I Ain't Coming Down

[12 seconds instrumental]

[chorus: singing]

I'm floatin' away without leavin' the groouund, groouund; (ground!)

They askin' me (me!) - "what's it like up theeeere? " (theeeere!)

I tell 'em: "iiii ain't coming doowwn! " (doowwn!)

I'm tryna stay up and i don't wanna touch doowwn, doowwn! (doowwn!)

They askin' me (me!) - "what's it like up theeeere? " (theeeere!)

I tell 'em: "iiii ain't coming doowwn! " (doowwn!)

[bridge:]

Nope! - no-nooo, i ain't coming doowwn! (doowwn!)

No-nooo, i ain't coming doowwn! (doowwn!)

No-nooo, i ain't coming doowwn! (doowwn!)

Iiii ain't comiing doooowwwwn!

[verse 1:]

Uhh! - now that my vision's more clearer;

This is for the hate on royce in detroit era.

I know y'all had a good time, but that was y'all time, but that was y'all error!

Now look at you and look at meeee; compare us! (compare us!)

You can do it easily

This ain't when royce was lookin' stupid on that "beef" dvd,

Uh-uh! - shout-out my niggaz d-twizzy! i'll admit when i was wrong,

I remember thinkin' i should probably hit my nigga von.

You talkin' shit about

Me at your barbershop you obviously politickin' wrong.

Niggaz need to stop pms'in!

I hope y'all barbers give y'all ass the same hairline as me and dmx's; (dmx's!)

Haha! - i went from wishin' trick-trick was gone,

From pickin' which bitch to wishin' i could twitpic my home! (home!)

And as far as my nigga, trick - before we was brothers

I think we really just needed to get to know each other. - i'm up!

[verse 2:]

Uhh! - i gotta say this shit one time. (one time!)

When have you ever known me to get in the way of one's grind? (one's grind!)

Cause even when that dark cloud hovered above me i went from signed to unsigned

Then i found my own sunshine! (sunshine!)

Uhh! - now let me say this shit one mo' time!

When have you ever known me to get in the way of yo' grind? (yo' grind!)

Can you find one hip-hop listener around the globe

Who don't know that nickel nine is from motown? (motown!)

These cats say: "he's wack! "

"he ain't even from the d, so why he got that d tat? "

Then they friends run to me like my friends saw you cypherin' on bet

But he ain't like it cause you ain't have on no d hat. (d hat!)

Make up your mind, you whinin' niggaz!

Ryan done been at schools to talk. - bought shoes for shorties.

Bought coats for the kids, while you niggaz choose to floss

And y'all wanna nail who to the cross? - y'all niggaz soft! - i'm up!
