The Fall-Off is Inevitable

Yeah, uh How I see it How I see it Yeah Listen, uh I persevered through the worst, my thirst to adhere is a curse My life, I see it in reverse, I first appeared in a hearse The driver steered to the church My grandkids carried the coffin to the altar as they burst into tears from their shirts The tears rise to the sides to their face and into their eyes, it's piercin' with hurt Fast-forward 60 years, I got verse of the year, my purpose is clear, it's to murk Whoever dare flirt with death The best alive and what you now hear is the work The inspiration was rare and in spurts, but when it's there, I'm immersed My experience of bein' a parent, dispersed Watching my son disappear as I stare at his birth And he returns to the womb, wifey stomach growin' greater in girth And then declinin' every time we come here, to the nurse With each day that passes, I could feel my career comin' first Do I? Took the wedding ring off her finger And now I'm single, walking up the aisle backwards to an era of dirt Fallin' clubs tipsy with a bitch, I see clear through her skirt The cameras be snappin', blogs be yappin', so I'm careful, alert Walkin' to my section, whisper right in my ear and we flirt We part ways, I see it from a distance, she stares with a smirk Cheers to the perks with the squad, we live for the search of new hos Lusty, quick to fuck me, unaware of their worth We leave the club, drive to the show and I swear that it's turnt It all begins with encore cheers from those wearin' my merch Fast-forward through years of rehearsal, losin', winnin' Bank account thinnin', income streams nowhere near as diverse And though I'm blessed, I see me stressin' from hearin' the chirps Of naysayers who, only days later, I don't care to convert On cloud nine, now signed to my hero One of the so-called kings of this rap thing that I swear to usurp Decade later, momma cut on the cable My motivation to be greater ends the moment I peer in her purse I'm growing shorter, pampers cover my hind quarters I watch my father walk back in my life and it clears up a hurt I couldn't explain, momma gives me my name Then hands me over to the doctor and I watch as my spirit reverts (Na, na, na) then, I'm no longer here on this Earth (Na, na, na) mm (Na, na, na) I'm no longer here on this Earth (Na, na, na) that's how I see it, mm I'ma, I'ma come in
