[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause I’m already down
Yes I'm already down
Yes I'm already down
To the bottom where I sleep

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm already down
Yes I'm already down
Yes I'm already down
To the bottom where I sleep

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Yes I'm already down
Yes I'm already down
Yes I'm already down
To the bottom where I sleep
