Going Down
Skrew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tongue on the ground
It's a world of shit
Bought by the pound
Paid for in full
Do you hear the sound
Give it a pull
Hey what's that ya found
Painted face wrapped in plastic
What's the price
Is it enough sucksess
And or suck dick
Going down
Parading ass around
Secret lies taste just like success
???
Going down
Take a deep breath is that what you said
???
What's behind the door
Every whore wants the ultimate
What's behind the door
Every whore wants the ultimate
What's behind the door
Every whore wants the ultimate
Evolution revolution
It's all the same
Words in a book or from a talking head
Bent over
It's the price for fame
Take a deep breath is that what you said
Broken rules are a part of the game
Kiss the rich and f**k the dead
Black truth out of the mouth of babes
Taste just like success
Taste just like success
Taste just like success
Taste just like success
Going down
Tongue on the ground
It's a world of shit
Bought by the pound
Going down down down
Painted face wrapped in plastic
What's the price
Is it enough sucksess
And or suck dick
What's behind the door
Every whore wants the ultimate
What's behind the door
Every whore wants the ultimate
What's behind the door
Every whore wants the ultimate
What's behind the door
Every whore wants the ultimate
Taste just like success
Taste just like success
Taste just like success
Taste just like success
Taste just like success
