Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You
Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You
I ordered a frappachino. Where's my fucking frappachino? Alright, let's do this.
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be,
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see,
When I pretend, I can forget about the criminal I am,
Stealin’ second after second just ‘cause I know I can,
But I can’t pretend this is the way it’ll stay,
I’m just trying to bend the truth,
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be,
So I’m lying my way from..
If you feelin' like a pimp *****, go and brush your shoulders off,
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off,
Niggas is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you,
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder.
I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the force,
Tryin' to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche,
Feelin' no remorse, feelin' like my hand was forced,
Middle finger to the law, *****, grippin' my balls,
All the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin',
All the ballers is bouncin' they like the way I be leanin',
All the rappers be hatin', off the track that I'm makin',
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it,
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pops,
***** London, Japan and I'm straight off the block,
Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the block,
I can run it back, *****, cause I'm straight with the Roc.
If you feelin' like a pimp *****, go and brush your shoulders off,
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off,
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you,
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder,
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder,
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder,
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder.
Your homie Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin' to get me a Rover
Tryin' to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir,
Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya,
But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin,
Now, fifty-two bars come out, now you feel 'em,
Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling,
In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin',
With a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve,
At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen,
I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean,
No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real.
Yeah, I remember what they taught to me,
Remember condescending talk of who I outta be,
Remember listenin’ to all of that and this again,
So I pretended up a person who was fittin’ in,
And now you think this person really is me,
And I’m trying to bend the truth,
But, the more I push, the more I’m pullin’ away,
‘Cause I’m lying my way from you.
(No turning back now),
I wanna be pushed aside,
So let me go,
(No, no turning back now),
Lemme take back my life,
I’d rather be all alone,
(No turning back now),
Anywhere on my own,
‘Cause I can see,
(No, no turning back now),
The very worst part of you,
The very worst part of you,
Is me.
This isn’t what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said,
Would have you running from me,
Like this,
This isn’t what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said,
Would have you runnin’ from me,
Like this (like this),
This isn’t what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said,
Would have you running from me,
Like this (like this),
This isn’t what I wanted to be,
I never thought that what I said,
Would have you running from me,
Like this.
You..
(No turning back now),
I wanna be pushed aside,
So let me go,
(No, no turning back now),
Lemme take back my life,
I’d rather be all alone,
(No turning back now),
Anywhere on my own,
‘Cause I can see,
(No, no turning back now),
The very worst part of you,
The very worst part of you,
Is me.
Bitch!
Big Pimpin'/Papercut
Hahaha
You're wasting your talent, randy
It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right...
Why does it look like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But, I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that, when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
You know I thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
Cause I dont fucking need em
Take 'em out the 'hood, keep 'em lookin good
But I dont fucking feed 'em
First time they fuss I'm breezing, talking about: "What's the reason?"
I'm a pimp in every sense of the word bitch
Better trust and believe him
In the cut where I keep 'em
Til I need a nut, til I need to beat the guts
Then it's, beep beep and I'm pickin em up
Let em play with the dick in the truck
Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs
Divorce him and split his bucks
Just because you got good head, I'ma break bread
So you can be livin it up? Shit I..
Parts with nothin, y'all be frontin
Me give my heart to a woman?
Not for nothin, never happen
I'll be forever mackin
Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion
I got no patience
And I hate waitin..
Hoe get yo' ass in
And let's RI-I-I-I-I-IDE.. check em out now
RI-I-I-I-I-IDE, yeah
And let's RI-I-I-I-I-IDE.. check em out now
RI-I-I-I-I-IDE, yeah

Jigga What/Faint
jigga what? jigga who?
jigga what? jigga who?
jigga what? jigga who?
you gonna lead the vocal in, right?
Motherfukkers wanna act loco, hit em wit, numerous
shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots runnin to the Po-Po's, smoke em like cocoa
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
Fuck dat, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshittin, glock with the full clip
Motherfukkers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a ***** do a full flip
See the ***** layin shocked when the bullet hit
I hate my high youth, no niggaz wanna buy you
But see me I wanna fuck for free
Now I gotta let her take this ride, make you feel it
inside your belly, if it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you to just believe this is real
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not, but I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
Got a condo with nothin but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
See how I was flowin on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggaz hatin and shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoe, wanna marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, causer Your Majesty, just happened to be a pimp
What a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked with friends
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, "Shit..
there's a draft, shut the door bitch and come on in!"
I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand, I do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not, but I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
No
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right now
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right now
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Numb/Encore
Numb Encore
Yeah
Thank you, thank you, thank you
You?re far too kind
Haha
Uh, yeah
Ready?
Let?s go
Can I get a encore/do you want more
Cookin? raw with the Brooklyn boy
So, for one last time, I need y?all to roar
Now, what the hell are you waiting for
After me, there shall be no more
So, for one last time, nigga, make some noise
Get ?em, Jay
Who you know fresher than Hov/riddle me that
The rest of y?all know where I?m lyrically at
Can?t none of y?all mirror me back
Yeah/hearin? me rap is like hearin? G. Rap in his prime
I?m young H.O./rap?s Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe/now break bread
I?m in Boeing Jets/Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
But when you young/what the fuck you expect (yep, yep)
Grand openin?/grand closin?
God, you?re man Hov cracked the can open again
Who you gon? find doper than him with no pen
Just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon? see you can?t replace him (him)
With cheap imitations for these generations
Can I get a encore/do you want more
Cookin? raw with the Brooklyn boy
So, for one last time, I need y?all to roar
Now, what the hell are you waiting for
After me, there shall be no more
So, for one last time, nigga, make some noise
What the hell are you waiting for
Look what you made me do/look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues/how will they pay you
When you first come in the game/they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits/look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (yeah)
As fate would have it/Jay?s status appears
To be at an all-time high/perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan/wearin? the four-five
It ain?t to play games with you
It?s to aim at you/probably maim you
If I owe you/I?ll blow you to smithereens
Cocksucka?/take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came/I saw/I conquered
From record sales to sold-out concerts
So mo?fucka?/if you want this encore
I need you to scream ?til your lungs get sore
I?m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
Don?t know what you?re expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow/we?re just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow/we?re just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take
I?ve become so numb
I can?t feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I?m becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
I?ve become so numb
Can I get a encore/do you want more (more)
I?ve become so numb
So, for one last time, I need y?all to roar
One last time, I need y?all to roar
IZZO/In The End
This is fun
Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the
astonishing...
H to the izz-O...V to the izz-A...
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world
The flow o' the century...always timeless...HOV!
(That's awesome)
Thank you for coming out tonight
You coulda been anywhere in the world, but you're here with us
We appreciate that
Uhh, H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was herbin' em in the home of the Terrapins
Got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short wit' cheese I would work wit' them
Boy and we...got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn't born hustlers I was burpin' em
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' sheezy my neezy keep my arms so freezy
Can't leave rap alone the game needs me
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me
Therefore he doesn't exist
So poof...vamoose son of a bitch
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in V.A.
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem get'cha damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty ya'll got-ta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
(check it out, yo)
(It starts with)
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
(All I know)
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
(It's so unreal)
Didn't look out below
Watched the time go right out the window
Tried to hold on, but didn't even know
I wasted it all just to
(Watch you go)
I kept everything inside
And, even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I tried so...
it starts with... h-to-the-izz-O, v-to-the-izz-A, LP, jay-z, help me out
(aw, they having a good 'ol time out there)
it starts with... h-to-the-izz-O, v-to-the-izz-A, LP, jay-z, help me out
(aw, they having a good 'ol time out there)
it starts with... h-to-the-izz-O, v-to-the-izz-A, LP, jay-z, help me out
(yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen)
Points Of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer
If you havin’ girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
You got it, Mike?
He’s got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket’s closed
Rap critics who say he’s “Money, Cash, Hoes”
He’s from the hood, stupid, what type of facts are those?
If you grew up with holes in your sapitos
You’d be celebratin’ the minute you was havin’ dough
So fuck critics: You can kiss our whole asshole
If you don’t like the lyrics you can press fast-forward
Got beef with radio if we don’t play the show
They don’t play our hits—we don’t give a shit, so
All these mags tryin’ to use our ass
So advertisers can give ‘em more cash for ads
Fuckers, I don’t know what you take us has
Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
From rags to riches, we ain’t dumb
We got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
If you havin’ girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
The year is ninety-four and my trunk is raw
In the rear-view mirror is the mo’fuckin’ law
I got two choices, y’all: Pull over the car or
Bounce on the double, put the pedal to the floor
Now I ain’t tryin’ to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus I got a few dollars—I can fight the case
So I pull over to the side of the road
And I heard: “Son, do you know what I’m stoppin’ you for?”
‘Cause I’m young and I’m black and my hat’s too low?
Do I look like a mind-reader, sir? I don’t know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some more?
“You was doin’ fifty-five in a fifty four
License and registration and step out of the car
Are you carryin’ a weapon on you? Know a lot of you are”
I ain’t steppin’ out of shit
All my paper’s legit
“Well, do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?”
Well, my glove compartment is locked—so’s the trunk in the back
And I know my rights so you gon’ need a warrant for that
“Now aren’t you sharp as a tack? You some type-a lawyer or somethin’?
Somebody important or somethin’?”
Haha, I ain’t passed the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you won’t illegally search my shit
“We’ll see how smart you are when the K9’s come”
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
If you havin’ girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
If you havin’ girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
If you havin’ girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Now, once upon a time not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong-arm a ho
This is not a ho in the sense of havin’ pussy
But a pussy havin’ no God damn sense tryin’ to push me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him ‘cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type: Loud as a motorbike
But wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that’s gonna happen is I’m-a get to clappin’
And he and his boys gon’ be yappin’ to the captain
And there I go, trapped in the kit-kat again
Back through the system with the riff-raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin’ again
Paparazzis with they cameras, snappin’ them
DA tried to give the nigga shaft again
Half a mil for bail ‘cause I’m African
All because this fool was harassin’ them
Tryin’ to play the boy like he’s saccharine
But ain’t nothin’ sweet—‘bout I hold my gun
I got ninety-nine problems—bein’ a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
If you havin’ girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
If you havin’ girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Shut up when I’m talkin’ to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when I’m talkin’ to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit
I need a little room to breathe
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit me
Everything you say to me
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain’t one
Hit
I need a little room to breathe
I got ninety-nine problems
And I’m about to break
I'm tired of being what you want me to be..
Numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Nobody’s Listening
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
We drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
With raps that got you backing this up like
Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
it goes
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Call to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything left’s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
I’m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Call to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Call to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody’s listening)
handfull of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody’s listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
(Nobody’s listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobody’s listening)
Coming at you from every side
I don’t know who to trust no surprise..
From The Inside
I don’t know who to trust no surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
(Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)
[Chorus]
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
Tension is building inside steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me
(Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)
[Chorus]
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
I won’t waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
You
I’ll take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
You
You
Memories consume...
Breaking The Habit
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
[Bridge:]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
[Bridge:]
I dont want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
[Bridge:]
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight
I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard..
Faint
I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everyone can see
these scars
I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe
this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
[Chorus]
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make
sense
I am what you never wanna say but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear
me out
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
[Chorus]
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(No)
(Hear me out now)
(You're gonna listen to me, like it or not)
(Right now)
(Hear me out now)
(You're gonna listen to me, like it or not)
(Right now)
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
[Chorus]
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb..
Easier To Run
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change
[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
There are just too many times that people have tried to..
Hit The Floor
There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I’ve held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you've said about me when I’m not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down
But I’ve had too many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand
And I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine
[Chorus]
(One minute you're on top)
The next you're not watch it drop
(Making your heart stop)
Just before you hit the floor
(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not missed your shot
(Making you're heart stop)
You think you've won
(And then its all gone)
So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel like I’m not stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you've crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall and I’m counting down the time
Cause I’ve had so many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand
And I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine
[Chorus]
(One minute you're on top)
The next you're not watch it drop
(Making your heart stop)
Just before you hit the floor
(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not missed your shot
(Making you're heart stop)
You think you've won
(And then its all gone)
(And then it’s all gone)
(And then its all gone)
(And then it’s all gone)
(Now it’s all gone)
I know I’ll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall
[Chorus]
(One minute you're on top)
The next you're not watch it drop
(Making your heart stop)
Just before you hit the floor
(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not missed your shot
(Making you're heart stop)
You think you've won
(And then its all gone)
(And then it’s all gone)
(And then its all gone)
(And then it’s all gone)
(Now it’s all gone)
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be..
Lying From You
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but
I can’t pretend this is the way it’ll stay I’m just
(trying to bend the truth)
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be, so I’m
[Chorus]
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life,I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you is me)
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin’ in
And now you think this person really is me and I’m
(Trying to bend the truth)
But the more I push the more I'm pulling away 'cuz I'm
[Chorus]
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is ME)
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
[Chorus]
(You)
No turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is me)
When this began...
Somewhere I Belong
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
[Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
[Repeat Chorus]
I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today
[Repeat Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe..
Don't Stay
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know
Somehow I need you to go
[Chorus:]
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know
Somehow I need to be alone
[Chorus]
I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored
I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away
I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored
I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away
With no apologies
[Chorus]
Don't stay
Don't stay
Crawling in my skin...
Krwlng
(feat. Mike Shinoda, Aaron Lewis of STAIND)
Crawling in my skin
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence
Consuming, confusing
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
There’s something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Crawling in my skin
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
Confusing what is real
There’s something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control
I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
It’s haunting
How I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
I’m about to break...

(feat. The Humble Brothers, Jonathan Davis)
I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
’Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I’m about to break
This room to breathe
This room to breathe
This room to breathe
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I’ve said before
All these words, they make no sence
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You’ll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren’t so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sence
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before
Everything you say to me
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I’m about to break
These are the places where I can feel torn from my body
My flesh, it peels during this ride we can cut upwhat we like
I’m about to break
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate, I have never missed
Please, someone, give me a reason to rip off my face
Blood is a pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I’m about to
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
’Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
’Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to
