The Fall-Off is Inevitable

[00:04.60] Yeah, uh
[00:13.45] How I see it
[00:17.29] How I see it
[00:20.49] Yeah, listen, uh

[00:27.04] I persevered through the worst, my thirst to adhere is a curse
[00:30.18] My life, I see it in reverse, I first appeared in a hearse
[00:32.93] The driver steered to the church
[00:34.41] My grandkids carried the coffin to the altar as they burst into tears from their shirts
[00:38.90] The tears rise to the sides of their face and into their eyes, it's piercin' with hurt
[00:43.05] Fast forward sixty years, I got verse of the year, my purpose is clear, it's to murk
[00:47.25] Whoever dare flirt with death
[00:49.21] The best alive and what you now hear is the work
[00:51.37] The inspiration was rare and in spurts, but when it's there, I'm immersed
[00:55.01] My experience of bein' a parent, dispersed
[00:57.77] Watching my son disappear as I stare at his birth
[01:00.74] And he returns to the womb, wifey stomach growin' greater in girth
[01:04.01] And then declinin' every time we come here, to the nurse
[01:07.01] With each day that passes, I could feel my career comin' first
[01:09.94] "Do I," took the wedding ring off her finger
[01:12.49] And now I'm single, walking up the aisle backwards to an era of dirt
[01:16.29] Fallin' clubs tipsy with a bitch, I see clear through her skirt
[01:19.26] The cameras be snappin', blogs be yappin', so I'm careful, alert
[01:22.41] Walkin' to my section, whisper right in my ear and we flirt
[01:25.42] We part ways, I see it from a distance, she stares with a smirk
[01:28.49] Cheers to the perks with the squad, we live for the search of new hoes
[01:32.64] Lusty, quick to fuck me, unaware of their worth
[01:35.22] We leave the club, drive to the show and I swear that it's turnt
[01:37.97] It all begins with encore cheers from those wearin' my merch
[01:41.09] Fast forward through years of rehearsal, losin', winnin'
[01:44.38] Bank account thinnin', income streams nowhere near as diverse
[01:47.06] And though I'm blessed, I see me stressin' from hearin' the chirps
[01:50.05] Of naysayers who, only days later, I don't care to convert
[01:53.37] On cloud nine, now signed to my hero
[01:55.97] One of the so-called kings of this rap thing that I swear to usurp
[01:59.57] Decade later, momma cut on the cable
[02:01.94] My motivation to be greater ends the moment I peer in her purse
[02:05.70] I'm growing shorter, pampers cover my hind quarters
[02:08.82] I watch my father walk back in my life and it clears up a hurt
[02:11.91] I couldn't explain, momma gives me my name
[02:14.50] Then hands me over to the doctor and I watch as my spirit reverts
[02:18.86] (Na, na, na) Then, I'm no longer here on this Earth
[02:21.79] (Na, na, na) Mm
[02:24.50] (Na, na, na) I'm no longer here on this Earth
[02:27.58] (Na, na, na) That's how I see it, mm

[02:35.62] I'ma c—I'ma—I'ma come in
[02:37.99]
