Falling
Fading
Down down down I go
Falling
Fading
Down down down
Down I go
Yeah
Tell me
How can you see
When the water's so deep?
If you could be me for just one day
What would you say, huh?
Would you work a full time 9 to 5
Lay in bed pray to God that you can close your eyes
Writing rhymes all the time that you know are weak
Hop on the Mac 3 AM to devise a beat? Nah
It takes a little more than that
It's getting up and off the stool and writing countless raps
It's ignoring all the hate cause you're so aware
Thinking everybody's gotta see the scars you bear
Nobody gives a f until everybody cares
But the meetings in the interim you enter aware
Scared of the thought that you're seen as a joke
"You're just that pretty boy singer from that TV show"
It goes rum, coke, light, smoke
He had a buzz going he was ready to blow
Man I don't know
"He's just not confident, he's a dumb a kid with no common sense"
"Incompetent"
"A problem with the consciousness"
Feel like your mind's on a whole other continent
But how are you supposed to know you'll never know just how far down I go
But how are you supposed to know you'll never know just how far down I go
How are you supposed to know when all you see is what I show
But how are you supposed to know you'll never know just how far down I go
To pull this s from spitting it back
Rapping through the Tears giving em that Massive Attack
The world ain't fair so the pain you'll bury
Deserve ain't a word in your vocabulary
So go and lace up put your nose to the streets
You'll have to fight for a right for a spot on the beach
You'll leave your loved ones in that s hole of a town
You'll tell your girl you gotta go you know you'll see her around
To get to a spot where you hold the world in your hands
You know that every false move now is making a man
Taking a chance striking while the iron's hot
Went through the ringer as a singer being something you're not
To being told you're not good enough your songs are weak
You gotta pick a lane and stay non stop critique
"Where are your pop tunes?"
F outta my face yo let's go these mah f got zero taste
They never heard of an artist who be bringing the heat
Went from the stool to a maniac all over the beat
For real though I'm out here to be the best
I keep digging down pulling from the pain in my chest but yo
Don't believe everything you've been told
I've been had a wild fire deep down in my soul but
How are you supposed to know you'll never know just how far down I go
But how are you supposed to know you'll never know just how far down I go
How are you supposed to know when all you see is what I show
But how are you supposed to know you'll never know just how far down I go
Falling
Fading
Down down down
Down I go
Down I go
