Falling down, used to be I shined so bright,
Now I can’t do right, and I’m,
Falling down, tumbling down, there’s no stopping it,
When you’re at the top the only option is,
Falling down, never thought I’d see me slip,
But my wings got clipped and I’m, falling down,
Falling down, yeah, I’m falling....(x2)
I used to run the city that I’m on the run from,
I was gonna free the people, problem is, I forgot where I come from,
So if I’ve fallen now, that’s where it all began,
I mean my falling down, let’s watch it all again,
I overthrew the Lord, when I just a lad,
I thought him evil, til his power made me just as bad,
He killed my father dead, to take my mom as queen,
Then dumped my body, as a baby, in the strongest stream,
And still it haunts my dreams; though I killed him too,
Revenge brought no peace; it birthed a villain, who,
Ruled with an iron fist, such an ironic twist,
Slumming to iconic to just comic and atomic,
Never seen without a blunt without a glass of gin and tonic,
I ain’t do my people proud, I made my people want to vomit, uh,
There’s no excuse for it, that’s why they’re doing this,
Truth is; I used to fly, but now I’m...
Falling down, used to be you shined so bright,
Now you can’t do right, and you’re,
Falling down, tumbling down, there’s no stopping it,
When you’re at the top the only option is,
Falling down, never thought I’d see you slip,
But your wings got clipped and you’re, falling down,
Falling down, yeah, you’re falling down...
Like a boxer fighting past his prime,
You’re being asinine, acting like you’re last in line,
You’re trying to hold on to the spot that you in fact defined,
I mean the top, but ain’t adapting to the passing times,
So now you’re relegated to a relic, hate it, can’t dispel it,
Cause your cockiness is what let the situation develop, uh,
You need to let it go, just take your bread and go,
Before retirement issues turn into medical,
Used to be the boss man, what we all aspired to,
Now you’re looking lost, man; fall is what empires do,
Thought that you would know it, if you did, you didn’t show it,
First they see it, then they covet, then they plot to overthrow it,
So your legacy is lost, a story from the past now,
A cautionary tale to be passed down,
And if you wanna know the title, I can tell it to you,
It’s “The Story of the Dealer who was cast down”.
Falling down, used to be he shined so bright,
Now he can’t do right, and he’s,
Falling down, tumbling down, there’s no stopping it,
When you’re at the top the only option is,
Falling down, never thought I’d see him slip,
But his wings got clipped and he’s, falling down,
Falling down, yeah, he’s falling down...
Kinda like a tree in the forest,
A million people saw it, though, and most of em ignored it,
Inherited enough to feed those who couldn’t afford it,
And let em starve, that’s when his soul was forfeit,
I guess the lesson learned here is greed intoxicates,
History repeats and it’s sick, so inoculate,
All men are evil, if you let em be,
And every single one will tell you, you can bet on me,
And so we watch him as he walks, possessions in a bag,
And his treasures in a box on the back of an ox,
He is headed for the docks, through the wrath of the crowd,
They attack him with rocks, though his path is allowed,
So it’s step-by-painful-step and if he stops he dies,
But at the very least, they get to watch him cry,
Then, when he sees the docks, everything seems to stop,
He never sees who shot, he’s already...
Falling down, used to be he shined so bright,
Now he can’t do right, and he’s,
Falling down, tumbling down, there’s no stopping it,
When you’re at the top the only option is,
Falling down, never thought I’d see him slip,
But his wings got clipped and he’s, falling down,
Falling down, yeah, he’s falling down...
