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
