I'm runnin' out of space to make up my mistakes
I'm so done waiting for what I want
Hope I find something to fill my heart
It's all I've ever known, but now I'm wantin' more
I wish that Heaven had visiting hours
So I could just show up and bring the news
That she's getting older and I wish that you'd met her
The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you
Walkin' through the hood undoubtedly without a stain
Hopped off the porch, I'm a prodigy, they know the name
Had to run it up like my prophecy, financial gain
If you ain't with me, you against me, then get out the way
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
A galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
'Cause nothing lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
Mama, take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
An' the wars go on with brainwashed pride
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you, I'm still alright to smile
Guns N' Roses - Patience, Album: G N’ R LiesTake me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
You're one in a million, yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe, you're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you but you were much too high
Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games
We got everything you want, honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey, we got your disease
If I say I don't need anyone, I can say these things to you
'Cause I can turn on anyone just like I've turned on you
I've got a tongue like a razor, a sweet switchblade knife
And I can do you favors but then you'll do whatever I like
Talk to me softly, there's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow and please don't cry
I know how you feel inside, I've, I've been there before
Something is changing inside you and don't you know?
They feed us hate with a crude smile
To throw us all in a cell
Heaven's not a place on Earth
Earth is a place in Hell
I want everything there is to have, don't say I'm wrong
I went through the worst and yet I'm still here standing strong
Change facts, live fast, it helps us forget pain
Reach back, no thanks, I still go against grains
Point fingers away, don't blame 'til they break
Hype up and see your life's covered in flames
Pull up then I tear down every stigma that they made
They've been plotting on my downfall like I'm gonna change my ways
Is it in your head like it is in mine?
All the hurt you shed, it won't save your life
They still want you dead, better take your time
Watching what you spend to control your mind
Taking it back like I do, I live my day like you do
Mourn on the facts that I prove, keeping it savage and true
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
And this one is for the champions
I ain't lost since I began
Funny how you said it was the end
Then I went did it again
You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to trust one another
Or we'd have no more future at all
Wasting your time
You're wasting mine
I hate to see you leaving
A fate worse than dying
A song to me is more than just some bullshit and words
It's the only time some nobody like me would be heard
You're booin' me cause you're losin', it's funny to watch you fumble
Your word is empty and sad, like your girl, you met her on Bumble
Your team is lazy and jumbled, my team is there if I stumble
They turn a rap in a mumble, I keep it real and stay humble
I know where I'm from but I don't stay no more
'Cause everyone back home don't act the same no more
So tell these motherf-ckers I ain't playin' no more
I'm drownin' out my problems 'til my pain no more
If you want the best of my heart
You just gotta see the good in me
I want to feel your depth, but your heart is deaf when you talk to me
Witt Lowry - Let Me Know, Album: I Could Not Plan ThisYou were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star, you fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us alight
We all need that someone who gets you like no one else
Right when you need it the most
We all need a soul to rely on, a shoulder to cry on
A friend through the highs and the lows
I see those tears in your eyes
And I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Nobody's perfect, I'll never try, no
But I promise I'm worth it if you just open up your eyes
I need a second chance, I-I need a friend
Someone who's gon stand by me right there 'til the end
These shallow waters never met what I needed
I'm letting go, a deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing, alive
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancing on your own
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I
Not your barbie girl, I'm livin' in my own world
I ain't plastic, call me classic
You can't touch me there, you can't touch my body
Unless I say so, ain't your barbie, no
You take all of the light away
But then you give me fireworks
I think of leaving night and day
But then you always find the words
My head and my heart are torturing me
Lost my mind in your arms, I go to extremes
When angels tell me run, and monsters call it love
My head and my heart are caught in-between
She'll make you curse, but she a blessing
She'll rip your shirt within a second
You'll be coming back, back for seconds
With your plate, you just can't help it
I got my thigh-highs on, feel like Wonder Woman
That's when you want all in, but I'm not your woman
When my lipstick pops and I feel like Monroe
That's when you want me most
Let's jump on a plane, see the world together
Give you my last name, be my girl forever
Heart been broke so many times I don't know what to believe
Mama say it's my fault, it's my fault, I wear my heart on my sleeve
Think it's best I put my heart on ice, heart on ice 'cause I can't breathe
I'ma put my heart on ice, heart on ice, it's gettin' the best of me
They see the Instagram, the comments, and all the likes
But they don't see the make-up, and the breakups, and the fights
No one could understand, I had way too much aggression
That built over the years from my abandoned adolescence
See I done been lied to, backstabbed, and heartbroken
I wanted to cry but I was too afraid to open
Devil in a dress, angel in some Nike Airs
I could've sworn I went to sleep and she was right here
Don't know if I seen her in my dreams or my nightmares
I been feelin' pain for so long
I done became numb
I don't make it no better, I give my heart to whoever
They take it and they run
And I don't want no more love, I feel it's poison
Late at night I can't sleep 'cause I hear voices
Tellin' me I'm too deep, quit tryna force it
Got too much stuck on my chest, can't get it off of me
I put my demons to rest but they been stalking me
Lord knows I tried my best, I gave it all of me
Okay, I finally get the meaning of fighting demons
Late at night, I ain't sleeping, I'm up thinking
