Brinkworth - Down Here Lyrics

They dont understand what its like living life down here
Been underground so long... i'll be dammned if imma die down here
Know that i have walked the roads of the real emcees
Its that fire thats instilled in me
Only working with the real emcees that i meet down here

Its about time that i do this
Mic checked go straight in and kill it
No more sitting thinking what if i can make it
I can do this
I been so laid back i admit it
But I been listening to all them others spitting and they clueless
No depth so slack with their lyrics
Yet so many out there claiming they're the best but they aint prove shit
So... thought i better come back for a minute
Like... check out these flows ive got... im bout to put the focus on me
They been so quick to tell the people they wrote their own... please
They only present cuz they bought from a ghost what they preach
At a level where a little exposure gets peak
With the devils on my shoulder i chose to not speak
Wanna talk about development but they dont see
That the only one to better this person is me
But i been living like a shell of this person
A kinda devilish version
Aint picked a pen up all pent up and for a venomous wordsmith thats peak
I been walking through this hell and resurfaced all disshevelled amd nervous
But its those lessons ive learnt that made me
So let me break it down for those who aint heard
I finally found a way to make this pain work
Its about time I get to eat round here
Done waiting in line they best be filling up my plate first

Cuz they dont understand what its like living life down here
Been underground so long... i'll be dammned if imma die down here
Know that i have walked the same roads of those real emcees
Its that fire thats instilled in me
Only working with the real emcees that i meet down here

So whats its like down here
Know there aint no life down here
So many sacrifice their lives to get a slice down here
And if you weak they gonna see that in your eyes down here
Cant hide down here... no disguise down here
They Smell fear like the demons in the night down here
Its All darkness
Know there aint no lights down here
So its no wonder why they wonder why that Im down here... but uhhhh
I got my soul on lock and i am never unnearthing that key
Everynight i fight the demons who lurk in my sleep
And i got fed up of these people disturbing my dreams
I been thru hell and back and when i resurfaced i seen
Most the people who inspired my thoughts have turned weak
In social media they lions and wolves and sooo deep
But in reality they liars and more so like sheep
Now let me tell you bout the years i did service
For some people at first which,were considered unheard of, i considered them worth it
Taught myself to engineer so i could give em a purpose
Showed em how to ride a rhythm even written em verses
Send the word out for a feature but they wouldn't return it
Guess they couldn't match the fire that i put in my furnace look
You can feel a way but know I got you
But down here..know I'm top 2 and im not 2

Cuz they dont understand what its like living life down here
Been underground so long... i'll be dammned if imma die down here
Know that i have walked the same roads of those real emcees
Its that fire thats instilled in me
Only working with the real emcees that i meet down here
