[Tom MacDonald - Don’t Look Down lyrics]

I can't hide my frown
My smile is hiding from my mouth
I can't lie
My mind keeps finding time to fight myself
I dive so deep inside
Feel like I died and I'm in hell
Or I'm so high, my eyes can't see the
Ground beneath the clouds don't look down
(Don't look down, don't look down
Don't look down) don't look down
(Don't look down, don't look down
Don't look down) i tried to keep it quiet
Silence all my cries for help
As long as I am rising 'til I'm upside down
I won't look down

This a meteoric rise
Keep ignoring all the horror stories like
So-and-so, got way too famous
And ended up killing himself with
Some pills and a knife, ayy
I am not the one who's gonna self-destruct
Got it out the mud
I came way too far to fail or screw it up
I ain't droppin' balls, I just blew 'em up
Ayy i will never let my mental illness
Be the cause of my downfall
I will never lie to none of
My fans, if I did, it would sound wrong
I will never try convincin' you dummies
This isn't a town hall
Never look down, never look
Down, just look around, y'all
Ayy, all of my demons are here
All I can feel is fear
All I can do is keep bein' myself
And that's what I been doin' for 32 years
All of my haters came out
Chasin' my name for some clout
What are they angry about?
They're climbing as high as their
Ladders can take 'em
And screamin' my name, but I don't look down

Hi, guys, remember me? I'm the white guy
Everybody wanted to cancel, nice try
Too sick, I might die right
Two fists full of middle fingers
I got no time for high fives
Too rich for a drive-by
Pay the pilot on my private jet to
Keep it low and do a fly-by
Take nine knives on a bike ride
Why nine? 'Cause I heard that
A pussy has nine lives
I'm the one that y'all hated
I'm the one who won the game
Got paid and famous
I'm the one who laughed in all they faces
And became the greatest since old Slim Shady
I'm the one who don't care
I'm the one who goes where
No one goes 'cause they're scared
I'm the one who don't choke
When the boat don't float
My throat gets no air
I can barely breathe all the air I need
Oxygen is very thin at the top
I can rarely sleep, stars I'm underneath
Shining too bright, and I can't turn 'em off
I'm high as the birds now
Flying too close to the sun, got a burn, wow
I been turnin' up, and I ain't turnin' down
Maybe I should chill
But I ain't learnin' how
Ayy, I'm not afraid of success
I'm afraid of what happens if I take a rest
I'm afraid that I'll end up
Where I was before in the hood
With no money or food for the rent
I'm scared if I look at the water, I'll drown
So I look at the sky
And deny there's a ground
I'm not scared of the altitude
Up in the clouds
I'm scared of the fall, so I don't look down

Fuck you
Every single motherfuckin' one of you
I can't even see you because
I don't look down (Don't look down)
Hahaha (Don't look down, don't look down)
Yeah (Don't look down)

I can't hide my tears
I dry my eyes and more come out
I can't lie, my fear is suicide
Not bank accounts
Keep my chin up, but my head weighs, like
A million pounds
Feels like my neck might break
I hear it crack, ignore the sound
Don't look down
(Don't look down, don't look down
Don't look down) don't look down
(Don't look down, don't look down
Don't look down) i tried to keep it quiet
Silence all my cries for help
As long as I am rising 'til I'm upside down
I won't look down

This a legendary climb
Stand on the edge of the
Ledge and it's very high
Think of the men who are dead
'Cause it got to their head
At a cemetery time
I ain't the one who gon' throw it away
'Cause I'm feelin' too lonely up here
I ain't the guy who gon'
Break from the pressure
It's snowy, my pipes are not frozen up here

I don't wanna hear about
These YouTube rappers
I am not in that bracket, punk
Billboard plaques all stacked in my mansion
A million cash for my taxes, punk
Call me trash while I produce anthems
Y'all attackin' with plastic guns
I'm the biggest independent rapper
In the fuckin' world
You just live on my planet, punk
Got an acid tongue and massive lungs
Every single track I've done
Has packed a punch
Used to be an addict, yup
I crashed a truck in Canada
Goin' too fast, blackout drunk
I was nice at the start
But the mood all changed
The reactors who trash me for views are lame
Don't ask me to help you remove no claims
If I see you punks, you gon' lose your chains
I am the one who they all called a liar
When I told 'em that I'd help my mom retire
They thought that I'd buy a
New crib and a chain and a ring, and a whip
And some rims for the tires
Guess what? Mom don't work
Sent a 100 grand in a LV purse
Made the album with Nova and Brandon
They own half the masters
I told 'em the fam comes first
Still got the pills that the doctor gave me
To combat the depression and
The panic attacks i'm the type of person who
Won't even take a Tylenol
Even when I got a dozen knives in my back
They're callin' me wack, but I don't react
I don't have time to write raps
Replyin' to trash
I'll meet a whole team, yeah
They're tryin' to cap i'm concrete
But my demons hide in the cracks
I'm the one, I ain't bought liquor for months
And you're lucky I'm sober
I'm nuts when I'm drunk
Mix the whiskey with soda, the man I'd become
Would invite you all over
Put drugs in your punch
When you pass out, I'll wrap you in plastic
And hit you with hammers and flatten
Your skull 'til it's crushed
I don't name names, I don't play games
I just aim, spray and throw out the gun
The rappers who hate act like family now
They're tryna jack my style
Like some hand-me downs
They want a million views
I want a Grammy now
And the closest they'll come
Is they grammy's house
I don't even drink, but I'm plannin' how
I can make a brewery in a massive house
To give free booze out
To these rappin' clowns
And they could die usin' that
To wash Xannies down
I'm the most successful guy to hold a pencil
I've been great for so long
I'm bored of flexin'
I became a machine made of iron, check inside
Peel the skin off and let the metal shine
I've been the greatest for so fuckin' long
It feels normal for me to be special
So much clout
I could buy back the souls of these rappers
That sold 'em for cash to the devil

Why is everybody always
Talkin' shit? Criticizin'
How I'm doin' it my way? If I'm so trash
Why don't y'all release your
Videos on a Friday?
'Cause that's my day, comparing our numbers
You'd cook like some fried eggs
Pussy like wide legs
You only get views if you say my name
Angry I'm famous and not a great rapper
And you been workin' stupid hard
I don't have to rap fast to impress
All my fans, I am a superstar, hahahahaha!

Man, I'm built for this, I'd kill for this
Never get back for the blood
That I spilled for this i'm at the top
It don't even seem high enough
I need a couple more hills
And some stilts for this
Ayy, there ain't nobody around
The top of the mountain, I scream and I shout
Nobody up here but me is allowed
The VIP section is deep in the clouds
Go ahead and call me a clown
'Cause I cannot hear it
Your sky is my ground to look me in the eye
You'd have to reach the summit
I won't see you comin', I don't look down
If I stepped on glass and my feet on fire
My toes turn black and my shoes melt off
And my bones touch ground
I will not look back, I cannot look down
I don't care about how hard it gets
I gotta be the fire in the dark, I guess
I got a beating heart inside an iron chest
If they're sleepin' on me
I ain't tryin' to rest
Hope they die in their sleep while
I climb to the peak
And their eyes never see all
The heights that I reach
I deserve it 'cause I took
The stairs to the moon
I might die from exhaustion
But I like the view
I'm higher than planets, the average person
Would die from the temperature
Bodies are burning
The oxygen needed for life is inadequate
I hold my breath until I'm turning purple
All my life all you did was doubt
And now my success gon' kill you now
Wish I could see and put you in the ground
But as bad as I want to, I'll never look down

Ha ha hahaha
You don't get it still? I am the one
Hahahahaha (Don't look down)
You don't have to admit it to yourself
You don't have to admit it (Don't look down)
You don't have to tell the whole world
That when you look at me
You have to look up to me
And I don't look down (Don't look down)
Everybody, please keep on talking
I am a fucking superstar ha ha hahaha
