SC Static & Zoo - Falling Down lyrics

Falling Down Lyrics (Static's Verse) Yo if you need a hand homie, let me be your guide I'll take you back to when we use to rehearse and practice each other's rhymes You gotta keep that energy alive Cause it seems like nowadays you lack a necessary drive You're too young to look back on your memories and thrive You got your whole life ahead of you, your destiny resides Wherever you desire, so progress and always strive Cause there's way more to life then a temporary high And back in Junior High, we were enemies, then split Over some dumb sh**, then we made a new friendship But nowadays you acting distant with resentment You ain't even the same kid that I became friends with Cause we were in this, from the start at the heart of it So you ain't even holding up your part of the bargain then I see the things you seek, so I question your intentions I see you looking weak, so I question your dependence Now I would never question your faith and your loyalty But I would question your mind state and your normalcy I question your humility it shows I question your stress and ability to cope I question your quest and ability to grow And your pens at your desk and then if you even wrote So if you ain't gonna try, then what's the point of pencil If you ain't willing to apply, then what's the point of potential? And stop acting like everyone is against you Cause in reality we're right here to defend you But you treat the ones who care dismissive and snobby Cause your too damn stubborn and never listen to anybody Cause we're just tryna understand what you've dealt with That you deny you needed help with, cause you're selfish And I'm just curious, after all the bad habits And carrying all that baggage, what the f** you think was gonna happen? That you'd get high and be able to focus Everything would just be fine and nobody would notice But I can see your struggling and suffering is major Cause your only displaying dysfunctional behavior I mean what I say, especially if I wrote it So I ain't gonna downplay it, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it Just think of all the pain you just put your mother through Just think of the example that you set for your brother Zoo And think of all your friends that just need you to be Zach And I know that its true cause I speak on their behalf But its different now, nobody can trust you Cause you became a different person after your drug use Pursue who you are and nobody can judge you Just know that we're here, that we care, and we love you Pursue who you are and nobody can judge you Just know that we're here, that we care, and we love you One Love Zoo (Zoo's Verse) And on a rainy day like today it's easy to feel down Just remember some of your boys are stuck in your hometown Feeling tied down to the game, still pushing pounds While we're at some bar in some city buying strangers rounds It doesn't matter if the ball's already out of bounds Go and get it, make sure you bring it back around Sometimes all it takes is one more rotation Before you realize you got some dormant motivation And by dormant, I mean sleeping for the moment It's fighting to wake up while you keep yourself in a coma And if I said it I meant it and then I probably wrote it Proceeded to fill it up and then roll it and smoke it And I stare at straight faces while they ask me what the joke is I stare back with blood shot eyes and an open mouth And I think about all the cities that I've lived in while I'm sitting on my mom's couch And lately I haven't been writing enough Life's been rough and fighting's a must Over the edge and under the cusp Shake off the rust, take off the cuffs Saddle up even if you've been bucked Paddle tough if your canoe seems stuck I realize it's pointless in life to just chase luck Ain't rockin' chucks from Cleveland, but it's time to ‘Lace Up' Maybe speed the pace up, read the great stuff From scrolls to pages, maybe even a blog Put more smoke in the air then the L.A. smog You don't have to tell me or help, I know the way that I've been living is wrong In the past it tends to take me away, but tonight it's given me this song Another late night, I'm home alone ever so often I'm looking for a man, but I'm afraid that I've lost him I keep hanging up flyers, “Missing” across the top Hoping that someday soon these nightmares might stop And if they don't, I'll close my eyes and keep dreamin' Like a wise man once said if you can't join them, then beat them So I step back, plan my attack Empty a bottle of Jack and then throw up all my guts on the track Yeah they say no guts, no glory And if you don't have the scars then you don't have the story The phone rings right away, I know who it is She says “look at the sky, look how blue it is” Yeah I know, I've seen it before She whispers “no look closer, I promise you will see more” So I did, I sat back and gazed into the skies It took me a while, suddenly I saw the God He had the face of the missing man on the flyers The one I admired, I took another hit and got higher He looked lost in paradise without even knowing Filled with emotions that he wasn't capable of showing He stumbled with a prescription pad in his hand Writing down the tribulations that made him a man He wrote words like pa**ion and balance, hard work and talent And of course how to be valiant Every second I watched, I could still hear her With every word she spoke the picture became clearer To the point in which I realized I was starring in the mirror
