"lay" in Song Lyrics

See how artists use "lay" in their lyrics:

People still in the living room sleep Come and see, huh She say, "I'm dizzy," don't wanna move, just wanna lay under me Honestly, I know that just the other day you was goddamn broke Watch outside, that nigga shot them folks
I keeps my forty-five loaded with dum-dums, in rear I hold this Right at my waist for just in case somebody gots to get exploded Cause G. Rap ain't that nigga that try to play so nigga lay low Or get yourself a pair of wings, a harp, and a halo Clown, keep fuckin around, and you'll be dead G
I kick some more items just to explore horizons The palm lady dreamt of this day So I'ma play the crib close, smokin' with the big toast and lay (Silent, silent, murder) They say the arms of Nicky Barnes would be enough to blast
