Dom McLennon - Down lyrics

Down for my people, but are they down for me? I look at my surroundings and what I am bound to be I'm treated like revolving doors from what your eyes can see These people waltzing in and out my life it's sad to me… It's like a tragedy, am I a travesty? Sometimes I feel pathetic like I'm just a comedy Cause I laugh at myself when I look at my dispositions When the people that I think are close exclude me in decisions The simple things are hardest it's a fact It's hard to lay to rest but I can lay a couple tracks And I can write a paper that will an*lyze a hook But I can't judge a cover cause my life is more than looks We feed off our emotions; some of us tend to starve Memory lane has potholes and it's share of battle scars One day your plans and goals were concrete, but now it's hard And it's not long til' your broken dreams become a boulevard You're walking down the street and see a picture Of you and a past lover and realize how much you miss 'em The only thing we could wish for would be f**ing closure But nothing goes as planned when things seem to be truly over Break up the bonds and make a bridge from all the pieces I hope it's been traversed before you set it all ablaze We live and learn from life although we question all the reasons But all that we can do in our story is turn the page Down and out, but my last name ain't Mescudi I'm loathed by a couple, but some other people love me So under the radar most think that they are just above me But the totem pole shows strength from the bottom up, you must see I have a vision, I know I can achieve it But I don't know what waits for me when I finally reach it And all these revelations that I have of people preaching The real and fake are usually the ones guilty of cheating Cutting all the corners, confusing noise and sound Because if you can't recognize real? then look around And I know that one day I'll be the king and hold a crown But if I have no royal court the empire's falling down
