Fall Thru - Maino, Kevin Gates, Money

I had my back against the wall

Been on my knuckles, had a lot and lost it all

Friends I used to know no longer speakin' anymore

They don’t know me anymore

They’re sayin' pray but don’t we all

Unanswered prayers make you feel like God is not accepting calls

And I just wanna ball (I just wanna ball)

Wishin' somethin’d fall through

Shots ringin', got the children duckin' under covers

The oldest one preparin' supper for the youngest of them

Oatmeal, hot dog weenies, and sugar bread

Father turned himself in, sorta feel like he should’ve fled

Mother fumblin' with a hand full of tricks

Asking God for a hand with the rent

Being fondled in the club when she strip

Tears got mascara runnin' down her lips

Save up enough, take the kids to the hills, but customers wanna see her do a

split

How bad can it get?

Subjected to desperate measures just to get ahead

If all else fails, prevail, get the bread

I had my back against the wall

Been on my knuckles, had a lot and lost it all

Friends I used to know no longer speakin' anymore

They don’t know me anymore

They’re sayin' pray but don’t we all

Unanswered prayers make you feel like God is not accepting calls

And I just wanna ball (I just wanna ball)

Wishin' somethin’d fall through

Wishin' somethin’d fall though

Bills due

Kids playin', momma prayin' and she’s crying in her room

Need some help, send it soon

Oldest boy, cutting school

As she sniff another bag, it’ll help escape her doom

Father gone, he been on

Same route that he’s been smokin'

That’s a knockin' at the door, don’t let him in. he ain’t focused

Streets calling, getting critical

Her son got a pistol too

On the kitchen table finding evidence of residue

Crack, man, them kids sellin'

Turnin' them to young felons

Mommy yellin', cryin' up to God, help me, dear heaven

Wishing she could do it over, asking for another chance

See her babies growing colder, life is getting out of hand

I had my back against the wall

Been on my knuckles, had a lot and lost it all

Friends I used to know no longer speakin' anymore

They don’t know me anymore

They’re sayin' pray but don’t we all

Unanswered prayers make you feel like God is not accepting calls

And I just wanna ball (I just wanna ball)

Wishin' somethin’d fall through

Life’s what you make it

You want it?

Take it

Can’t be a gangster then you sign statements

Rather take care of my kids than be famous

Momma left with choices, a lot of invoices

Either feed the kids, or you feed your habit

Damn shame, she always go and feed her habit

Wanna smoke 'till she eat, let me preach

Don’t go home for weeks, don’t let me preach

Man there’s realness in the ghetto

My people get gas as soon as they hit the pedal

Meek ain’t never lied, a life is really levels

See why L.A. niggas take, pebbles

I had my back against the wall

Been on my knuckles, had a lot and lost it all

Friends I used to know no longer speakin' anymore

They don’t know me anymore

They’re sayin' pray but don’t we all

Unanswered prayers make you feel like God is not accepting calls

And I just wanna ball (I just wanna ball)

Wishin' somethin’d fall through
