Let You Down - KnowMads

Dedicated, uh

Everyone who never let you down

Look (let's go! let’s go!)

This is for the ones who stucked by me just wanted to thank you

'cause without you I felt like I ain’t at an anchor

Ain’t had the courage or I ain’t had the answer

Not that daring nothing promised so I’m taking my chances

Grandma called me Thomas, used to say that I’m handsome

Life hit you hard with some things you can’t plan for

Can you say to somebody when they’re battling cancer

Said th flesh ain’t permanent th soul ain’t tempa

This ain’t a choice this is what I was made for

Straight from my path made mistakes that I’ve paid for

Front from the plug just to play our advances

I was smoking, doing drugs, selling right on campus

Back then I figured I would blow up fastest

I was living in the basement on a blow up mattress

We was young getting cash we ain’t pay no taxes

You could say what you want homie we made classics

Feel it in your tune dog you all capped

I made more of rap than you made of packs

I’ve been rock bottom lost and I still crawled back

Went back and graduated college at the top of my class

Then we came too far so I can’t fall back

I got homies still using it I can’t call back

Me and my sister used to watch al that

Made a half a million dollars baby thats all facts

Lights, Fame, Flights, Planes

At times it gets painful to face life changes

I just want to get the world hyped on stages

Have my song jumping on a Spotify playlist

Used to pray to god that the world gonna play this

Boy had to come up cause there ain’t no one to save us

Swear that the music all I’ve ever had faith in

Sound like 15 years in the making (Whooo)

And I don’t want to give you up

No I don’t want to live without

I don’t want to let you go

No I don’t want to let you down (love you)

I don’t want to give you up (fire)

No I don’t want to live without

I don’t want to let you go (yeah)

No I don’t want to let you down

Burning CD’s at first we just passed them out

We used to crash parties rapping in the back of the house

'Till we passed out crashing on a pull-out couch

Woke up trying yo figure out who stole my ounce (Ha Ha)

Gatekeeperes in my town would deny our clout

So we was popping out of state both had our doubts

'Till our east coast fans even more down south

Started coming out of pocket just to fly us out

'Cause success in this world it ain’t easy to find

But what can one man do

That’s for me to decide

They told me find something else

Yeah believe me I’ve tried

Said I was going back to school

I ain’t even applied

I was chasing my dream that’s the reason I lied

Can’t count how many times homie we could’ve died

When my pockets got low used to eating my pride

So I hustled all summer put my team on the ride

Whippin' the jeep in the winter with no heater inside

Throw a dollar in the tank just to keep it alive

Seen them standing in the cold looking eager in line

But didn’t know that they was waiting just for me to arrive

Music with meaning is powerful beats in the ryhmes

Make these haters get sour like they squeezin' a lime

Made my mama so proud when she see me she cried

No I can’t let you down

Can’t leave you behind

When I’m on this road

Knowledge, bro, Confidence, Hope, Promises I broke

From the bottom of my rows to the top I’ll go

So close can’t stop this is all I know

White tears from my eyes for those thoughts alone

'Cause five years passed by you ain’t call my phone

Moved six times but nowhere I can call my home

For all the pain that we share now I’ve got my own

Yeah

And I don’t want to give you up

No I don’t want to live without

I don’t want to let you go

No I don’t want to let you down

I don’t want to give you up

No I don’t want to live without

I don’t want to let you go

No I don’t want to let you down

Walking on this road again

Certain 'body got me feeling down and out

Every time I stop and wonder where you’ve been

Swear I see your face move across the clouds

I’ve been running through the rain again

I’m gonna keep going till the sun come out

'Cause even though you’re not around

I don’t wanna-- I don’t wanna let you down

No I don’t wanna let you down

I’m gonna keep going till the sun come out

I don’t wanna let you down
