Down - Jam Baxter

Yo I got an ancient masterpiece, scrawled inside my arteries

Let the devils dine in underground carveries

Me?

I just remember fleeting fragments of half my weeks

There’s still a couple muddy chapters I can’t delete

Little flashes of blue sky and darkened streets

I couldn’t tell you if I’ve changed since my last release

A drunken preacher in his parish barking garbled speech

Can’t secrete, the serum you require to keep your heart at peace

I run with flame retardant freaks

And we ain’t stopping 'til we’ve copped a Sterling silver Castle each

I play the game and take my chances, Can’t be assed to cheat

Or just chew your precious deck of cards with sharpened teeth

Half complete or half deceased, depends upon your point of view

Or if you think you’ve been appointed the anointed few

Me?

I’ve epitomized existence since they snipped the chord

You can’t analyse my inner thoughts, Sigmund Fraud

Yeah… And if you ring me when I’m pissed and bored

I’ll drag you on a path you ain’t equipped to walk Sniffing chalk

Birth whole worlds.

Interplanetary intercourse

I ain’t trying to save my skin like an Egyptian corpse

Organs stored in terracotta pottery

I keep the one that pumps and palpitates under lock and key

Yeah… I spend my nights lost at sea

Pretty much every single rapper’s in my bottom three

Turn a meal to a mass of smashed crockery

Calmness or chaos?

Hmm, I’ll take option B

She smiled once and now you’re bragging like she wants the 'D'

I smiled once… It was horrid G

My inner bliss scheme is fire and that shit’s insane

My life’s a film I’m still amazed by every single frame

Check… that’s 24 coins a second

I pick the slimy chunks of beauty out the imperfections

I’ll duck a bitch but not a single question

And everyone’s a winner 'til the liquor gets 'em

Ah, the old gin injection.

It’s sort of funny how I

Ain’t felt as crisp as I did When I had that limb infection

I met this chick, we had a sick connection

But everyday we’d play chicken at busy intersections

I’ve heard the rumours, heard the whispers, heard the list of legends

But there I am, fuck your misconceptions

Hook:

The scale of the city was enormous

Wet feet hop across borders

Life lies beside me looking gorgeous

She was the bitch that epitomized flawless

That’s why I hold her down

Down, down

That’s why I hold her down

Down, down

That’s why I hold it up

Up, up

I try and hold it up

Up, up

But I still hold it down

Down, down

I still hold it down

Down, down

And always hold it up

Up, up

Always hold it up

Up, up, up, up
