The Dead Men - Let You Down lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:

You have to do, what I ask of you/

And there’s a task I have for you

Tackle a track with a rap and attack/

With your natural knack and your aptitude

You do that, I ain’t mad at you/

I’ll pat your back and say, “That’ll do”

Then just sit back and then when you think back/

You’ll be happy you did what you had to do

‘Cause you are gifted/

Can’t bus tables, too artistic

It’s too sadistic, to ever think that/

You could ever become another statistic

This is kismet, you gotta foster/

All the shit that, you got to offer

You got a lot to, so you oughtta/

Remember what you got before you forgot to

But you wanna be forgotten/

And don’t wanna be reminded

And don’t wanna put the time in/

When a rhyme needs redefining

Fine then, but I’m trying/

To figure out why you’re not trying

Try to speak to you, ‘bout unspeakable/

Things, but you keep trying to hide them

When you gotta let go, tell me/

What in the fuck you’re upset for?

When you’ve been given any and every/

Amenity from the get go

What in the hell ever made you/

Anything other than grateful

Or made you behave in a way that was/

Anything other than utterly thankful, huh?

Chorus 1:

Running... Along/

Going... Alone

I won’t let you down (2X)

Verse 2:

People are strange and I’m becoming a stranger/

So I’m running away, ‘cause I got nothing to stay for

All I want is a change, ‘cause I don’t think I can take more/

Need I really have to explain more?... OK we’re

All on our own, getting farther from home/

And embarking on different chapters, and there’s

Factors that dictate whether we move/

Forwards or go backwards, that ain’t

Under our jurisdiction, what a wonderful we live in/

Where we wish for an existence other than the one we’re given

Given all the shit we been in/

We should be living with no regrets

But I’ve seen more, than I can ignore/

So I can forgive but I won’t forget

I’m the best at holding grudges, I won’t let you go unpunished/

‘Cause you lied when you professed and attested to no injustice

You gotta fight for the lost lives/

That got lost and discarded and tossed into boxes of archives

Left there to rot, forever forgotten/

Just ‘cause they’d fallen on hard times

So if you’re sinking I won’t ever let you drown/

‘Cause G-d may let you die, but I will never let you down, no

Chorus 2:

Running... Along/

Going... Alone

I won’t let you down (2X)
