I can't hide my frown, my smile is hiding from my mouth
I can't lie, my mind keeps finding time to fight myself
I dive so deep inside, feel like I died and I'm in hell
Or I'm so high, my eyes can't see the ground beneath the clouds
Don't look down (Don't look down, don't look down)
Don't look down (Don't look down, don't look down)
I tried to keep it quiet, silence all my cries for help
As long as I am rising till I'm upside down, I won't look down
This a meteoric rise
Keep ignoring all the horror stories like
So-and-so, got way too famous
And ended up killing himself with some pills and a knife, ayy
I am not the one who's gonna self-destruct
Got it out the mud
I can wait too far to fail and screw it up
I ain't droppin' balls, I just blew 'em up, ayy
I will never let my mental illness be the cause of my downfall
I will never lie to none of my fans, if I did, it would sound wrong
I will never try convincin' you dummies, this isn't a town hall
Never look down, never look down, just look around, y'all
Ayy, all of my demons are here
All I can feel is fear
All I can do is keep beating myself
And that's what I been doing for 32 years
All of my haters came out, chasing my name for some clout
What are they angry about?
They're climbing as high as their ladders can take 'em
And screaming my name, but I don't look down
Hi, guys, remember me? I'm a white guy
Everybody wanted to cancel, nice try
Too sick, I might die right
Two fists full of middle fingers, I got no time for high fives
Too rich for a drive-by
Pay the pilot on my private jet to keep it low and do a fly-by
Take nine knives on a bike ride
Why nine? 'Cause I heard that a pussy has nine lives
I'm the one that y'all hated
I'm the one who won the game, got paid and famous
I'm the one who laughed in all they faces
And became the greatest since old Slim Shady
I'm the one who don't care
I'm the one who goes where no one goes 'cause they're scared
I'm the one who don't choke
When the boat don't float, my throat gets no air
I can barely breathe all the air I need
Oxygen is very thin at the top
I can rarely sleep, stars I'm underneath
Shining too bright, and I can't turn 'em off
I'm high as the birds now
Flying too close to the sun, got a burn, wow
I been turnin' up, and I ain't turnin' down
Maybe I should chill, but I ain't learnin' how
Ayy, I'm not afraid of success
I'm afraid of what happens if I take a rest
I'm afraid that I'll end up where I was before
In the hood, with no money or food for the rent
I'm scared if I look at the water, I'll drown
So I look at the sky and deny there's a ground
I'm not scared of the altitude up in the clouds
I'm scared of the fall, so I don't look down
[Bridge]
Fuck you, every single motherfuckin' one of you
I can't even see you because I don't look down (Don't look down)
Hahahaha (Don't look down, don't look down)
Yeah (Don't look down)
I can't hide my tears, I dry my eyes and more come out
I can't lie, my fear is suicide, not bank accounts
Keep my chin up, but my head weighs, like, a million pounds
Feels like my neck might break, I hear it crack, ignore the sound
Don't look down (Don't look down, don't look down)
Don't look down (Don't look down, don't look down)
I tried to keep it quiet, silence all my cries for help
As long as I am rising till I'm upside down, I won't look down
This a legendary climb
Stand on the edge of the ledge and it's very high
Think of the men who are dead
'Cause it got to their head at a cemetery time
I ain't the one who gon' throw it away
'Cause I'm feeling too lonely up here
I ain't the guy who gon' break from the pressure
It's snowy, my pipes are not frozen up here
I don't wanna hear about these YouTube rappers
I am not in that bracket, punk
Billboard plaques all stacked in my mansion
A million cash for my taxes, punk
Call me trash while I produce anthems
Y'all attackin' with plastic guns
I'm the biggest independent rapper in the fuckin' world
You just live on my planet, punk
Got an acid tongue and massive lungs
Every single track I've done has packed a punch
Used to be an addict, yup, I crashed a truck in Canada
Goin' too fast, blackout, drunk
I was nice at the start, but the mood all changed
The reactors who trash me for views are lame
Don't ask me to help you remove no claims
If I see you punks, you gon' lose your chains
I am the one who they all called a liar
When I told 'em that I'd help my mom retire
They thought that I'd buy a new crib and a chain
And a ring, and a whip, and some rims for the tires
Guess what? Mom don't work
Sent a 100 grand in an LV purse
Made the album with Nova and Brandon
They own half the masters, I told 'em the fam comes first
Still got the pills that the doctor gave me
To combat the depression and the panic attacks
I'm the type of person who won't even take a Tylenol
Even when I got a dozen knives in my back
They're callin' me wack, but I don't react
I don't have time to write raps, replyin' to trash
I'll meet a whole team, yeah, they're tryin' to cap
I'm concrete, but my demons hide in the cracks
I'm the one, I ain't buy liquor for months
And you're lucky I'm sober, I'm nuts when I'm drunk
Mix the whiskey with soda, the man I'd become
Would invite you all over, put drugs in your punch
When you pass out, I'll wrap you in plastic
And hit you with hammers and flatten your skull 'til it's crushed
I don't name names, I don't play games
I just aim, spray and throw out the gun
The rappers who hate act like family now
They're tryna jack my stile like some hand-me-downs
They want a million views, I want a Grammy now
And the closest they'll come is they grammy's house
I don't even drink, but I'm plannin' how
I can make a brewery in a massive house
To give free booze out to these rappin' clowns
And they can die usin' that to wash Xannies down
I'm the most successful guy to hold a pencil
I've been great for so long, I'm bored of flexin'
I became a machine made of iron, check inside
Peel the skin off and let the metal shine
I've been the greatest for so fuckin' long
It feels normal for me to be special
So much clout, I could buy back the souls of these rappers
That sold 'em for cash to the devil
Why is everybody always talkin' shit? Criticizin' how I'm doing it my way?
If I'm so trash, why don't y'all release your videos on a Friday?
'Cause that's my day, comparing our numbers, you'd cook like some fried eggs
Pussy like wide legs, you only get views if you say my name
Angry I'm famous and not a great rapper, and you been workin' stupid hard
I don't have to rap fast to impress all my fans, I am a superstar, hahaha!
Man, I'm built for this, I'd kill for this
Never get back for the blood that I spilled for this
I'm at the top, it don't even seem high enough
I need a couple more hills and some stilts for this
Ayy, there ain't nobody around
The top of the mountain, I scream and I shout
Nobody up here but me is allowed
The VIP section is deep in the clouds
Go ahead and call me a clown
'Cause I cannot hear it, your sky is my ground
To look me in the eye, you'd have to reach the summit
I won't see you comin', I don't look down
If I stepped on glass and my feet on fire
My toes turn black and my shoes melt off
And my bones touch ground, I will not look back, I cannot look down
I don't care about how hard it gets
I gotta be the fire in the dark, I guess
I got a beating heart inside an iron chest
If they're sleepin' on me, I ain't tryna rest
Hope they die in their sleep while I climb to the peak
And their eyes never see all the heights that I reach
I deserve it 'cause I took the stairs to the moon
I might die from exhaustion, but I like the view
I'm higher than planets, the average person
Would die from the temperature, bodies are burning
The oxygen needed for life is inadequate
I hold my breath until I'm turning purple
All my life all you did was doubt
And now my success gon' kill you now
Wish I could see and put you in the ground
But as bad as I want to, I'll never look down
Hahahahaha
You don't get it still? I am the one, hahahaha (Don't look down)
You don't have to admit it to yourself, you don't have to admit it (Don't look down)
You don't have to tell the whole world that when you look at me
You have to look up to me, and I don't look down (Don't look down)
Everybody, please keep on talking
I am a fucking superstar
Hahaha
