Long Way Down ft. A-DOT TAYLOR Lyrics

It's a long way down

You don't wanna end up fallin'

When you get to the top

It's a long way down

You know you gon' end up crawlin'

Till you hit it or stop

All these years, I done played the bench

I done paid my dues, I done paid my debts

I'm tryin' pull up in the Wraith or Benz

New glow, Hublot or the plain Patek

I'm takin' off like a plane or jet

I'm tryin' to attain Drake success

Life's a gamble, place your bets

The nine I handle separate your chest

From the rest of your body, the lesson is probably

That messin' with Nati will end with a shotty

Pressed up against all your friends and your posse

I'm just tryin' to get the cheddar and broccoli

I'm trying pull up in the 'Vette or the 'Rarri

Sorry, I'm not attending your party

Lions & Crows - man, I been on safari

Ain't no one alive that could threaten to harm me

It's a long way down

You don't wanna end up fallin'

When you get to the top

It's a long way down

You know you gon' end up crawlin'

Till you hit it or stop

See, that fall is so goddamn humbling

But what's a peak to a mountain that's crumblin'?

It's hard bein' a starvin' artist while ya stomach's rumblin'

The pain is troublin'

Callin' for a fair catch but you're fumblin'

Money talks but your pockets are mumblin'

Gotta learn to stretch it out while you're hustlin'

That's a vital piece to the puzzle that you're puzzlin'

See, depression got you drownin' at the bottom of the bottle

That you guzzlin', you gotta let that shit go

Gotta cut split ends just to see growth

Fake friends turn flaky when you itch, bro

I'm allergic to that fraud behavior

Niggas crossed God, cool, I don't need no savior

Y'all can all eat a dick for flavor

'Cause I'm back cooking up like an incubator, huh

Chef Dot, shit, they think I cater

But I'm more militant, nigga, think Al Qaeda

I terrorize when I think on paper

Now I got 'em terrified like Adolf vapors, huh

They gassed up; matter fact, never been solid

Just known for the block like Ben Wallace

When it comes to a shot, never been valid

Just benefiting off of others, DJ Khaled

See these nigga's lack talent

No balance, just swag in place

Another John doe tryin' to save face

In a mistaken identity case

You can't get rich off minimum wage

How you, know the paper if you ain't read the page?

So I, treat a fall from grace as leap of faith

I'm the same in and out the booth

The man of steel never needed a cape, mothafucka!

It's a long way down

You don't wanna end up fallin'

When you get to the top

It's a long way down

You know you gon' end up crawlin'

Till you hit it or stop

Lead by example, respect the lyricist

My genius is ample, no guest appearances

Remix the sample, don't check for clearances

I don't even think your threats are serious

This work ethic erected pyramids

When I wreck it's a fuckin' near death experience

Fuck the rest; if I ain't the best, I'm nearin' it

Cut the check, I bet your friends revering it

I'm back with a difficult task

No ceilings attached, 'bout to kill 'em on wax

Ski mask with the clip in the gat

Didn't give 'em a chance like we did in the past

The light is gone, had to fill in the cracks

Now I'm twice as strong and I'm feelin' relaxed

I'm here to right the wrongs of a pitiless past

I'm deliverin' wrath; yo, the villain is back, yeah!

It's a long way down

You don't wanna end up fallin'

When you get to the top

It's a long way down

You know you gon' end up crawlin'

Till you hit it or stop
