Danny Brown - Downward Spiral Lyrics






I'm sweating like I’m in a rave
Been in this room for 3 days
Think I’m hearing voices
Paranoid and think I’m seeing ghost-es, oh shit
Phone keep ringing but I cut that shit off
Only time I use it when I tell the dealer drop it off
Had a threesome last night, ain’t matter what it cost
Couldn’t it get hard, tried to stuff it in soft
Had to fuck em both raw, keep my fingers crossed
Been grinding on my teeth so long it's swelling up my jaw
Nothing on but my bathrobe and pinky ring
Your worst nightmare for me is a normal dream
And if I learned anything
Is don’t nod off with ya motherfucking cigarette burning
Knocking on my door but I won’t answer
Residue on mirrors, Jojo dancer

And it's a downward spiral
Gotta figure it out (out)
I gotta figure it out (out)
I gotta figure it out
Cause it's the downward spiral
I gotta figure it out (out)
Gotta figure it out (out)
I gotta figure it out

Everybody say, you got a lot to be proud of
Been high this whole time, don’t realize what I done
Cause when I’m all alone, feel like no one care
Isolate myself and don’t go nowhere
Smoking blunt after blunt, 'til my eyes start burning
Hennessy straight got my chest like a furnace
Drowning frustrations in a ocean of sin
Thinking irrational, I have no emotions
Cold cold world, some might say
Freezing on the snow, brain feel a bit frostbit
Nauseous, don’t know the last time I ate
But I eat these fucking rappers like fucking last steak
On death row, feel like I am
You never know, one day you're here, the next you're gone
So I put it all up in these songs...

And it's a downward spiral
Gotta figure it out (out)
I gotta figure it out (out)
I gotta figure it out
Cause it's the downward spiral
I gotta figure it out (out)
Gotta figure it out (out)
I gotta figure it out

Danny Brown Downward Spiral Comments
  1. S.... T....

    If you're listening to this album for the first time...


    Welcome to the E X H I B I T I O N.


    Enjoy your Stay.

  2. B.... ....

    I find this track weirdly relaxing

  3. B.... F....

    This album is a masterpiece

    B.... F....

    without question, honestly the 4th best album of the decade.

  4. R.... H....

    Danny Brown is like the Primus of Hip-Hop

  5. V.... G....

    Uau!!! Danny loves Bacon and J.G. Ballard?

  6. V.... ....

    Such a great album opener

  7. s.... S....

    First time listening to Danny Brown…so uh...is his delivery like this on every track?

    s.... S....

    @sorrowful Satchel this is his most risky and best album to date, its also the least accessible Album

    s.... S....

    JR 07 ok, but the only reason I don’t like this is because of his cartoony vocal delivery. If it was different, I would probably like it more.

    s.... S....

    @sorrowful Satchel start with xxx...this album is very experimental

    s.... S....

    He s not always like this but most of the time he is it either grows on you or if doesnt

  8. k.... ....

    [Verse 1]
    I'm sweating like I’m in a rave
    Been in this room for 3 days
    Think I’m hearing voices
    Paranoid and think I’m seeing ghost-es, oh shit
    Phone keep ringing but I cut that shit off
    Only time I use it when I tell the dealer drop it off
    Had a threesome last night, ain’t matter what it cost
    Couldn’t it get hard, tried to stuff it in soft
    Had to fuck em both raw, keep my fingers crossed
    Been grinding on my teeth so long it's swelling up my jaw
    Nothing on but my bathrobe and pinky ring
    Your worst nightmare for me is a normal dream
    And if I learned anything
    Is don’t nod off with ya motherfucking cigarette burning
    Knocking on my door but I won’t answer
    Residue on mirrors, Jojo dancer

    [Hook]
    And it's a downward spiral
    Gotta figure it out (out)
    I gotta figure it out (out)
    I gotta figure it out
    Cause it's the downward spiral
    I gotta figure it out (out)
    Gotta figure it out (out)
    I gotta figure it out

    [Verse 2]
    Everybody say, you got a lot to be proud of
    Been high this whole time, don’t realize what I done
    Cause when I’m all alone, feel like no one care
    Isolate myself and don’t go nowhere
    Smoking blunt after blunt, 'til my eyes start burning
    Hennessy straight got my chest like a furnace
    Drowning frustrations in a ocean of sin
    Thinking irrational, I have no emotions
    Cold cold world, some might say

    But I eat these fucking rappers like fucking last steak
    On death row, feel like I am
    You never know, one day you're here, the next you're gone
    So I put it all up in these songs...

    [Hook]
    And it's a downward spiral
    Gotta figure it out (out)
    I gotta figure it out (out)
    I gotta figure it out
    Cause it's the downward spiral
    I gotta figure it out (out)
    Gotta figure it out (out)
    I gotta figure it out

  9. J.... C....

    I feel like this song represents everything that Cole failed to do with KOD

    J.... C....

    @Ronnie Epting one provides perspective in a unique way, the other is pointing out the obvious.

    J.... C....

    @Just Call Me Brad if you need a rap song to convince you not to do hard drugs theres no hope for you bro

    J.... C....

    @who is like God? some people are too stupid to listen to rules like when someone says not to do something it makes you want to do it more. What Danny is doing is he's telling me it's cool to do drugs of your ready to handle extreme paranoia, insomnia, erectile dysfunction, what he's doing is he's not telling you not to do drugs he's telling you what it's like afterwards sure it's fun in the moment but it really fucks people up afterwards

    J.... C....

    skapity bap exactly, while there’s people like nba young boy glorifying it and acting as it’s a cool thing to do when it’s not.

    J.... C....

    @finesserphd indeed, it'd be like comparing a soft rapper to a hardcore one considering how superior danny brown is to j cole. i like cole but he's never been great other than 2 mixtapes. danny on the otherhand is one of the top 5 best in the game right now straight beast.

  10. T.... M....

    This whole album is Fear and Loathing put into music...... AE is fucking genius.

  11. E.... S....

    Jimi wouldve loved him

    E.... S....

    On this track, yes

    E.... S....

    Jimi digging cats

  12. �.... ....

    Gotta love that slapping German krautrock sample! (Oxymoron - Guru Guru)

    �.... ....

    Thank you for this! Ive been addicted to this beat since 2016

  13. n.... c....

    This is great but I can understand how can someone might hate it. It's not for everyone!

  14. D.... ....

    This shit is trash

  15. [.... M....

    Sound like the hip hop version of captain beefheart

  16. c.... c....

    NINE INCH NAILS

  17. D.... ....

    *ITS NEVER OGRE*

  18. S.... ....

    THIS IS FIRE

  19. V.... m....

    This song tells a story of my life

  20. K.... K....

    Idk people hate this type of music and say Danny Brown is too weird for hip hip to handle, I love experimental hip hop and I love Danny Brown and I feel like I'm part of the family ✊

    K.... K....

    Some experimental hip hop is genuinely really difficult to enjoy even after hearing it loads but danny brown has a more catchy delivery and the beats are kind of more coherent so yea they may as well give him a second try

    K.... K....

    You just answered your own question.

    K.... K....

    When you've listened to Trout Mask Replica, nothing sounds weird anymore lol.

  21. A.... ....

    Leave it to Sir Danny Brown to summarize my entire adult life in under 3 minutes.

    A.... ....

    Legit just my paranoia not even high just paranoid well i am sometimes by my dad as he smokes but then im just chill usually im up alot looking around like a schizophrenic(Which i might be)

  22. R.... &....

    Hit us up for remixes

  23. M.... ....

    Wtf did my brain just try to process?

    M.... ....

    Maze great music

    M.... ....

    A song you dont relate to

  24. L.... S....

    Dont nod off with yo mothafuckin cigarette burnin.

  25. M.... M....

    Everybody said, you got alot to be proud of, been high this whole time don't realize what I've done

  26. T.... ....

    shame this doesnt have more views. where the danny fans at?!?

  27. L.... M....

    Jesus he really paints a perfect picture of a paranoid tweaker just bugging out in his hotel with those lyrics

    L.... M....

    im sitting in a hotel room being a paranoid tweaker...wow u hit home

    L.... M....

    Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas: The Album

    L.... M....

    @Sponge Anus Haha didnt think of it like that, nice !

    L.... M....

    Logan Moore I was heavy into drugs when this album dropped ( been clean since Feb 2017), and your comment is very accurate 👍🏻

  28. M.... 1....

    Ok shaggy you can take off your mask kiss kiss

  29. N.... B....

    This song reminds me of day six no sleep complete serotonin depletion total regret no emotion. Shit’s a BITCH!

  41. S.... H....

    This song grew on me like xxx at first I hated but now it's a favorite.thats what made me fall in love with Daniel he's just so Danny lol

    S.... H....

    Oh uncle danny

  42. N.... S....

    How in the blue fuck did he rap on this beat? Jesus, what a madman.

  43. C.... J....

    Intresting that the name of his album is the same for the first song of joy division's last album.

    Maybe a nod?

    C.... J....

    He also has a lyrical reference to Joy Division in one of the songs on this album

    C.... J....

    Definitely a nod. Although it's a novel by J G Ballard.

    C.... J....

    Danny Brown's Atrocity Exhibition has a song called Downward Spiral
    Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral has a song called Closer
    Joy Division's Closer has a song called Atrocity Exhibition

    C.... J....

    Danny told that he listened fuck ton of joy division while making this album and that it was also inspiration to this album

    C.... J....

    @doublerre This kind of musical attribution which creates a cycle is straight up brilliant. Good catch

  44. J.... ....

    EmpLemon sent me

    J.... ....

    JYAG It’s never ogre.

    J.... ....

  47. S.... x....

    Why wasn't this nominated for a Grammy

    S.... x....

    Bc the Grammy's are a fucking bad sad joke just like the Academy Awards.

    S.... x....

    Easy. It's not pop enough for a Grammy!

    S.... x....

    @AMG Agreed there's numerous times where the grammy's were a complete fucking joke like in 2012 when macklemore won over Kendrick

    S.... x....

    ShaHenAhGoat xTDE Dreamer cuz it’s too weird for the normies

    S.... x....

    Cuz Grammy's are only for bitches

  48. G.... I....

    I still have to recover from the first time I heard this song.
