DOWN BAD
Downfall Echoes: Love, Regret, and the City of Angels
Lyrics
Heard it's bittersweet on your tongue when you talk about me
There's a mixed emotion when you talk about me.
In the same city, can't run from your thoughts about me
Even in the same city, you can't escape thoughts about me.
I got eyes all around so you watch what you say now
I'm observant, so be careful with your words.
'Fraid it'll make it all the way down
Fearful it might spread widely.
Wish you would say it to my face now, yeah
Challenge to say it directly to my face.
Far from bein' grounded, don't know who's around it
Not grounded, unsure of the people around.
Gassed it up and made you feel like it was bad enough to (love you)
False confidence made you believe it was bad enough to love you.
Hit the dash, yeah
Speeding away, escaping.
Testin' all your gangster from your past, yeah
Testing your toughness from the past.
Know just what to say to make you mad, yeah
Know exactly what to say to provoke anger.
You fucked around now you out there
Made a mistake, now facing consequences.
You down bad now you out there
In a difficult situation now due to poor choices.
But did you miss bein' out there?
Reflecting on whether being in this situation is missed.
You down bad now you out there
Still facing challenges and difficulties.
Is that your new job?
Asking if your current situation is your new reality.
Ridin' with your doors on suicide
Driving recklessly, putting yourself at risk.
You and me split up that's true to vibe
We separated, and it's the authentic vibe.
That's what took you out that's true to mines
The reason for your downfall is genuine to mine.
If you knew better, you'll do better
If you knew better, you would do better.
If you choose better, you'll move better
Choosing better leads to improved movement.
Just another boy in the city of angels
Just another guy in the city of angels (Los Angeles).
If you don't know a thing, all you know is your angles
Unaware of much, focused only on your perspective.
All I know is I couldn't deal with the changes
Dealing with changes is challenging.
All I know is I couldn't deal with a stranger
Struggling with unfamiliarity and dealing with strangers.
Pulled up in a rental so I asked where the Range is
Arrived in a temporary situation, asking about a permanent one.
Know you dangerous
Acknowledging the danger you pose.
You fucked around now you out there
Facing consequences for your actions.
You down bad now you out there
In a difficult situation now due to poor choices.
But did you miss bein' out there? (But did you miss it?)
Reflecting on whether being in this situation is missed.
You down bad now you out there
Still facing challenges and difficulties.
You fucked around now you out there
Made a mistake, now facing consequences.
Now you out there, babe (now you out there)
Currently in that challenging situation.
Now you out there baby
Emphasizing the current state of being out there.
(You out there)
Reiterating the idea of being out there.
(You out there)
Repeating the notion of being out there.
Now you out there baby, oh
Affirming the current state of being out there.
