Don't Look Down

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 can't hide my frown, my smile is hiding from my mouth

I can't lie, my mind keeps finding time to fight myself

I dive so deep inside, feel like I died and I'm in hell

Or I'm so high, my eyes can't see the ground beneath the clouds

Don't look down (don't look down, don't look down, don't look down)

Don't look down (don't look down, don't look down, don't look down)

I tried to keep it quiet, silence all my cries for help

As long as I am rising, till I'm upside down, I won't look down

This a meteoric rise

Keep ignoring all the horror stories like

So-and-so got way too famous

And ended up killing himself with some pills and a knife, ay

I am not the one who's gonna self-destruct

Got it out the mud

I came way too far to fail or screw it up

I ain't dropping balls, I just blew 'em up, ay

I will never let my mental illness be the cause of my downfall

I will never lie to none of my fans, if I did, it would sound wrong

I will never try convincing you dummies, this isn't a town hall

Never look down, never look down, just look around, y'all, ay

All of my demons are here

All I can feel is fear

All I can do is keep being myself

And that's what I been doing for thirty-two years

All of my haters came out, chasing my name for some clout

What are they angry about?

They're climbing as high as their ladders can take 'em

And screaming my name

But I don't look down

Hi guys, remember me? I'm the white guy

Everybody wanted to cancel, nice try

Too sick, I might die right

Two fists full of middle fingers, I got no time for high fives

Too rich for a drive-by

Pay the pilot on my private jet to keep it low and do a fly-by

Take nine knives on a bike ride, why nine?

'Cause I heard that a pussy has nine lives

I'm the one that y'all hated

I'm the one who won the game, got paid and famous

I'm the one who laughed in all they faces

And became the greatest since old Slim Shady

I'm the one who don't care, I'm the one who goes where

No one goes 'cause they're scared

I'm the one who don't choke when the boat don't float

My throat gets no air

I can barely breathe all the air I need

Oxygen is very thin at the top

I can rarely sleep, stars I'm underneath

Shining too bright and I can't turn 'em off

I'm high as the birds now

Flying too close to the Sun, got a burn, wow

I been turning up and I ain't turning down

Maybe I should chill but I ain't learning how, ay

I'm not afraid of success

I'm afraid of what happens if I take a rest

I'm afraid that I'll end up where I was before

In the hood with no money or food for the rent

I'm scared if I look at the water, I'll drown

So I look at the sky and deny there's a ground

I'm not scared of the altitude up in the clouds

I'm scared of the fall, so I don't look down

Fuck you

Every single motherfucking one of you

I can't even see you, because I don't look down

(Don't look down

Don't look down)

(Don't look down

Don't look down)

I can't hide my tears, I dry my eyes and more come out

I can't lie, my fear is suicide, not bank accounts

Keep my chin up but my head weighs like a million pounds

Feels like my neck might break, I hear it crack, ignore the sound

Don't look down (don't look down, don't look down, don't look down)

Don't look down (don't look down, don't look down, don't look down)

I tried to keep it quiet, silence all my cries for help

As long as I am rising till I'm upside down, I won't look down

This a legendary climb

Stand on the edge of the ledge and it's very high

Think of the men who are dead

'Cause it got to their head at a cemetery time

I ain't the one who gon' throw it away

'Cause I'm feeling too lonely up here

I ain't the guy who gon' break from the pressure

It's snowy, my pipes are not frozen up here

I don't wanna hear about these YouTube rappers

I am not in that bracket, punk

Billboard plaques all stacked in my mansion

A million cash for my taxes, punk

Call me trash while I produce anthems

Y'all attacking with plastic guns

I'm the biggest independent rapper in the fucking world

You just live on my planet, punk

Got a acid tongue and massive lungs

Every single track I've done has packed a punch

Used to be an addict, yup, I crashed a truck in Canada

Going too fast, black-out drunk

I was nice at the start but the mood all changed

The reactors who trashed me for views are lame

Don't ask me to help you remove no claims

If I see you punks, you gon' lose your chains

I am the one who they all called a liar

When I told them that I'd help my mom retire

They thought that I'd buy a new crib and a chain

And a ring and a whip and some rims for the tires

Guess what? Mom don't work

Sent a hundred grand in a LV purse

Made a album with Nova and Brandon

They own half the masters, I told them the fam comes first

Still got the pills that the doctor gave me

To combat the depression and the panic attacks

I'm the type of person who won't even take a Tylenol

Even when I got a dozen knives in my back

They're calling me wack but I don't react

I don't have time to write raps replying to trash

I'll meet a whole team, yeah they trying to cap

I'm concrete but my demons hide in the cracks

I'm the one

I ain't buy liquor for months

And you're lucky I'm sober, I'm nuts when I'm drunk

Mix the whiskey with soda, the man I'd become

Would invite you all over, put drugs in your punch

When you pass out I'll wrap you in plastic

And hit you with hammers and flatten your skull till it's crushed

I don't name names, I don't play games

I just aim, spray, and throw out the gun

The rappers who hate act like family now

They tryna Jack my style like some hand-me-downs

They want a million views, I want a Grammy now

And the closest they'll come is they Grammy's house

I don't even drink but I'm planning how

I can make a brewery in a massive house

To give free booze out to these rapping clowns

And they can die using that to wash Xannys down

I'm the most successful guy to hold a pencil

I've been great for so long, I'm bored of flexing

I became the machine made of iron, check inside

Peel the skin off and let the metal shine

I've been the greatest for so fucking long

It feels normal for me to be special

So much clout, I could buy back the souls of these rappers

That sold them for cash to the devil

Why is everybody always talking shit?

Criticizing how I'm doing it my way

If I'm so trash, why don't y'all release your videos on a Friday?

'Cause that's my day

Comparing our numbers you'd cook like some fried eggs

Pussy like wide legs, you only get views if you say my name

Angry I'm famous and not a great rapper

And you been working stupid hard

I don't have to rap fast to impress all my fans, I am a superstar

Man, I'm built for this, I'd kill for this

Never get back for the blood that I spilled for this

I'm at the top, it don't even seem high enough

I need a couple more hills and some stilts for this, ay

There ain't nobody around

The top of the mountain, I scream, and I shout

Nobody up here but me is allowed

The VIP section is deep in the clouds

Go ahead and call me a clown

'Cause I cannot hear it, your sky is my ground

To look me in the eye, you'd have to reach the summit

I won't see you coming, I don't look down

If I stepped on glass and my feet on fire

And my toes turn black and my shoes melt off

If my bones touch ground

I will not look back, I cannot look down

I don't care about how hard it gets

I gotta be the fire in the dark, I guess

I got a beating heart inside an iron chest

If they're sleeping on me, I ain't tryna rest

Hope they die in their sleep while I climb to the peak

And their eyes never see all the heights that I reach

I deserve it 'cause I took the stairs to the Moon

I might die from exhaustion but I like the view

I'm higher than planets, the average person

Would die from the temperature, bodies are burning

The oxygen needed for life is inadequate

I hold my breath until I'm turning purple

All my life all you did was doubt

And now my success gon' kill you now

Wish I could see and put you in the ground

But as bad as I want to, I'll never look down

You don't get it still

I am the one

(Don't look down)

You don't have to admit it to yourself, you don't have to admit

(Don't look down)

You don't have to tell the whole world that when you look at me

You have to look up to me

And I don't look down

(Don't look down)

Everybody, please keep on talking

I am a fucking superstar
