KRS-One - Down the Charts lyrics
[KRS-One - Down the Charts lyrics]
You can't still worry about
The charts position
It's the heart that you're missing
It's the art that you're missing
Just a little something to hold you over
The Kris'Style album on the way, Word Up!
When you're number one, everybody come
But when you drop to two
Everybody still with you
But when you drop to three
Everybody want to see
But when you drop to four
Everybody still adore
But when you drop to five
People will help you to strive
But when you drop to six
You selling every mix
But when you drop to seven
People start guessing
But when you drop to eight, people hesitate
But when you drop to nine
It's when you start to find
That when you drop to ten
You start to lose your friends
When you drop to eleven
You record stops selling
When you drop to twelve
It's everyone for themselves
So when you drop to thirteen
You stop working when you drop for fourteen
No more self esteem you drop to fifteen
Because you live then you seen
When you drop to sixteen
You're now out the scene
When you drop to seventeen
You see things you've never seen
That when you drop to eighteen
You know what it means
So you drop to nineteen, on then to twenty
At nineteen you lose your honey
At twenty your money to a Playboy Bunny
At twenty-one things ain't funny
At twenty-two, you don't know what to do
So you hit twenty-three
You look for security
So you drop to twenty-four
No more can you endure
When you drop to twenty-five
At the bottom you've arrive
When you drop to twenty-six
You're on old-school mix
When you drop to twenty-seven
They tell you to stop step in
When you drop to twenty-eight
You start to meditate
When you drop to twenty-nine
You expand your mind
When you drop to thirty
You see it was all dirty
When you drop to thirty-two
And it occurs to you
When you drop to thirty-three
Now you can see
It's all about skill and the love for the art
Not who's above and who's bellow in the chart
You gotta look in the heart
It's there where you start
I and Hip-Hop are never ever apart, Word!
