Falling – Abstract

Woke up to these expectations killin’ me
Wasn’t it yesterday that no one cared what I could be?
I was cutting class, in that apartment I would spend my days
Hadn’t given up quite yet, I saw a brighter way
Sittin’ in those classes, mind too distracted
Packin’ up my things like, “Bye!” tomorrow absent
Plugged into my GarageBand for the rest of the week
Only leaving that apartment to go get something to eat
I was losing myself tryna fit a mold
I mean the one most of the people in my family hold
That you grow up, go to college, then locked inside of a cell
But the doors are open and they got coffee, so you can’t tell
That’s a nightmare, don’t you understand?
Fast forward four years, my album made a hundred grand
That’s a nightmare, don’t you understand?
To anyone who told me not to give my dreams a chance

I feel I’m fallin’ again (fallin’ again)
Oh, I fear I’m fallin’ again (fallin’ again)
Been down and I don’t know why
Same time, never been this high
My fears wanna take my mind
My heart tellin’ me I’m fine (tellin’ me I’m fine)

Falling purely ’cause I feel I might stoop to your level
Off my shoulder, word is murder; that’s straight from the devil
Angel tryna speak, but my indignation has peaked
Say they never fold, but I’m here revealing the crease
Seen a lot of people switch up for the wave
Keep opinions on it locked behind my teeth, ’cause who am I to save?
I got way too much on mine to worry ’bout another’s plate
I’ma lift the whole world and crush ’em under the weight
Your commentary elementary; I sound like who?
That album title ring a bell, did that 2012 (true!)
I been roasting through emotion, was coachin’ kids in the field
But this industry got history with inspiration concealed
I ain’t trippin’ on it, I got a opus that’s on the way
Any competition is hopeless—and by the way
Let ’em know I’m independent like back, back in the day
Way before it was just something your label told you to say

I feel I’m fallin’ again (fallin’ again)
Oh, I fear I’m fallin’ again (fallin’ again)
Been down and I don’t know why
Same time, never been this high
My fears wanna take my mind
My heart tellin’ me I’m fine (tellin’ me I’m fine)

I feel I’m—I feel I’m—I feel I’m
I’m fallin’ again
I feel I’m—I feel I’m—I feel I’m
I’m fallin’ again
I feel I’m—I feel I’m—I feel I’m (I feel I’m)
I’m fallin’ again (I’m feelin’, I)
I feel I’m—I feel I’m—I feel I’m (fallin’ again, yeah)
I’m fallin’ again
