[Intro:]
|
They say that when it rains it pours. They're right.
|
|
[Hook:]
|
Falling from out of the sky (It's falling down on me)
|
Praying come down, fall down
|
Praying come down, fall down
|
Falling from out of the sky
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
When I forgot to close the blinds I couldn't sleep
|
Kept waking up from all the shine, glare in my eyes
|
I'm off three hours, eat, sleep, repeat grind again
|
It's what he does that others don't do is what's defining him
|
I never would've thought the words wrote on a page
|
Would have me on the other side of Earth on a stage
|
I never would've thought there was a stage on Earth
|
That made me feel more at home besides my place of birth
|
I'm from gun-slinging CA where every movie's watched
|
Then watched back for instant replay
|
So many days and nights with ink bleeding papers
|
Fall asleep on flights, call it sleeping with strangers
|
Now back to the City of Angels where the rain is
|
|
[Hook:]
|
Falling from out of the sky (It's falling down on me)
|
Praying come down, fall down
|
Praying come down, fall down
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I simplify by design, my words get scribed
|
To the vinyl when they rhyme, mark it with a scribe
|
Count lessons, toes, fingers, I'm alive
|
I've passed so many lows to survive all the highs
|
I've learned some things and others learned to tolerate (like what?)
|
You can be a day short but not a dollar late
|
New day in [?] chainlink, put it together
|
Beat the drum, pray for rain, we ain't the same under the weather
|
Just me against the world on the verge of relentless
|
Trying to stay apart like each word of the sentence
|
King vs. apprentice, champ vs. challenger
|
The challenger swung, the champ fell, they kicked him out of there
|
I throw raps to sea in a bottle to float
|
Like a lost SOS that the novelist wrote
|
The wind blew and popped the top, they read the letter
|
To whom it may concern, my sick words under the weather
|
|
[Hook:]
|
Falling from out of the sky (It's falling down on me)
|
Praying come down, fall down
|
Praying come down, fall down
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
So I forgot to change the time showing up early
|
With my money on my mind trying to keep from crime
|
One of a kind, I'm defined by my environment
|
For everything I did from inception to retirement
|
Cause I be running on unleaded fumes
|
Collecting money back for sacks fronted for the rent is due
|
A daydreamer still running towards the rainbow's ending
|
Knowing damn well the gold wasn't meant for spending
|
You ten cents from a nickel in your pocket
|
Shit, I'm thirty short of twenty dollars in my wallet yeah
|
You might need twelve fingers for the runners
|
Maybe six on the hand, half a dozen on the other
|
I bundle up brown gloves for the summer
|
Shorts in the winter with a slicker and umbrella
|
A fella chasing cheese like he running a maze
|
But really I'm just running in place, I need the bread to start
|
|
[Hook:]
|
Falling from out of the sky (It's falling down on me)
|
Praying come down, fall down
|
Praying come down, fall down
|
Falling from out of the sky
