Let Down

(album: The De2our - 2020)

[Ekoh:]
(Check) these demons, I let 'em in
Feeling 'em gone in the head again
Look in the eyes, and you can devise
I'm off of the medicine
They've been tryna stop me
"Jeff, you need to keep it down"
Like, y'all muhfuckers just don't know the things I start to think about
Highly impressionable and I'm often misled
I'm going Red Queen again, off with their heads!
And I'm just looking at the world through a different lens
Yeah, your homies think you're dope, but you should find some better friends
Smashing this I'm only on my first Aladdin wish
Ran out of quips and went and copped a new expansion kit
I swear to god, y'all really think you know what savage is
This ain't a hero's journey, it's the origin of Anakin
Taking a beat when I get it and breaking it down on a chemical level
I'm moving around every molecule making a different element
Then I'll be selling it
Keep it developing knowing through everything
We got the people develop dependency
Doing it all and they fuck with us heavily
This isn't rap it's some verbal amphetamines
Why they letting me keep this up?
I should be gone, just lock me up
And hide me in the studio before I hurt someone I love
Been off the drugs and said I'd never touch the pills again
But I still move enough dope shit to kill a million men
Yeah, it's Judgement Day when I fire off
A T-000 prototype that got the wires crossed
I'm biting off with more than I can chew but I still love it
No matter what I do, they still think I'm a motherfucking

Letdown
Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out
And you're gonna give in to them
'Cause you're a letdown
Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out
And you're gonna give in to them
'Cause you're a letdown

[Futuristic:]
They've been watching me, executed this properly
I cop some properties, I keep flipping dough like Monopoly
Stepped in the boxing ring with my fears
And they left a knot on me
Responsibly attack the features, they know I don't jot for free
Mama's shopping spree, I remodeled the kitchen, obviously
Laid the fake grass in the yard a spot so the dog can pee
But views is slowing down, and the shows ain't as packed
'Cause I switched up all my raps, I used to be a hot commodity, but
They don't be seeing the meaning they want me to spit and repeat it
Do it again and again, if I switch, they delete it
My progress is often impeded
A vision, I seen it, I stepped on the scene with the meanest, I mean it
Then I started eating
Grew and I changed
My life ain't the same as the day when you first heard me come through the speakers
They mind is the weakest, inspired since I was a fetus
Most fiending so give me a deal, then I got a mil', then I got another
But sometimes I wanna just dip off and chill
They want the old me, they don't know me, it's hard to keep 'em all still
They don't let up and I won't eat it
Even if they think that I will, 'cause

I be on my drive, I been going hard
Don't even know what the boy be on
You can say your piece, but I'm saying "Peace"
Something that I'll never be, is a

Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out
And you're gonna give in to them
'Cause you're a letdown
Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out
And you're gonna give in to them
'Cause you're a letdown

And they said, "This a lonely road"
But with the voices in my head, I know I'm not alone
I felt the pressure to setting too many goals
Well, I guess that every rainbow doesn't end in a pot of gold
Yeah, I know there ain't a lot of people like me
Writing out these pressures in my head
I spent my whole life fighting
With all of these critics just saying that I should settle down
Ekoh and Futuristic, bitch, now tell me who's the

Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out
And you're gonna give in to them
'Cause you're a letdown
Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out
And you're gonna give in to them
'Cause you're a letdown
