The Fall-off Is Inevitable

Intro 

Em7 
Yeah, uh 
Am7 
How I see it 
D7 
How I see it 
Gmaj7 
Yeah, listen, uh 

 
Em7                      Am7 
I persevered through the worst, my thirst to adhere is a curse 
   D7                     Gmaj7 
My life, I see it in reverse, I first appeared in a hearse 
    Em7                Am7 
The driver steered to the church 
   D7                      Gmaj7 
My grandkids carried the coffin to the altar as they burst into tears from their shirts 
    Em7                      Am7 
The tears rise to the sides of their face and into their eyes, it's piercin' with hurt 
     D7                      Gmaj7 
Fast forward sixty years, I got verse of the year, my purpose is clear, it's to murk 
Em7               Am7 
Whoever dare flirt with death 
    D7                        Gmaj7 
The best alive and what you now hear is the work 
    Em7                      Am7 
The inspiration was rare and in spurts, but when it's there, I'm immersed 
   D7                    Gmaj7 
My experience of bein' a parent, dispersed 
        Em7                   Am7 
Watching my son disappear as I stare at his birth 
       D7                      Gmaj7 
And he returns to the womb, wifey stomach growin' greater in girth 
         Em7                   Am7 
And then declinin' every time we come here, to the nurse 
          D7                      Gmaj7 
With each day that passes, I could feel my career comin' first 
    Em7                    Am7 
Do I? Took the wedding ring off her finger 
       D7                      Gmaj7 
And now I'm single, walking up the aisle backwards to an era of dirt 
Em7                      Am7 
Fallin' clubs tipsy with a bitch, I see clear through her skirt 
    D7                      Gmaj7 
The cameras be snappin', blogs be yappin', so I'm careful, alert 
Em7                      Am7 
Walkin' to my section, whisper right in my ear and we flirt 
   D7                      Gmaj7 
We part ways, I see it from a distance, she stares with a smirk 
Em7                      Am7 
Cheers to the perks with the squad, we live for the search of new hoes 
D7                      Gmaj7 
Lusty, quick to fuck me, unaware of their worth 
   Em7                    Am7 
We leave the club, drive to the show and I swear that it's turnt 
   D7                      Gmaj7 
It all begins with encore cheers from those wearin' my merch 
     Em7                      Am7 
Fast forward through years of rehearsal, losin', winnin' 
     D7                      Gmaj7 
Bank account thinnin', income streams nowhere near as diverse 
           Em7                   Am7 
And though I'm blessed, I see me stressin' from hearin' the chirps 
   D7                      Gmaj7 
Of naysayers who, only days later, I don't care to convert 
   Em7                   Am7 
On cloud nine, now signed to my hero 
    D7                      Gmaj7 
One of the so-called kings of this rap thing that I swear to usurp 
Em7                      Am7 
Decade later, momma cut on the cable 
   D7                      Gmaj7 
My motivation to be greater ends the moment I peer in her purse 
Em7                Am7 
I'm growing shorter, pampers cover my hind quarters 
  D7                      Gmaj7 
I watch my father walk back in my life and it clears up a hurt 
    Em7                   Am7 
I couldn't explain, momma gives me my name 
     D7                      Gmaj7 
Then hands me over to the doctor and I watch as my spirit reverts 
 

Outro 
Em7          Am7          D7                  Gmaj7 
(Na, na, na) Then, I'm no longer here on this Earth 
Em7 Am7 D7 Gmaj7 
(Na, na, na) Mm

(Na, na, na) I'm no longer here on this Earth

(Na, na, na) That's how I see it, mm
