Don't Come Down

(album: Cheers - 2003)

Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
So when you find yourself in pieces

As a child I was foul (uh)
Ma, I couldn't understand them things that came out yo mouth (daddies ain't shit)
You would fuss, cuss 'til your blood pressure was up,
Then give up and slouch on the couch and drink your liquor (fuck you boy)
A hard-headed nigga I was, quick temper,
Short attention span not attending class (no)
What a dummy, I would run over you honey
You confront me and say "Obie you no longer have a mommy" (I don't know you)
Don't use my phone, don't even eat my food
Matter of fact, don't speak and it was just me and you (just us)
In the house, with that mouse, and them traps and that gat
Waiting on the day for you to pull the trigger back (c'mon)

[Chorus]
Don't come down things will always work out (I'm sorry)
Don't come down things will always work out (I messed up)
Don't come down things will always work out (I Did wrong yo)
So when you find yourself in pieces

You trying to kill me boy (no!)
That's what you wanna do, kill me (kill me)
Ma, your not feeling me, the beef is not that drastic (its a beat)
Weed blasted bastard, You're lying (you're lyin')
You tuck plastic freezer bags with dope inside of 'em
She knew, (damn)
but she hated that it was true
I done raised two boys (two boys) I can do away with you
The locks changed, and the nights got colder,
I'm slanging boulders, looking like a boulder toker
But fuck it, I'm the oldest
I'm down for mines Ma,
She ride by my corner like
I'm not gonna cry! (no)
I would not reap the pain (no) of watching my youngest man, (no)
On the corner slanging 'cane, I'm calling the cops

[Chorus]
Don't come down things will always work out (I'm sorry)
Don't come down things will always work out (I messed up)
Don't come down things will always work out (I Did wrong yo)
So when you find yourself in pieces

Ma, even though I left the house wrong, (what)
Seventeen years old on my own (yea)
Using these streets as my home (yea)
There's no reason to prolong this beef dear, I love you (love you!)
Ms. Eleanor Trice I place no one above you (above you!)
You the reason when I hustle, I knew to stack (stack that)
The reason when I opened up mics I knew to rip (rip that)
The ethics you enstored in this hectic young brother
Rubbed off after all, now look at your boy (look)
when they ask about me now you won't just put your head down (nah)
Straighten up Ma, you can smile now proud (yea)
Everything's kosher with the boaster is oldest (cool)
Let's get closer
So regrets never approach us

[Chorus]
Don't come down things will always work out (I'm sorry)
Don't come down things will always work out (I messed up)
Don't come down things will always work out (I Did wrong yo)
So when you find yourself in pieces

Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
So when you find yourself in pieces
