Lyrics

DOWN

I am always down every time you hit me up
I can't buckle down and say that it's enough
I'm always coming down (down, down, down, d-down, d-down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, d-down, d-down, down, down) yeah
Almost every night, you're pulling up
Never get me high, high enough
Always coming down (down, down, down, d-down, d-down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, d-down, d-down, down, down)
So is it really love, when I'm up or I'm down?
Is it really love, when I'm up or I'm down?
Is you down, is you down?
When I'm up or I'm down
If the money ain't around
Is you ride or die?
Or is you ridin' out?
Would you leave me high and dry?
Would you dig me out the ground?
Would you leave me here to die, six feet down?
'Cause you were always down, every time I hit you up
It's 3 AM, you tryna fuck
'Cause the club closed down (down, down, down, d-down, d-down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, d-down, d-down, down, down)
Shit has really got me down
This fake as fuck, Hollywood love
Who am I to judge?
Can't look down (down, down, down, d-down, d-down, down, down)
On you (down, down, down, d-down, d-down, down, down)
And I need to make some better life decisions
And these women got me by the balls, I gotta just admit it
It's like a gallery, these cars and clothes and calories
I know damn well she's lyin' when she say she ain't bad for me
I'm down
When I'm up or I'm down
If the money ain't around
Is you ride or die?
Or is you ridin' out?
Would you leave me high and dry?
Would you dig me out the ground?
Would you leave me here to die, six feet down?
'Cause you were always down
