On the penultimate track on Skydive, Domani is backed by the soulful stylings of the legendary Anthony Hamilton and words of wisdom by the equally esteemed Rapsody.
Together they deliver a message about the relatable situation of feeling hopeless in one’s life, making mistakes on the journey akin t...
[Intro: Domani]
Falling, hopeless
Mama, I wanna be somebody
I'm calling on you, I'm all alone
I need to reach somebody
[Verse 1: Domani]
Mirror on the wall
Who gon' ride till the engines stall?
Hard times and cold-hearted
Was ignorant when I started
They'll sin again and benefit more than the white man brought 'em
While I walk with the Lord and sleep with the preacher's daughter
Look how I was brought up
I was sheltered, never really cared about the dollar
Man these niggas tripping 'bout this little money
I got visions of diffеrent business past tour money
Banking ovеrseas so they'll never see the (?) money
It's fun and games till they start playing with your money
Gave opportunities still niggas want more from me
You wanna leave and switch teams, shut the door for me
Keep the score for me, watch me ball and keep more for me
[Hook: Domani]
I feel I'm falling, feel I'm hopeless
Mama, I wanna be somebody
That's why I'm calling on you, I'm all alone
I need to reach somebody
I'm sorry, acted like I know it all
I don't know a damn thing at all
Like who these strangers in my living room
Mirror mirror mirror on the wall
[Verse 2: Domani]
Mirror on the wall
Who gon' ride till the engines stall?
Hard times and cold-hearted
Was ignorant when I started
They'll sin again and benefit more than the white man brought 'em
While I walk with the Lord and get drunk off the holy water
Where's the heaven for the mislead?
See, where's the reverend while the kids playing?
They point out all our sins but won't admit theirs
I been saying watch them, see even satan was an angel
Even Mary had entanglements, we all sin
We all want the same picket fence and cars yeah
Regardless but don't wanna pay the cost to be the boss here
Rather blame it on the ones who made it out the shark's den
And try to sue their way to the table with subtle lawsuits
I see you clearly
Although I'll never understand that I still love you dearly
I just hope one day you hear me, feel me?
[Bridge: Domani]
That's why I'll never judge a man
One day I'll need a helping hand, to catch me falling
[Hook: Domani]
...Hopeless
Mama, I wanna be somebody
That's why I'm calling on you, I'm all alone
I need to reach somebody
I'm sorry, acted like I know it all
I don't know a damn thing at all
Like who these strangers in my living room
Mirror mirror mirror on the wall
[Bridge: (Anthony Hamilton) & Choir]
Falling, hopeless
Lord, I wanna be somebody
(Oh, need a helping hand)
Falling, hopeless
(Yes I am, Yeaaah I need somebody)
Falling, falling
(This time I need somebody that I can hold unto, cause I'm falling)
Ohh falling, falling (Yh)
(Saayyy Ohh)
[Verse 3: Rapsody]
I know somebodies who feel like nobody
Unless they got some bodies on the gun
When you give power to it, that's a loss
That's why it's shaped like an L son
Why not shine like...
A lotta somebodies sunbathe trynna look like somebody
Church, my faith ain't in the building it's in the work
Those who came through in the clutch without a purse
Don't pay attention to the baggage
Ya pants sagging cause...I know a lotta shit hurt
A lotta niggas falling face first, too headstrong
Skullys couldn't save him, the snowfall...flaky
Inconsistency ain't gonna save these dreams of yours
You either falling in place or falling from grace, the ball's in your court
My point is don't go basketcase for any of this bullshit
In the windy city like Peter Pan reminding us, there's truth in magic
If you believe, it's worth falling for it
Real
