The Down Low

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't see nothing,

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing

It isn't bad to know your limitations

That we know can come to good

But if you had to know your situation

I see no reason you should

You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear

It's on the down low

Don't you find it

Anything you hear

It's on the down low

Don't you mind it

Hold your head up high

That will see you through

Dry your little eyes

Don't mess up your life by seeking truth

It isn't hard to get an education

Know you want to come to good

But, you can hardly bet on imitation

I see no reason you should

You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear

It's on the down low

You won't find that

Anything you hear

It's on the down low

Don't you mind it

Walk right down the stairs

That will see you through

(Drive with full affair?)

Don't mess up your life by seeking the truth

You, you should lay the flowers where the sun does shine

Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga

Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga

Hojole (Hijole?)

I spend all my idle hours biding time

I know it ends some day

It isn't bad to diss your situation

That we know can come to good

But you'd be mad to miss your coronation

And I see no reason you should

You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear

Its on the down low

Don't you find it

Anything you hear

It's on the down low

Don't you mind it

Hold your head up high

That will see you through

Dry your little eyes

Don't mess up your life you're over reaching

Trying to find to seek the truth...

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing

I don't see nothing...
