Don't Come Down Lyrics

Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears

As a child I was foul
Ma, I couldn't understand them things that came out your mouth
You would fuss, 'cuz till your blood pressure was up
Then give up and slouch on the couch and drink ya liquor
A hard headed nigga I was, quick temper

Short attention span, not attending cla*s
What a dummy, I would run over you honey
You confront me and say "Obie, you no longer have a Mommy"

Don't use my phone, don't even eat my food
Matter of fact we don't speak and it was just me and you
In the house with the mouse and them traps and that gat
Waitin' on the day for you to pull that trigger back

Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears

"You tryin' to kill me boy, that's what you wanna do, kill me?
Ma you're not feelin' me, the beepers not that drastic
Blasted bastard, you're lying
You tuck plastic freezer bags with dope inside of 'em"

She knew but she hated that it was true
"I done raised two boys, I can do away with you"
The locks changed and the nights got colder
I'm slangin' boulders lookin' like, lookin' like a boat of toga

But f**k it 'em the O'Ster, I'm down for mines Ma
She ride by my corner like I'm not gon' cry
I will not rid the pain of watchin' my youngest man
On the corner slanging cain to callin' the cops

Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears

Even though I left the house wrong
Seventeen years old on my own, using these streets as my home
There's no need to prolong this beef dear I love you
Miss Elenor Trice, I place no one above you

You the reason when I hustle, I knew to stack
The reason when I opened up mics, I knew to rip
Your ethics you en stored in this hectic young brotha
Rubbed off after all, now look at your boy

When they ask about me now, you don't just put your head down
Straighten up Ma, you could smile now proud
Everything's kosher with the boisterous O'Ster
Let's get closer, so regrets never approach us

Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears

Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
Don't come down, things will always work out now
So when you find yourself in tears
