town and it ain't Reggie Hammond
[02:45.78] Peace to my peoples, the Children of the Corn
