The Fall

For the soul
Yeah, I fell a lot
It's nothing wrong with the fall, get up and better plots
Long as you steady on your goals, nigga, never stop
I'm steady pushing lines, trying to get my family better blocks
Daily I'm wondering if Heaven real and Hell is hot
'Cause ain't a way the curse that God dealt us can be better, stop
Shit, gotta be something better

So, look, look, yeah, we fell a lot
But get back up and steady pacin' whether we fail or not
Delusional, what shit ain't possible?
I can't never tell it's not, it's in my DNA to never, ever stop
Voice of the people, ain't gotta wonder if I'm real or not
And stories in these verses are so more bars and feelings got
My nigga died unexpected, hoping that the killer stopped
We passed the hat around, just trying to put them in a better box

Look, we need better leaders, and we need better cops
Another Black soul gunned down from a devil lock
Niggas hustle like the Flintstones, niggas pedal rocks
I show them better ways, navigations to a better block
It's all love, support kings like Coretta Scott
Tell me your dream, I can show you how to get there
One wrong decision that he made, he gotta sit there
They told him life was hard, they ain't never said the shit fair

Yeah, I fell a lot
You gotta be careful with the fall
Lose my queen over vices, 'cause I'm careless with a car
Drunk texting, break hearts, I done seen and done it all, real

Yeah, I fell a lot
Yeah, sometimes I feel a lot

Uh, yeah, I fell a lot
But I never fell off track or derailed the plot
I often let my courage flourish, but I'm scared a lot
And just 'cause I don't express it, don't mean that I don't care a lot
Dry eyes, my tears flowing through this pen and pad
Reminiscing on them days before ink was on my wrists and hands
Feel like I lost my innocence when I was six, and I shouldn't have
But selfishly caused me to reach for heights most people couldn't grab

I put myself first, 'cause I always felt I was put last
But didn't have balance, neglected those who never switched
And stabbed his back of mine
Like when I put my sis in the back of my mind and missed the granny's funeral
If I could go back in time, of course, I would've been there
But in this life, ain't shit fair
Like how I drank everyday and my partner was here and there
But he the one who lost his life to liver damage, this shit weird

At times, he didn't wanna go out, I told him I went there
When he didn't wanna spend money, I told him, "Don't you trip here"
Here's another shot, my nigga, I failed a lot
While he was here, I know I could've helped a lot
I learned to put that bottle down, 'cause if he was still here, I know that he would tell us stop

Yeah, I fell a lot
On God
Yeah, nigga, I fell a lot
