Fall

[Chorus]
Sitting on top of the world
Here comes wind that starts to whirl
Throwing you off from your classy throne
This happens to all when we're grown
So now that you've lost your crown
You're going down and now you are
Falling!

[Verse 1]
Back in the day balling out of control
Hear my shoes everywhere, see their soul?
My sneakers are speakers as well as teachers
Praising my word on the curb just like preachers
Building my self upwards monumental towers
Staying only in the penthouse: that is power
You cower from the gold that I hold
The story untold so I unfold from the mold
Creating and inflating my world's economy
Shaping up knowledge like a college degree
Ready to drop it to the earth, let it fall
The citizens stall and they shout up and call
The information of the existing foundations
Start to deteriorate their own continuation
Top of my empire. Can't go any higher.
Why not jump? I'll just get flyer.

[Chorus]
Sitting on top of the world
Here comes wind that starts to whirl
Throwing you off from your classy throne
This happens to all when we're grown
So now that you've lost your crown
You're going down and now you are
Falling!

[Verse 2]
You hear it too many times before
The rich and famous fall to poor
So I handle it in my place saving face
Instead of dropping, I fall from grace
I don't fall like the walls of great castles
Why cause an effort? Just too much hassle
Enjoy how the view is before you get clueless
If you try to stay up just know the birds are ruthless
Leave you toothless and take everything away
Destroy your hay day and everything you made
Once you hit the ground, the bottom of the chain
You can climb up and try to rise to fame
But it's inevitable. You will one day descend
Don't try to make believe or try to pretend
I'm not trying to fight the air currents
I'll fall with it. In fact, I prefer it!

[Chorus]
Sitting on top of the world
Here comes wind that starts to whirl
Throwing you off from your classy throne
This happens to all when we're grown
So now that you've lost your crown
You're going down and now you are
Falling!

[Verse 3]
Then I catch my second wind on the gentle breeze
On the mental ease I make instrumentals plead
I start to bleed and sweat and cry like the sky
My pain and their rain is just all the same
Fall like feathers from an eagle's wing
I fall like a note dropping octaves to sing
It's going down like the degrees when it hits freeze
When leaves fall down from their trees to our knees
It's a full cycle. I now rise like yeast
I'm the beast that will stampede the east
I get a third, a fourth and even a fifth wind
All the way to my forty-seventh if I didn't win
I'm flying effortlessly on a paper airplane
As I gain I see their disdain
I'm fighting giants that are 10 stories tall
The bigger they are, the harder they fall

[Chorus]
Sitting on top of the world
Here comes wind that starts to whirl
Throwing you off from your classy throne
This happens to all when we're grown
So now that you've lost your crown
You're going down and now you are
Falling!
Seems like I'm Falling.
Falling!
Seems like I'm Falling.
Falling!
Seems like I'm Falling.
Falling!
Seems like I'm Falling.
Falling!
Seems like I'm Falling.
Falling!
Seems like I'm Falling.
Falling!
Seems like I'm Falling.
Falling!
Seems like I'm...
