32 Falls

Had to take 32 falls, never small, felt them all but I kept my eyes, see I'm conscious Sit in halls, and the walls start to talk, tell em all, I will never stop, I gotta love the process But I'm all beat, off beat, try to hop 3 feet to forget, that she's 4'10, but she walks around like a tall 10 Add a scent then how could I pretend that I wouldn't spend a quarter of my mind wishing I could be her top man Burn it down, sing the song like I'm Rollins Burn me out, so you couldn't see me barge in Too cold, I don't want to rock a stocking Oh no, I don't want to hear the jargon Tell me straight up, don't go digging in compartments Take my trees, cause I'm cleaning up my garden I remember when I first started boxing I was writing in my notebook often Then I threw a couple right hooks, watching How I had to get right look, reflecting Back then I was feeling a little desperate 07, started learning to address it 08, started learning to expect it 09, started learning to collect it 20 10, was too stubborn to reject it 20 1 1, I thought I had a bad bitch 20 12, found out she was a mirage 20 1 3, I moved to Indianapolis 20 1 4, I found it was hard 20 1 5, I started seeing previews 20 1 6, everyone was see-through 20 1 7, broke into a heaven 20 1 8, I started thinking, wait 20 1 9, I had to make a case That by 20 20, I could make a plate I hit 21, and now I have a face 22, now I gotta keep the pace With my heart fallen right below the waist Made a play that could represent my fate But now I'm driven, I could wreck another lane And I've done it, repetition in my veins So I'm up and I'll never take the backseat Still in pain but I'll always be an athlete On a run in which you could never catch me Kick it with you but I'm trying to get the goal No omission in the chapters that I told No permission for the actors that I scold Reminiscing bout what happened to the old But now I'm winning with the factors that were thrown I feel like I've now lived half my life So you don't gotta ask me twice what I think I'mma say it and stand on it That's my word, and that still means a lot
