Don't Let Me Fall Lyrics


Well, it was just a dream, just a moment ago
I was up so high, lookin' down at the sky
Don't let me fall
I was shooting for stars on a Saturday night
They say what goes up must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall
They say what goes up must come down
But don't let me fall, don't let me fall
'Cause I'm gliding up there oh, so very high
That if the, clouds were to drop me then I'd fall out the sky
I don't really know why I'm here, I guess I'm just here for the ride
I swear it feels like I'm dreaming, it's vividly defined, yeah
So call me whatever you want
Tie me to whatever you like
But let's get one thing straight
You know my name, so I run this town
When I'm on this mic, yeah

So here I go B.o.B, Bobby Ray, I don't know, need I know
But I know, that I flow, rack 'em up knock 'em down, dominos
Then I go as my story goes, I know done been down here before
Product of my East Decatur home
'Cause I was in the cold tryna keep my toes unfroze
Now I'm in your house, now I'm in your stove
Now I'm everywhere that your iPod go
Everything I seen was a dream just a moment ago
But it was just a dream just a moment ago
I was up so high, lookin' down at the sky
Don't let me fall
I was shooting for stars on a Saturday night
They say what goes up must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall
They say what goes up must come down
But don't let me fall, don't let me fall
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall
They say what goes up must come down
But don't let me fall, don't let me fall
Yeah, by far much lower than where that pavement is
'Cause there ain't no parachute that they can make for this
'Cause I put my pain, my heart, my soul, my faith in this
Does anyone feel like how I feel? Then you can relate to this
Just blaze of this, maybe roll one up then take a hit
Toast to the good life then take a sip
Vaca everyday, yeah, take a trip
It's easy to see I was made for this
From the womb all the way to grave I spit
Just to show ya'll niggas what greatness is
Yeah, I'm talking very loosely, like making movies
To picture my life, boy, you need a higher resolution
I used to cut class in the day then runaway at night
But now I'm ruler of the upper class and I don't even write
It was just a dream, just a moment ago
I was up so high, lookin' down at the sky
Don't let me fall
I was shooting for stars on a Saturday night
They say what goes up must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall
They say what goes up must come down
But don't let me fall, don't let me fall
Fall, fall, fall

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Born and raised in the Motor City , Haddon was another gospel child prodigy, both as minister and musician. He gave his first sermon at the church of his father, Bishop Clarence Haddon, at age 11, and was directing the choir by age 13.

Haddon began his recording career in the mid 90s with the Voices of Unity on the small Tyscot label. As the group leader for their three albums, Haddon expressed his forward looking musical view, merging elements of soul, hip-hop and funk in the group's Gospel music. VOU had some mild success on the Gospel charts, but by the late 90s Haddon was ready to move more clearly front and center as a solo artist. His first two solo albums, This is My Story and Chainbreaker continued his artistic development and made some moderate noise on the Gospel charts.

However, I’m not sure that even the devoted fan base he had been accumulating could have anticipated his late 2002 release, Lost and Found, his first on giant Gospel label Verity. A project as ambitious as Tonex’s noted debut, Pronounced Toe-Nay, Lost and Found is an exhaustive, inspired opus by a Gospel artist who, with its release, clearly declared himself a new Gospel star.

The disc begins sounding like a dance Gospel album, leading off with two funky numbers, “D.D.” and “Oh Yeah” (the latter featuring the ubiquitous Fred Hammond). From there it covers broad territory, including bluesy, southern soul (“Ain’t Got Nothing” and the radio hit, “Sinner’s Prayer”), Praise & Worship (“Worship Medley”), Prince-style electric soul (“It’s Me”), big ballads (“Stand Still”) and joyous calypso (“The Praises Go (Up, Up, Up)”). Haddon is literally bursting with musical ideas on the album and, amazingly, virtually all work. Equally impressive is the strong lyrical content of the disc – much of it autobiographical -- focusing principally on the power of redemption and the ability of faith to rescue lost or miscast souls.

It took me almost two months to review Lost and Found, mostly because it took so long to fully absorb such an ambitious project. Now I can clearly say that this stands, with Mary Mary’s “Thankful” and Tonex’s “O2,” as perhaps the definitive modern Gospel album of this decade, and is a must for both Soul and Gospel lovers.
