Goin Down by Slaine
Goin Down lyrics
[Verse 1:]
From where yous is standing it's like I'm top of the planet
A hundred million dollar, six tours rocking, the pop of the camera
Propaganda got you thinking that I'm hopping out Phantoms
But I'm not, I'm in the lab knocking out anthems
My feet are in the industry and and in the street
Off the vodka I'm slanted, jealous whispers got me cocking the hammer
My hellish instincts is still with me
Same brothers willing to be killed or killed with me
Yeah, we still here, I got values instilled in me
That's the code of the corner
Manifested where the street towed through the the odour of marijuana
The future that I owe to my son, the life I owe to my mama
My righteous road to dishonour
Ice that's on the glove's on my palm, icy cold staring crazy savage
Walking the same streets that I grew up in
Pushing the baby carriage and fame stressing me and my lady's marriage
[Chorus:]
Where do I go from here? Up's my only option
Crack the Billboard 100, dying to make the top ten
Everyone that grew up with us from the hometown
Their life's like jets in the Hudson, going down
I can't save em when the fight's only one round
Mary J Blige cause I see em all going down
But I am on the rise and though I prophesize
This is from the bottom of my heart, I apologise
[Verse 2:]
Okay my album getting pushed back, it's sample clearances
And I ain't hide from nothing, create no appearances
I connect with my fans with no interferences
Just as long as I understand this I can't miss
I made a vow to speak for my people, display it proud
If they don't listen to us then I say it louder
My brothers locked in the cell couldn't be prouder
My best friends are dope fiends hooked on the powder
Sometimes my lyrics are strugglers what they look to for power
I promise to ya, I'll never be shook or cower
No I'm not a coward, I stand for something like a tower
Higher than the Eiffel Tower
Reign with the rifle shower, my word's my bond, bond's my word
Word is born, I said this to you on the curb
I swore to God and my mom said I was absurd
But I'm sipping that pot of calming my nerves
[Chorus]
