Down in the Pit

Chorus

Up to the clouds then down in the dirt

Hardest lessons coming where it's gonna hurt

Looking in your eyes seeing nothing but the lies

Ready to sleep and never open up my eyes

Up to the ceiling then down in the pit

Realizing half these brothers ain't about shit

I see the lies when I look into your eyes

Shutting them forever beneath these dark skies

Verse 1

Palms itching for the paper

Riding through the valley catching vapor

Stacked a million just to watch it disappear

Nothing quite as loud as what a man would fear

Every bridge I built ended up charred

Checking my reflection and I'm looking scarred

Used to think the love was really solid

Till I saw the greedy reaching for my wallet

Snake in the grass and a fake in the crew

Funny how the money brings out the worst in you

Counting out the losses and the gains

I am trying to forget all the localized pains

Chorus

Up to the clouds then down in the dirt

Hardest lessons coming where it's gonna hurt

Looking in your eyes seeing nothing but the lies

Ready to sleep and never open up my eyes

Up to the ceiling then down in the pit

Realizing half these brothers ain't about shit

I see the lies when I look into your eyes

Shutting them forever beneath these dark skies

Verse 2

Elevator going to the floor

I don't want to see it anymore

I have been high

I have been low

Every single season where I didn't grow

Looking at the world through a dirty glass

Watching all the fake friends start to pass

Keep your circle tight keep your focus

I am just a victim of the hocus pocus

You must crash before you learn to soar

Banging my fist against a locked door

The honesty is rare and the hate is plenty

Checking for a hundred and I'm finding twenty

Chorus

Up to the clouds then down in the dirt

Hardest lessons coming where it's gonna hurt

Looking in your eyes seeing nothing but the lies

Ready to sleep and never open up my eyes

Up to the ceiling then down in the pit

Realizing half these brothers ain't about shit

I see the lies when I look into your eyes

Shutting them forever beneath these dark skies

Chorus

Up to the clouds then down in the dirt

Hardest lessons coming where it's gonna hurt

Looking in your eyes seeing nothing but the lies

Ready to sleep and never open up my eyes

Up to the ceiling then down in the pit

Realizing half these brothers ain't about it

I see the lies when I look into your eyes

Shutting them forever beneath these dark skies
