Earthgang Top Down
EarthGang has already solidified themselves as one of the game’s more creatively daring duos, a position that their Dreamville debut Mirrorland played a pivotal role in establishing. And though the album came out last September, the pair have continued to keep it in the spotlight, steadily expanding on their growing video collection with another new one. This time, the song in question is “Top Down,” the album’s spirited third track. Given how infectious the chorus is, it’s no surprise to see this one get the visual treatment.
As for the clip itself, EarthGang take a break from taking the animated route and instead blow the dust off the puppet case. What follows is a typically surreal bout of puppetry that would have made Jim Henson beam — and perhaps blush once the puppet strippers begin to gyrate.

[Intro: Johnny Venus]
Doctor told me I should rest
But I ain’t gon’ never ever quit
I like girls with pretty feet, yeah
And jeans that’ll never ever fit, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Top down (Yeah)
And I’m floatin’ through the city, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Watch out (On the run)
Deputy out to get me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Top down (Top down)
And I’m floatin’ through the city, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Watch out (On the run)
Deputy out to get me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Johnny Venus]
Most that shit y’all talkin’ bout
Ain’t really talkin’ ’bout nothin’ (No)
Say you 25 when you really 32
Baby goin’ in, go and stop frontin’ (Woah)
Bottle in the club cost a stack
You ain’t even got nine hundred (Oh)
Ben-10 with the bustdown
Different ring got my whole damn leg
Got my whole damn leg
I dare you, put it together
On that white just like Othello
I don’t check emails, better be textin’
CC me if you’re talking reckless
Pinky toe yellow, foot on the pedal
My bitch a speed devil
That’s vroom, vroom, vroom, skrrt
They won’t catch us never
Beyoncé, my halo
My angel, my devil
My shooters come through with the doot, doot, doot, doot
Man, I’m tellin’ you
I got the heart of a dragon
I’m livin’ like I imagined
World is mine, no askin’
The world is mine, I’m stabbin’, stabbin’ now
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Top down (Yeah)
And I’m floatin’ through the city, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Watch out (On the run)
Deputy out to get me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Top down (Top down)
And I’m floatin’ through the city, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Watch out (On the run)
Deputy out to get me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Doctur Dot]
I don’t waste time on the phone like that
And I stay leavin’ texts on read
I had, the minute I’m home, I ran into a fling
But I can’t really call her my ex
She said, “I see you, I know you been workin’, lil’ daddy
You look like you gettin’ to the check
I know you focused on work
But I can’t help but notice you can’t talk about nothin’ else
What about you?
How’s your mental? How do you cope with what you been through?
How’s your tempo?
Who in your life are you really close to?”
I was like, “Damn,” space left blank
Plenty of fish in the sea, but nobody fuck with a shark in the tank
Peddle my mind later, washin’ the whip
See my reflection, it’s all in the paint
Laid back top, bumping that Frank Ocean, “Crack Rock”
When I pull up, ridin’ with a pack rat, don’t get caught
Been through it all, I’m no stranger to loss
R.I.P. Richard, Olivia, Charles
If nothin’ else, I’ma do it for y’all
I don’t rap, I just say what’s on my heart
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Top down (Yeah)
And I’m floatin’ through the city, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Watch out (On the run)
Deputy out to get me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Top down (Top down)
And I’m floatin’ through the city, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Watch out (On the run)
Deputy out to get me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro: Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot]
Said I’ve been drinkin’
And I’ve been smokin’
And shawty, I’m flying’ down 285, but I’m so focused
Said I’ve been drinkin’
And I’ve been smokin’
And baby, I’m flying’ down 285, but I’m so focused
