Toni ColletteLowdown-Down Lyrics
[QUEENIE]
Some are born for higher things
Like hitching up to uptown kings
I was born for iron beds and bums
Well alrighty then
That's the lowdown down
You swim with sharks in shallow pools
You get bit, and dem's the rules
I got bit and almost eaten whole
But I liked it, yeah
That's the lowdown down
Some get good at trafficking and souls
I got good at rolling with the rolls
Some got given everything they need
Well that's a lucky break
I steal with I can take and I roll
And I plead
And I duck, oh hey, and I bleed
Some are born to rise above
Sleepless nights and sloegan love, love, love
I was born to ask "why was I born?"
And the answer is...
(spoken)
Get me some more ice, will 'ya?
(singing)
Small town girl, she comes to town
Tin of rouge and strapless gown
Dies a lot before she gets to die
But with a smile, she'll say
"That's the lowdown down"
