[One Republic:]
I'm holdin' on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearin' what your sayin'
But I just can't make a soundd
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me downn
But waaiiitt;
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn aroundd
And sayyy
[Lil' Wayne]
Okay, I'm talkin' about a
Good girl, gone bad
Crooked world, wrong path
Right Mom, wrong Dad
I sing this song mad, but not mad enough to shoot you
But it just eats me up, like some bbq from Luther's
In the mornin' with the roosters
On the corner with the boosters
And she's the freshcut and they're on her like sutures
And I wanna talk to her
But her Mama has to school her
I wanna see her better
She's the weather of my future
I don't wanna see another hurricane
Baby you can k** the pain
If you just let me explain
Trust me I know what I'm sayin'
You will end up on the track of an oncoming train
Stuck in the pa**enger seat
Travlin' through the fast lane
[Bun B]
Well once upon a time, there was a Mom and a Dad
Who on the outside had everything people wished they had
A beautiful daughter, two story house, two car garage
And a white picket fence wrapped around the front yard
See Daddy was a doctor
And Mommy was a banker
Mommy's job got outsourced
So now Mommy's dranker
Daddy had a malpractice suit
Now he's a snorter
And all this sh**'s takin' place
Right in front of their daughter
She says, Daddy what's wrong?
But he's just too high
Mommy what we gon' do?
She just get drunk and cry
Caught in the middle of two wrongs, tryin' to do right
Lookin' for answers alone in the darkness of night
They say...
