"Downset" lyrics
Well, I'm doing this from that place where the young bodies stack to bluest of blue skies
A child grown quick kicking it with an ice pick, age of 8 babyface straight-up scared to die
Seen 1 little, 2 little, 3 little homicides
Kids don't rank so they shank in front of baby eyes
Bullet-scarred! Prison-barred!
The one times got my face to the ground - they want me down
Downset at the bottom!
On the come up to say some!
Down
Downset at the bottom!
Coming up from the slum!
Down! Down! Down! Down!
Bronze complexion!
Converse and khakis enough for the fuss of a C.R.A.S.H. to straight jack me
Brotha brotha brotha how you make 'em get down? systematic static can't stifle the set's sound
Jack for the mic and I'll still get it going on
Making my statement with a fatcap and krylon
Peeping my voice from the LA underground, the plan from the man is to demand they keep me down!
Downset at the bottom
Got ya! Got ya! Yeah, you know I straight got you!
Reveal to heal in our sectarian obstacles
Wipe the dirt off the eyes of the hate child
Damn with the program imposed since the juvenile
Shit is so thick that you don't want to deal with it
Set's got heart to consist like an activist
Ain't going to live in comfort while shit gets worde
I got the voice of the voiceless and life comes first
So what are you going to do? what are you going to do?
What you gonna do when the shit comes down on you?
The set's gonna be down, yeah you know, like we've always
Been, the ghetto survivors got no soldier extinction
The man ain't down with multiethic ethics
Division is wicked and downset ain't with it
My word is my fire for life and love is the sound
You got to kill me to silence me, fool
You can't keep me down
Downset at the bottom!
Freedom in a cage!
A child grown quick kicking it with an ice pick, age of 8 babyface straight-up scared to die
Seen 1 little, 2 little, 3 little homicides
Kids don't rank so they shank in front of baby eyes
Bullet-scarred! Prison-barred!
The one times got my face to the ground - they want me down
Downset at the bottom!
On the come up to say some!
Down
Downset at the bottom!
Coming up from the slum!
Down! Down! Down! Down!
Bronze complexion!
Converse and khakis enough for the fuss of a C.R.A.S.H. to straight jack me
Brotha brotha brotha how you make 'em get down? systematic static can't stifle the set's sound
Jack for the mic and I'll still get it going on
Making my statement with a fatcap and krylon
Peeping my voice from the LA underground, the plan from the man is to demand they keep me down!
Downset at the bottom
Got ya! Got ya! Yeah, you know I straight got you!
Reveal to heal in our sectarian obstacles
Wipe the dirt off the eyes of the hate child
Damn with the program imposed since the juvenile
Shit is so thick that you don't want to deal with it
Set's got heart to consist like an activist
Ain't going to live in comfort while shit gets worde
I got the voice of the voiceless and life comes first
So what are you going to do? what are you going to do?
What you gonna do when the shit comes down on you?
The set's gonna be down, yeah you know, like we've always
Been, the ghetto survivors got no soldier extinction
The man ain't down with multiethic ethics
Division is wicked and downset ain't with it
My word is my fire for life and love is the sound
You got to kill me to silence me, fool
You can't keep me down
Downset at the bottom!
Freedom in a cage!
