Till We Fall - Rafael Cerato

I'm covering Joni and I'm dancing with Joan Stevie is calling on the telephone Court almost burned down my home But God, it feels good not to be alone But sometimes, this ranch feels like my only friend And life doesn't always work out like we planned We keep it movin', babe So we made it back in the middle of the night To the Louisiana two-step high and bright And we won't say when, we won't ask why We won't stop dancing 'til we die We'll keep walkin' on the sunny side And we won't stop dancing 'til we die Troubled by my circumstance Burdened by the weight of fame Clementine's not just a fruit It's my daughter's chosen name And when all the bars close down tonight There's one that stays open just for us, alright We keep dancin', babe So we made it back in the middle of the night (we keep dancin', babe) To the Louisiana two-step high and bright (we keep it movin', babe) And we won't say when, we won't ask why We won't stop dancing 'til we die We'll keep walkin' on the sunny side And we won't stop dancing 'til we die I went down to Woodside I left Berkley, out of city, out of mind Killin' it, talkin' shit, Joan said she was gonna quit Tearin' it up at the Afro-Caribbean two-step I left San Francisco I've been coverin' Joni and I'm dancin' with Joan It's kinda hard to find love When you're used to rollin' like a rollin' stone, yeah So we made it back in the middle of the night (we keep it movin', babe) To the Louisiana two-step high and bright (we keep it dancin', babe) And we won't say when, we won't ask why We won't stop dancing 'til we die We'll keep walkin' on the sunny side And we won't stop dancing 'til we die And we won't stop dancing 'til we die

It's the type of shit they read about Like Chris said, I gotta bleed it out I've been in the zone, I can't be without This real shit that I be about I'm a visionary, that's long term But Def Jam, said they need it out If I rush this shit, I might be without But I need a vision, can't see without I've been patient, never complacent Left the underground when I left the basement That's renovation, I spit this verse like a revelation On the road with Kid Cudi and BIG Conversations with No I.D. Who made hits with Ye, got hits with Jay Now he wanna fuck around and make hits with me If it's meant to be, then it's meant to be Can't express what that meant to me, what it mean to me Man, I swear the shit like a dream to me, what it seemed to be It's so different now, everything is so different now I've been there and I've done that Tell 'em all that I run that, that's a fun fact And I'm back again 'cause I love this shit Write it down and they publish it I went five years without a publicist 'Cause the word of mouth, they in love with this I've been dreaming, I've been scheming Went away a while but I've been fiending I've missed the fam, but they know the deal Been that way before the deal Now the music got mass appeal My main girl got ass appeal Like I feel the vibe, that's the main thing Little fish, that went mainstream Now I'm big as fuck My whole city, they know what's up I'm unseen and I'm in the cut about extra shit I don't give a fuck When I'm on the phone, don't interrupt When I'm talking business, I might erupt If you're at the show, put your lighter up Fuck with me if you're really 'bout it Outsiders, I could do without it I crept in, got slept on Sold out shows, no one knew about it When it comes to fucks, I give two about it Your cosign, I could do without it Okay, last verse I gotta make it count Won't speak on my bank account So many commas, I'd have to pause And I can't afford to just waste the bars Every day, boy I thank to Lord I got a lot of problems but could have more Wish I spoke to my dad more, my jeweler less I've been hungry like Budapest, tell me, who the best? Don't give a fuck, I just know I'm blessed Love life even though I'm stressed This business boy, I swear a test Tell Def Jam if they don't cut the check I'll send Chris to go cut their neck I love the building, no disrespect But y'all better ride when I'm in effect That's radio, that's TV but visionary got the internet If y'all fuck around or try to throw the ball To another artist, I'ma intercept It's my time, put half a mill of my own money in this album That's my dime No rap features, just my rhymes My story, it's all mine From the basement to the stadium From the Roxy to Palladium I've been there and I've done that, yes, I run that With this pretty girl on my floor, half naked playing Connect Four But I've been trying to throw sex out the window just to connect more She's so fine Type of girl I wanna fuck her mind And then unwind with some slow head All my homies like "Go ahead" Anyway, it's been a long time And this here has been a long rhyme So I gotta go, it's Logic The one nobody would vouch for How's that shit for an outro? This is my story, 'til the end This is my story, 'til the end (Every day that they live and breathe is extended to them) (They may be misinformed about the truth) (They may be misguided) (Somebody has led them on the wrong path) (A path of corruption and destruction) (But yet God's mercy every day that they live is extended to them) (And they have another opportunity to be saved) This concludes the Under Pressure program

A coffee stain on a window sill A bad translation to a foreign film Just wandering 'round with you, you know Just wandering town with you Oh-oh-oh-oh Would be enough The tiny cracks on the city stone A welcome back to your troubled home Just wandering 'round with you Just wandering town with you, you now Oh-oh-oh-oh Would be enough But, ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I didn't see the sea until I crossed Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I didn't feel your love until I lost The moving shadows on your swaying light Or you picture notes of your porcupines Just wandering round with you, you know Just wandering town with you Oh-oh-oh-oh Would be enough But, ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I didn't see the sea until I crossed Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I didn't feel your love until I lost Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, I didn't see the sea until I crossed Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I didn't feel your love until I lost Oh-oh-oh

It's getting late Why you gotta be beside me? Watching, needing, wanting me? I'm afraid, don't be I'm afraid, don't be I'm afraid, don't be I'm afraid, don't be I'm afraid Don't be, don't... Lila I know it's getting late, and I'm struggling to let go Although there's distance between us, there's no place I'd rather be I owe you some hospitality, and it comes so naturally Promise, I just need some more time If you can bear with me When last did we feel this close together? Chasing sunsets in California Don't make me wait, babe, it's been forever Don't take forever It's been forever Don't take forever It's been forever Trust me, I'm starting to realize And look beyond my fears Sun keeps on turning to twilight Baby, we don't have long I can't keep my hands off you All night, all my love You say it's getting too late Baby, don't be afraid When last did we feel this close together? Chasing sunsets in California Don't make me wait, babe, it's been forever Don't take forever It's been forever Don't take forever It's been forever Giddy up, girl, best I can do Go follow where the wind blows, mmm Sometimes, we all feel hollow My heart, girl, you can borrow, mmm Please don't make this all about you Please don't make this all about you Please don't make this all about you Please don't make this all about you
