Falling Skies (Fouad's Tribute)

Ayo, this song is a bit different
It's a true story about
Um, just listen
I was
Sittin' in the car just me and my mother
Suddenly she speaks about her big brother
I wanna go and speak and maybe just hug her
But then she tells me 'bout a story and another
Wait
I know it's kinda late
But what type of guy puts a line on a date
On the place
That you gotta be at to just face
Everythin' that came in your life and your base
Raced with the bass
To trace down the pace
I'm placed now with ache
To stay down but ain't
No way
That I'ma stay in this place
Without sayin' the whole story straight
Hey
Gotta calm down and breathe
Gotta long way to be
Got a lot of ways to feel
But I pray with the need that
My mum, yeah Nanita
Never aches, never bleeds nah
I kinda break but I feel ya
Lemme tell ya a tale that'll kill ya
Imagine someone goin' from their highest to their lowest
I'm alive and I know this
I'm alive and hope that everybody alive is copin' fine
With the life that they're roped with
But I'm thrown with
All these different thoughts and emotions
Can't cope with
Anybody pretendin' that they notice
The place I've been at and hope that
I'll be okay
Yeah I'll be okay
I don't need your ways
I'll bleed then pray
And then I'll do that every week and day
I'm in a weakened state
But I'll breathe to stay
Alive for weeks and I'm sayin'

And you don't want the sky to fall down
And leave you all alone at night
And judgement day is coming around
So you know you better make it right
So you can play a part, and do it from the start
The people looking for you
That gone find you in the dark
So please don't let the sky fall down
The sky fall down on me

Aight, I was too enraged to tell the story yet
But my pen's on the page and I'm thrownin' in
Any pinch of pain that I feel while I'm drawing it
But I'm sowing it
Piece by piece
Please I need
To find the story then
Tell it in a way that is glorious
I'm torn with this, argh
Aight so
More about my uncle
Went to war and then they fed his hunger
With drugs galore to make him rumble
Lots of gore wasn't the trouble
Nor the war, he just crumbled
It feels like life is a scare
But tell me how is it fair?
A guy risks his life for his country and this is how we treat 'em?
We get our soldiers and we mentally feed 'em stuff that'll mentally beat 'em
But my uncle was different, he was a type of leader
Not a cheater, see he was depleted of his freedom
Now he's weaker due to treatments, so defeated
You see he was, a kid
Loves the wind and likes life for what it is
Now his life has been ill
How much longer will we let them drill
Holes in what we build
Don't get me wrong
I'm thrilled that he's alive
But I bet he longs and he thrives for his life at times when he was alright
My mum then tried
To tell me she's fine
But I don't believe her cuz one of her brothers died
Now the other lies
In the hospital bed
Cuz he's lost in the head
You ever had some words that striked you in ways
I have, my mum told me 'he looked just like you at your age'
And that filled me with pure rage
He was just a kid fit in a sure place
I'm killed knowing what you've faced
Is what I say not out loud but in my head
I said

And you don't want the sky to fall down
And leave you all alone at night
And judgement day is coming around
So you know you better make it right
So you can play a part, and do it from the start
The people looking for you
That gone find you in the dark
So please don't let the sky fall down
The sky fall down on me

Hopital Psychiatrique De La Croix
Entered then I see him and I feel him so taught
How can he be livin' like this, man we bought
Him a sandwich and a fancy watch
He turned to me and asked if I liked rap I said eternally and I had the chance to do that
Certainly showed him the song I made with Joe and
He sparked the hope in me like a sultan
Than sang the song Toy Soldiers
Then I told him
I'm bringing this hope for
Rap back
He told me to find my dream then grab that
Snatch that
That when he was a teen I looked like him but I'm way rad
I stay mad
Tryna hold the tears back, but my hands can't
I told my dad, I'll be right back
That I forgot my jacket back at the car and that was a lie
I just didn't wanna cry
In front of him cuz I
Wanted to make him feel alive
Wanted to make him feel fine
But the way he spoke his mind
Made me forget about the rhymes
It made wanna go back to the simpler times
When my biggest struggles in life were things I rhymed
When I only dreamt of things like drinks of wine
When I only felt a sting when I minced my mind
Tryna think of the things that pinched my spine
All these things that I miss and itch my mind
Everything ain't a bliss man I'll hitch a ride

And you don't want the sky to fall down
And leave you all alone at night
And judgement day is coming around
So you know you better make it right
So you can play a part, and do it from the start
The people looking for you
That gone find you in the dark
So please don't let the sky fall down
The sky fall down on me
