The Fall
xxxtentacion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fool's gold is a common man's trash
I've seen God, I've seen devils, I've seen many men
Mothers, children, fathers
I've seen The Fall
Fuck the naysayers, the conformants

Black Benz, and the
Black friends, when the
Nigga feelin' so killer could put a kids in a
Chokehold, them living with no soul
A pity, how niggas pity me, kitty with no goals
I jump, fall, neck snaps, I slip not
I told 'em cold in the weather so we can get-got
M5, two of them, we fucked in
And I remember December when you was tucked in place
Is the place, man it's cold
And they chose this place so you could never fall
So beware because the fall is all we know
An empty corpse around parading in the snow
Fuck

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Yea, yeah
Aye, yea

This is it
Yea, this is all we know, this is all we know

Yea, yea, yea

@Yukiruu

I'm surprised this song hasn't blown up. This is a great example of his pretty fucking underrated shit that's SUPER GOOD
( ice hotel & king of the dead is really gr8 but those blew up)

Let's agree that the versatility and the overall message in his music are great.
He could make some pretty bad decisions but meh that doesn't define him as a whole in my opinion. He's been through a lot so I'd give him a pass on that. Overall a really caring person. (my info is based on the live recordings he would do with his SMALLER FAN BASE BACK IN 2015)

I'm sorta glad the normies found him.
I'm happy for his success but shit like this needs more attention.
I guess you can say.... HE GAINED A LOT OF XXXATTENTION

haha.. I'm not funny okay bye here's my opinion. Thank you for reading! :)

This is where the real X fans reside. Deeper than the most popular songs.
