Down

Verse 1:
Yo I got an ancient masterpiece, scrawled inside my arteries
Let the devils dine in underground carveries
Me? I just remember fleeting fragments of half my weeks
There's still a couple muddy chapters I can't delete

Little flashes of blue sky and darkened streets
I couldn't tell you if I've changed since my last release
A drunken preacher in his parish barking garbled speech
Can't secrete, the serum you require to keep your heart at peace

I run with flame retardant freaks
And we ain't stopping 'til we've copped a Sterling silver Castle each
I play the game and take my chances, Can’t be assed to cheat
Or just chew your precious deck of cards with sharpened teeth

Half complete or half deceased, depends upon your point of view
Or if you think you've been appointed the anointed few
Me? I've epitomized existence since they snipped the chord
You can't analyse my inner thoughts, Sigmund Fraud

Yeah… And if you ring me when I'm pissed and bored
I'll drag you on a path you ain't equipped to walk Sniffing chalk
Birth whole worlds. Interplanetary intercourse
I ain't trying to save my skin like an Egyptian corpse

Organs stored in terracotta pottery
I keep the one that pumps and palpitates under lock and key
Yeah… I spend my nights lost at sea
Pretty much every single rapper's in my bottom three

Turn a meal to a mass of smashed crockery
Calmness or chaos? Hmm, I'll take option B
She smiled once and now you're bragging like she wants the 'D'
I smiled once… It was horrid G

My inner bliss scheme is fire and that shit's insane
My life's a film I'm still amazed by every single frame
Check… that's 24 coins a second
I pick the slimy chunks of beauty out the imperfections

I'll duck a bitch but not a single question
And everyone's a winner 'til the liquor gets 'em
Ah, the old gin injection. It's sort of funny how I
Ain’t felt as crisp as I did When I had that limb infection

I met this chick, we had a sick connection
But everyday we'd play chicken at busy intersections
I've heard the rumours, heard the whispers, heard the list of legends
But there I am, fuck your misconceptions

Hook:
The scale of the city was enormous
Wet feet hop across borders
Life lies beside me looking gorgeous
She was the bitch that epitomized flawless

That's why I hold her down
Down, down
That's why I hold her down
Down, down
That's why I hold it up
Up, up
I try and hold it up
Up, up

But I still hold it down
Down, down
I still hold it down
Down, down
And always hold it up
Up, up
Always hold it up
Up, up, up, up
