When I Was Down Lyrics

[Chorus]
It only feels good when you come up
Cause I remember how it was when I was down
Thought I forgot? (Nah)
Nobody on my block thought I would pop (f**k ya'all)

When you on top niggaz want you shot
Why do you think we still keep all these guns around?
Ain't nothing change
I'm still the same

[Verse 1]
I'm just getting out of my bed
The pain in my head from a hang over
It's hard as hell to remain sober
I'm looking swell on that range rover
Soldier, And my bitch don't know nothing more than what I told her
Ever since the stoller
I've been a roller
A rider, a lot of shit changed now that i'm older
Move over, nigga this is my shit now
You see the way his head spin whenever I wear brown
The game's f**ked up if I sit down
So I get up
Strap my vest under my shirt, button my shit up
Then roll through the crowd, lit up
Just to hurt their stomachs from the result of a thousand push-ups
You gotta love how i'm doing this
If I get board, i'm gonna call Jacob, tell put a little brew in this
Haters wanna ruined this
Cause I get paid and I walk around high all day like a stewardest

[Chorus]
It only feels good when you come up
Cause I remember how it was when I was down
Thought I forgot?
Nobody on my block thought I would pop (Yeah)

When you on top niggaz want you shot
Why do you think we still keep all these guns around?
Ain't nothing change
I'm still the same

[Verse 2]
The way I deliver these verses
Tends to keep the song alive
All the weak shit crumble only the strong survive
And with that in mind
I'm tusling with 3 or 4 chicks at a time
Fore fists about to blind
Rubber grips by the spine
I'm lazy as hell
But the chicks love the ground
The strip love the crown
I try to keep my bars so good so they don't get knocked
And run into a pit stop before a shit pop
It's all f**ked up, niggaz pointing finger in the court room
Till the consequences and cooperating get brought to him (Snitch!)
And ya'll know the punishment for those that past
It's a closed casket, black bag made of plastic
Ever since I blew I...
Been listening to [????]
Now i'm out in [????]
Niggaz never knew I
Making it first cla*s whenever I do fly
Knowing Jake wanted to see the whole crew fry

[Chorus]
It only feels good when you come up
Cause I remember how it was when I was down (Haha)
Thought I forgot?
Nobody on my block thought I would pop (Yeah)

When you on top niggaz want you shot
Why do you think we still keep all these guns around? (Haha)
Ain't nothing change
I'm still the same
