You accepted my love, I'm so glad 'bout that. I've been waiting patiently, now is the time to hold back. No need to explain why we do, childish things we do.
Well, she bang the skillet on my head tonight and I was hurtin'. She made me sad for I know not what I do. Before she makes me cry and makes me sleep outside.
*Horn Intro*. . My love for you, girl, is one of a kind. And if you don't believe me, you're way out of line. So give me that chance to prove my love.
Don't be so stiff about it. We are but broken glass. Don't wanna hear about it. Good things never last. But she can see I'm hazy. She knows why I'm so late.
If you don't know, it's too late to turn around. If you can't see by now you'll never have the time to save yourself. As I follow, I learn from everything that you do wrong.
I can't know what you feel inside. But your face can't hide your foolish pride. Keep in mind all you left behind. Was in chains that bind, is that a sign?.
I've got nothing to penetrate. And I've got nothing to elevate. I can't seem to concentrate. 'Cause I've got nothing to consecrate. . I wouldn't know the solution.
Can you feel me now?. There is no way out.. Can you tell what's on my mind?. . I control you now.. You can feel my power.. Lick my wounds they'll set you free..
Yes, Hello, It's me. Some positivity. So turn the mic gain up. Let's force another one. Should I grin and stay hopeful. When we both look to different lights.
If I show you the truth will you show me the beauty. If I show you the pain will you show me the purity. If I show you the scars will you show me yours.
There's a shadow on my wall that tells me the time. It says you're always late and you can't miss this train. Well I open my mouth but I hear no sound.
If I brought a note to school. That said my days were numbered. They'd leave me. Numb and bleeding. Or strangle me with jump-leads. Momma, momma, momma,.
Go, alright. . We walk it straight and narrow. We take this path straight to hell. We want a quick solution. We put ourselves inside a pill. . Damnation, salvation, can't see a difference anyway.
You got the first mile. Made it through but you're falling apart. Forget the distance that you've moved. Since you were at the start. . I bet you would do much better.
I see a red door and I want it painted black. No colors anymore, I want them to turn black. I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes. I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.
Dear friend you don't have to lie to me. When I ask you what's going on. Are you doin' right or ya doing wrong. If you do right will there not be a lifting up.
promise me a lifetime. what's a promise anyway... a word that you keep?. a word that you break?. . walkin' home alone now. til you walk with someone new.
Keep on praising, keep on praising. . Praise up praise up. Praise up your mind to find a way to live. Keep on praising, keep on praising, keep on praising.
Why let this world just wait on your shoulders?. Pick it up, push it off, before you let yourself get colder. Just look into the eyes, the good eyes of a child.
