Fall
The Sun Sawed in 1/2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been through some shit and I stood tall though it was kinda hard.
And my lil bro had wrote his whole album on a county wall.
I did so much soon as I say no it won't count at all.
Shit picture perfect I can't never say that's me at all.
Them cops come asking I can't tell em what I seen or saw.
I had a bag and then I fumbled it, can't believe it nah.
I had a bag and then I fumbled it, can't believe it wow.
And now I'm back up done got my racks up, leave the hoe in my past.
And I aint tripping on no nigga, no most of em ain't in my class.
I said most of em ain't in my class.
See ones I love they show they true colors now I keep my distance.
Woulda thought this Glock done came from the office, it got an extension.
Jump in the booth spit feelings so it ain't, gotta be written.
Say she wanted my heart put up sign up, cause that shit been missing.
Free my dawg he had kept it solid now he almost finished.
Just got off the phone with Lil Kese he almost done with that sentence.
Nowadays these hoes spiteful they'll do the most to wreck yo image.
Both knee deep in that water, only one learned how to swim in it.
When you been on top so long its like you bound to fall.
Been through some shit and I stood tall though it was kinda hard.
And my lil bro had wrote his whole album on a county wall.
I did so much soon as I say no it won't count at all.
Shit picture perfect I can't never say that's me at all.
Them cops come asking I can't tell em what I seen or saw.
I had a bag and then I fumbled it, can't believe it nah.
I had a bag and then I fumbled it, can't believe it wow.
