Down By The River Lyrics by Vanilla Taurus

Straight Outta The Milky Way

2018

[Verse 1]

Down by the river
But I never fucking pray
Never been a fiber
Cause these games I don't play
Now a 13 spitter
No quitting
Feel as though I haven't been fitting
Into the society that I've been conforming to be
But fuck that
We eat skittles
Get played like a fiddle
Always solve riddles
Cause if you got a problem
Go ahead and solve it
No worries
Just flurries
Standing tall
Stephen curry
No golden state
Everything is great
So to that I say
Live your life how you won't
Cause I don't really give a fuck
I know I spout off about some
Anti religious shit
But if you believe in it
Than go for it
Cause that's your life to live
I just hope that you live it
Cause what's the point of your heart pounding
If you aren't living

[Chorus] Sampled

[Verse 2]

Swimming through the river
Like my name was fucking Applegate
Never been a winner
But atleast I'm not acting fake
Cause I'm doing this
Cause this shit is fucking bliss
And I can't deny
I love it
And I don't know why
This world has become a tragedgy
Well actually
We're at a point
Where we can call a fucking happening
That's why we fighting other worldingly demons
Something better is what I'm needing

Feeding my soul to devil
Striking up deals all night
Till we came to a conclusion
Left most in confusion
It seemed useless
I'll admit it and confess
He said to me
Hand over your sold
And I'll hand over the gold
Not even out of fear or nothing
I was like
Hell naw
I wanna get to top by using my skills
Show people that it's okay to be real
That you don't have to pretend to be something
That you don't want to be
He was like
Really?
Sounds fucking hard bro
I know
But fuckit
Couldn't sleep at night if I cheated
Why you think I sleep with 1 eye open
Bones'll get old with no yoga
Bones get old no matter what though
So let's just chill by the river
Hope to god I get bigger, quicker

[Verse 3]

Lost everything to the river
And that shit made me bitter
But I go on
Keep the flow strong
Throughtout the whole song
Then Move on
Can't deny
When I drop my motherfucking bombs
But fuck, didn't wanna break noone
But still lead her on
Now she's motherfucking gone
Got nothing but the river and the mic
Skip ahead a few nights
Got nothing left but the music
