downtown - all falls down lyrics
{voicemail intro]
willie, i just want to let you know i’d rather listen to your music any day then listen to the f-cking radio
let’s get in touch, i’ve been f-cked up for like a week
but any way let me know when you’re leaving
later brother, love ya
{verse 1}
okay, its that time again
can i rhyme again?
can i spill my soul in ink and put my grind in this?
every time i drop an album i’ll be telling you all kinds of sh-t
like it’s my time and sh-t
i’m in my prime and sh-t
like it’s my best work ever and i really put my time in it
the radio might have a mold, but i’mma find a grip
i said i’m tryna reach the top, i gotta get my climb and grip
i believe it when i say it, but it’s kind of fibs
i told my dad that i’ll make it, now i’m looking at what time it is
i tell the youngins that i’ll make it, no more worries cause i’m kind of rich
10 tapes, still broke, but i never meant to lie to kids
i meant to tell em stay fearless, put your heart and put your shine in this
even if it ain’t rap, you gotta branch out and find a niche
cause we all have a purpose, figured mine out back in ’96
life diverted from the plan, as a youngin i was blind to this
never thought my dad would leave us, touch to spirit, touch and fly to wind
i feel the tears swell shut from my eyes to lids
excuse the raspiness inside my voice, i’m kinda ripped
finished dt k!llah, start the second one right fast
cause life is too short for hesitation or a time lapse
to break the ceilings so close, i can see it in my eye gl-ss
i know i’ll make it, biopics up on the imax
and f-ck the waves, don’t get caught up in the white caps
it’ll switch, trends will change, then you’re right back
where you started, so cold hearted, all you wanted was the stars and playing shows up at the garden
angels watching they departed
i’m living life inside a sitcom, i’m waiting for the sick calm (martin)
cause after 11 projects and cars with the speakers stocked in
600 songs in logic, 20 years of being boxed in
tryna get my music heard, but you never had the aux in
when we went to q’s house and we recorded “locked in”
felt like we had it locked then but never had it locked since
after all the aggravation from the addict to the bas-m-nt
lack of money, lack of patience, f-ggots hatin’, maggots famous
seen my dad as a patient, mother moving, chances wasted
being laughed at, having braces, breaking noses, breaking faces
losing sleep from deprivation, gaining flows to second naitchin
it’s a fight i’m at the weigh in, hip hop’s butcher shop (why?)
cause i had to put my steaks in (oh)
after all the devastation all i’m destined for is greatness
i’m on to verse two cause i had to make my statement
[hook]
when it all falls down and the moon and the sun f-ck
who you gonna call when you’re tryna let the gun bust
when it all falls down, when it all falls down, when it all falls down
{verse 2}
i’m a star, i just ain’t been a shooting one yet
there ain’t a shooting gun left to wreck the room til i’m dead
and that will ruin my rep, i’ll be..
10 toes on the surface before you step to me
shout my father and my gramps, let em rest in peace
which ironic, they’re my blood, they’re the rest of me
it’s in my soul to be the greatest at whatever i’m doing
it’s in my sole, the size 10 at your neck and it’s booted
roll up in the chase bank, and we’re getting it looted
burning flags and hitting trump at the confederate union
it was television pride that made america stupid
i’ll be back up in that -ss like i’m rikishi
had your girl skipping cl-ss, now i freak these geeks
the beast that’s me, hold the mic and go savage baby, that’s mean gene, (woo)
i ric flair ’em, i kick snare ’em, my d-cks bare, i’m..
going rawer then monday nights, i saw the light, the fog was bright
and my armors tight, i’m throwing money in bars at night
just to think i used to pray that my card would swipe
the hardest life, i’m smoking rappers like they’re marlboro lights
i’m irish with the heart to fight
i’m really hoping this album hits ’em with alga-rhythm
with how i hit em, the towels spinnin’ it’s sounds ridiculous
but hounds of women are out here spittin’
they mount my d-ck, and that sounds terrific
it’s nothing for me, the hungers gory, this was the story
i come for glory and thunder pouring
my love for touring when i’m performing is under warning
so seek some shelter, this beat is helter
the heats from meltzer
the peace and wealth for the demon helpers
beneath the stealth or..
i’m drinking like i don’t need my health more (i don’t need it)
[hook]
when it all falls down and the moon and the sun f-ck
who you gonna call when you’re tryna let the gun bust
when it all falls down, when it all falls down, when it all falls down
who you ‘gon call now?
