let you down - dead men lyrics

[intro]

[verse 1]
you have to do, what i ask of you
and there’s a task i have for you
tackle a track with a rap and attack
with your natural knack and your apt-tude
you do that, i ain’t mad at you
i’ll pat your back and say, “that’ll do”
then just sit back and then when you think back
you’ll be happy you did what you had to do
‘cause you are gifted
can’t bus tables, too artistic
it’s too s-d-stic, to ever think that
you could ever become another statistic
this is kismet, you gotta foster
all the sh-t that, you got to offer
you got a lot to, so you oughtta
remember what you got before you forgot to
but you wanna be forgotten
and don’t wanna be reminded
and don’t wanna put the time in
when a rhyme needs redefining
fine then, but i’m trying
to figure out why you’re not trying
try to speak to you, ‘bout unspeakable
things, but you keep trying to hide them
when you gotta let go, tell me
what in the f-ck you’re upset for?
when you’ve been given any and every
amenity from the get go
what in the h-ll ever made you
anything other than grateful
or made you behave in a way that was
anything other than utterly thankful, huh?

[chorus 1]
running… along
going… alone
i won’t let you down (2x)

[verse 2]
people are strange and i’m becoming a stranger
so i’m running away, ‘cause i got nothing to stay for
all i want is a change, ‘cause i don’t think i can take more
need i really have to explain more?… ok we’re
all on our own, getting farther from home
and embarking on different chapters, and there’s
factors that dictate whether we move
forwards or go backwards, that ain’t
under our jurisdiction, what a wonderful we live in
where we wish for an existence other than the one we’re given
given all the sh-t we been in
we should be living with no regrets
but i’ve seen more, than i can ignore
so i can forgive but i won’t forget
i’m the best at holding grudges, i won’t let you go unpunished
‘cause you lied when you professed and attested to no injustice
you gotta fight for the lost lives
that got lost and discarded and tossed into boxes of archives
left there to rot, forever forgotten
just ‘cause they’d fallen on hard times
so if you’re sinking i won’t ever let you drown
‘cause g-d may let you die, but i will never let you down, no

[chorus 2]
running… along/
going… alone
i won’t let you down (2x)
