The Fall
[Intro: The Enlightened]
The story's the same,
But you haven't heard it all,
I'm going insane,
But ain't going towards the fall.

[Verse 1]
Told em imma make it,
They ain't want me to prove it,
If they really knew me they would know saying that I can't do it is only influencing,
Me to do better,
Studied this shit down to the letter,
I ain't worried bout who next,
Only worried bout doing my best,
Dammit,
Even if that means getting shit off my chest,
No stress,
More checks,
Go west,
No more feeling depressed,
I ain't saying what I got, only stating what I want,
Never understood the guys ain't living what they talk,
Man, that's real for ya,
Whatever works, I hope it get a deal for ya,
No, seriously,
And how that fucking works, man it's a mystery,
So listen, see,
Everybody dreams, grande o picante,
I say, if I'll be the one to make it,
Imma do it my way,
Reminiscing walking in the hallways,
I'm the same now,
Don't give a fuck about what y'all say.

[Bridge: The Enlightened]
The story's the same,
But you haven't heard it all,
I'm going insane,
But ain't going towards the fall.

[Bridge 2]
Got the passion of a million rappers wrapped up in one,
Oh no, man I can't do this shit for fun,
Tell you what, man I owe it to the city I'm from,
Got the passion of a million rappers, come and get some.

[Verse 2]
Ready or not,
Must've forgot,
That underneath,
I'm still Samaad,
That's deep, deep,
Deeper than you'll prolly ever notice,
Tryna picture what's ahead of me,
Hoping I don't lose focus,
I been toe to toe with myself for I don't know,
A lotta years,
Lotta tears brought me here,
I guess I had a lotta peers,
But not a lotta ears,
When it all appears,
I hope it's fucking obvious,
That I'm this for way way more than dollar bills,
Bothers me still,
That y'all impressed by fake shit and not by the real,
Well maybe if I was a clone I woulda been got a deal,
They rap about a murder charge but the records showing "not enough kills",
How does it feel,
Your whole life is right in front of you,
The truth just got spilled,
Million dollar ideas coming from my two cents,
In my mind I'm just thinking bout what imma do next.

[Bridge 2]
Got the passion of a million rappers wrapped up in one,
Oh no, man I can't do this shit for fun,
Tell you what, man I owe it to the city I'm from,
Got the passion of a million rappers, come and get some.

[Bridge: The Enlightened]
The story's the same,
But you haven't heard it all,
I'm going insane,
But ain't going towards the fall.

[Verse 3]
Fall,
Damn, the ball been dropped,
Pick right up where I had left it,
Carried straight to the top,
I ain't gonna stop,
They make my heart break when they start,
May not been great from the start,
But the shit I say is straight from the heart,
Can't take it apart,
Maybe that just means that I'm playing it smart,
Had my own fucking fam saying that I need the hype man,
Yeah, right man,
Fuck that shit, I'll be alright man,
I'd rather be myself if imma make it at all,
And if someone suggest a change, hope I don't make it at all,
I'm the, best to do this in oh so long,
They flow so wrong,
Forget about Joe Blows song,
Had a vision just the other night,
Reminiscing summer times,
Oops, ain't got no time for that,
I just cut another tie,
I just cut another tie,
Another rhyme upon me,
Wishing that I had another mind,
Another time to make the shit that I create,
Then I'd be great,
Fuck the game up so much,
And man I hope that it can ovulate,
Conversations bout making it,
Complications with taking it,
Ain't faking it like I made it,
Inviting niggas to hate it,
Saying for goodness gracious,
And this is a waste of patience,
Get so insane with the waiting,
That I'm becoming complacent,
Im back and forth with the pacing,
And facing so many choices,
The focus is getting notice,
They thinking that I'm a novice,
Or novice, man fuck that word,
I'm here putting in all the work.

[Outro: The Enlightened]
The story's the same,
But you haven't heard it all,
I'm going insane,
But ain't going towards the fall.
