Down 4 So Long (Remix) (feat. Ezra Koenig & Despot)
[Intro] I've been down for so long And I've been keeping it too real So I'ma say what I want And I don't care how you feel No I don't care how you feel
[Pre-Chorus: Makonnen] I lost my friends in '07 Every night I pray to God they made it to heaven Cause I've been going through the worst Having visions that I'm leaving in a hearse, next
[Chorus] But I've been down for so long And I've been keeping it too real Yeah I've been keeping it too real I've been keeping it too real So I'ma say what I want And I don't care how you feel
[Verse 2: Ezra Koenig] I'm leaving New York, I don't wanna pay the tax I move to Monaco but now I can't relax I hate myself I think Americans are whack But other countries leave me feeling weird like afternoon naps Summer twenty-fourteen, shmoney dancing with some goth teens Motherfuckers leaking nudes, why they got to be so rude? I lost my samurai, I feel like a fucking ronin And now my only friends are Despot and Makonnen Gonna spend the Fall buying jackets at the mall Gonna spend the winter fucking frozen in a crystal ball Went to the Hamptons and I thought I was the man 'Til Mary-Kate said my Ray Bans were off-brand I kept my mouth shut and I shook Sarkozy's hand Spit in the ocean, stole a handful of his sand Damn, damn
[Bridge: Despot] I'm 'bout to right these old wrongs But not until I get a few mill' And I been counting so long Them dead presidents are skeletons on new bills
[Verse 3: Despot] Up on the block again but down on my luck If you buying I got whatever I can sell for a buck And I got it for so cheap you'd think it fell off a truck Now them pockets is so deep they try to run 'em and sunk Rocks in socks, I got cold feet but still married the game, I'm stuck So I'm dodging the police, I'm out here running duckin' cuffs I ain't getting any sleep, these motherfuckers keep me up Didn't know what day it was, until the club was going up I ain't slept a wink, my brain's on the blink The fizz in my drink, got a strange tint of pink It's all getting pissed down the drain in the sink It is what it is, but it ain't what you think Put a price tag on your life, going once, going twice Go bust off the culture cyph(er) and blame it on the poltergeist Alibis is golden so I fold 'em like it's poker night Got the whistleblowers tight like I just boned the coaches wife Birds is chirping perfect 'til I shoot 'em out the sky in flight Chop 'em up and serve 'em on your turf You know you heard me right Got a way with words, you lucky you got away with your life Not afraid to burn the bridge, it's shady, I could use the light
[Pre-Chorus: Despot] Now everybody's on one I trying to get 'em on at least two Keep saying it's your last one Nobody's ever gon' believe you
