Fallin' (A Cappella)

I know I shouldnt've did that
I know it's gon' come right back
I know it's gon' destroy everything I made
It's probably gon' get ya boy sent away
But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it
It's inevitable that I'm

Said where I would stop before I even started
When I get to one brick, then the game I would depart with
Got to one brick then I looked to the sky, like
Sorry God, I lied, but give me one more try (try)

Got to two bricks, new cars, new whips
But niggas never learn 'til they end up in the news clip
The irony of selling drugs is sort of like you using it
Guess it's two sides to what substance abuse is

Can't stop, won't stop, addicted 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? (Fallin')

But there's a price for overdoing it
Doin' it this big'll put you on the map
Stick-up kids is out to tax
Plus the FBI Boys with the cameras in the back, damn

I know I shouldnt've did that
I know it's gon' come right back
I know it's gon' destroy everything I made
It's probably gon' get ya boy sent away
But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it
It's inevitable, now you're (fallin')

When you should've fell back
Now you're (fallin'), right into they lap
Fallin', they applauding, 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 De Niro in Heat

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 (fallin')

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, and your commissary's low
And your lawyer screams, "Appeal" only thinkin' bout a bill
And your chances are nil, damn, gravity's ill

I know I shouldnt've did that
I know it's gon' come right back
I know it's gon' destroy everything I made
It's probably gon' get ya boy sent away
But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it
It's inevitable, that you're (fallin')

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 your arm candy's sweet on 'em
And the woman that you left for this heifer
Got a college degree coming
Bad news keeps coming

Hard to keep something on your stomach
You're sick 'bout what your life is becoming (fallin')
But your use-to's, has-beens, ragging bad about 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 it's damn near inevitable they'll experience déja 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 it's gon' come right back
I know it's gon' destroy everything I made
It's probably gon' get ya boy sent away
But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it
It's inevitable that I'm
