Falling Down Lyrics

[Intro: Trip Lee]
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
Hey, I know you think you the one, homie
It’s goin’ down
But can’t nobody escape Gravity
It’s goin’ down

[Verse 1: Trip Lee]
Yes sir, it’s about to go down
It’s spiralin’ to the ground, but I don’t think it’s gon’ slow down
This fallen world is fallin’, this building’s ‘bout to blow down
We just goin’ in circles, we don’t get another go ‘round
(It’s goin’ down) What happens when your life is leveled, bro?
A storm is comin’, can’t nobody’s levees hold
It’s heavy, bro, but I gotta let you know
It’ll help you look beyond this world like a telescope
(It’d be easy) Yeah, you can stack your money in the air (Air)
‘Til it’s rainin’ hund’eds all around your atmosphere
(It’d be easy) You can build a mansion sky high
‘Til can’t nobody see the roof when they drive by
But death’ll hit you like a drive by
And to that stuff you acquired you gotta say “Bye, bye” (Peace)
I ain’t gon’ lie, you might go down in history
But everything will go down eventually
Everything is falling (Down)

[Hook]
Everything is falling down, down, down
Everything is falling down, down, down
Everything is falling down, down, down
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
I see the sky fallin’
It’s goin’ down
And ain’t no way to solve it
It’s goin’ down
Going down
I hear the Lord calling
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down

[Verse 2: Swoope]
It’s goin’ down, rather comin’ down wit’ it
Cold world, condition is sin, here is the illness
It’s sickenin’, affliction so erotic, sickness so hypnotic
Desirin’ this virus even though we know it’s toxic
Godless, hallowin’ the gods that is counterfeit
We live from ‘de party o’ ‘de dearly departed
The darkness is flowing from my nostrils
We’re so psychotic, we still partyin’ like we not sick
YOLO, homie, so pour another glass
Roll another one up, let’s put on another mask
Another bundle o’ cash, another shorty to bag
Same thing e’eryday, groundhog under grass
Man, turn the music up cuz I don’t wanna hear the truth
‘Bout the things I’m living fo is dead and I’m the living proof
Shoot, the sky’s fallin’, ain’t no need to panic
Unless we party ‘til it cracks, seeing Jesus standin’
Coming down

[Verse 3: Lecrae]
Listen, it’s goin’ down, down, down holla’ “Mayday!”
Them fiends looking for candy and them dealers got that pay day
I seen them child soldiers; they was loading up some AK's
Ain’t playin’ Modern Warfare. Don't you know ain’t a war fair?
Scales never even, but they be triple beamin’
They keep them fiends fienin’, the Devil stay scheming
And dreamers steady dreamin’, but ain’t no hope here
Ain’t no satisfaction in money, women, and clothes here
Oh yeah! Them Christians in Christian Audigier
Hey, can't some young men say the stuff we gotta say?
‘Cause everything is fallen, it can happen any day
Your world come tumbling down and ain’t no way to get away
You ain’t never gon’ say you ain’t hear it from Lecrae
If I die before I wake I pray to the Lord your soul He'll take
All these drunken nights are empty like the bottles that we break
And you can't get high enough to escape
It's going down!

[Hook]
Everything is falling down, down, down
Everything is falling down, down, down
Everything is falling down, down, down
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
I see the sky fallin’
It’s goin’ down
And ain’t no way to solve it
It’s goin’ down
Going down
I hear the Lord calling
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down

About

Genius Annotation

‘Falling Down’ features labelmate Trip Lee and Collision Records artist Swoope, and was produced by the Watchmen.

Lecrae, Swoope and Trip Lee are talking about how the world is so shallow and corrupt. They criticize many things including YOLO, Christians, and corruption.

This song keys into the key themes of the album, ‘Gravity’ showing us that no matter who we are or what we may possess, we will ‘fall down’ into death, and this process acts like gravity in a sense, as it acts on each and every one of us.
