[Hook - Bilal] I know I shouldn't have did that I know it's going to come right back I know it's going to destroy everything I made It's probably going to get your boy sent away But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it It's inevitable that I'm (fallin') [Verse 1 - Jay-Z] Said where I would stop before I even started When I get to one brick then the game I would depart with Got to one brick then I looked to the sky like: "Sorry God I lied but give me one more try" Got the two bricks; new cars, new whips But n***as never learn until they end up in the news clip The irony of selling d** is sort of like you using it Guess it's two sides to what substance abuse is Can't stop, won't stop, addicted to this new sh** Brand new convertibles, I'm so ruthless Front row fight night, see how big my tube is f** HD, n***a, see how clear my view is? (Fallin') But there's a price for overdoing it Doing it this big will put you on the map Stick-up kids is out to tax Plus the FBI boys with the cameras in the back Damn... [Hook - Bilal] [Verse 2 - Jay-Z] Now you (fallin'), when you should've fell back Now you (fallin'), right into they lap Fallin', they applauding, they screaming at the screen Damn you f**ed up like your favorite movie scene Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, Casino You seen what that last run did to DeNiro And he can't beat the odds, can't cheat the Gods Can't blow too hard, life's a deck of cards Now your tumbling is humbling, you're fallin', you're mumbling Under your breath like you knew this day was coming (Fallin') Now let's pray that arm candy That you left your ex for stay down and come in handy Cause come January it gets cold, when the letters start to slow And your commissary's low, and lawyers screams appeal Only thinking about a bill and your chances are nil Damn, gravity's ill... [Hook] [Verse 3- Jay-Z] (Fallin') And you can't get up All you do is push-up, pull-up, sit-up Locked down the town now belongs to the squares Who said they won't make the same mistake that got you there And your arm candy sweet on them And the women that you left for this heffer Got a college degree coming Bad news keeps coming, hard to keep something on your stomach You're sick about what your life is becoming (Fallin') But your use-to's, has-beens Ragging bad about all the new dudes Talking tough on the Youtube About what you used to do But that's old school to the new crew They doing numbers like Sudoku They're the new you, and it's damn near inevitable They'll experience deja vu too Fight and you'll never survive Run and you'll never escape So just fall from grace, damn
