Never Fallin' Lyrics - Living Legends

down 

never fallin' down down down 

never fallin' down. 

never fallin' down down down 

never fallin' down 

even if i was blindsided by mac trucks 

in the side street in the alley way 

in the foreign city 

i would still make it back home 

On a highway no bulletins no street signs, no other cars, no radio, no satellite 

I still make it back home 

Connected to the universe 

like a string of lights on the holiday 

if one's out doesn't mean the demise of all who roam the stone 

feel the earth y'all the fire water and sky under his home under his clothes under his belt 

its the Orion sense of tones i never regret the waking hours as the birth shot forth on my feet not my fins i am a man to finish it out don't forget gravity laws 

the only thing keeping me from flight 

wings of space 

infinite night 

downward spiral not in sight 

down 

never falling down down down 

never falling down 

great there is no father 

its her and her offspring 

nobodys offering help 

skin aint softening 

axe chopped to the ankles 

her babies coughing 

maybe the check will come today 

the waits exhausting 

she's the pillar so 

she cant be tilted 

give her sons 

the feeling as though 

they got a million to blow 

need no stilts to reach the stars 

teach the kids to reach with their heads 

and they each will be yours 

i give a piece of me for her 

to have a piece of mind 

or a piece of your chicken 

cause its ramen all the time 

she's thin and getting scared 

but she never lets on 

many men will not fall cause their mama's head strong (strong strong strong) 

down 

never fallin down down down 

never fallin down 

pick your feet on up 

why don't you get on up 

lift your spirits up 

damn i know this shit is tough 

i flunked in high school 

my pops he left me young 

i often lost my cool 

days i feel my mama's gun 

i lost my only son 

when my girl she almost died 

a bad abortion haunted by a baby's eyes 

and every reason lies 

cause you know the truth inside 

you're feeling like a coward 

like the wrong person died 

but still you gotta ride 

let the years pass em by 

never really knowing why 

no questions why i'm always high 

down down down 

never falling down 

down down down 

never falling down 

look 

we slipping and sliding 

808 big riding 

servin' rocks 

balling while they conquering and dividing 

teeth glistening shining 

listening to ourselves lying 

believe in a bleedin' ego still trying 

identifying with the why and the whats 

self hatin is the scars and the cuts that 

run deep down 

not giving a fuck 

behind the sweet sound of the new blues 

rattling the truck full of sun roof to new shoes 

chrome 

neglecting the home 

disrespecting the zone 

that Sankofa should of shown us 

looking back before the time that they owned us 

but never really owned a damn thing the spirit 

sounded like 

down 

never falling down down down 

never fallin down 

i'm hella irresponsible 

and possibly the cause 

of the my subsequent downfall 

now I take a pause 

and reflect on my karma 

and laws i've ignored 

all the signs that could cause 

a turn and redirect my preferred 

course of action 

before the curse of my ashes 

the rehabilitation of the baddest on the planet 

will set a mark a milestone of progress 

the life changing tones of my heart 

and soul mean the most 

learning voices be the search 

and exhume all the skeletons 

a room full of demons with an angel as a prisoner 

she's tortured for the visitors 

the listeners who read between the lines 

and stay inquisitive to dissect these sentences 

down 

never falling down down down 

never falling down 

last night i took a field trip 

kind of bent, hopped a fence 

cut across a playground 

and lay down in a cemetery 

reflecting on my past present and current events 

speech slurring out venting to the moon 

or course she was answering me 

not literal 

but in the spiritual sense 

we spoke me myself and i 

but i wasn't alone 

in fact it felt that picture of a beach with footprints 

in the sand 

you know the poem hanging 

in grandmamas home 

where does love come from? 

where does it go when its gone 

what takes its place 

and why does that space turn 

hard as stone 

another year i am older today 

in many ways i've grown 

but in my head 

them questions still they roam 

riding a bike 

she said its like cycling in circles 

with your eyes closed 

no hands blind faith is what she called it man 

said life's an ocean with a lot of commotion 

once you dive, and ya its deep 

but if you could swim it ain't mattering 

down 

never falling down down down 

never falling down 

down down down 

never falling down.
