Why He Be Looking Down Lyrics

(why he be looking down?)
(why he be looking down?)

The only way you're gonna have friends is if you be one
So I analyze, roll a spliff and I put my feet up
I've learned that if you stand up, then you've got to speak up
And if you want to judge me by my cover, better read up

But you can't even open me, this is what my soul believes
I'm chose to be, but they can't get a grip and get a hold of me
So listen up, and tell me if you're similar
And if you've seen your close friends burn like they were rizzla

Turned and now they've changed, but your verdict hasn't changed
No ones perfect in the game, but you worship how you play
But you're turning like a page, and its hurting me to say
Cos' I'm concerned for my mate, cos' worse, we can't relate

Cos' I ain't doing what your doing, you ain't doing what I'm doing
I pretend to hide the fact, but the worse thing was I knew it
But I didn't chew it, I tried to help you through it
Your to talented to do that so I'm hoping you ain't blew it

(hook)
That's the reason why I write this song
Cos' there's a thin line between the rights and wrongs
And the things that I don't know I ask why to god
(why he be looking down?)
And that's the reason why I push and strive a lot
Cos I don't even know where my life belongs
So I'm asking to please show theses signs I want
(why he be looking down, down, down..)

Would D be disappointed? now I think its bleeding pointless
Please avoid it, dream rejoice, and we can be a team united
I'm biting, cos' I'm writing my life, trying to fly high
But rhyming it tight, my eyes are blind by the lights

Now I'm trying to survive, cos your closest peeps can turn on you
Who hold heat that will burn on you, but blow cheese that will murder you
And peeps heard of you and jealous, they'll turn like they're propellers
So that something comes off, like birds that loose their feathers

Deaths the truest lesson, to the people who pass
And have no evil in heart, and now you be with the stars
Look down on your closest ones, life's a bitch, I know the cunt
We're broken up mix henny with some coconut and toast the cup

To people loved yeah we're fallen were sure loved and important
And show love without fortunes, that's why its unfortunate
But soon we're gonna join like co-ordinates
Hear me how I talk to them..

(hook)
They save best till last, to impress with bars
Why they press the charge? to arrest my darg?
Now I'm vexed and scarred, now my head and hearts
Teared apart, wheres the parts to repair the past?

This life is a jigsaw, you ride in the pit stop
Not moving, the times I was pissed off, was losing
But why am I getting down for? I'm a fucking outlaw
Uncle said "you've got the brains why do you need an ounce for?"

Its words from the wise, so observe what I write..
And don't think I'm a nerd cos I'm white..
If you didn't know me and you heard my verse on the mic
You would say I'm blessed, like a church I'm alright, whats you verdict of life?

And tell me like you ain't a fucking stranger
I don't think I'm too good for no one cuz I know my nature
I told a hater listen and learn, I owe a favor
Its in my blood to show the nation

(hook)

Why he be looking down, down, down...?
