Down (Z Dot UK Remix)

I hope (I hope)
I hope with the highest of hopes (yeah)
That I never have to go back to the trap (yeah)
And my days of dealing with dope (dope)
So I (I-I), I only spit fire and dope (dope)
So later on, you can go quote (quote)
My lines to your people and folk (folk)

And they say, "Damn" (damn, damn, damn)
That boy be spitting that pressure (pressure)
And he be smoking that pressure (pressure)
And he smart as a professor, yes sir
25 lighters on dresser, pound of that pressure
Sittin' right next to-, next to-
Next to a book and a gun
Ballot or bullet, you better use one (one)

One time for the freedom of speeches (speeches)
Two time for the right to hold heaters (heaters)
Just skip to the fifth if the cops in your house
Close your mouth and pray to your Jesus (sweet Jesus)
Ask why 'cause the devil a lie (lie)
So I stay holy and high (high)
May never get rich, but I never bitch
'Cause I made it here by and by

My, my, y'all
I coulda died, y'all
A couple times, I took my eyes off the prize, y'all
I know a few people pray for my demise, y'all
But like cream, I had to rise, I had to rise, y'all

RTJ! You're gonna need a bigger boat, boys, you're in trouble
Aye, gonna need a little hope, boys, on the double
Aye, you muckin' with a G here, see, talk to me
Or maybe listen to the man that barely dodged his own lobotomy
Pop the tape in, baby, we got shit we wrote for you (for you)
Came from feeling what a pure absence of hope can do
Only to leap through flaming rings and break the nose of crews
Still in their wings'll be them darlings, hope they've broken you

Yeah, they better hope that
I'm a full force and a cold fact
See the cold floor where I licked dirt
When the dough dried and the pride died
Had a dumb max, had to shop right
Gimme two meals and the lights on
I'ma do right, get a new crew
Make a new life, never boo-hoo

Never lose sight, I'm a voodoo
With a burst heart from an old soul
Better stop, drop when the squad's hot, we don't stop a lot
We don't talk a lot about it, we just pop it off a lot
I'm high, man, I'm a cosmonaut
Scream, "Fuck 'em," 'til they lop our bloody noggins off
I promise y'all

My, my, y'all
I coulda died, y'all
A couple times, I took my eyes off the prize, y'all
I know a few people pray for my demise, y'all (yeah)
But like cream, I had to rise, I had to rise, y'all (Dreads, look)

They wanna see me in the rain
Okay, cool, I'll vibe in the weather
True real talk, I thrive under pressure
Take two wrongs and tie them together
Fresh when arrivin' (yeah), all this gold, I'm a pirate
And I got my eyes on the treasure
Perfect timin', with words, I'm a wordsmith
The way I'm working, surprising

24-7, 365
20 times five, that's what I put in (facts)
Stephen King when I'm writin' (facts)
Gordon Ramsey with the cooking
20 times five, 365
24-7, that's when I'm workin' (facts)
You said I'm sick in the online video
Safe, I'm better in person

And if they wanna see me down
Them guys know I don't see them (no)
Friends go by like seasons
There's four or five in my allegiance
Can't bring your strength to my defense
One backhand and you'll see sense (yeah)
Standard, I work on the weekends
Real life, that don't happen, don't pretend, bro, that's facts

My, my, y'all
I coulda died, y'all
A couple times, I took my eyes off the prize, y'all
I know a few people pray for my demise, y'all
But like cream, I had to rise, I had to rise, y'all
