    Throw Down harkens back to the ole skool hip-hop from the 1980's that honed our keen sense of rhythm and bounce. Yeah yeah y'all...and you don't stop!

lyrics

Never did I stop dreamin' 'bout my way to the top
Spittin' lines on these hits and spittin' on them flops
Callin' the shots. You can call me the shot-caller
With rhymes so fly all you haters will holler
A baller having a ball at your expense
It doesn't make sense? Havin' to come to your defense?
When you don't understand the aim of my game
I'm in it for the craft , later ther fortune and fame.
It's a shame. I've been off the mic a few year
A ways from money and the chants and teh cheers
And a few tears were shown but never seen
So I could come back, blow up, and steal the scene
It's obscene when I don't get proper due
And it's a mob scene when I get a hold of you
And your whole crew will be running 'round town
When it's time to do my thing, homeboy, you know that I throw down.

Take it as you please
With no beggin' or borrowin' I'll have you on your knees
And on these - nuts you must be
Thinking you run the this game above me? Please!
No matter how hungry you are, I want it more
Cuz you can never devour the rhymes that I have in store
It's on the mixtape. Must I reiterate
That's the flow is so illegal that it's banned in every state
And it's first rate?! Some folks don't recognize
That this boy's full of skill. He's on the rise!
And a surprise to even me
That you didn't even know me till this track dropped for free.
I put it out on wax to show you all thanks
Sayin' Habede habede habede" ala my man Shabba Ranks
And at first glance droppin' fools to the ground
When they heard me sound they knew that the Rue could throw down!

(The T the H the R the O the W the D the O the W the N)
I throw down
(The T the H the R the O the W the D the O the W the N)
I throw down
(The T the H the R the O the W the D the O the W the N)
I throw down

My styles impeccable. My show's incredible.
Feedin' your mind because my rhymes are edible.
A medical miracle is fulfilled before your eyes.
Doin' it with no effort? No wonder he never tries!
I throw down the gauntlet as a challenge to you fools
The principle's in. Y'all know I make the rules
And I pull tools straight of the box.
I be jackin' like a hammer with a song that rocks
There is talk about the way that I Rhyme
Never forgot that it came out in due time.
Takin' a shot at all you other emcees.
Stirrin' the pot to give you a taste of me
And it's not to pour salt in the game
But it's my time now and it's my time to reign
And it's insane that I must go now
Cuz I just did my thing on this track. Best believe I throw down!

(The T the H the R the O the W the D the O the W the N)
And you don't stop
I throw down
And you don't quit
(The T the H the R the O the W the D the O the W the N)
I throw dowd
And you don't stop
I throw down
And you don't quit
And that's it...
