Falling Down
Nine Leaves Lyrics

Punch in, punch out
Starting and ending the work schedule

Six days a weak
Working 6 days out of 7

Pull 16's a day but that aint with a beat
Working 16-hour shifts without any music

But I still walk the beat
Continuing to work hard despite tough conditions

And I still sweep the streets
Performing menial tasks in spite of the hard work

But still shit aint sweet
Even though working hard, life is not easy

I still grit my teeth
Enduring the pain without giving up

Bear and try it
Take the pain and continue working through it

Dare to care and flare up riots
Risking everything to make a change in the world

Bear the violence
Faced with violence and the aftermath

The backlash from this tyrant
The consequences of trying to make a change against a tyrant

Might suffice, fu*k it I might just slice
I might give up or rebel against the system in a violent way

Twice as nice when my mic device makes a sacrifice
Using music as a catharsis to express pain and frustration

But I keep my murdering on paper
Expressing violent thoughts in music instead of acting on it

Babies need Daddy to keep working to steady keep the cake up
Continuing to work hard for the sake of providing for loved ones

Keep the baker making dough
Keep working hard despite the monotony

I hate this whole rigmarole
Disliking the entire process of hard work and monotony

This whole rolling life is getting old
The hard work taking a toll over a long period of time

But I can't stand to fold
Choosing to continue working despite the hardships

Hands cracked from cold exposure to the pain
Physical pain from hard work and harsh conditions

Pride keeps me bold
Unwilling to give up due to a sense of pride

Do what you're told
Following orders despite not liking it

But your patience wasting thin
Running out of patience with the repetitiveness and monotony of work

This is what can happen when the Devil makes you grin
The negative effects when one is forced to do something they don't want to do

I am not the same
Feeling different and changed

Wish I could have changed
Regretting not having made a change earlier

Only myself to blame
Taking responsibility for not having made a change earlier

Heaven's off the ground
Happiness is difficult to attain

But now I'm falling down
Feeling like happiness is slipping away

Karma is the medicine times ten
Karma is a powerful force and its effects are ten times stronger than what it seems

Revenge on my mind
Wanting to get revenge for past wrongs

Ascend on the scene with plans for a crime
Making plans to get revenge

Some bound to find my notes on this
The plan may eventually be revealed to others

But it's all in my mind
The plan is only a thought for now

My hopes and shit
My aspirations and thoughts

So for now, on that grind
Focusing on hard work for now

I keep moving on and on that grind
Continuing to work hard despite the thought of revenge

I keep pushing on and often I find
Continuing to work in hopes of finding happiness

That there's a dead end or no end at all
Feeling like there is no end to the hard work

No cliff to fall off
No guaranteed escape from the hardships

Just a long road to haul
A long journey filled with hard work

Backpacking, track
Carrying a figurative weight with each step

I'm pulling this weight
Working hard despite the difficulty

My back cracks
Feeling physical pain from the hard work

I'm all fed up from this plate
Feeling overwhelmed by the hardships

And I can't take no more of this hate
Feeling fed up with the negative environment

I gotta keep pace
Continuing to work despite the pain

No break time to waste
No time for a break, must continue working

How did it come to all of this
Wondering how things became this difficult

When all of this means more than all of this
Even though the hard work is tough, it still holds value

And there is so much more to this
There are hidden aspects to hard work that make it worthwhile

My morbidness will order it
My negative thoughts contribute to my plans to get revenge

So sick I am to call it this
Disliking the thought of revenge but feeling it is necessary

But here it is, so corner in
The plan for revenge is here, and I must accept it

Call the ner
Prepare for battle

There'll be some sort of slaughtering
There will be chaos

And there's a thin line bordering my genius and insane
The line between creativity and madness is thin

And the genius side keeps losing cuz my thoughts seem so deranged
My thoughts for revenge are so intense that they overshadow my creativity

And I'm tired and I'm strained
Feeling exhausted and stressed

And I'm fed up from all this mess
Unable to take the negative environment anymore

It's this mess that I am in that is causing so much distress
The difficult environment is causing mental and emotional pain

So fu*k the rest
Disregarding the negative environment and continuing to work hard

The check is what I'm after
Continuing to work for the sake of earning pay

After it's all said and done my path has left disasters
Despite hard work, leaving behind negative consequences and chaos

I put my feet up on my desk and laugh at all you bastards
After working so hard, disregarding others' opinions and judgments

I've done my daily dirt so all of ya'll can keep the answers
Continuing to work hard despite others' opinions because of the rewards

I'm finished with your ignorance, stupidity
Disregarding others' opinions and lack of understanding

I'm done
Feeling like hard work has no end

I'm punching out right now
Stopping work for the day or forever

So kiss my ass, I'm on the run
Disregarding others' opinions and judgments while moving forward

I've done this run before and more or less it's worn me down
Feeling that this hard work has taken a toll before

I'm falling down
Feeling like life is slipping away

Falling down:
Continuing to fall further and further behind

I am not the same
Feeling different and changed from the past

Wish I could have changed
Regretting not having made a change sooner

Only myself to blame
Taking responsibility for not having made a change earlier

Heaven's off the ground
Happiness is difficult to attain

But now I'm falling down
Feeling like happiness is slipping away
