Were Going Down

(album: The Reason: A Defense Mechanism - 2014)

[Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic:]
All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They've got
All the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down
They say everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down

[OneRepublic:]
Do you think I'm special?
Do you think I'm nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?
Between the noise you hear, and the sounds you like
Are we just sinking the ocean of faces?
It can't be possible, the rain can fall
Only when it's over our heads
The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away
Over the world that's dead
They've got, they've got

[QuESt:]
(Oh yeah we going down, down, down)
(Oh yeah we going down, down, down)

This is how it starts when the entourage parts
And the money ain't abundant and you gotta cut your cards
What a loss, now let this be a lesson learned
Living in sin, you never can win, but we can pretend, this isn't the end
So nigga just pass the bottles of gin, I'll chase it with shots of shame
Let the pretty girls in cause they only after fame

[QuESt & Ms. Neo:]
And we like it, 'specially when they get all excited
But meanwhile, let the club make us feel like giants
We yelling out (Ay!) Nigga we don't give a fuck
We ain't trying to hear that bullshit, pour that liquor up
While we yelling out (Ay!) You fucking with my buzz
I ain't trying to show love, I just wanna live it up

[QuESt:]
For one of the laughs cause homie my life's been kicking me straight in my ass
Living too fast, I hustle for cash, the stash and bash, and luxury's trash
Let me live! See, I know what's going on
I don't wanna face failure cause I know that I was wrong making

[QuESt:]
(Oh yeah we going down, down, down)
(Oh yeah we going down, down, down)

[QuESt & Ms. Neo:]
Just press your best and you can make it where you wanna be
Dripping in diamonds, living lavish luxuriously
But they don't tell you how to manage it to last long
We just wanna touch the sky, see the ground and past on

[QuESt:]
Welcome to a series of unfortunate events
Where niggas repent, where pockets is lints
It's blessings of life became a resent
For choices that led to lack of regret
But where's your head when people that bled for you
Not to shed with them to the shed
Cause you lose a head and tried to forget, huh

[QuESt & Ms. Neo:]
I know, I know, I know you was on your high horse
Thought they tried to hold you back, so you tried to ride off

[QuESt:]
Drown your pain in ménages, the foreign whips and Rosé
Then face the fact there's no way that everything's gonna be okay
Look, if life's a bitch then karma's Kathleen Gran [?]
Should've been faithful, the fall is where the final scene stands
You can deny it, try it, and celebrate defeat
And wake up feeling opposite of fresh, deceased making

[QuESt:]
(Oh yeah we going down, down, down)
(Oh yeah we going down, down, down)

All the rights moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down

All the rights moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down

All the rights moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down

All the rights moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down
