[Verse 1] Coming up beyond belief On this coronary thief More than just the leitmotif More chaotic, no relief I'll describe the way I feel Weeping wounds that never heal Can the savior be for real Or are you just my seventh seal? [Chorus] No hesitation, no delay You come on just like Special K Just like I swallowed half my stash And never ever wanna crash No hesitation, no delay You come on just like Special K Now you're back with dope demand I'm on sinking sand Gravity, no escaping Gravity Gravity, no escaping Not for free I fall down, hit the ground Make a heavy sound Every time you seem to come around [Verse 2] I'll describe the way I feel You're my new Achilles' heel Can the savior be for real Or are you just my seventh seal? [Chorus] No hesitation, no delay You come on just like Special K Just like I swallowed half my stash And never ever wanna crash No hesitation, no delay You come on just like Special K Now you're back with dope demand I'm on sinking sand Gravity, no escaping Gravity Gravity, no escaping Not for free I fall down, hit the ground Make a heavy sound Every time you seem to come around No escaping gravity No escaping gravity No escaping gravity No escaping gravity Gravity Gravity Gravity
