Get Down, Crawl 

Well, you might be sorry 

But it doesn’t change the facts 

Still makin’ you prove it 

But you'll never get me back 

You better bend your legs and kneel 

Better bow down and show me the way you feel 

Get down and crawl 

I won’t give in 

Don’t need your lovin' to get by 

You're still beggin' and pleadin' 

Until you tell another lie 

Hope you suffer like you did to me 

Pay attention find out that's what you need 

Get down and crawl 

Regret won't change 

How I feel about you now 

Don't come walkin' this way 

You should know better by now 

Right up at me should be your point of view 

By now you should know exactly what to do 

Get down and crawl 

Get down and crawl 

 

Don't Be the Sucker 

Her daddy was a troubadour 

Couldn't stay in one place for too long 

He told her 'Girl, you better make your mind up 

Don't get stuck here singin' the same old song 

Just remember when in doubt 

When you got the choice take cash over clout 

You can buy your piece of mind at the right amount 

Learn from me 

Don't be the sucker 

Don't put your life in the hands of another 

Stay on top and take all they can give 

Cus playin' fair only works when the game is’ 

Her daddy was a holy roller 

Praised god on every Saturday night 

Tears on Sunday mornin’,, 'Lord 

Forgive my wild and selfish life’ 

Sunday always came and went 

Six days a week, got plenty to repent 

He gave one last word of advice 

Before he left without a hint 

He said 

‘Learn from me 

Don’t be the sucker 

Don’t put your life in the hands of another 

Stay on top and take all they can give 

Cus playin’ fair only works when the game is’ 

 

Just Can’t Trust You 

Think you know it all but you don’t know nothin’ 

If you can’t stand up for me then you can’t stand up for nothin’ 

Tellin’ everybody that you’re number one 

Either way you’re out of time cus I’m already done 

Now I know 

Now I see 

Now it’s all so clear to me 

I can’t go on blind 

I gotta leave you behind 

Well you gotta go cus now I know 

I just can’t trust you 

Never never never wanna see you again 

No need to beg just leave instead 

There’s no way you’re gonna win 

Try and test me and you might regret 

Don’t make a move I promise you’ll lose 

And it won’t hurt me to forget 

Now I know 

Now I see 

Now it’s all so clear to me 

I can’t go on blind 

I gotta leave you behind 

Well you gotta go cus now I know 

I just can’t trust you 

 

Can’t Love You Back (It’s a Shame) 

Darlin’ I’m amazed by your lovin' gaze 

And your embrace when you say goodbye 

But I can only smile 

See you in awhile

Is all I can give you back 

I must keep playin’ cool like a good girl should do 

But I know that it’s already there 

I keep myself in line tell myself in time 

That these feelings I have will pass 

It’s a shame 

It’s a shame 

It’s a shame that I can’t love you back 

I can’t see you the same 

Got no one to blame 

Now that I know how you feel for me 

But my man says ‘Don’t let go’ 

It would hurt him so 

I’ll admit I’m afraid to leave 

My pride can’t take the hit but my heart is sick 

From this lie that I’m livin’ through 

Outside I stay in check 

But inside I’m a wreck 

I don’t know what I’m gonna do 

It’s a shame 

It’s a shame 

It’s a shame that I can’t love you back 

 

Holler Out Loud 

You’re tearing 

You’re tearing me apart 

You’re tearing 

You’re tearing me apart 

Brought me down to my hands 

Brought me down to my knees 

Brought me down to the very last breath 

Got me feelin’ like I’m split in half 

Make me wanna holler out loud 

You’re tearing 

You’re tearing me apart 

You’re tearing 

You’re tearing me apart 

Cut my heart cut my soul 

Cut me deep lost all control 

Cut away that lovin’ high 

Cut me till you bleed me dry 

Make me wanna holler out loud 

You’re tearing 

You’re tearing me apart 

You’re tearing 

You’re tearing me apart 

Brought me down to my hands 

Brought me down to my knees 

Brought me down to the very last breath 

Got me feelin’ like I’m split in half 

Make me wanna holler out loud 

 

Poisoning the Well 

Woke up hungry starved for answers 

Why can’t we live our lives 

Not be terrorized by hate and greed 

Time and time again we cry out 

Blood, sweat and tears are all out 

And we’re fallin’ to our knees 

Disconnected is the feeling of our time 

And they’re poisoning the well 

Of our world and of our minds 

And it feels like we’re livin’ in the last days of rome 

Silence breeds the fear to conquer 

Crush all our will to wonder 

Can we survive with complacency 

Time and time again we realize 

Our requests for change are denied 

And we get no sympathy 

Disconnected is the feeling of our time 

And they’re poisoning the well 

Of our world and of our minds 

And it feels like we’re livin’ in the last days of rome 

Woke up hungry starved for answers 

Why can’t we live our lives 

Not be terrorized by hate and greed 

Time and time again we cry out 

Blood, sweat and tears are all out 

And we’re fallin’ to our knees 

Disconnected is the feeling of our time 

And they’re poisoning the well 

Of our world and of our minds 

And it feels like we’re livin’ in the last days of rome 

 

Take the Ride (It Don’t Matter) 

 You better listen up 

You better take note of my words 

I’m taking over it’s my world now 

I’m not takin’ options no way no how 

I’m layin’ it all on the line 

No chance to do it a second time 

Gonna make my way to the top 

All the way from the bottom nowhere to drop 

Let me pull you to the deep end 

Take you deep under my spell 

It don’t matter 

It don’t matter 

It don’t matter take the ride 

You can’t stop me now 

When I’m kickin’ down all the doors 

Nothing comes for free but I’m not buyin’ out 

Understand or don’t that’s what I’m all about 

I’m layin’ it all on the line 

No chance to do it a second time 

Gonna make my way to the top 

All the way from the bottom nowhere to drop 

Let me pull you to the deep end 

Take you deep under my spell 

It don’t matter 

It don’t matter 

It don’t matter take the ride 

 

Tell the Next World 

If I die in a worldwide disaster 

Tell the next world to please be aware 

Don’t let yourself be lead by a liar 

By the evil rule makers that don’t care 

Tell them don’t forget to fight for their freedom 

For the young and old and all in between 

Cus it’s guaranteed a man with a self-fulfilling plan 

Will abandon you to keep himself in lead 

Don’t live just for the money 

For the hotshots on TV 

Don’t listen to the hateful words the cowards try to speak 

We didn’t see it soon enough we were to stuck to change 

Take the time to keep in mind our needs are all the same 

If I die by a police gunfire 

Tell the whole word my life was lost in vain 

Don’t be so ignorant to place a human being by the face 

It’s a guaranteed catastrophe and shame 

Don’t live just for the money 

For the hotshots on TV 

Don’t listen to the hateful words the cowards try to speak 

We didn’t see it soon enough we were to stuck to change 

Take the time to keep in mind our needs are all the same 

If I die by a police gunfire 

Tell the whole word my life was lost in vain 

Don’t be so ignorant to place a human being by the face 

It’s a guaranteed catastrophe and shame 

Tell them don’t forget to fight for their freedom 

For the young and old and all in between 

Cus it’s guaranteed a man with a self-fulfilling plan 

Will abandon you to keep himself in lead 

 

Might Get Killed Tonight 

Another night another mess to fix 

Once again I’m stuck in a mix 

This man has got me losin’ my mind 

This love so bad he might get killed tonight 

My friends ask me why do I stay 

I’m sittin’ here thinkin’ the same 

Can’t figure out why I’m so blind 

This love so bad he might get killed tonight 

The heat of my temper makes me remember 

That I like to play with fire 

It’s such a trip how you can hate someone 

That your heart used to desire 

Foolin’ with another joke 

Wastin’ my time on this lust filled hope 

Can you remember why we even fight? 

This love so bad he might get killed tonight 

The heat of my temper makes me remember 

That I like to play with fire 

It’s such a trip how you can hate someone 

That your heart used to desire 

Get outta here before I take it there 

This stress on my heart ain’t worth it to bear 

Can you remember why we even fight? 

This love so bad he might get killed tonight 

 

The Fire That’s In Me 

Starin’ straight ahead at 3am on a highway I don’t know 

Destination plugged in but it feels like I’m goin’ nowhere to slow 

Another sip from a roadside cup 

Another pill, 6 more hours to stay up 

I’m stuck in my mind for another night 

And I’m strugglin’ to put up a fight 

‘Cus I’m tired 

I’m so tired 

I’m so tired 

And I’m tryin’ to make it through 

Always been my worst enemy invite the weak side to stay awhile 

Easier to stay out of my head than to weigh out all my own trials 

Sometimes I can’t stand the fire that’s in me 

Stop making me stronger and just kill me 

I’m stuck in my mind for another night 

And I’m strugglin’ to put up a fight 

‘Cus I’m tired 

I’m so tired 

I’m so tired 

And I’m tryin’ to make it through 

Sometimes I can’t stand the fire that’s in me 

Stop making me stronger and just kill me 

I’m stuck in my mind for another night 

And I’m strugglin’ to put up a fight 

‘Cus I’m tired 

I’m so tired 

I’m so tired 

And I’m tryin’ to make it through
