Lyrics

Barney Artist

[Verse 1: Barney Artist]

London livin'

We be livin' up in London

My [?]

Has been stuck in my mind

I've been floppin'

I'm chillin' in this lifestyle

Aiming for [?] things

My mind's [?]

Feeling like a cycle

Wait

Catch it again

A battle with friends

And then protectin' me

My ambition

Never seems to assemble

[?]

Dreams that i have to mend

Got me feeling

Like [?]

This prayer don't ever end

Nah

Ruffin' it

Holdin' something

You lovin' it

Bluffin' it

So no one else can mock with it

Stuck with [?]

[?] more prayin

You end up with it

People askin' "What's up with it?"

Give me 5 like [?]

Wait

I can't lie

The dance creepin' in

Little sister askin' me

[?]

Music life ain't the easiest

Your heart's in the bin

I suppose that you start

In this thing

[Chorus]

Down

I hope you can hold me down

Like nobody is around

I hope you can hold me down

Hope we evolve into something

I hope we

Can [?] through the problems

I hope we

[?] to something

[Verse 2: Barney Artist]

[?]

[Chorus]

Down

I hope you can hold me down

Like nobody is around

I hope you can hold me down

Hope we evolve into something

I hope we

Can [?] through the problems

I hope we

[?] to something
