Lyrics

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! Downset at the bottom! On the come up to say some! 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! Downset at the bottom! On the come up to say some! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! They got me 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 program 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 worde 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 multiethnic 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! Imma coming to say some! DOWN Downset at the bottom! Freedom in a cage! DOWN Downset at the bottom! Imma coming to say some! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!
