Goin' Down
Bias B Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gimme a second let me catch some feelings
On the paper the ball point run around
its only lyrics I deal in
Bias B doc Felix got the sound you're hearing
Something so appealing
Don't stand around when the partys going down
Throw your hands at the ceiling now
I've got the illness

Needed to shop from doc Felix
You hit the spot feel it
What we've got be the realist on offer
For like a 20 mill topped up
Couldn't shut the shit down here
Even if the cops rocked up with a cease and desist
Its Bias B and d smit

Its going down like smoke when the roach be leavin the lip
Take 2 hits pass man you're kiddin yourself

Overall Meaning

The opening line of "Goin' Down" by Bias B, "Gimme a second let me catch some feelings," sets the stage for the song's introspective tone. The lines that follow highlight Bias B's mastery of the art of lyricism, as he describes the way that the ballpoint pen dances around the paper in rhythmic sync with the beat. He acknowledges that writing lyrics is the only currency he deals in, and that the sound that's coming through the singers is thanks to his own creative partnership with producer Doc Felix. This is what makes the music so appealing to him and his fans.

Next, Bias B implores his listeners not to stand around when the party is going down, and encourages them to throw their hands in the air. He describes the feeling of having an "illness" that can only be treated by Doc Felix's beats, and how they can hit the spot and make you feel alive. The rapper makes it clear that what they're offering is the real deal and that it's worth more than any money can buy.

The final lines of the verse contain a nod to the song's title as Bias B boasts that even if the cops came to shut them down with a cease and desist order, they couldn't stop the music from happening. He reassures his listeners that they are in good hands with himself and fellow rapper D Smit, and that the music is as natural as the smoke that curls from a roach as it's being passed around. The final line is a playful jab at anyone who might be hesitant to try the music, "Take 2 hits pass man you're kiddin yourself."
