2020 has been a crazy year and has put a lot of things into perspective for me. It felt like every day a protest was going on. For weeks I watched my people demand justice, just for the same incidents to continue happening...again and again. This song was made over a year ago, but as the events of this year unfolded across the world, it didn't feel right putting it out. I needed to figure out a way to help the situation in the most effective way I could. With the release of this song, I’ve decided to partner with the organization ‘Until Freedom’ in their fight against systematic and racial injustice. The net profits earned from this song’s release (purchase, streams, etc) and merchandise will be donated to the Until Freedom cause. I believe change starts with us. We talk about it and share our opinions on social media, but this is a heightened time for action. We’ve got work to do, are you "down"?
Down Lyrics [Chorus: Kavale] I know it's hard don't let them take from us I wonder what they see when they envision us Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us You gotta stay down so you get lifted up You gotta stay down, don't take from us I wonder what they see when they envision us Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us You gotta stay down so you get lifted up You gotta stay down [Verse 1: Kavale] I'm tryna save the world but I need someone to come save me See I made a promise to make it up out it but this what they made me I'm trapped in a system that won't let me live it's driving me crazy In 2020 my people are hanging and Brenda's got babies I've been a victim to all my surroundings Body is lifted but feels like I'm grounded Head above water but feels like I'm drowning Look to the sky my mind's feeling clouded Black in a world where they label me violent A cop kills a nigga then everything's silent (shh, black) We don't wanna talk about it, but we got some bigger problems What happened to him, they shot him 10 o'clock news we're watching And every day we pray, pray, pray, pray Somebody should explain, xplain, xplain, xplain Tell me who the fuck gon' survive in Ameri to the K, K, K, A, wait.. But still we got a dream and it's been a process, man I feel exhausted Want a house on the hill make me a promise Be the voice of the people that feel lost in The land of the free but ain't got options All eyes on me cause they still watching (They still watching, they still watching, they still watching) [Chorus: Kavale] I know it's hard don't let them take from us I wonder what they see when they envision us Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us You gotta stay down so you get lifted up You gotta stay down, don't take from us I wonder what they see when they envision us Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us You gotta stay down so you get lifted up You gotta stay down [Verse 2: WESTSIDE BOOGIE] Let me borrow your view as a favor Cause I look at my city, you know we get faded Cause all of the beauty's been tapered And shit I've been slaving, and tree I've been hanging and ain't see the fruit of my labor Guess I'll get the juice from 'em later And due to the data Nigga I know that my skin has been setting the tone That's why they pull up I pull out my phone I see you're blessed and ain't leave me alone I find a blessing in making it home, that's what I know Blert me just for smoking, if I'm loaded they unload it Drop a pin straight to my celly tell me that they're 'round the corner On a God that I believe in, swear my demons got me tweaking Left my shordie for no reason, still ain't seen her since last weekend Even when you're right or wrong man, love your niggas hug your niggas Fuck this system, you got symptoms Been conditioned (uhh), fix it (woah) [Chorus: Kavale] I know it's hard don't let them take from us I wonder what they see when they envision us Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us You gotta stay down so you get lifted up You gotta stay down, don't take from us I wonder what they see when they envision us Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us You gotta stay down so you get lifted up You gotta stay down [Outro: Kavale] Right now it just kind of feels like we're floating, just tryna keep our heads above water you know? Living in a world where we're painted as criminals, and all sorts of other shit, it's crazy Sometimes you just gotta look at yourself in the mirror and just be like... (You got a decision to make, you got a decision to make) Am I the one that can provoke, some sort of change or some sort of idea, that will spark the change in the world

Down Lyrics
[Chorus: Kavale]
I know it's hard don't let them take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down, don't take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down
[Verse 1: Kavale]
I'm tryna save the world but I need someone to come save me
See I made a promise to make it up out it but this what they made me
I'm trapped in a system that won't let me live it's driving me crazy
In 2020 my people are hanging and Brenda's got babies
I've been a victim to all my surroundings
Body is lifted but feels like I'm grounded
Head above water but feels like I'm drowning
Look to the sky my mind's feeling clouded
Black in a world where they label me violent
A cop kills a nigga then everything's silent (shh, black)
We don't wanna talk about it, but we got some bigger problems
What happened to him, they shot him
10 o'clock news we're watching
And every day we pray, pray, pray, pray
Somebody should explain, xplain, xplain, xplain
Tell me who the fuck gon' survive in Ameri to the K, K, K, A, wait..
But still we got a dream and it's been a process, man I feel exhausted
Want a house on the hill make me a promise
Be the voice of the people that feel lost in
The land of the free but ain't got options
All eyes on me cause they still watching
(They still watching, they still watching, they still watching)
[Chorus: Kavale]
I know it's hard don't let them take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down, don't take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down
[Verse 2: WESTSIDE BOOGIE]
Let me borrow your view as a favor
Cause I look at my city, you know we get faded
Cause all of the beauty's been tapered
And shit I've been slaving, and tree I've been hanging and ain't see the fruit of my labor
Guess I'll get the juice from 'em later
And due to the data
Nigga I know that my skin has been setting the tone
That's why they pull up I pull out my phone
I see you're blessed and ain't leave me alone
I find a blessing in making it home, that's what I know
Blert me just for smoking, if I'm loaded they unload it
Drop a pin straight to my celly tell me that they're 'round the corner
On a God that I believe in, swear my demons got me tweaking
Left my shordie for no reason, still ain't seen her since last weekend
Even when you're right or wrong man, love your niggas hug your niggas
Fuck this system, you got symptoms
Been conditioned (uhh), fix it (woah)
[Chorus: Kavale]
I know it's hard don't let them take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down, don't take from us
I wonder what they see when they envision us
Tell me how we're free if they conditioned us
You gotta stay down so you get lifted up
You gotta stay down
[Outro: Kavale]
Right now it just kind of feels like we're floating, just tryna keep our heads above water you know?
Living in a world where we're painted as criminals, and all sorts of other shit, it's crazy
Sometimes you just gotta look at yourself in the mirror and just be like...
(You got a decision to make, you got a decision to make)
Am I the one that can provoke, some sort of change or some sort of idea, that will spark the change in the world
This should have way more views🤦🏽♂️
Thank you for watching !
