Take It Down Low Lyrics

[Intro]
We in the motherfuckin' building
A hundred fuckin' bottles
Yeah, take it down low

You like that? (Ayy) Yeah, I like that (Oh-oh)
You like that? (Ayy) Yeah, I like that (Oh-oh)
You like that? (Yeah) Yeah, I like that (Oh-oh)
You like that? (Ayy) Uh, I like that (Ayy)

[Verse 1: Akon]
I'm stuntin' on, I'm turnt up
Is that your girl? Then why she watchin' us?
She wanna leave, I'm ready to go
We can go out the back so don't nobody know
Look at your girl, she all over me
Nicki Minaj, be my little freak
The baddest bitch up in the club
If you're lookin' for her, she lookin' for me to let me love her

[Pre-Chorus: Akon, Kesia Hollins]
Let me love you, girl, show me love
Let me love you, girl, show me love
Let me love you, girl, let me love you
But before I take you home, you gotta take it low
[Chorus: Akon, Kesia Hollins]
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low
T-Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low
T-Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low

You like that? (Yeah) Yeah, I like that (Oh-oh)
You like that? (Ayy) Uh, I like that (Ayy)

[Verse 2: Akon]
Kaay ma maay la lou nékh, you can call me Kunta
I'ma eat ya, then beat ya, then teach ya Kama Sutra
You don't need your computer, girl, I'ma be your tutor
If your man ain't fuckin' you right, he's a loser
Take you home, we fool around
Rub all your body, then I'll lay you down
Me on you, you on me
Like your favorite song, put it on repeat-t-t
[Pre-Chorus: Akon, Chris Brown, Kesia Hollins]
Let me love you, girl, show me love (Hey)
Let me love you, girl, show me love (Show me love)
Let me love you, girl, let me love you (Oh!)
But before I take you home, you gotta take it low

[Chorus: Akon & Kesia Hollins, Akon & Chris Brown, Chris Brown]
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low
Take it down, take it down, take it down (Oh), take it down low
T-Take it down, take it down (Hey), take it down, take it down low
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low (Hey, oh-oh)
T-Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low (Oh-oh)
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low (Oh-oh, oh)
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low

[Verse 3: Chris Brown, Kesia Hollins]
She on the pole (What?), watch her break it down (Break it down)
Her booty swole, her ass shake the ground
Pop that booty now, pop that, pop that booty now
Pop that booty now, pop, pop, pop that booty now
Breezy in this bitch, I make 'em yell, I make 'em holler
What you talkin' 'bout? Hell yeah, I got them dollars
And money on they mind, money, money on they mind
And my presidents is goin' in the air when she whines on my
Potty mouth, she's from the south, she's dancin' on my woah (Brap!)
After that, I give her more bread then she dances on Polow (Leggo)
Up and down just like pogo (Nuh-uh), give her more money, then she go
On the floor, on the floor, take it down, take it down, down low
For all the strippers that's on my hitlist, watch how many racks I blow (Ah!)
They say this liquor is bad for my kidneys, I know, I know, I know (Yeah!)
And I got 'em all takin' off their clothes (Ah!) and I got 'em all workin' on that pose
I'm the bomb like napalm, Akon, what you waitin' on? Leggo
[Chorus: Akon, Kesia Hollins]
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low (Ooh)
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
T-Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low (Hey, hey, hey)
Take it down, take it down, take it down, take it down low

[Refrain: Akon, Kesia Hollins, Chris Brown]
You like that? (Ayy) Yeah, I like that (Oh-oh, leggo)
You like that? (Ayy) Yeah, I like that (Oh-oh, leggo)
You like that? (Yeah) Yeah, I like that
Take it low, girl, take it low, girl
Yeah, I like that, leggo
Oh-woah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
