Fallin'

[Chorus: Bilal] I know I shouldn’t'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... (Fallin') [Verse 1: Jay-Z] Uhh, 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 until 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 to this 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? But there's a price for overdoing it Doing 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... [Chorus: Bilal (Jay-Z)] I know I shouldn’t'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 ya) fallin' [Verse 2: Jay-Z, (Bilal)] When you should've fell back Now you (Fallin'), right into they lap Fallin', they applauding, they screaming 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 Gods Can't blow too hard, life's a deck of cards Now your tumbling is 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 lawyers screams appeal, only thinking about a bill And your chances are nil Damn, gravity's ill... [Chorus: Bilal (Jay-Z)] I know I shouldn’t'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, (But ya) fallin' [Verse 3: Jay-Z, (Bilal)] 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 said they won't make the same mistake that got you there And your arm candy sweet on 'em And the women that you left for this heifer got a college degree coming Bad news keeps coming, hard to keep something in your stomach You're sick about what your life is becoming (Fallin') But your "used-to"s, "has-been"s, 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 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... [Chorus: Bilal] I know I shouldn’t'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...
