Lyrical Analysis of...
Down Here
- Damn I musta hit writer's block,
- see me pulling up to the riders lot
- see there's no mo' haters to write about,
- except a cramped up closet that needs cleaning out.
- Instead of the hoes i was digging out,
- its that one girl i always had a fit about,
- this isn't what I'm about I'm not used to this habitat,
- I was so used to that click 'n clacking
- tail grabbing, bitch yapping, pigs crashing,
- react without reaction which motherfucker's strapping
- i was gonna wait til i graduated,
- a diploma in the folder hopefully, but fuck waiting
- consider me emancipated no more hesitation
- I'm bout make me and these facts stated,
- because here I go I'm reacting, I lost the nails to my closet
- so I guess Imma just put the nail in this coffin
- before shit's starts falling, Kenner City Brawling...
- still ballin' though the rest of 'em's gone 'n, I'm...
- (Hook)
- Denni C Kenner City
- Coming from down here,
- Coming from down here,
- Fuck from 'round here.
- I'm about to break the silence,
- no' mo' speculating violence,
- my fucking cousin's bumming out
- drugging out, heading to the big house,
- and now these eyeballs are turning
- fingers are forming, harmful figures 'n...
- I just send back the gesture without confronting
- they keep pointing... "Looka what he's becoming."
- now ya motherfuckers get suspicious,
- ever since he did this I've become conspicuous
- but I'm actually passed this bullshit ya missed, got away clean 'n
- i lost my role as a player in the game once J gone missing.
- If i was still in the same position,
- i would hang that shit up like a prank call
- didn't know what i was doing i was in the dance hall,
- i went with the beat til i filled the blank wall
- i was no longer just a name on some role call,
- i learned whats real 'n whats fake, like the way you pose dog
- everyone looking to me like i had it made yal,
- if you were living life respected, would you take off?
- [HOOK]
- DOWN HERE...
- Now the life you were introduced to
- has just been taken from you,
- cuz your best friends went missing on you
- and all you get was a hater telling you
- that you won't be seeing him anytime soon,
- and since no one adventured with you
- no one knows about the life your now used to
- and now your in a school with a bunch of rich white dudes
- no body knows about your life 'n you
- and kids don't know about the fight in you,
- so ya pick up a fight in school
- and ya threatened with expulsion.
- Its either life or the hood, choose whats right and whats good,
- and because you're your family's first success son.
- I'm becoming a renegade of what I'm about,
- and I think I'm nearing what i feared about,
- going back for a second route,
- cuz down here just ain't what I'm about.
