Downset
Downset

Well, I'm doing this from that place

Where the young bodies stick to the 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 time's 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!

Down! 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 Crash 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

Pee-ping 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!

Down! 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 ya

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 words

I got the voice of the voiceless and life comes first


So what you're gonna do? What you're gonna do?

What you're 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 multi-ethic ethics

Division is wicked and Downset ain't with it

My word is my fire for life and love is the sound

You gotta kill me to silence me, fool, you can't keep me down


Downset at the bottom! On the come up to say some

Down! Downset at the bottom! Freedom in a cage

Down! Downset at the bottom! On the come up to say some

Down! Down! Down! Down!
