on the way down - k-rino lyrics

[intro comments]
well, looks like we got another one
they seem to never learn until they crash and burn
lot of these guys sat on the mountaintop
got full of they self then took that long long drop
tell me ‘bout it

[verse 1]
i’m about to give some game up
i saw a lot of folks before they flamed up
then watched them change up after they came up
accumulated fame but see i knew that they had changed
‘cause they head became swolе like they had fluid on they brain
whеn they was hungry, whatever they had would be plenty
h*ll, it used to be a time when you’d be glad to see a twenty
then they gradually ascended to the first one in the line
and the people you used to run with now ain’t worthy of your time
we was loyal through your brokeness and the flaws you used to show us
now you hardly seem to notice those who saw you at your lowest
you got higher status, old school homies you canceled fastest
made some new friends to match with your current financial bracket
so now that you are rubbing elbows with the rich and powerful and turned your back to people who knew you was still proud of you
but guess what? success just tests us
and when you lose everything you was blessed with, that’s when you know you messed up

[chorus]
(on the way down)
you see everybody that you ever clowned as you fall back to the ground, catch ‘em
(on the way down)
n0body that gassing you up is some of the ones you shunned now passing you up, see ‘em
(on the way down)
it’s a long painful drop at the bottom when you once sat at the top, catch ‘em
(on the way down)
that’s the time you gotta pay up and face the ones you stepped on on the way up
[verse 2]
i won’t stop ya
you went from burger king to steak and lobster
but i knew you when you didn’t have a pot to p*ss in
now watch ya dissing ones who gave props to everything you dropped
but now you on top, knocking your own roster
you say you relatable, but that was debatable
the reason why others tolerated you ‘cause you paid ‘em to
you don’t have none of your real patnas from the past wit’cha
all you keep around you now are yes*men and ass*kissers
fools who cater to your craziness like they were waiters
no matter what you say, it gets favored by your enablers
but when the day that you start to fade comes to a head
i hope and pray that you was able to save some of your bread
‘cause the status that you once had is now leaving you fast
it’s only so long you can last when you treat people like trash
the more you try to fake the part, the more you make it harder
went from selling out packed arenas to “can i take your order?”
saw ya

[chorus]
(on the way down)
you see everybody that you ever clowned as you fall back to the ground, catch ‘em
(on the way down)
n0body that gassing you up is some of the ones you shunned now passing you up, see ‘em
(on the way down)
it’s a long painful drop at the bottom when you once sat at the top, catch ‘em
(on the way down)
that’s the time you gotta pay up and face the ones you stepped on on the way up
[verse 3]
on your way down, you saw that friend who believed in your dream
but you never felt like he was good enough to be on your team
your first love who stuck with ya when everybody fled
but you broke up with her soon as you started making some bread
when you didn’t have a car, the homie that came fast, who drove you around town and never asked for any gas
the neighbor that used to feed ya but you betrayed that
and the cat that loaned you that money you never paid back
remember your homeboy who took the rap for your drugs?
and the gs in the hood who protected you from the thugs?
the person who bought you some clothes ‘cause you couldn’t afford ‘em
the fan who wanted an autograph from you but you ignored him
the patna you started with who you been knowing for years
down since day one, but when you left, you stole his ideas
the young up*and*coming fella that met you last summer who wanted to learn from you but you gave him the wrong number saw ya
