Stay Down

(专辑： Target Practice - 2022)

Let's put all our petty differences to the side, baby
We gon' be unstoppable together, dog
Stick together, we gon' be greater later, by Demun Jones, Adam Calhoun

How you like me now? I ain't tryna flex but
Mommy want a truck so daddy wrote a check, man
I been planting seeds and managed to keep 'em wet
I fertilized the fruit with my blood and my sweat, man
I been on the go, way past, ready-set, man
So many folks that I can't recollect
Setting fire to the stages, packing out the venue
Everybody shows when it's Jones on the menu
I keep jumping hurdles like I'm running for a medal
In and over every obstacle 'cause I refuse to settle
Brick by brick, made it strong in this level
One course at a time, no deals with the devil
Every dollar I got documented and legitimate
Blue badge verified, certified, killing it
Microphone check, one, two, birds up
Middle fingers to the suckers tryna stop me, good luck

Stay down but you stay on your grind
We keep going, bitch you know we gon' get it (go, go)
Wait in line, almost wasting my time
We can't die wondering if we coulda did it (no, no)
Stay down but you stay on your grind
We keep going, bitch you know we gon' get it (go, go)
Wait in line, almost wasting my time
We can't die wondering if we coulda did it (no, no)

I been rocking like the tour bus, knocking on the door like
There's a lot more of us, probably call the coroner
Motherfuckers lie but I'll tell you what the score is
Supply and demand, I show up when there's a shortage, mortgage
Late, ain't paid your dues in weeks
Got a gang of white boys, we don't fuck around with sheep
Need sleep 'fore you're knee-deep in your own pee-pee
Killers listen to me, they keep that shit on repeat
No effort, no sweat off my brow
So F 'em, they don't say that shit when I come around
No question, I'm the best at what I'm doing right now
No flexing, new testament, you looking at the crown
At the top, still starving though like I'm in a cardboard box
Playing dominoes, I was dead broke
Used to shop at the dollar store, now I'm well known
Came a long-ass way from sleeping on the floor, you know

Stay down but you stay on your grind
We keep going, bitch you know we gon' get it (go, go)
Wait in line, almost wasting my time
We can't die wondering if we coulda did it (no, no)
Stay down but you stay on your grind
We keep going, bitch you know we gon' get it (go, go)
Wait in line, almost wasting my time
We can't die wondering if we coulda did it (no, no)

First time I ever met Demun he gave me somewhere to sleep in
A gentleman and a gangster bitch that's my motherfucking people
Watch when we all come together, now how the fuck they gon' beat us?
I ride the beat like a Regal driven by Evel Knievel
Mama, he look like a monster but bitch he sound like a preacher
Jump on the track, baptize the beat like it's a blessing from Jesus
Papaw gon' shout from a distance so all his haters can see it
You do whatever you wanna, b-bitch you better believe it
I swim with sharks and the dolphins, come meet me down in the deep end
I don't do diss rap or records, I take you out when I see you
Bitch, it could our little secret, I'm really tryna be peaceful
And stay away from my demons 'cause we done seen too much evil
Bitch, I done came a long way from the old me
And I ain't scared to take a ass-whooping, you gon' have to show me
It's Dale Carhartt, the OG
I'm in here grinding with my brothers, bitch, you don't work, you don't eat (yes sir)
Bitch, you don't work, you don't eat
Bitch, you don't work, you don't eat

Stay down but you stay on your grind
We keep going, bitch you know we gon' get it (go, go)
Wait in line, almost wasting my time
We can't die wondering if we coulda did it (no, no)
Stay down but you stay on your grind
We keep going, bitch you know we gon' get it (go, go)
Wait in line, almost wasting my time
We can't die wondering if we coulda did it (no, no)
