Downfall Lyrics by Black Nile

River of Emotions

2022

[Intro]
Yeah
You hear my text, I'm noddin' off
Tryna relax, you not at all
Love is a tax I'm writin' off, yeah
Look at the facts, no right or wrong
All these attractions, write 'em all
No lookin' back, was right along, yeah
[Verse]
Another long night
[? 0:30] alone time
I'll be alright
Woke up at five in the mornin', the news was alarmin'
My armor was broken and we wasn't talkin'
So who could I call up?
I tried reachin' out and you ran even harder
I looked in the mirror and felt like a martyr
You movin' solo, I'm movin' [? 0:44 slaughter]
I seen the new photos and you don't look bothered
Everything good, [? 0:49] no talkin'
When you in my hood, it won't be no problems, I promise
I never lied to your face or was talkin' behind your back, bein' honest
You told 'em and showed you the tricks you was proud of
Shady for way you was goin' about it, I get it though
You said it was crazy, I said it was criminal
You say things, I say things, both sayin' we ain't mean it though (Hold on)
[Refrain]
You hear my text, I'm noddin' off
Tryna relax, you not at all
Love is a tax I'm writin' off, yeah
Look at the facts, no right or wrong
All these attractions, write 'em all
No lookin' back, was right along, yeah
[Chorus]
This ain't what I waited 'round for
If it don't feel the same, then what you 'round for?
Feel like you just waitin' for my downfall
[Post-Chorus]
I was waitin' for you
I was waitin'
But I got too much to lose (Fallin' down)
Downfall, downfall (Fallin' down)
[Outro]
Am I down for you [? 1:56]
Am I down for you [?]
You, you, you, you, you
Am I down [?]
