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...

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?

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.
