    The Boston prophet’s first work for Mello Music Group directly addresses the difficulties of keeping your head up amidst duress. You hear and feel the intensity of the fight, the sense of falling into despair, the helplessness of drowning, and the power of being able to save yourself.

    Over a 10-song cycle, Lif delivers poetic testament. These are agnostic sermons written to conceal and nurture him during a bleak period—cathartic confessionals that offered a conduit to bliss. The structure of “Don’t Look Down” mirrors this personal descent and rebirth.

lyrics

Verse One

A rigid mind can hit you like a fist
The goal is moving fluid like a fish
If you can calm your mind
You're no longer blind
Tell me who could lead you wrong with this
I'm rhyming over loops, it's old school
I levitate a style, it's Goku
I fold dimensions
I failed to mention
I came to tap into your soul too
Now tell me what you've buried deep within
Beyond the marrow
well beyond the skin
Is pain lurkin'?
Your brain hurtin'?
I'm sad to see your hopes are getting dim
Now please back away from bright lights
Enjoy the solitude of late nights
Inhale the groove
And make a move
I promise you'll ascend to great heights

Chorus by Selina Carerra

Dim down those lights right now
It's time for us to wind down
Pour me a glass of merlot
Baby, let's just let go
Let's just let go

Verse Two

I've heard that poetry can heal you
To open up your heart, reveal truth
You feeling free?
A deity
Who floats amongst the clouds can feel you
Is this the definition of a blessed
Spirit who was sent to manifest?
With eloquence
For elephants
Who tell the human beings "take a rest"
Now sit down
Get down
Ponder
Spliff now
Drink down
Water
Is this a prison?
The life we're livin'?
Can't disobey the rhythm much longer
Now where you gonna be when panic hits?
Can you grow your food and can you fish?
I sit back
With a jet pack
That I'm wearing just in case the planet splits

Chorus

Dim down those lights right now
It's time for us to wind down
Pour me a glass of merlot
Baby, let's just let go
Let's just let go

Verse Three

The goal is to search deeper
And grow smarter
And think harder
Plus avoidance of the grim reaper
You don't need ta
Be a martyr
I could start ta
Flip another style
Let my spirit out
Like a little child
With a bigger smile
Than you think about
Got it figured out
Look, I'm living now
Not forgetting how I got here through
many details, that I'll spare you
But I faced fear
Hope diminishing
Bills imprisoning
Winter shivering
But envisioning a better me for therapy
Pleasantly, eventually was helping me
Set myself free
Let myself be
Let my light shine
Here's the remedy

Chorus

Dim down those lights right now
It's time for us to wind down
Pour me a glass of merlot
Baby, let's just let go
Let's just let go
