McKay, Nellie - The Down Low Lyrics






I don't see nothing,
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing

It isn't bad to know your limitations
That we know can come to good
But if you had to know your situation
I see no reason you should
You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear
It's on the down low
Don't you find it
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
Don't you mind it
Hold your head up high
That will see you through
Dry your little eyes
Don't mess up your life by seeking truth

It isn't hard to get an education
Know you want to come to good
But, you can hardly bet on imitation
I see no reason you should
You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear
It's on the down low
You won't find that
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
Don't you mind it
Walk right down the stairs
That will see you through
(Drive with full affair?)
Don't mess up your life by seeking the truth

You, you should lay the flowers where the sun does shine
Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga
Chinga Chinga Chinga Chinga
Hojole (Hijole?)

I spend all my idle hours biding time
I know it ends some day

It isn't bad to diss your situation
That we know can come to good
But you'd be mad to miss your coronation
And I see no reason you should
You don't have to know, and say

If you're in the clear
Its on the down low
Don't you find it
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
Don't you mind it
Hold your head up high
That will see you through
Dry your little eyes
Don't mess up your life you're over reaching
Trying to find to seek the truth...

I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing
I don't see nothing...

    Buying time how does one do that?
    You are holding your head up high. All the while you go, and go and touch, go and touch the earth.

    She fucking blows my mind.
    Amazing.

    :) I love that line :)

  5. A.... H....

    Agreed!

    I'm so happy to have found this great artist here, on your channel. :)

    It doesn't matter if the masses are missing out. Nellie is way too hip for the room. I'm kind of selfish and like to have Nellie "to myself" in a way, as long as she stays commercially viable enough to keep making music. It will be interesting to see how successful her Doris Day tribute album is and if Verve will allow her to maintain her creative originality going forward.

    I find that quite a few songs on PLH would work well playing over beginning or end credits of movies, and this one would work well over end credits. "Swept Away" would be a great TV theme. And Nellie would be a billionaire if she chose to be a jingle writer.
