9th Wonder - Fallen lyrics

[Verse One] My sister can't afford me and there ain't no other way I need to find a place to stay or make my pennies in a harder way I'm on 19, turnin' 20 in months With all that stress on my chest, I need to puff on some blunts Now I'm on the job hunt to put the food on my plate I gotta get this APC but all I G.E.T. is section 8 Checks from unemployment with a**istance from the public The way I'm falling down, it's like my life is almost done with The way my confidence died, it kinda makes me teary eyed The easy life I was denied, now I'm breaking down inside Nowhere to hide, but my life I gotta run With all these problems on my shoulders and they weigh out to a ton Yeah I used to dream, now I'm runnin' from a nightmare I used to have goals but now it seems like it was never there No one's aware of my silent cry for help They tend to walk on by and let it ride and go all out for delf I was put here, now I'm gonna leave here Didn't ask for struggle and I didn't ask to be here And my situation? Some people thinkin' suicide I'm contemplating It's the time that I'm wasting On the run with devil's chasin' [Hook] "Fallen" - Busta Rhymes "My life, my life, my life, my life" Mary J. Blige 'My Life' "Fallen" "Cause in my physical I can't express through songs" - Nas 'It Ain't Hard To Tell' [Verse Two] I'm slowly slipping through the cracks of this society They said I'm gonna make it now I'm thinkin' that they lied to me I'm in the race I never win cause in this world there ain't no finish line Cause there's only time to shine then your life turns to a flat line For me to get mine, is like a never ending story Cause I'll never start to get it so there would be nothing for me Got nothing but experience upon my resume But I never understood why I never got a decent pay I bust my a**, I even went away for cla** For all the A to Z's I had in life, one on one I couldn't pa** I guzzle down the Crooked Eye, inhale the lah Before I get my wings and fly, I'm gonna cut me out a piece of pie All I have is crumbs, I wanna multiply my sums By the time my day will come I might be shaking hands with God's son My life is in the hole and I keep on falling Deeper in a ditch, I cry for help, nobody hears me calling It's a cold cold world, I wasn't born with a coat All I ever had was hope and all them rhymes that I wrote So through the walks in my life I'm going out for a stroll To put it simple and plain, it's just my life in the hole [Hook]
