[Intro] I be Down bad Yeah (Yeah, yeah) [Chorus] Down bad by myself, they don’t get that Smile to my face, but they step back Text on my phone, I don’t text back Nobody understands where my head at Down bad by myself, can’t explain it Prayers on the dash, tryna aim it Laugh when I’m up, when I crash, they vanish Nobody understands how this pain hit [Verse 1] Scroll through the names, I can’t call one Heart feel heavy as a loaded gun Mama say, “boy, you should talk to someone” Tell her that I tried, they just say “stay strong” That ain’t help when the rent due, lights off Staring at the ceiling till the night gone Tears in my throat, but I bite down Southern in my soul, but I might drown Hood full of “you good?” then they move quick Say they really care, but it’s lip switch Same old script, I done seen that They love the highlight, not the relapse [Chorus] Down bad by myself, they don’t get that Smile to my face, but they step back Text on my phone, I don’t text back Nobody understands where my head at Down bad by myself, can’t explain it Prayers on the dash, tryna aim it Laugh when I’m up, when I crash, they vanish Nobody understands how this pain hit [Verse 2] I been riding on E, tank long gone Voices in my head say, “you dead wrong” Bottle on the floor with the cap off Bible by the bed that I passed on Who gon’ hear me when I ain’t loud? When I ain’t stuntin’ for the fake crowd? Half-raspy from the late-night cries Throat still burning but I still say “fine” Cousin hit my line, need a quick loan He don’t even ask if my mind blown Say he love me, but he love what I bring When I got nothin’, he don’t let it ring (nah) I been tryna talk, but the words stuck They just say “man up,” I say, “good luck” If you wore my hurt for a few days You would fold quick, you would lose faith [Chorus] Down bad by myself, they don’t get that Smile to my face, but they step back Text on my phone, I don’t text back Nobody understands where my head at Down bad by myself, can’t explain it Prayers on the dash, tryna aim it Laugh when I’m up, when I crash, they vanish Nobody understands how this pain hit [Bridge] Who gon’ ride when the tank on red? (who?) Who gon’ stay when the tears get shed? (stay) Who gon’ hear what I don’t wanna say? Who gon’ listen when I push ’em away? (yeah) [Chorus] Down bad by myself, they don’t get that Smile to my face, but they step back Text on my phone, I don’t text back Nobody understands where my head at Down bad by myself, can’t explain it Prayers on the dash, tryna aim it Laugh when I’m up, when I crash, they vanish Nobody understands how this pain hit

Choruses open up with stacked harmonies, filtered ad-libs panned wide, and a subtle church-organ pad swelling under the hook for emotional weight., hip hop
