[Chorus]
Sooner or later, it all comes crashing down (Crashing down)
Crashing down (Crashing down)
When everyone's around, I bet
You would've paid up all your cash down (Your cash down)
To not make a sound (To make a sound)
But everyone knows now

[Verse 1]
(So you're sad) about the moment, you lost your love (Damn)
You couldn't see her leaving (You were gassed)
And that's sucks don't it, cause God yanked the rug (Damn)
And holding your heart, will not help you breathe

[Chorus]
Sooner or later, it all comes crashing down (Crashing down)
Crashing down (Crashing down)
When everyone's around, I bet
You would've paid up all your cash down (Your cash down)
To not make a sound (To make a sound)
But everyone knows now

[Bridge]
It all comes crashing
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it

[Verse 2]
(So you're sad) and you should own it, and you fucked up (Damn)
You thought that you were the team (You were gassed)
And now your opponent who wears your gloves (Damn)
A nightmare just ate up your dreams

[Chorus]
Sooner or later, it all comes crashing down (Crashing down)
Crashing down (Crashing down)
When everyone's around, I bet
You would've paid up all your cash down (Your cash down)
To not make a sound (To make a sound)
But everyone knows now

[Bridge]
It all comes crashing
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over

[Verse 3]
(So you're sad) could've had so much done, you blew it off (Damn)
Your chances passing you by (You were gassed)
Time waits for no one, and it cost for a loss (Damn)
A cosmic joke, should you laugh or cry?

[Chorus]
Sooner or later, it all comes crashing down (Crashing down)
Crashing down (Crashing down)
When everyone's around, I bet
You would've paid up all your cash down (Your cash down)
To not make a sound (To make a sound)
But everyone knows now

[Bridge]
It all comes crashing
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it (Oh)
(Down) It's over, leave it (Oh)
(Down) It's over, leave it (Oh)
(Down) It's over, leave it (Oh)
(Down) It's over, leave it (Oh)
(Down) It's over, leave it (Oh)
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it
(Down) It's over, leave it

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
