Текст песни J. Cole - The Fall-Off Is Inevitable

[Intro]
Yeah
Uh
How I see it
How I see it
Yeah
Listen, uh

[Verse]
I persevered through the worst
My thirst to adhere is a curse, my life, I see it in reverse
I first appeared in a hearse
The driver steer to the church
My grandkids carry the coffin to the altar as they burst into tears from their shirts
The tears rise to the sides of their face and into their eyes, it's piercin' with hurt
Fast forward sixty years, I got verse of the yеar, my purpose is clear, it's to murk
Whoevеr dare flirt with death
The best alive and what you now hear is the work
The inspiration was rare and in spurts, but when it's there, I'm immersed
My experience of bein' a parent dispersed
Watching my son disappear as I stare at his birth
And he returns to the womb, wifey stomach growin' greater in girth
And then declinin' every time we come here to the nurse
With each day that passes, I could feel my career comin' first
Do I, took the wedding ring off her finger and now I'm single
Walkin' up the aisle backwards to an era of dirt
Fall in clubs, tipsy with a bitch, I see clear through her skirt
The cameras be snappin', blogs be yappin', so I'm careful, alert
Walkin' to my section, whisper right in my ear and we flirt
We part ways, I see her from a distance, she stares with a smirk
Cheers to the perks with the squad, we live for the search of new hoes
Lusty, quick to fuck me, unaware of their worth
We leave the club, drive to the show and I swear that it's turnt
It all begins with encore cheers from those wearin' my merch
Fast forward through years of rehearsal, losin', winnin'
Bank account thinnin', income streams nowhere near as diverse
And though I'm blessed, I see me stressin' from hearin' the chirps
Of naysayers, who only days later, I don't care to convert
On cloud nine, now signed to my hero
One of the so-called kings of this rap thing that I swear to usurp
Decade later, mama cut on the cable
My motivation to be greater ends the moment I peer in her purse
I'm growin' shorter, Pampers cover my hind quarters
I watch my father walk back in my life and it clears up a hurt
I couldn't explain, mama gives me my name
Then hands me over to the doctor and I watch as my spirit reverts
(Na, na, na) Then I'm no longer here on this Earth
(Na, na, na) Mm
(Na, na, na) I'm no longer here on this Earth
(Na, na, na) That's how I see it

[Outro]
I'ma c— I'ma, I'ma come in
