Falling Down Lyrics

(Static’s Verse)

Yo if you need a hand homie, let me be your guide

I’ll take you back to when we use to rehearse and practice each other’s rhymes

You gotta keep that energy alive

Cause it seems like nowadays you lack a necessary drive

You’re too young to look back on your memories and thrive

You got your whole life ahead of you, your destiny resides

Wherever you desire, so progress and always strive

Cause there’s way more to life then a temporary high

And back in Junior High, we were enemies, then split

Over some dumb shit, then we made a new friendship

But nowadays you acting distant with resentment

You ain’t even the same kid that I became friends with

Cause we were in this, from the start at the heart of it

So you ain’t even holding up your part of the bargain then

I see the things you seek, so I question your intentions

I see you looking weak, so I question your dependence

Now I would never question your faith and your loyalty

But I would question your mind state and your normalcy

I question your humility it shows

I question your stress and ability to cope

I question your quest and ability to grow

And your pens at your desk and then if you even wrote

So if you ain’t gonna try, then what’s the point of pencil

If you ain’t willing to apply, then what’s the point of potential?

And stop acting like everyone is against you

Cause in reality we’re right here to defend you

But you treat the ones who care dismissive and snobby

Cause your too damn stubborn and never listen to anybody

Cause we’re just tryna understand what you’ve dealt with

That you deny you needed help with, cause you’re selfish

And I’m just curious, after all the bad habits

And carrying all that baggage, what the fuck you think was gonna happen?

That you’d get high and be able to focus

Everything would just be fine and nobody would notice

But I can see your struggling and suffering is major

Cause your only displaying dysfunctional behavior

I mean what I say, especially if I wrote it

So I ain’t gonna downplay it, I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it

Just think of all the pain you just put your mother through

Just think of the example that you set for your brother Zoo

And think of all your friends that just need you to be Zach

And I know that its true cause I speak on their behalf

But its different now, nobody can trust you

Cause you became a different person after your drug use

Pursue who you are and nobody can judge you

Just know that we’re here, that we care, and we love you

Pursue who you are and nobody can judge you

Just know that we’re here, that we care, and we love you

One Love Zoo

(Zoo’s Verse)

And on a rainy day like today it’s easy to feel down

Just remember some of your boys are stuck in your hometown

Feeling tied down to the game, still pushing pounds

While we’re at some bar in some city buying strangers rounds

It doesn’t matter if the ball’s already out of bounds

Go and get it, make sure you bring it back around

Sometimes all it takes is one more rotation

Before you realize you got some dormant motivation

And by dormant, I mean sleeping for the moment

It’s fighting to wake up while you keep yourself in a coma

And if I said it I meant it and then I probably wrote it

Proceeded to fill it up and then roll it and smoke it

And I stare at straight faces while they ask me what the joke is

I stare back with blood shot eyes and an open mouth

And I think about all the cities that I’ve lived in while I’m sitting on my mom’s couch

And lately I haven’t been writing enough

Life’s been rough and fighting’s a must

Over the edge and under the cusp

Shake off the rust, take off the cuffs

Saddle up even if you’ve been bucked

Paddle tough if your canoe seems stuck

I realize it’s pointless in life to just chase luck

Ain’t rockin’ chucks from Cleveland, but it’s time to ‘Lace Up’

Maybe speed the pace up, read the great stuff

From scrolls to pages, maybe even a blog

Put more smoke in the air then the L.A. smog

You don’t have to tell me or help, I know the way that I’ve been living is wrong

In the past it tends to take me away, but tonight it’s given me this song

Another late night, I’m home alone ever so often

I’m looking for a man, but I’m afraid that I’ve lost him

I keep hanging up flyers, “Missing” across the top

Hoping that someday soon these nightmares might stop

And if they don’t, I’ll close my eyes and keep dreamin’

Like a wise man once said if you can’t join them, then beat them

So I step back, plan my attack

Empty a bottle of Jack and then throw up all my guts on the track

Yeah they say no guts, no glory

And if you don’t have the scars then you don’t have the story

The phone rings right away, I know who it is

She says “look at the sky, look how blue it is”

Yeah I know, I’ve seen it before

She whispers “no look closer, I promise you will see more”

So I did, I sat back and gazed into the skies

It took me a while, suddenly I saw the God

He had the face of the missing man on the flyers

The one I admired, I took another hit and got higher

He looked lost in paradise without even knowing

Filled with emotions that he wasn’t capable of showing

He stumbled with a prescription pad in his hand

Writing down the tribulations that made him a man

He wrote words like passion and balance, hard work and talent

And of course how to be valiant

Every second I watched, I could still hear her

With every word she spoke the picture became clearer

To the point in which I realized I was starring in the mirror
