[Verse 1]
I could be a rich man
Living on the West coast
But that ain't me
Seventeen to twenty-three
I was stealing everything
Taking anything I need
And then, the truth, it brings me

[Chorus]
Down
Down on my knees
I'm begging you, please
This life ain't for me
In time, the truth, it brings me down
It brings me down

[Verse 2]
Living on the East coast
Fighting for my fill of the stars
Not forgetting who I was
This is why I hate this
Dumber than I thought I was
Time keep bringing me down
Wishing I could turn it around
And then, the truth, it brings me
[Chorus]
Down
Down on my knees
I'm begging you, please
This life ain't for me
In time, the truth, it brings me down
It brings me down
I'll tell you I never thought I could be a goddamn thing
But now I feel so real

[Bridge]
Down
Down on my knees
I'm begging you, begging, I'm begging, please
This life ain't for me
And it brings me down
'Cause I learned to steal
When you learned to breathe
'Cause, life, it ain't free
And it brings me down

Down
The future is real
So choose who to be
'Cause, life, it ain't free
In time, the truth will bring you down
Down on your knees
You're begging them, please
This life ain't for me
In time, the truth, it brings you down
It brings you down
Oh, it can try
I'll tell you:
You never knew you could be everything
So, now, please feel more real
