Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know Heaven is a mind state, I been a couple times

Stuck in my ways so I keep on fallin’ down

Keep on fallin’ down

Keep on fallin’ down

I know Heaven is a mind state, I been a couple times

Stuck in my ways so I keep on fallin’ down

Keep on fallin’ down (Yea)

[Verse 2]

Gimme drink

Gimme smoke

Get me high

Let me float

I’m a cloud

Coming down

Put me down

Gentle Now

Gimme drink

Gimme Dope

Bottom line

I can’t cope

If I die

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

[Verse 3]

Gimme drink

Gimme smoke

Get me high

Let me float

I’m a cloud

Coming down

Put me down

Gentle Now

Gimme drink

Gimme Dope

Bottom line

I can’t cope

If I die

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

[Verse 4]

I got some **** that still owe me an apology

I’ma be the bigger man just like I always be

Eventually, but right now that’s hard for me

I’m dreaming violent, I can’t tolerate disloyalty

So I’ma see you when I see you know that day coming

I pray that on that day you slip and say something

I never fantasize bout murder cause I’m still sane

But I can’t seem to fight this urge to make you feel pain

I know that vengeance is the Lord’s and it’s not for me

I know the punishment for you is that you not with me

You placed your value on the bitches that you got with me

And now them bitches ask you daily why you not with me

I had to cut some people off cause they was using me

My heart is big, I wanna give too much and usually

I send the bread and don’t hear back for like two months now

You hit my phone, you need a loan, oh, I’m a crutch now

I had to learn, I never had shit

You never would split, you was hood rich

I couldn’t get a dollar from you, I remember that

It was blurry for a while but now its coming back

[Verse 5]

Time will tell

Who is on my side

(Time will tell just who is on my side)

I mean well

But I can’t stop my pride

(I mean well, but I can’t stop my pride)

[Verse 6]

Gimme drink

Gimme smoke

Get me high

Let me float

I’m a cloud

Coming down

Put me down

Gentle Now

Gimme drink

Gimme Dope

Bottom line

I can’t cope

If I die

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

[Verse 7]

Gimme drink

Gimme smoke

Get me high

Let me float

I’m a cloud

Coming down

Put me down

Gentle Now

Gimme drink

Gimme Dope

Bottom line

I can’t cope

If I die

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

[Verse 8]

Keep on fallin’ down

Keep on fallin’ down

Keep on fallin’ down

I know Heaven is a mind state, I been a couple times

Stuck in my ways so I keep on fallin’ down

Keep on fallin’ down

[Verse 9]

Time will tell

Who is on my side

(Time will tell just who is on my side)

I mean well

But I can’t stop my pride

(I mean well, but I can’t stop my pride)

[Verse 10]

Gimme drink

Gimme smoke

Get me high

Let me float

I’m a cloud

Coming down

Put me down

Gentle Now

If I die

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

[Verse 11]

Let me float

I’m a cloud

Coming down

Put me down

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know
