Falling Down

Rain, Fall, Down
The clouds are moving in again
I hear the sound of that distant wind
It grows loud while I'm listening
Wonder how long it's been, I missed my friend
Cuz sunshine never really spoke to me
I smile jokingly like this how I'm supposed to be?
But those close to me surely know me better
I'm more minor chords and stormy weather
Sometimes I like to revel in my anguish
Fuck what's in my closet man the devil's in my basement
And you should see him dance he's nice with that shit
I guess I'm more like my father than I'd like to admit
Just let it fall
Rain, Fall, Down
Cuz sometimes the pain's all you got left
To fill the gaping hole in your chest
And sometimes...
I swear I'll never learn my lessons
I focus on my failures and I downplay my successes
If you ask I'll probably tell you it's humility
But maybe it's a creeping self-doubt that's instilled in me
Maybe if I pop a couple pills in me
I can derail this train of thought my brain's killing me
I hear the raindrops falling outside my window
And I swear I hear them calling is it just pretend though
So let the rain fall down
Til it consumes me, it's running through me
Until my days run out
I just want to hold on to something real
Rain, Fall, Down

Why don't you kick it for a minute?
I'm tryin to get it while I'm livin, I'm on a mission
And I'm down if you down
So why you playin around come get found I know X 2
Vision hazed out, I'm seein overcast
Rainin on my misses, like an hourglass
Baby time's movin come here and slow it down
I see you through my glass, that pinot suits you well
Girl me no kiss and tell I can see it in your eyes
I'll drink that whole bottle so I can see you anytime
Anytime come around I promise I'm gon lay it down
Then the swisher's blown, I got that rocket baby
Let me hit that ozone, and then I gotta move
Promise I'll come back to you but don't tell no one what we do
Layin in my bed you know I made you smile
You know what it is girl, got you to stay a while
Why don't you kick it for a minute?
I'm tryin to get it while I'm livin, I'm on a mission
And I'm down if you down
So why you playin around come get found I know X 2
I never claimed to be perfect, I'm still strivin
But them roadblocks aint workin I'm still drivin
Down that road on my own its the only way I know
Never fold so you know my hand is filled with diamonds
And I aint talkin bout stones on my digits man
I'll eat my dinner keep that glitter, I'm a simple man
But my mind be doin laps like a swimmer man
stumbling through the dark looking for something to get a tan
Ugh you seem so unattainable
And all these dreams are interchangeable
Locked doors and hallways with no end
I catch glimpses of you but you're always so dim
The drugs and liquor help you come quicker
But then you go just as fast like hoes with the ass
You're like Vick mixed with Cunningham
The harder I pursue the faster you get to running, damn
Why don't you kick it for a minute?
I'm tryin to get it while I'm livin, I'm on a mission
And I'm down if you down
So why you playin around come get found I know X 2

They say life's a marathon but I aint getting in line
Cuz when is winning time when there aint no finish line
I don't know about your life but I'll be living mine
I'm moving at my own pace y'all can run your own race
My mind occupies its own space
What the hell's a thrown when the clouds are your home base
I'm high as a kite right now
Out of your line of sight fly by night like owl
Third eye gleaming from a bird's eye scheming
Somewhere between flying and dreaming
Is where you'll find me ego behind me
Trying to keep pace while I dip through deep space
When I said I wouldn't stop until I found it I meant it
I'll be back down in a minute, right now I'm in it
It's that feeling when you find what you're chasing
One time for the elevation
My feet are off the ground
I'll leave the world behind
And I don't mind I just feel so high
They tell me don't look down
But I'm not scared to fall
I want to see it all Imma take my time
My soul's open moving in slow motion
Dreams so potent that I got no notion
Of time and space, real and fake they'll never
Find this place and seal my fate cuz they can
Lock my body but my mind stays roaming
Coasting down the coast when I'm zoning, no potion
Heat from the sun, breeze from the ocean
I'll sleep when I'm done I'm deep in the moment
And Imma try to never let it go
Forever's where I'm headed if I let it flow incredible
I wish I could give you this feeling
With no concept of a ceiling
But I guess to each his own we just try with what we're given
But don't heed the limits the sky is the beginning
I hope we all find what we're chasing
2 times for your mind, elevation
My feet are off the ground
I'll leave the world behind
And I don't mind I just feel so high
They tell me don't look down
But I'm not scared to fall
I want to see it all Imma take my time

I'm watching my reflection watch me
Hoping I pass inspection got me
Deep in inflection hardly sleep cuz I'm stressing probably
These are the days of my life
And they flash by quicker than these street lights
Weed pipes, bottle of whiskey trying to keep right
But my mind's tugging left
And this world's going straight for the side of my neck
I'm a wreck
About one bank fee away from loading up and firing a tech to find some respect
They'll label me a looney and maybe I am truly
I care about our children's babies, sue me
We value power over conscience
Trade our lives for an hour of that nonsense
Feeling like Wu Tang but I don't say it proudly
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
Get the money
It's the CREAM the money hoodie tight when its sunny
Best protect your neck these streets hungry
My evasion is blazing
Unblocked like Barry Sanders I'm still skating
Fuck patience deliver me from evil
Impregnate the earth with my sequel
And lay my head next to my equal
Sideways glares like I'm looking through a peephole
There's no price on a piece of mind
Pay with your soul if you grab a piece of mine
I aint lyin I'm a lion watch me protect my pride
Stopwatch can't check my stride
For these dollar signs motherfuckers will loot and kill
Kill my conscious so I can't feel
Bottle it up but my dreams still spill
Back when I tried to cop a feel
Now I'm trying to cop a pill
Take me away is all a nigga's on these days
But I wake up with the rain in my way
These Ben Franks is so passé

Loving you is like a breath of warm air
I could breathe you in forever
I know you feel the same
So baby what we gonna do about the situation?
Hold me like you did
Tell me all those things you like to do
Treat me like you used to treat me girl
And I'll be there for you
I'll be the man you wanted me to be
Any time you call I'll try to be there for you
I know you'll do the same thing
Cuz I know we're the same
Ain't that true?
Nothing ever changes, nothing ever seems right
Nothing ever feels good, girl without you by my side
I don't wanna go on feeling this without you
I know I made the first call but I know I need you now
Let's pretend like it never happened lights camera action
Cuz my life's steady passing and I might get to macking
But these women ain't got shit on you
You know that I'm missing you
Careful who you listen to
What you gonna do when they hit on you huh
I mean they might have more cheddar but nobody does it better
C'mon who gonna get you wetter
But the physical aside are you miserable as I
Every time I see your picture I can't help but get that shiver
Liquor don't help
God knows I tried my liver gonna melt
If I keep this up just might drown
Throw it all up once I drink it down
This shit's insane feeling like I might've just missed the train
You're acting like you could forget my name
I try to do the same but I miss the pain
There goes my pride out the window of my old ass ride
Tuck my chin though try to hold my stride
Hoping everyday I loves coincide
Even though you're filled with frost when you knock me down
God damnit I love you and I'm lost when you're not around
