Ducks All The Way Down Lyrics

Verse 1
(A constant series of ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-oohs are heard in the background)
A-B C-D
I don't think she wanna see me
2AM, phone beeping. (Beep!)
Good shit, probably sleeping.(Sleep!)
Bad boy in the DMs. (DMs!)
Soft nigga if you see him. (See him!)
I ain't see him in weeks. (Weeks!)
How stressed when he tweets. (Tweets!)
So depressed for the likes
Open up all these mics
Spill my guts in the pot. (Pot!)
Man, I quit smokin' pot. (Pot!)
Life gone up in flames. (Flames!)
Always hot on the beat. (Beat!)
Be yourself over me. (Me!)
Sane, just some fantasy
Fame open up another me. (Oh!)
[?] White coat in front of police. (Oh!)
Please, ghostwriting all my dreams
'Ey, black coffee with some cream
Days, I ain't sleep in some days
I'mma die in a couple years
I'll admit I'm scared
f*ck you, sayin' "No-one's there"

Chorus
If you're talking money, then you should say so
If I'm talking funny, then I should say no
Wrote this in my car and now it's on the radio
Rolling 'round my tongue, rolling down all my windows

If you're talking money, then you should say so
If it's getting sunny, then I should stay go
Wrote this in my car and now it's on the radio
You want another hit, like "1-2-3 go"

Roll up, so sincere
Since you're true, let me dare
I's broke from the jump
Nah, nah, nah Trump
Smoke some wisdom for your ears (Bang!)
Most views, no-one cares. (Bang!)
Best shows and no-one cares. (Bang!)
I guess it's probably not [?]
But he'll fling you in a minute
Radio plays every minute
Have you furious for some dinner
Cash your cheques in the Summer
Buyin' furs in the Winter
Ugly face on TV
I'm a HD sinner
I'm an A1 winner
'Ey [?]
Seven thoughts in the day
Wipe out when it's dark
I'mma watch Bran Stark
Hope my dreams fall apart
Hope my dreams shot too
Had a dream, maybe two
Better yet, it was three
Actually, man, it was four
Now my words start slur
What you mean, I've had enough?
My nigga die way too young
Don't tell me what to do
Couldn't go funeral
Couldn't cry, couldn't show
Don't tell me what to do

Chorus
If you're talking money, then you should say so
If I'm talking funny, then I should say no
Wrote this in my car and now it's on the radio
Rolling 'round my tongue, rolling down all my windows

If you're talking money, then you should say so
If it's getting sunny, then I should stay go
Wrote this in my car and now it's on the radio
You want another hit, like "1-2-3 go"

I said
Started out with nothing, still got some of it left (Left!)
Can you hear me running, 'cuz I'm coming next
I do my 9 to 5, then I play another set
Pushing out a name that these people won't forget
And when we get it goin', it's like "Nah nah nah"
But when we hear it back, it's like "Nah nah nah "
Don't let it get too salty, just like "Nah nah nah"
And then it's all over, like "Nah nah nah"

( All Spoken)
'Fore you, I was kinda a bad person
I wasn't, like, a monster or anything
I was just, y'know, selfish, arrogant, loud
God, I was f*cking loud I didn't really understand people
Like, the ways they felt
Like, if I was being brash, or outspoken
I wouldn't realise I was being real, y'know?
I didn't realise how I affected others
'Til I saw the effect you had on me
So, September
Some of the heat from summer decided to stick around
[Life was giving me two eyes?]
There were a couple of new people in my class
Who hadn't been there the year before
And the serious year above
And, you
I forgot my glasses one day
I can't see for shit
So, I had to sit at the front of the class
And there you were
I guess you were always there, in the background
I just hadn't noticed you
It's funny, you were always too quiet to notice
I was always too loud to miss
At first I thought "Okay, you're hot."
Nothing different from anyone else
But, the more classes we had together
The conversations we had
I started to feel this shift
From we being strangers to "I actually like this person"
'Fore you, I was insecure
I felt like a nuisance to everyone around me
I was a stone cold realist
Not too happy, not too sad
I had adapted to a world of mediocrity
And I was safe
Safe from being something worse than ugly
Something worse than worthless
'Fore you, I had no reason to be scared
These days, I'm always scared
You were the most nourishing thing I had ever experienced
You were honestly the most amazing person I ever met
You were the kind of person who'd have been popular if they choose to
But you didn't
You were shy, closed off, and refused to do small talk
You'd keep to yourself, drinking cans of Monster
Constantly doodling God‐knows‐what
You weren't cool, or even chill
Constantly moaning
"Oh, my tea's not right, oh, I'm too cold"
The world had so much control over you
The good things made you ecstatic
And the bad things made you upset
But you weren't scared, you cherished these moments
You loved being outside, and you loved animals
God, you loved going on walks on the beach like a crazy person
I think you loved me
I hope you did
I think you always knew you were going to kill yourself
Like, somewhere deep down
I think you just knew
I wish you gave me a heads‐up
I don't think I could've saved you
I don't think I could've untied that rope
I just... I just wish I knew
But this isn't about regret
For you, it doesn't matter
I had to learn to live without you
To have a piece of me die and pretend like I'm still living
To find any reason to get up in the morning
Desperately searching for any reason to keep going
You showed me how to see the world for how it is
It's not perfect
You're not perfect
And, yeah, it's safer to feel nothing
But I wanna smile when things are good
I wanna cry when they're bad
I wanna feel things
Meeting you taught me how to love someone
Losing you taught me you can't love everyone
Sometimes, when I close my eyes
I can still see that cute nose
The dyed hair, the short pixie cut
The dark clothes and the even darker eyes
If I close me eyes
I can still see a world before you
