Lyrics
Story be told
Lyrics by nieve
Verse 1:
With amazement
Always felt the strangest
Feeling when I wasn’t living to be at my greatest
I left it alone
and the days would go on
And I felt so upset
So I’m setting the bar
Much higher
Tired of the way my mind is wired
Why is it I can not acquire what I desire
Or should I say aspire to be
I let the beat drop and follow its lead
You see the fighter in me
Will keep swinging
Like a jazz musician singing
In New Orleans
Evening
See the storm is leaving
I’m sorry if you catch me wheezing
I’m so fresh to death
I’m having problems breathing
I get out of control
But act as if I know
In fact I got no clue
Exactly where to go
But I’m happy on my road
My story’s gonna be told
To my flow
Ain’t no map to unfold
Cuz I’m going to live
Hook:
I’m never going to fall
Said I’m going to live
every moment of this
never going to slip
never gonna fall
never going to slip
never gonna fall
(Never gonna fall)
I’m never going to slip
never gonna fall
Verse 2:
Every minute
Day by day
No different
If it works then don’t fix it
It ain’t broke then don’t tip it
Steadily we go dipping on a fantasy ride
I’m ghost riding my whip
With my chick by my side
With my fingers to the sky
In a sign that says peace
And I reach to provide the advice that you need
Improvise on the beat
And I rhyme til y’all rise on your feet
Til our lives are complete
And go ahead and keep the crown
I ain’t doing this to compete
No I do it for the love
Do you know what that even means
(It means)
The music out my speakers so clean
And it’s not about the sneakers or the thousand dollar jeans
Like a thousand other teens
Don’t know what they gonna be
When they grow
They developing slow
from what they see
I won’t be killed by you video stars
I make videos with words that’s all
Hook:
I’m never going to fall
Said I’m going to live
every moment of this
never going to slip
never gonna fall
never going to slip
never gonna fall
(Never gonna fall)
I’m never going to slip
never gonna fall
Outro:
From the moment that I wake up
It’s all I ever think of
How can I be
Better then ever before
From the moment that I wake up
It’s all I ever think of
How can I be
Better then ever before
From the moment that I wake up
It’s all I ever think of
How can I be
Better then ever before
From the moment that I wake up
It’s all I ever think of
How can I be
Better then ever before
Before
