Downset Songtext
von downset.

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 L.A. underground
The plan from the man is to demand they keep 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!
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 programm 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 worse
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!
