Jam Baxter - Down lyrics

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

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
