Pickin Up What I’m Puttin Down E-40

[Intro]
The Mekanix

[Verse 1]
Sharper than a dart, bitch, I'm a walking landmark
Pay me like a parking meter, pay me like a shopping cart
I can’t rock with tattle-tellers, affidavit snitches, NARCs
You gotta keep your lips zipped, you gotta put your tongue in park
When you come from the Savage you gotta be a savage
They'll cut you down like some lettuce, they'll cut you down like some cabbage
And these females is brilliant on the tidnuck (On the under)
They pocket-watchin’ your yaper, they'll add you up (They got your number)
Once about a time up in the Hillside of the V (V)
There was a young hustler, he go by the name of E (E)
He was eager, ambitious and hella curious (Hella curious)
Fuck with his family and he'll get furious (He'll get furious)
Got the game from the acts down at the liquor store (At the liquor store)
They taught him to talk less and listen more (Listen more)
Deserve the Hustler of the Century Award (Award)
Used to break the yola down like an iron board (Like an iron board) (Bitch)

[Chorus]
You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? (Puttin' down)
If you can’t swim, you’re bound to drown (Bound to drown)
If you can't swim, you’re bound to drown (Bound to drown)
If you can't swim, you're bound to drown (Bound to drown)
(Bound to drown)
Pickin' up what I’m puttin' down? (Puttin' down)
If you can't swim, you bound to drown (Bound to drown)
If you can't swim, you bound to drown (Bound to drown)
If you can't swim, you bound to drown (Bound to drown), uh
