Down

Levi Ratley

Think about what it is you want, these 808s are deep
Keep me up, above this weight that I'm always underneath
Free me, cause I fear the worst has yet to blow over your street
The peace before the storm calls me out I'm shaking I shiver my
Heart has been shanghaied, far beyond what I can see I quiver
I'm only with you now because I said I'd be, forever
But myself can't seem to find me when I've needed him the most, no never
Transparency's a bitch
You really think that's clever, poor us
The maps still intact, even clearly shows the path
But half the class couldn't mark the spot if the x was up their ass
We soon won't have the need
Soon when you look you won't see no key, never
Clear as mud remember
I'm lost, in these clouds and dreams
But dreams aren't dreams unless you're asleep
And sleep is the only thing that haunts me
I'll punish me, beat myself and wont stop till the scars bleed
Force myself to get used to being all alone
As a ghost, roaming the world
Just another soul
Drifting between the cures that would put his pain at ease
But time go's

Think about what it is you want these 808s are deep
Free me, cause I fear the worst has yet to blow over your street
Keep me up, above this weight that I'm always underneath
Cause I fear the worst has yet to blow over your street
Think about what it is you want these 808s are deep
Keep me up, above this weight that I'm always underneath
Free me, cause I fear the worst has yet to blow over your street

Running and chasing and praying and taken no chances
Skipping no steps as I'm counting my own
Thinking, I might be losing this race
If i can't keep the pace with myself
No second guessing, it's not who you suspected, but
What a coincidence this is
You better get ready
You can bet, there's no safety, still
We aim to thrill, we shoot to kill
And if you just tuned in then
I'm reloading still
Better believe it I gonna lay it down like woe
You weren't around when it was my time no
None of us kids had smartphones
We were lucky if it flipped open
Computers gave us tones, internet was slow as molasses, shit
You had to hop out of that lambo and catch a drop of luck
To get a single shot, at the big time
Not everybody had a studio
Too many people around, was the problem then, not drones
That's why they built these bars, to contain us ones
Us animals, turned cannibals
In my hay-day you were lame if you stayed at home
Watching tv like a mean fiend
We had a screen door not a flatscreen
Sipping space tang
Yeah boy you can catch me
Feelin iced out with my fallens on and some nice jeans please
Pockets a little ripped and they've got a few stains but they still clean
I'm in slow motion when i step out that fifty three

There's a place in my mind, where these storms like to hide
Wake after wake it's like the gallows inside
It's the brink for my soul if I can't get this right, is there
Something inside, we've missed all of this time
All of this time and it doesn't mean shit
Another piece of the puzzle that barely fits
Put me away, Like a toy on a shelf
Away from distress, away from myself
I'm heinous, I'm dangerous, I'm contagious
I'm a flesh backed book with open pages
Give me a home and keep me safe
If you can that is
Hide the pen
Hide your fears
From this place I've created
Made up, pre-dated
This imagination
Is lethal
It's my time to
Face my fears, fight to the death, but I'm already dead
So what is there to lose
If I lose myself in my, wave of life
Pull me out and tell me who I am
Free me from the bars that hold me
