falling down
₪ cunninlynguists Lyrics

But I was nearly crazy
I was on the verge of losing my sanity

And I was clearly crazy
I was undeniably mentally unstable

On I-85 North, going nowhere
Driving aimlessly on I-85 North

Would hit the 400, but I ain't got money for the toll there
Unable to afford the toll to take the 400 highway

Traffic backed up ahead of me, I see the road flares
Noticing the traffic congestion and road flares ahead

Replaying conversations in my head by my ex-wife
Mentally replaying past conversations with my ex-wife

From the house work that I did, to the kids, even our sex life
Recalling the responsibilities I had at home, including taking care of the kids and our intimate life

She said I was crazy so I threatened to prove her dead-right
In response to her calling me crazy, I made threats to validate her claim

So she got court orders, restraining me, put on the red lights
As a result, she obtained court orders to restrain me and put on a protective order

Frustrated, thinking how the fuck could I clean it up
Feeling frustrated and contemplating how to fix the situation

Traffic stopped, about 1000 degrees in my truck
Being stuck in traffic with a scorching temperature inside the truck

Loosened my tie, wiped the sweat out of my eyes, mixed with tears
Adjusting my tie and wiping the sweat mixed with tears from my eyes

Mind thick with fears, I've lost everything that I done built for years
Overwhelmed by fear, as I have lost everything I worked hard to build over the years

Bright yellow school bus fucking up my limbo
The presence of a bright yellow school bus disrupting my state of mind

Kids bitchin', cussin', flickin' boogers upon my window
Children complaining, cursing, and flicking boogers on my car window

Start rolling it down for some air and the handle breaks
Attempting to roll down the window for fresh air, only to have the handle break

Kick my door open, dive out, feeling some escape
Desperately kicking open the car door and jumping out in an attempt to find some relief

"We said vows and shit, that shits' for life right?!
Reflecting on the commitment of marriage and how it is supposed to last a lifetime

Yeah, that shit's until death, death...

But that bitch don't be listening to me!
Expressing frustration that my significant other doesn't listen to me

She'll prolly throw a fucking fit and shit!

I'ma go there that bitch is gonna listen to me

She'll see I'ma fix this shit, FUCK THAT!"
Believing that once she realizes my determination to fix the relationship, she will change her perspective

[White man in the background]: "Move your fucking car, maaaaan!!"
An unrelated person angrily shouting at me to move my car

Motherfucker is my own car really haulting movement
Realizing that it is my own car causing the traffic congestion

I got some powerful shit in my trunk want me to use it?
Considering using the dangerous items in my trunk to cause havoc

I grabbed that shit, cocked it now talk like you're silly!
Taking hold of the dangerous item, preparing to use it, and challenging others to speak foolishly

Am I crazy for wanting my babies to have a father!

Vowing to prove to my wife that she should put more effort into the relationship

Stop them kids from screaming, it's pushing me even farther!
Expressing frustration with the children's constant screaming, which is exacerbating my mental state

It's my daughter's birthday, Billy, you like this gift?
Acknowledging that it is my daughter's birthday and questioning if 'Billy' likes the present I have for her

Your name's not Billy? Really? Then why do you react to it?
Realizing that the person's name is not 'Billy,' but wondering why they respond to it

If you're an actor, am I your fuckin' audience?
Questioning the nature of the person's identity and our relationship
