Jay-z - Fallin' (feat. Bilal) lyrics

rate me

I know i shouldnt've did that

I know its gon' come right back

I know its gon' destroy everything i made

Its probably gon' get ya boy sent away

But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it

Its inevitable that i'm-

Said where i would stop before i even started

When i get to one brick, then The Game i will depart with

Got to one brick then i looked to the sky, said

Sorry God, i lied, but give me one more try

Got to two bricks, new cars, new whips

But niggas never learn til' they end up in the newsclip

The irony of selling drugs is sort of like i'm using it

Guess its two sides to what 'substance abuse' is

Can't stop, won't stop, nigga since new shit

Brand new convertibles, i'm so ruthless

Front row, fight night-see how big my tube is?

Fuck HD, nigga see how clear my view is?

(FALLING)

But there's a price for overdoing it

Doin' it this big'll put you on the map

Stick-up kids is out some tax

Plus the FBI Boys with the cameras in the back, DAMN!

I know i shouldnt've did that

I know its gon' come right back

I know its gon' destroy everything I made

Its probably gon' get ya boy sent away

But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it

Its inevitable -

Now you're

(FALLING)

When you should've scaled back,

Now you're

(FALLING)

Right into they lap

Falling, they applaud and they screamin' at the screen

"Damn, you fucked up!" like your favorite movie scene

Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, Casino

You seen what that last run did to DeNiro

When he can't beat the odds, can't cheat the cards

Can't blow too hard, life's a deck of cards

Now you're tumbling, its humbling, you're falling, you're mumbling

Under your breath like you knew this day was coming

(FALLING)

Now let's pray that arm candy

That you left your Ex- for stay 'down' and come in handy

Cause come January, it gets cold

When the letters start to slow, when your commissary's low

When your lawyer screams "Appeal!" only thinkin' bout a bill

When your chances are nil, damn, gravity's ill...

I know i shouldnt've did that

I know its gon' come right back

I know its gon' destroy everything i made

Its probably gon' get ya boy sent away

But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it

Its inevitable-

That you're

(FALLING)

And you can't get up

All you do is push-up, pull-up, sit-up

Locked down, the town now belongs to the Squares

Who say they won't make the same mistakes that got you there

And ya arm candy's sweet on 'em

Every woman that you left for this heffa got a college degree comin'

Bad news keeps coming

Hard to keep something on your stomach

You're sick 'bout what your life is becoming

(FALLING)

Bunch of used to's, has been's bragging bad 'bout all the new dudes

Talking tough on the YouTube bout what you used to do

But that's old school to the new crew

They're doing numbers like Sudoku

They're the new you

And its damn near inevitable they'll experience deja vu too

Fight, and you'll never survive

Run, and you'll never escape

So just fall from grace, damn....

I know i shouldnt've did that

I know its gon' come right back

I know its gon' destroy everything i made

Its probably gon' get ya boy sent away

But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it

Its inevitable that i'm

FALLING

Seems like I'm Falling

FALLING

Seems like i'm Falling

FALLING

Seems like I'm Falling

FALLING

Seems like i'm Falling

FALLING

Seems like I'm Falling

FALLING

Seems like i'm Falling

FALLING

Seems like I'm Falling

FALLING

Seems like i'm......
