Bring us down by Kobza Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to be so broke I couldn't even afford breakfast
Then I made my first mill and crossed it off my checklist
My flow is reckless I hope that you respect this
But I'll never spend a million dollars on a necklace
Instead of buying jewels I'd just give it all to charity
And you know what no one can compare to me
A soul for a record deal that don't seem fair to me
But I'll never sell out and today that is rare indeed
The selfish get what they deserve because there ain't no fair in greed
And I guarantee it you will never put no fear in me
The shit I've been through just made me who I am today
If you want some real change then I should be your candidate
You bitches wanna settle down I'm not the man to date
But I am the man to pay which makes me the man to hate
Don't waste your time playing games because I'm not the man to play
But I got more fight in me then the bay at Mandalay
I'm always gonna be real and you can't debate
Struggling can't be my fate because someday I'm gonna be great
[Hook]
Haters try to bring us down, but they'll never bring us down
Haters try to beat us down, but they'll never beat us down
Haters try to defeat us now, but they'll never defeat us now
Since they can't beat us now, the haters all probably wanna be us now
[Verse 2]
Live my life to the fullest make the best of every second
Never neglected all the people I've affected
I'm so underground that I'll never be detected
But if I died today atleast I'd be respected
My life could end today so I make the best of every minute
My songs may never have been hits, but I'm still confident
No matter the shit I get in I'm always gonna be grinnin
You're never gonna be winnin because you're just trying to fit in
If I had a shit or a fuck I wouldn't give it
But only a fool wouldn't love the life you're givin
But you know that you ain't been shit
If I told you the truth about life you wouldn't get it
You'll never stop me the fire that burns has been lit
TK is a true soldier bet you'll never see him quit
Haters saw me alone and then they said jump him quick
So I hit 'em with a swift kick and flipped 'em like a gymnast
Never know when it will end so I make the best of every hour
Now that I have the power the haters are all cowards
Always swinging for the fences like Joe Mauer
Because my life could come crashin down like both towers
You like the new style? me and Chad the founders
We stick out like 3d and you flat like a flounder
Bitches all love me more than they fuckin love flowers
My phone is water proof so I can hustle in the shower
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Pain just makes you stronger and strugglin just makes you wiser
And fuck all the haters cuz the hate just feeds the fire
If it motivates us to get what we desire
I spit the truth, today's mainstream rappers are paid to be liars
You can mark my words on my verse their lies will emerge
The truth will never be heard because the truth is all obscured
If I try to spit the truth they'll say that it's absurd
But there is no fuckin way that I could put it in one verse
My mind's always lookin forward you can't put it in reverse
And I always make the best of my life because I know it could be worse
Debt is a curse, that you have to reimburse
And there ain't no fucking cure so you're always gonna be immersed
To make sure that it works, they make sure that it hurts
They'll take all your money first, then take everything that's yours
I always use discretion, but based on my first impression
You have an obsession with your possessions
Stuck in this recession with no sigh of progression
Which leads to depression, aggression, oppression
Ain't no point in stressin, just try to count your blessings
But if your still gonna bitch I'm guessin you'll never learn your lesson
[Hook x2]
