lirik lagu john michel & anthony james - going down
yeah, i heard there’s war going on outside
i promise i’m doing everything for me and mine
i’ll sell my freedom to eat on that government dime
my own martyr, ‘imma struggle ’till the day that i die
i know i tried, i’m checking my bread
eyes red, i barely sleep in my bed
from pm to the am, i been working, it’s a process
they doing what they can to keep my people in the projects
i’m dreaming for a day where i could break that f~cking promise
my head spinning, pulled me out of the whip
that coppеr asked me what i’m doing with his hand on hip
a black man, a black benz, it’s all part of thе script
i learned that 40 in a 40’s simply moving too quick
f~ck him, and what he stand for, i’ll for fight that power
then buy a house by those people, turn my music up louder
then move my family on the block and have ’em hand me my flowers
a big ego on a n~gga, i’m in love with the doubters
look, ’cause when i said it i meant it, like really obviously
i’ve been honest, i’m on it with new velocities
to suffer from success is just one thing i refuse
i bet that none of ya’ll n~ggas ever fit in my shoes
i been down, like beat battered in scenes scattered, my jeans tattered
and in that bottle was peace, in need of green pastures
i think i drink to success, so i’m drinking heavy now
i’ve been compared to the best, but we all going down
yeah, look
i’m leaving soon and won’t be back for a minute
so sit your petty ass down and let me handle my business
i’ve done it all upon my lonely, no one grants me a ticket
it’s black excellence, i’m happy throwing hands with these bigots
i only know division, no decisions
towel is f~cking thrown in
since it’s me, i’m steady hustling on my own volition, own ambition
n~gga i ain’t stopping ’til i get rich and control the system
know i’m p~ssing off ’bout every one i’ve got a bone to pick with
i’m incoming, someone hand me a drink
’cause with a bottle and a mic the only way i can think
i think i model all my plight from what i heard from that shrink
they acting like they never seen no n~gga close to the brink
f~ck ’em, i said it once, and look i’ll say it again
i’ve have a lot of hard times and seen ’em out to the end
it never depends, i know i’m taking all they can send
i heard the bigger the ego, the f~cking bigger the man
that’s a good christian with bad habits, a great addict
i put my life on the record, so n~gga stay at it
i’ve heard them adages, sh~t that makes people average
i don’t take advice from n0body i know i’m better than
been down and out, so what i do got a purpose
look how you think you bother me when i believe that i’m perfect?
you’re either with me, or your ass against me
i’m ‘tryna right my wrongs because i can’t rewrite the history
we all going down
