Downstairs Lyrics by Prota

A Turtle on a Fencepost

2020

Downstairs

Downstairs that’s where I spend my time thinking about you and me
Love letter shit, end of my day You is who I’m better with
Half wit thug dude with a damn degree, or two
Still amazed how we made three from two

Here, is where I wanna be
Look at you asleep you in heaven
Na matter fact you my heaven on earth
Praying to the lord that I leave here first
Go and see the things that I can’t
Go and be the things that you want
Never let the fear hold you back
Recognize whack is a term that they use
When you got shit they can’t get
When you do shit they can’t do
Just be you, never try to be like me
Shouldn’t see the things that I seen
Shouldn’t feel the lost that I did
I’m a grown man be a kid, shit that I missed
Too late can’t it back
Wouldn’t change nun from my past
Shit led to you
And it led to a kid too
God if nobody else knew, true

Downstairs that’s where I spend my time thinking about you and me
Love letter shit, end of my day You is who I’m better with
Half wit thug dude with a damn degree, or two
Still amazed how we made three from two

Right now this a celebration
Toast to the days that we cried cause we didn’t think we make it
I ain’t even saying that we made it, but every day we gain more patience
That count for some right?
Talk to fast my raps like mumble right?
Mind too jumbled right?
I drink and stumble right?
Hold my heart tight
This feel so right, please don’t let go
I know I’m cut throat, but that’s a fight
Between me, and not you
I’m just connecting the two
I feel connected to you
I disconnect from the hate
Completely unplug from mistakes
But that’s the shit that you do
Feelings that you give me, I try to give em to you
Praying you feel em the same
Praying the feelings the same
Praying I finished this game
Praying no enemies pop up between us and come in between
At this point know I can’t deal
At this point know this shit real
No longer coping with pills
Try to not focus on bills
But still hold out hope for this deal

Downstairs that’s where I spend my time thinking all about my dreams

Love letter shit
Letter to myself this is you don’t forget
Boy you been the truth with this shit Paul pierce with shit years pass and I know you wanna quit
You start to lose trust but that faith is a must confident but you know it’s not enough
And you ain’t got the plug so you feeling outta sort tryna put the city on but the city don’t support
And now you start to question why you holding down the fort
Since 2014 been Lavine in the sport Color Scheme was the start now a nigga wanna scream smoking ports cause I gave my whole heart to this art, Fuck

I gave it all tryna get respect from some niggas that I idolized
But I passed niggas up so I shouldn’t be surprised
And I never kissed ass and I never chose sides
I just did what I had to to try to stay alive every choice that I make calculated so I rised
And niggas ain’t like that
But it led to a life niggas dream bout at night yeah
Living west smoking top flight
Having talks bout the wealth I can build if we downsize
Looking up at the skyline with the down eyes in an AMG thinking how time flies
And I still ain’t made it yet
And I’m still the same nigga can’t settle till my life sheds
Still the nice nigga with the same red rag
Still Reggie
