Down
Yelawolf Lyrics

Pick up, pick up, daddy's in the pickup
Daddy is driving in his pickup truck and someone is repeatedly trying to call him.

Got so much bounce the kick drum give me the hiccups
The beat is so strong that it's making him hiccough.

You don't want it with me, sucker, just look up
Don't mess with him, he's ready for anything.

Beer flyin' in this mothafucka like bird shit
People are drinking and partying so much that beer is flying around like bird poop.

Ran these Mickey Thompsons up on the curb, bitch
He was driving recklessly and hit the curb.

Crook as a picture on Sunday
He's very mischievous, like a picture that's hanging crookedly on a wall.

My maniac Slumerican squad mount up around your Hyundai
His crazy and wild group of friends are surrounding a Hyundai car.

Chevy's up, we got low lives and bow ties
They're driving a Chevy and wearing bow ties, but they are not high-class people.

Up shit's creek, I'll take you for a boat ride
If you find yourself in a bad situation, he will make it even worse for you.

Stick his head in the water, now let him flap his lips
He put someone's head underwater and is taunting them as they try to talk.

Motormouth, make a wave, yeah, Roll Tide
Someone who talks a lot is making waves (figuratively) and he's cheering them on like fans of the Roll Tide college football team.

You're playin' golf in lightning? So am I
He's taking the same risks as someone who's playing golf in a thunderstorm.

Dressed in a tin man suit
He's wearing a suit that makes him look like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz.

Drinkin' a tin can too, that is 110 proof
He's drinking alcohol from a tin can that's very strong.

Man if I only had a heart for you bitches
He doesn't have any compassion for the women he's dealing with.

I'd get down on my knees and help you dig them ditches
He's not willing to help them in any way.

But mama only raised Hell
His mother was a bad influence on him.

So when you're done diggin' that ditch, bitch, bury yourself
If they're going to dig themselves into a hole, they might as well stay there.

Pass me that Colt 45
He wants someone to give him a Colt 45 beer.

I'm partyin' 'til my fuckin' throat sore and dry
He's partying hard and drinking until his throat hurts.

You drivin' drunk, better lift your seat up
If you're driving drunk, you better sit up straight and be careful.

'Cause cops pull us over just to fuckin' meet us
The police are always stopping them just to see what they're up to.

'Cause Marshall's a Rap God, damn right
Eminem is a well-respected rapper.

Well, then I guess that makes me Jesus
If Eminem is a Rap God and he's above him, then he must be Jesus.

So turn this water to whiskey
He wants to turn something ordinary into something stronger, like whiskey.

Watch the dirty south go from dirty to filthy
The South is already dirty and now it's getting even worse.

High class only means stoned in school
Being high-class just means you were stoned in school.

Joints rolled up bigger than pony stool
The joints he's smoking are very large.

Smoke, stains on the roof of the old Regal's brown
The smoke from their drugs left stains on the roof of a brown Buick Regal.

So what I got spokes on this bitch, and?
He doesn't care what people think of his car's wheels.

The lift kicks like climbin' into a spaceship
Getting into his lifted truck is like getting into a spaceship.

UFO's, unidentified flyin' Oldsmobiles
They see cars that they can't identify, like UFOs.

And mobile homes, amen
They see mobile homes as well. Maybe praying in agreement that they're all similar?

I can still smell the kerosene leakin'
He can still smell the kerosene that was leaking from a car.

I should've seen the signs, I was blowin' up
He should have seen that he was becoming famous.

Either in a trailer home or a pickup
He's still the same person whether he's living in a trailer home or driving a pickup truck.

Hey, Bubba, your baby boy is in big trouble
He's in trouble and someone is telling his father about it.

I fuckin' ran through a briar patch and got cut up
He ran through a prickly thorn bush and got hurt.

Now I'm wide open in front of the whole town
Everyone knows about his problems now.

I bled for the game, I guess it's obvious now
He's sacrificed a lot for his music career.

I'm goin' down now, he told me wear it with pride
He's accepting that he's going down and trying to do it with pride.

You wanna take the hard road you gotta cherish the ride
If you're going to take the difficult path, you should enjoy the journey.

Most mothafuckers won't jump to embarrass the fly
Most people won't take the risk to embarrass someone who is vulnerable.

Can't build a legacy up, then let it perish and die
If you have built up a legacy, don't let it go to waste and die out.

I'm goin' down, Aww man you gotta love it
He's accepting that he's failing and accepting it with humour.

I'm on my way
He's still moving forward despite his setbacks.

Hey mama, all around the town they're sayin', "He's goin' down, Lord have mercy"
People are talking about his problems and asking for mercy on his behalf.

I'm country rich, no budget
He may not have a lot of money, but he's rich in his own way.

Got to get paid
He still needs to make money to pay his bills.

Hey daddy, all around the town they're sayin', "He's goin' down, Lord have mercy"
People are talking to his dad about his problems and asking for mercy on his behalf.
