lirik lagu malcom mufunde - can't fall, pt. 3

[intro]
yeah
chitown
a boy gotta dream, right?
we all do

[verse 1]
i think my time is now, i’ve patiently endured the wait
the ogs bowed out, i had to pick up the slack
i’m representing every b-st-rd looking after their child
and every hustler on the block always breaking new ground
for they are my inspiration, i started in detention
i’ve always raised cain since playschool education
a young n-gga trynna be the savior of the hood
from the turfs of h-ll and half of georgia, the man stood
where many of my brothers had to pay the debt of nature
that’s paying through the nose for a life promising better
so we wave off the penury and try to pedal forward
banking shots off the backboard though we can’t afford jordans
life heavily mortgaged, living in debt bondage
i know a few einsteins that can’t afford college
death to the collectors and every government office
no education but we can read the eviction notice
doors slammed in our faces by multiple landladies
the bible kinda ignored us, we wrote our own verses
high off the green goddess, they say we live godless
we loved sunday school and the pot too regardless
these are crimes of the heart, but who’s to blame?
it’s not like we picked out the lifestyle that we led
we are the chosen people, lower tier of the pyramid
reciting the father’s prayer just hoping he deliver me

[chorus]
hope springs eternal, lord please react now
long live the savior, storms we will weather
can’t fall
we can’t fall
god will not fail us, no need to fear thus
soak me in prayer, drop me in the air but
can’t fall
i can’t fall

[verse 2]
i feel my time has come, i’ve always had to race with the clock
we never played with fire but were friends with the smoke
every minute in the projects dragged a few more years
but i’m numb to the pain now, i feel no tears
i know a few happy endings but i’m counting on mine
looking forward to the plot twist, we’re gonna be fine
regrets over mistakes done
blew up my shot the very minute i earned one
boy lost a treasure
but if i ever get one more life
red lights wouldn’t stop my drive
let me shine at ya
i got a cousin who just cashed in a million pounds
funny thing he still sleepin’ in his mama’s house
said, “why leave her when i just made my mama proud?”
lessons i learned from the rich and wise
words echo in my eardrum, the tragedy lasting
made it in life but couldn’t make it past the traffic
seen it on the news, the mercedes couldn’t balance
he was sorta speeding driving back to his mama’s
and i’m thinking, what if he’d bought his own crib?
would he meet the same fate, did he really have to speed?
did he really have to call his mama that he’s on his way?
only to never return- god, your boy is on his way
shine your light at him

[outro]
yeah
i dedicate this to the chitown neighborhoods
a lot of my brothers, like me, just trynna find their footing in this life
uneducated, graduated- it don’t matter
we all learn things more important from these streets
a lot of y’all that know the block better than i do
a lot of y’all that’s run the streets for longer than i have
i appreciate y’all
