Evidence - Falling Down lyrics

They say that when it rains it pours
They're right

Falling from out of the sky
It's falling down on me
Praying come down, fall down
Praying come down, fall down
Falling from out of the sky

When I forgot to close the
Blinds I couldn't sleep
Kept waking up from all the shine
Glare in my eyes
I'm off three hours, eat, sleep
Repeat grind again
It's what he does that others don't
Do is what's defining him
I never would've thought the words
Wrote on a page
Would have me on the other side
Of earth on a stage
I never would've thought there was
A stage on earth
That made me feel more at home
Besides my place of birth
I'm from gun-slinging CA where
Every movie's watched
Then watched back for instant replay
So many days and nights
With ink bleeding papers
Fall asleep on flights
Call it sleeping with strangers
Now back to the City of
Angels where the rain is

Falling from out of the sky
It's falling down on me
Praying come down, fall down
Praying come down, fall down
Falling from out of the sky

I simplify by design, my words get scribed
To the vinyl when they rhyme
Mark it with a scribe
Count lessons, toes, fingers, I'm alive
I've passed so many lows to
Survive all the highs
I've learned some things and
Others learned to tolerate (like what?)
You can be a day short but not a dollar late
New day in chainlink, put it together
Beat the drum, pray for rain
We ain't the same under the weather
Just me against the world on
The verge of relentless
Trying to stay apart like each
Word of the sentence
King vs apprentice, champ vs challenger
The challenger swung, the champ fell
They kicked him out of there
I throw raps to sea in a bottle to float
Like a lost SOS that the novelist wrote
The wind blew and popped the top
They read the letter to whom it may concern
My sick words under the weather

Falling from out of the sky
It's falling down on me
Praying come down, fall down
Praying come down, fall down
Falling from out of the sky

So I forgot to change the
Time showing up early
With my money on my mind
Trying to keep from crime
One of a kind, I'm defined by my environment
For everything I did from
Inception to retirement
Cause I be running on unleaded fumes
Collecting money back for sacks fronted
For the rent is due
A daydreamer still running towards
The rainbow's ending
Knowing damn well the gold
Wasn't meant for spending
You ten cents from a nickel in your pocket
Shit, I'm thirty short of twenty
Dollars in my wallet yeah
You might need twelve fingers for the runners
Maybe six on the hand
Half a dozen on the other
I bundle up brown gloves for the summer
Shorts in the winter with
A slicker and umbrella
A fella chasing cheese like he running a maze
But really I'm just running in place
I need the bread to start

Falling from out of the sky
It's falling down on me
Praying come down, fall down
Praying come down, fall down
Falling from out of the sky
