Akua Naru - Falling Lyrics

[Intro: Akua Naru]
Y'all remember that scene in Love Jones? Remember when, uh, Darius confronts Savon at the party? *Laughs* I’m paraphrasing, really—please forgive me, but—Savon says something to the extent of—um, yeah, he was like, uh, you know—"Y'all runnin' around, talking about hoppin’ and fallin' in love. But somebody, please, tell me how to stay there." Mm. I really feel that, y'all, I—I feel that. For real

[Verse 1: Akua Naru]
Uh, you used to love me, put me under spell
Head over headboard over heels, huh, mad real
Bragged about you like Chanté when she had a man
Stretch me in positions, had me feelin' like a rubber band
Soundwaves shut down the ceilin' fan
Let me peel my petals back, it exposed who I am, damn
In an instant fell victim to a higher plan
Lifted off the astral skin, vivid thoughts and patterns ran lost
Out of orbit, stumble, fall up in a trance, woke up
Caught God paintin' a portrait of us holdin' hands
Profound thought for mortal man
Before Polaroid or Instagram
I prayed that y'all had a goal to overstand
Used to touch and make me rain over Lovers’ Rock
Public parks, wouldn’t stop and care for the lovers' watch
Under covers, explored my dark with countless tales of
How I won the war of your heart, call me the black Joan of Arc, zonin’
Back arched, throwin' darts, used to throw it back till you called the cops
You used to love me

[Chorus]
(Oh, I'm fallin') Uh, had a lot of love for me
(Oh, I’m fallin')
(Used to love me) Fallin' (Yeah)
(You used to love me)
(You said you loved me) (Yeah) Falling, uh
(Said I'm falling) Uh
(Catch me) (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Akua Naru]
Uh, I used to daydream of wedding bells, wanted you and no one else
Lost in your falsetto, had me high as hell
Used to pray we hit the numbers and be livin' well
Now you play mathematician and reduce me to my lowest self
Releasin' stress via Duracell, while you sleepin' on the sofa ready to reroute your mail
Used to jump to make love in the afternoon, now I got a attitude, try to keep the conversation casual
Uh, ask me the time, swear to God I lose my mind, start breakin' them shit from '89, plus I pantomime, uh
See me outside, house cold, in slippers, livid, sallin' you all types of niggas, pray nobody upload
A picture, 'nother lovers' feud, of course I'm blamin' you
Was your empress, baby, boo, now I'm female dogs and garden tools
Or that fake [?] sister with that whack shit on YouTube too now
Imagine myself with that other dude
Brother intense, better car, better politics
A bigger dictionary on that bookshelf you can't fuck with, uh
A damn shame, and peep how time changed
Used to claim we was made to make this love thing famous
Now we crazy deranged and, Lord, no home trainin'
War with more adrenaline than Power Rangers
Yes, I let you hurt me at another time
Writin' yet another rhyme, competin' with Neruda for the saddest line

[Outro]
You used to love me
We used to
You used to love me
Huh, in and out of love, fallin'
(I'm fallin') (Yeah)
(You use to love me)
(Catch me)
(You used to love me) (Oh I'm, fallin')
(Oh I'm, fallin')
(Love me)
(Oh I'm, fallin') (Said I'm fallin', fallin', fallin' oh)
You used to love me
(Oh I'm, fallin', oh I'm, fallin')
(Oh I'm, fallin')
