Downsize. Lyrics by Oblé Reed

OB2*

2023

[Verse 1]
Uh, I lost a couple of homies to wind, them boys was gone with the breeze
One turned his focus to his girl, and started to tumble with weed
It's only spiraling and falling by the end of my verses
I got my wings, he got his clipped, I had to flip him the birdies
Uh, another got self consumed, or maybe it's self confused
He was overzealous, tried to sell his dope and smoke it too
When I finally found his blue before I found out he was blue
It was too late for us, it's too late to fuss
And I ain't even got the world, so how I'm supposed to give it to?
Said, "Split all the bread" I always do
Said "Check on your friends", I always do
I treat my circle, final supper, even Judas got some food
And I can't even trust a soul, cause even Judas kissed 'em too, ah

[Pre-Chorus]
Weekdays, turn to weekends, and the week ends with us up in the air
I'm thinking, we could pretend, that we just fine
We got time

[Chorus]
But then we gotta downsize
Yeah, cause we was outside, hopin' we could all slide, but we had to downsize (We had to downsize)
We got too much of us, there's too much, I just, we gotta downsize
Uh, there's mini me, and many you, it's miniscule to see it through, we gotta downsize
I guess we gotta downsize

[Verse 2]
Uh, I broke my neck for homies who didn't deserve it
I made the lane they swerved in
They prolly crash on purpose
They prolly ain't insured it
You look surprised by all your peers and wonder why they earned it
They fell in love with workin', you fell in love with earnest
You hand em' out, I'm on my pity-pity pinch and what I've been, outta pocket
You could barely pay attention, I got labels on the line and you put labels on our friendship
It was Judas at the table, I can tell by his intentions
The shrink ray equipped, get hit, that mean dip out
Full speed, the whip, it fit, about, get out
You talk too much, your tongue done done its dance, and we got gold medal medallions, we don't give out second chances on my–
Weekdays, I let my mental slip a bit, my big bone no slipper this, but I ain't never need a splinter
We could sprint a hundred me, a hundred yous, or make a dent
Said you been there from the jump, but that ain't really what you meant, 'cause

[Bridge]
You know we can't take everybody so far
You know we can't carry everybody so long
You know we can't take everybody, can't carry everybody, can't save everybody no more
No more, no more

[Chorus]
Cause we gon' have to downsize
Cause it was outside, hopin' we could all slide, but we had to downsize (We had to downsize)
We got too much of us, there's too much, I just, we gotta downsize
Uh, there's mini me, and many you, it's miniscule to see it through, we gotta downsize
I guess we gotta downsize
