[Verse 1: Ekoh]

(Check), these demons, I let 'em in

Feelin' 'em gone in the head again

Look in the eyes, and you can devise

I'm off of the medicine

They've been tryna stop me

"Jeff, you need to keep it down"

Like, y'all muhfuckers just don't know the things I start to think about

Highly impressionable and I'm often misled

I'm going Red Queen again, off with their heads!

And I'm just lookin' at the world through a different lens

Yeah, your homies think you're dope, but you should find some better friends

Smashin' this I'm only on my first Aladdin wish

Ran out of quips and went and copped a new expansion kit

I swear to god, y'all really think you know what savage is

This ain't a hero's journey, it's the origin of Anakin

Takin' a beat when I get it and breakin' it down on a chemical level

I'm movin' around every molecule makin' a different element

Then I'll be sellin' it

Keep it developin' knowin' through everything

We got the people develop dependency

Doin' it all and they fuck with us heavily

This isn’t rap it’s some verbal amphetamines

Why they lettin' me keep this up?

I should be gone, just lock me up

And hide me in the studio before I hurt someone I love

Been off the drugs and said I'd never touch the pills again

But I still move enough dope shit to kill a million men

Yeah, it's Judgement Day when I fire off

A T-1000 prototype that got the wires crossed

I'm biting off with more than I can chew but I still love it

No matter what I do, they still think I'm a motherfuckin'


[Chorus: Ekoh]

Let-down

Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out

And you're gonna give in to them

'Cause you're a let-down

Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out

And you're gonna give in to them

'Cause you're a let-down


[Verse 2: Futuristic]

They've been watchin' me, executed this properly

I cop some properties, I keep flippin' dough like Monopoly

Stepped in the boxing ring with my fears

And they left a knot on me

Responsibly attack the features, they know I don't jot for free

Mama's shopping spree, I remodeled the kitchen, obviously

Laid the fake grass in the yard a spot so the dog can pee

But views is slowin' down, and the shows ain't as packed

'Cause I switched up all my raps, I used to be a hot commodity, but

They don't be seeing the meaning they want me to spit and repeat it

Do it again and again, if I switch, they delete it

My progress is often impeded

A vision, I seen it, I stepped on the scene with the meanest, I mean it

Then I started eatin'

Grew and I changed

My life ain't the same as the day when you first heard me come through the speakers

They mind is the weakest, inspired since I was a fetus

Most fiending so give me a deal, then I got a mil', then I got another

But sometimes I wanna just dip off and chill

They want the old me, they don't know me, it's hard to keep 'em all still

They don't let up and I won't eat it

Even if they think that I will, 'cause


[Bridge: Futuristic]

I be on my drive, I been goin' hard

Don't even know what the boy be on

You can say your piece, but I'm sayin' "Peace"

Something that I'll never be, is a


[Chorus: Ekoh]

Let-down

Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out

And you're gonna give in to them

'Cause you're a let-down

Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out

And you're gonna give in to them

'Cause you're a let-down


[Bridge: Ekoh]

And they said, "This a lonely road"

But with the voices in my head, I know I'm not alone

I felt the pressure to settin' too many goals

Well, I guess that every rainbow doesn't end in a pot of gold

Yeah, I know there ain't a lot of people like me

Writing out these pressures in my head

I spent my whole life fighting

With all of these critics just saying that I should settle down

Ekoh and Futuristic, bitch, now tell me who's the


[Chorus: Ekoh]

Let-down

Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out

And you're gonna give in to them

'Cause you're a let-down

Lost in your head again, they said you'll never get out

And you're gonna give in to them

'Cause you're a let-down
