if i should fall

by Antwan Fields - Aries

hands locked together in fear
you may keep me, until i sear 
the thrill i once felt, the sword hanging over my head
hold me, and fade away, and lie dead
i ask for mercy, finding none
my life ending fast, my job about done
its your name in my sleep that i call
i wonder what would happen if i should fall
and i weep, asking where did i go wrong
was it when my friend loaded up his first bong
or when i kissed another for the first
it could be worse 
and when i began to walk
sell my services like David Falk
it was there that wrong became right
for ive always loved to go out at night
i hate to lie and say i love you
for it has always been to another that i was true
 and as i lied and cheated and spun my tales 
and ran around town like the prince of wales
i can't say that there's anything i regret
and then i began to be cement set
in my ways 
as long the days
and simon says
crime pays
can you hold this for a sec?
and i will be me at lane tech
it wasn't my fault, at all, at all
and at that last step, i think:
i hold the key, but its now pink
and i shall now fall
