Seven years down Two more to go I'll be on my way If I can keep gettin' reprimand Hope there's a better plan When sun finds my face 'Cause I'm already down Yes I'm already down Yes I'm already down To the bottom where I sleep Locked up running cane Raised to be no other way Don't leave me alone Came in an undergrad Leaving with a doctorate Save me from myself 'Cause I'm already down Yes I'm already down Yes I'm already down To the bottom where I sleep Seven days left Two more to go Feel it in my bones Surely there's a better way Cut my hair and change my name Don't take me home I have a feeling the rent is due They know I buried it and won't tell the truth Good Lord, I'm already down To the bottom where I sleep Yes I'm already down Yes I'm already down Yes I'm already down To the bottom where I sleep
