Falling Down
Set for the Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've lost my head a thousand times
And every step is a stumble
And I've got nothing left inside this heartless chest
I've lost it all to this world
Cus I'm falling down
And it feels like the weight is crushing me
And I'm calling out
Is there anybody out there to hear me?
I Changed my life just to live in the light
And I still have all my struggles
Well it's a dangerous fight when ur alone at night
Surrounded by these troubles
Cus I'm falling down
And it feels like the weight is crushing me
And I'm calling out
Is there anybody out there to hear me?
These struggles
These troubles
These struggles
These troubles
Cus I'm falling down
And it feels like the weight is crushing me




And I'm calling out
Is there anybody out there to hear me?

Jay z - the blueprint

Common - Be

Pusha T - Daytona

Watching his documentary really is a eye opener, seeing him believe so much in himself when others doubted him is truly inspiring.
