They Go Low

(album: White Jesus Black Problems - 2022)

Somebody save us
Please somebody save us
Please somebody save us
Please somebody save us

I seen a dead man walking
It was something that I seen before
There's a song he was singing
About a life that he wanted to live
I was never superstitious
Walk under ladders leaning on a wall
But I could see he would crash burn and fall

They go low
Low low low
They go low low low
They go low low low
Till they break you down
They go low
Low low low
They go low low low
They go low low low
Till they break you down

I seen a little boy soldier
With tattoos all over his face
A gang bangers dream mascot
I'm too old so I couldn't relate
There's a song he was singing
About his momma she was digging his grave
With cracked dry hands screaming Jesus name

They go low
They go low low low
They go low low low
They go low low low
Till they break you down
They go low
They go low low low
They go low low low
They go low low low
Till they break you down
Till they break you down
Till they break you down

The Elvis Presley of the ghetto
Baked chicken 'n a side of greens
He sat staring out the window
Pointing fingers at the devils he seen
But some were just his own reflection
He knew the storm was coming soon
That evening he was found dead in his room

They go low
Low low low
They go low low low
They go low low low
Till they break you down
They go low
Low low low
They go low low low
They go low low low
Till they break you down
Till they break you down
