Dot bounces right back with his second certified slapper of 2021, “Been Down”. This new release finds Dot channeling his creativity from a more optimistic corner of his world. Leaving no seconds to waste, Cromwell starts the record sharing his ups and downs while insisting he’s experienced it all be...
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Wave riders, y'all looking like Phelps
Slave owners put your hits on the shelf
My masters in the crib in the tuck
I'm appearing courtesy of myself, woah
Why ya girl calling me a real one? Woah
Heart on ice, yeah, I feel numb, woah
Give the green light, they gonna peel something, woah
Yeah, they out of order, no chill button
Be advised, I don't know the vibes
Don't try to hit me with the bro-bro, uh
This industry, no we not in the streets
Yeah, I hear you, for me it's a no
[Refrain]
I'm amazed, yeah, my mind's a maze
I been lost for days
In a daze, running different ways
But I'm not afraid
[Chorus]
I been down, I been down
Been looking forward, tryna find my way out, my way out
The universe been telling me I gotta choose now
I'm breaking rules now
The way I feel, I ain't got nothing to lose now
I been down, I been down
Been looking forward, tryna find my way out, my way out
The universe been telling me I gotta choose now
I'm breaking rules now
The way I feel, I ain't got nothing to lose now
[Verse 2]
Confidence the only thing that I got
Blindfolded, still I'm taking the shot
Pulling up from the logo, I'm Steph
No shortcuts taking the steps
Lyrical exercising, no rest
These ain't verses, I'm just putting up reps
What we talking if it ain't about checks?
Got a problem, say it all with your chest
Spilling feelings, hope they clean up the mess
But escalate it, we gonna clean up the rest
Keep it moving, you don't need to attest
It been this way since the steps
[Refrain]
I'm amazed, yeah, my mind's a maze
I been lost for days
In a daze, running different ways
But I'm not afraid
[Chorus]
I been down, I been down
Been looking forward, tryna find my way out, my way out
The universe been telling me I gotta choose now
I'm breaking rules now
The way I feel, I ain't got nothing to lose now
I been down, I been down
Been looking forward, tryna find my way out, my way out
The universe been telling me I gotta choose now
I'm breaking rules now
The way I feel, I ain't got nothing to lose now
