It also touches upon themes of trust issues, hedonism, and materialism. Furthermore, the song explores the darker side of fame including substance abuse as a coping mechanism. Overall, it offers a raw and honest portrayal of the complexities associated with achieving one's dreams.
Way Down
Lyrics
Everybody know my face
Everybody know my name now
Had to keep my head up straight, no more dead weight
Wore a cape on my way down
Everybody know my face
Everybody know name now
Had to keep my head up straight, no more dead weight
Wore cape on my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I be on my way down
If you're looking for me hit me on my PayPal
Same kid, same shit from the same town
Cock back pull the trigger, click bang, pow
Lately I just feel like I'm the greatest
Feel like I just won hundred grand out in Vegas
Made a big name now that big name's nameless
I carried all the weight to see how far that I could take it
Anxious I can feel it in my blood
All 'em late nights with that liquor in my cup
Two bottles down and I still don't get a buzz
All these chains on me got 'em thinking I'm the plug
Okay, okay if you say so
Getting pounds, getting euros, getting pesos
And we did it by ourselves with no major
And then we put our own people on the pay roll
They hear us tracking they mistaking it for arrogance
I'm about to rent a hundred rooms at the Sheraton
I heard these other rappers in my city, no comparison
I brought a hundred goons, they assumed we some terrorists
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
Yeah, I been on my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
Yeah, I been on my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I been on my way down
If you're looking for me hit me on my PayPal
Same kid, same shit from the same town
Cock back pull the trigger, click bang, pow
And you ain't fucking with me when I work hard
Young fat boy counting money with my shirt off
I don't sweat it I'ma keep on ducking curve-balls
Everybody wanna turn up 'til they get turned off
I'm looking for a brand new high
But first I gotta find myself
I fount out that all it takes is time
So I did it all by myself
I'm staring at the bottom of that bottle I been drinking since spring
Through winter, into autumn
Alcoholic getting started through the poems that I jotted
Throwing dollars, celebrating, the fact that now I got 'em
Who would have known turned a dream into reality
And now my shit's flames like the team out in Calgary
My money is right but my choice is wrong
I get on stage and I rage until my voice is gone, yeah
Everybody know my face, everybody know my name now
Had to keep my head up straight no more dead weight
Wore a cape on my way down
Everybody know my face, everybody my know name now
Had to keep my head up straight no more dead weight
Wore a cape on my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
I don't really trust these dudes
And I won't ever trust these hoes
I already payed my dues
So I'ma get these bucks and go
I don't really trust these dudes
And I won't ever trust these hoes
I already payed my dues
So I'ma get these bucks and go
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
Yeah, I been on my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
Yeah, I been on my way down
On my way down
On my way down
On my way down
