Chris Athens - Stay Down lyrics

[Hook] Follow all the way don't find a way out How long can you stay down How long can you stay down, now now All my life been caught inside the chase now How long can you stay down How long can you stay down, now now [Verse 1] Conversations with you about God and where I'm going And talks with God about you and those same topics Want to buy my mom a summer house off in the tropics where she can worry about the water and not the contents in our wallets Got some things moving and booming now it has to be major Skipped on a major been running court the scores in my favor Knew this was coming since Chapman Hall with the music playing Only concerned with discussions from what the crew was saying Like who was playing those records back in the early days And who was checking me then While looking back on those hurricanes in my freshman year so thankful when I took the flight It changed my life when I played my cards and I rolled the dice I talked to Ethan and told him I think that year was a dream we just got to live and those beats we kept on repeat just might take us above the rim and around the country if not the globe Those big talks in a small room we just had to grow [Hook] Follow all the way don't find a way out How long can you stay down How long can you stay down, now now All my life been caught inside the chase now How long can you stay down How long can you stay down, now now [Verse 2] Run it back Don't ask to see it I'm not done with that I need that peace of mind that you might be the one for that Fly out the country got you wondering just where I'm at And if we're good and if I'm gon' prove it just make it last Just make it happen and sh** the team gon' push it forever I got my sh** together I got my squad on my jersey from A-T-L to New Jersey I always knew it was worth it they kept me humble and working Remember searching for purpose back in the day when my only focus was true connection I guess it still is but now they move when I send a message I send my best to ones who neglected to find perspective Or fell off the map when they never figured to check directions Scared I'm losing all my friends by working this hard I say I'm working for y'all But they don't see it like that Searching for balance between obsession and pa**ion I might be pa**ing the limit I go missing still bring it right back yeah [Hook] Follow all the way don't find a way out How long can you stay down How long can you stay down, now now All my life been caught inside the chase now How long can you stay down How long can you stay down, now now
