Falling Down
Cashmere The PRO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

[Kno]

But I was nearly crazy
And I was clearly crazy

[Deacon the Villain]
On I-85 North, going nowhere
Would hit the 400, but I ain't got money for the toll there
Traffic backed up ahead of me, I see the road flares
School bus on my right, kids laughin' with brown and gold hair
Replaying conversations in my head by my ex-wife
From the house work that I did, to the kids, even our sex life
She said I was crazy so I threatened to prove her dead-right
So she got court orders, restraining me, put on the red lights
Frustrated, thinking how the fuck could I clean it up
Traffic stopped, about 1000 degrees in my truck
Loosened my tie, wiped the sweat out of my eyes, mixed with tears
Mind thick with fears, I've lost everything that I done built for years
Bright yellow school bus fucking up my limbo
Kids bitchin', cussin', flickin' boogers upon my window
Start rolling it down for some air and the handle breaks
Kick my door open, dive out, feeling some escape

"We said vows and shit, that shits' for life right?!
Yeah, that shit's until death, death...
That shit can be mended
But that bitch don't be listening 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!"

[White man in the background]: "Move your fucking car, maaaaan!!"

Motherfucker is my own car really haulting movement
I got some powerful shit in my trunk want me to use it?
I grabbed that shit, cocked it now talk like you're silly!
If you needed some release would I fuck with you, Billy?
"Look away lady, before I swiss cheese your Mazda"
Am I crazy for wanting my babies to have a father!
Gonna show my bitch of a wife she better work a little harder
Stop them kids from screaming, it's pushing me even farther!
It's my daughter's birthday, Billy, you like this gift?
Your name's not Billy? Really? Then why do you react to it?
If you're an actor, am I your fuckin' audience?
Kids, look how many different directions his body went
It's okay, I'm not crazy, I got kids your age
Don't be afraid, I said don't be afraid! Behave!
Now y'all be cool now, I'm leaving now, it's beyond hot
'Bout to visit my wife after hitting the pawn shop for more glocks
I got some shit to fix (sinister chuckle) I got some shit to fix

[Mr. SOS]
Today's about to be one of the biggest days of my life
'Cause I'm about to ask the women I love if she'll be my wife
I just know that she will, for this women, I'll KILL
I used to clean dishes at Micky D's, now I'm on GRILL
So I've been able to save up enough money for this necklace
Along with this ring for when I pop the big question
But my manager's been stressin' the way I been dressin'
Tellin' me I need new shoes but I can't afford to get them!
He's all about perfection and does shit that I hate!
Today he wrote me up and I was only five minutes late!
And then he threatened to take me off grill and make me scrub plates
And the toilet where people shit out all the food they just ate!
AW FUCK! I'm starting to hear my screws bust
Screw it, I'll do it, He gives me Windex and a toothbrush
Now I'm scrubbin the toilet like, FUCK MY BOSS and HE STINKS!
I'm asking my girl to marry me, fuck what everyone thinks
Let me look at the ring now to calm me down like my shrink
NOOOOOO! I JUST LOST IT AND NOW IT'S LOST IN THE SINK
And today on my lunchbreak my girl's supposed to come through
I want to ask her but without the ring what'll I do?

Dialogue:
[SOS]: Wassup baby. Listen I want to tell you something.
[GIRL]: "Yeah?"
[SOS]: Well, we've been together for a long time and...
[GIRL]: "Uh huh..."
[SOS]: ...I love you more than anything in this world... Will you marry me?
[GIRL]: "So where's the ring?"
[SOS]: I... I had one but... I dropped it in the sink...
my... my manager... he... he made me get off the grill and clean the toilets
and...(sob)
[GIRL]: Yeah... WHATEVER! I'm seeing somebody else anyway, loser!"

[SOS]: Grrrrrrrrrrr......

FUCK YOU FOR REAL! SNUFF TO YA GRILL! SMACK TO YA FACE!
FOOT TO YOUR CROTCH! Look at the cops...
THANKS FOR THE GAT! RAT-A-TAT-TAT! CRIME IN THE ACT!
BITCH, DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT???
SICK cause my mind just snapped pretty hard!
Fatality... RIP YOUR TITTY OFF!
Pull out the gun that I got from the cop
And make her face look like Barbecue sauce.
Bite off her nipple like it's on the menu
And spit it out the drive through window inside a pinto and leave the driver
crippled
When I fire my pistol like it's a missile. (BLAOW!)
Start to hear sirens whistle I've lost my mind, it's official!
Grab my manager's pencil and stick it in his eye tissue
For having a time issue go to the bathroom and try to kick through
The sink. I made a mess and shot cops. Let off a couple of pop pops
ON THE CLOCK let me go before the alarm stops
I'ma take this damn ring to the pawn shop

To get my FUCKIN money back... (cries) fuckin bitch!

[Kno]
Ignition contact in my little compact
Nissan piece of shit and I need to quit
Funneling Night Train pummels my right brain
Feel the pain of a hangover, I smell the faint odor of piss
I need to lower my risk
Hittin my liver with this liquid deliverance
I'm fuckin laughin and stuck in traffic
As my 8-track tape deck pumps some wack shit
Its drastic
I walked in on my friend with his hand caught in my wife's panty elastic
While she was wearin em!
Started tearin em a new asshole verbally
I don't think I hurt em
Twisted off the MD and Bourbon
Got the straight vodka in my coffee thermos
Put on my game face and walk in the door
Of my job at the strip mall discount department store.

Dialogue:
[Boss]: Dan-O! Happy Birthday
[Kno]: Thanks!
[Boss]: Oh, before I forget uh, we're gonna have to let you go Dan-O.
[Kno]: What?!
[Boss]: Yeahh, we've been monitoring incoming packages for a while now, we
noticed you have a fetish for naked pictures of Janet Reno and Will Smith
CD's. Yeahh.
[Kno]: (crying)
[Boss]: Hey, uh...what's the machine gun in the paper bag for?

No, Mr. Johnson! YOUR ASS IS FIRED!
here's your pink slip get hit with six clips
Salepeople out front, I ain't forget ya'll
Split ya'll, and everybody in this strip mall
Walk in the Dollar Store and just let off
Now even the managers body is 50% off!
Hit up Toys are Us and bust my shit
(ratttatat) TRICK LUH DA KIDS!!
Music store massacre, cus they're trying to tell me
21.99 for a Nelly CD?!
Verizon fucked up my service so they ain't out of the woods
Can you hear me now? BIATCH!(gunshot) GOOD!!!
Shop owners, cashiers, even the patrons
This is punishment for gettin caught in my matrix




the chance for survival is miniscule
I see two dudes walking towards the pawn shop they bout to get it too

Overall Meaning

The song "Falling Down" by Cashmere The PRO's is a narrative rap that tells the story of three men who experienced a mental breakdown, impacting their work and personal relationships. The song is a reflection of how their thoughts and emotions, which were once manageable, suddenly spiraled out of control.


The first verse is about Deacon the Villain's life, a man whose wife left him and took his kids away. He is driving on the highway, replaying conversations in his head, about his life and conversation with his ex-wife. The thoughts in his head mixed with the frustration of being in traffic, push him to the edge where he considers using his weapons in his trunk. He starts to have a mental breakdown when he is stuck in traffic, and eventually, he snaps and leaves his car.


The second verse is about Mr. SOS, who has been saving up to buy a ring to propose to his girlfriend. However, his job that he hates, combined with the pressure from his boss to dress well, takes its toll on him, and he snaps. Mr. SOS is told that he's going to be demoted to scrubbing toilets unless he works hard enough. When his girlfriend comes over during his lunch break, he loses the ring in the sink, which sends him over the edge. He ends up lashing out, damaging his workplace and injuring law enforcement agents.


The third and final verse is about Kno's life, who walks into his work one day to be fired unexpectedly. After finding out that he has been fired, he goes on a violent rampage in a mall, shooting up stores, including the ones he has just been fired from. He ends up being violent and aggressive towards everyone in the mall.

I had something like this happen to me in Barcelona's underground tram system. I'd just gotten to Barcelona so I looked like the confused backpacker that I was, when a couple guys walking down the tunnel and talking to each other suddenly stopped talking when they saw me around a corner.

One hailed for my attention while the other kept walking behind me as if to leave. While the one that stayed asked directions in broken English (that I clearly wouldn't know an answer as an obviously lost foreigner myself), the guy that walked behind me squirted brown goo on the back of my shirt. The one pretending to ask directions let me "go" when I said I couldn't help him, but once my back was turned to him he said "wut's dis sh*t on your back?" He used a bit of paper to scoop some off and show me the brown goo.

While he was busy "helping" me clean it off, he was actually distracting me and turning me bit by bit from my luggage. I'd kept my hand on it the whole time because I felt something was off, but when he held out the dirty paper and said "take, take" I removed my hand from my luggage to take the paper.

Little did I know "take, take" was also the code for his partner in crime to take my luggage. It was a large purse sitting on top of a suitcase, but I'm sure they thought it was a purse with all my money and valuables. Little did they know it only had a few chargers, some wet jeans, socks, and some vitamins, but it was still a disillusioning experience.

I chased them yelling pickpocket (since that was the word used on all the warning signs), but they were fast. After I'd lost them and sat down to cry, a nice Spanish man that could speak English came to help me. He found terminal personnel and they called the police to file a report. It was never found, but it was the principle that mattered. I'm forever grateful to the kind gentleman that came to help me. People that victimize vulnerable people are the worst filth among humanity.

Karle, as a indian I feel very bad for foreigners, after watching. Thanks for bringing such real things on public ground,

I must say sorry to all foreigners for having such bad experience in my country.

This is not not good at all

Long run is very bad for India, I hope government will bring some strict laws for such things.

Great job karle, your courage + initiative is simply superb.

alan_123

I'm from india they just do it everywhere almost for shoe cleaning it costs only 5-10rs they took 800rs this is bad and the main reason india is a developing country but not a developed.
But there are places where foreigners can visit where there will be no scammers like ladakh.

I like how he said “No pictures” and you said “I don’t care” savage

Don't be so rude to those scammers. Thieves, perhaps but savages is borderline racist.

Sam Laws

@Ambrosia A A My mistake. I hated seeing him disrespect them in their place of business. He should go home.
