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

Chorus by Taylormade

Everyday we pray
We pray to save our soul
(x2)

Verse One (Mr. Lif)

Well I'm sitting at my table now
hands crossed
blast off
Thinking about some opportunities that I had passed on

Hindsight is 20/20
Thinking isn't helping any
Drinking will just serve to end me
Progress am I making any?

I'm not sure
cause my mind got blurred
by the things I chose to focus on and what I've observed
Patterns of my own demise that I in that in my life
I'm at the center of my own storm when things go wrong

Nowadays I pray for discipline
Strength to be honest
Hope to never break a promise while enshrouded in my calmness

Hoping to accomplish all this
requires skill, will, energy, determination
Plus some time for meditation

I try approaching life with ease
My steez is to appreciate the wind
the sunlight
and the leaves

But for now I can't breathe
Could you help me out please?
See me looking to the sky
while I'm down on my knees

Chorus

Everyday we pray
We pray to save our soul
(x2)

Verse Two (Mr. Lif)

It's been a bad day
Got me feeling shook and I'm looking for
my emotions to stop the plots of this crooked war

Furthermore depression nipping at my heels and I can feel
the sentiments that I conceal
I'm wondering if I can deal

My appeal to a higher power was delayed an hour
Rallied up and took a shower
Plus I'm hoping not to cower

Ever been so hungry that your eyes feel slumped in?
Fridge full of food but your soul craving something
much more touch more thoughts through delirium
Strive to rise above the negative vibes and bury em
I can see the sun again
Clouds start to dissipate
My spirits elevate
Here I go
I anticipate

Clarity
Epiphanies
Motivation gripping me
A day of infamy
for this one man symphony
Plucking at my heart strings
This could be starting
a spiritual departing
The visions of a scarred king

Chorus

Everyday we pray
We pray to save our soul
(x2)

Well, L'Orange is only another good producer on the Mello Music Group roster because he really performed on this project and Mr. Lif came through with some verses that are a step above what he did on his solo project that he dropped in 2016 months before this. 3.5/5 An Active Muzik Listener
