Down Bad
Luke Lotus
Living in a cardboard box nothing but a sack of rocks
Pockets empty echo loud scrounging through a faceless crowd
Hustle harder every day wishing I could find my way
Dreams are all I got on hand future slipping like dry sand
Shady deals and late-night runs chasing shadows dodging guns
Sleep on benches count the stars wishing on them from afar
Life’s a hustle play the game feel the fire feel the flame
Hope is fading fast and thin waiting for my luck to spin
Down bad but I keep on goin’
Down bad all my cards showin’
Down bad but I'm never slowin’
Down bad but the fight keeps growin’
Stumble fall but I rise again life’s a dance on shaky legs
Lost the battle not the war find the strength behind locked doors
Bitter days and lonely nights turn the dark into the light
Heartbeat steady with the drum I'm not finished I'm not done
Counting dimes to pass the time climbing rapids mountain climb
Sweat and tears they’re all I know keep on marching with the flow
Borrowed hopes and stolen dreams patch the holes and mend the seams
Daylight breaking through the haze shining on my better days
Down bad but I keep on goin’
Down bad all my cards showin’
Down bad but I'm never slowin’
Down bad but the fight keeps growin’
