Ellis Prescott, Ysic - Way Down Lyrics

I done been down on my luck before
I done been way down
And couldn't afford to take another L
I was starting to breakdown
Fighting trying to get it off of the scale
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Tell my fam I got em cant afford to fail
I got a story to tell

I done been down on my luck before
I done been way down
And couldn't afford to take another L
I was starting to breakdown
Fighting trying to get it off of the scale
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Tell my fam I got em cant afford to fail
I got a story to tell

Grandma say that she been praying for me that I stay safe and outta jail
I tell her I will but I cant guarantee it cause life make it hard to tell
Never know when its our time to go I'm just tryna remain in control
They say that the money on the way now
Its hard to believe when you already heard it before
Hard to stay out the streets
When thats where the money at
Everyday a nigga die young
Ooh just tryna get to a bag
He was good nigga in the streets and it still did him bad
Seen him one day and lost him in the next he ain't never coming back
Suppose to be riding in limousines rocking designer wit all of the tags
Not riding in a hearse toe tagged last ride in the back
I know that life come at a cost I been tryna find the best way for me to bargain
Ain't gone feel like i made it till I know that I know that my family ain't starving

When I don't gotta think twice bout a price
Then maybe ill feel like I'm living right
Just trying to think right is a fight
Only got one life
Sometimes when u get a chance u only get the chance at it one time
Hope I get closer to the bag when I hop off of the next flight

I done been down on my luck before
I done been way down
And couldn't afford to take another L
I was starting to breakdown
Fighting trying to get it off of the scale
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Tell my fam I got em cant afford to fail
I got a story to tell

I done been down on my luck before
I done been way down
And couldn't afford to take another L
I was starting to breakdown
Fighting trying to get it off of the scale
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Tell my fam I got em cant afford to fail
I got a story to tell

Making its taken awhile
I can't get a break and it's breaking me down
When it get real aint no faking allowed
Life is a fight I can't throw in the towel
Wrongs feel right long as you smile
If they're 100 gotta keep em round
The biggest hearts get the lease amount
Another loss but who keeping count
Making my mom and my people proud
Man I wish John could see me now
Hellah doubts no easy routes
Couch to couch I just leased a house
Traded my lust for trust
Me and my family was stuck
I'm tryna lead em out
Ain't no given up
I know that them roads was ruff
But they can't beat me down
Section eighth pushing weight tryna catch a plate
It's a move I won't hesitate
Family need I cant make em wait
Pull the play just pray we straight
Time is money I was hella late
Didn't graduate but got on my drake
Tape for tape till we elevate

I done been down on my luck before
I done been way down
And couldn't afford to take another L
I was starting to breakdown
Fighting trying to get it off of the scale
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Tell my fam I got em cant afford to fail
I got a story to tell

I done been down on my luck before
I done been way down
And couldn't afford to take another L
I was starting to breakdown
Fighting trying to get it off of the scale
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Tell my fam I got em cant afford to fail
I got a story to tell
