Falling - Akua Naru

Uh, you used to love, put me under spell

Head over head, board over heels, huh, mad real

Bragged about you like Chanté when she had a man

Stretch me in positions, had me feelin' like a rubber band

Sound waves shut down the ceilin' fan

Let me peel my petals back, it exposed who I am, damn

Any instant fell victim to a higher plan

Lifted off the ashes, vivid thoughts and patterns

Rare, lost, out of orbit, stumble

Fall up in the upcourt

God paintin' a portrait of us holdin' hands

Profound thought for mortal man

Before Polaroid or Instagram

I prayed that y’all had a

Used to touch and make me rain over Lovers' Rock

Public path, wouldn’t stop and care for the lovers' watch

Under covers, explored my dark

I won the war of your heart

Call me the black Joan of Arc

back arch, throwin' darts

Used to throw it back till you called the cops

You used to love me

(Oh, I’m fallin') Uh, in love for you

(Oh, I’m fallin')

(Used to love me) Fallin' (Yeah)

(You used to love me)

(You said you loved me) (Yeah) Falling, uh

(Said I’m falling) Uh

(Catch me) (Yeah)

Uh, I used to daydream of wedding bells

Wanted you and no one else

Lost in your happy, high as hell

Used to pray we hit the numbers and be livin' well

Now you play shit and reduce me to my lowest self

Releasin' stress via Duracell

Why you sleepin' on the sofa ready to your mail?

Used to jump to make love in the afternoon

Now I got a attitude, try to keep the conversation casual

Uh, ask me the time, swear to God I lose my mind

Start breakin' them shit from '89, plus I pantomime, uh

See me outside, house cold, in slippers, livid

Callin' you all types of niggas, pray nobody upload

A picture, 'nother lovers' feud, of course I’m blamin' you

Was your empress, baby, boo, now I’m female dogs and guarded too

So that fake sister with that whack shit

Imagine myself with that other dude

Brother intense, better cock, better politics

A bigger dictionary on that bookshelf you can’t fuck with, uh

A damn shame, and peep how time changed

Used to claim it was made to make this love thing famous

Now we crazy deranged and, Lord, no home trainin'

War with more adrenaline than Power Rangers

Yes, I at another time

Writin' yet another rhyme, competin' with Neruda for the saddest line

You used to love me

We used to

You used to love me

Huh, in and out of love, fallin'

(I'm fallin') (Yeah)

(You use to love me)

(Catch me)

(You used to love me) (Oh I’m, fallin')

(Oh I’m, fallin')

(Love me)

(Oh I’m, fallin') (Said I’m fallin', fallin', fallin' oh)

You used to love me

(Oh I’m, fallin', oh I’m, fallin')

(Oh I’m, fallin')
