Patrick Stump - Echoes lyrics

[Intro: Talib Kweli] Like that right there It feels so African Got a little somethin' on my chest Gotta get it off, gotta get it off [Hook: Miguel and Patrick Stump] You say the meanest f**in' things to me And I pretend that I don't care But when it's said and done and the war is won Your words are all I hear And they echo And they echo And they echo And they echo [Verse 1: Talib Kweli] Say what you mean, mean what you say You the meanest girl, you my Tina Fey Like you out for pain, like you out for shame But you pout when I call you out your name Your words burnin' me, you're my bird of prey When you feed your young, you regurgitate What I heard you say and reverberate But I'm a man, gotta show my vertebrae I'm the kind to wait, you can come through with You can run to it and get numb to it Treat you like the Autobahn, just sung to it Treat you like my favorite song and just jump to it Girl you waste my bluff when we makin' love Can't take it, love, you my favorite drug You my fleur-de-lys, you disturb the peace Cause you hurtin' me, you turned to me and said Love is a potion that's fluent, let's keep it movin' The only thing that's magic is moments, I'm only human The only thing that's tragic is futures that we can ruin I pound for couple of hours, double influence Need a break from the words you're usin' My love broke my Kevin Hart Let me explain cause I see what you're doin' Mama said, "You don't need to stay" Papa said, "Boy you need to pray", goddamn [Hook: Miguel and Patrick Stump] You say the meanest f**in' things to me And I pretend that I don't care But when it's said and done and the war is won Your words are all I hear And they echo And they echo And they echo And they echo [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] We can't internalize the things people say to us But it make you sus, I need a break from us I used to think your attitude was a major plus Now the way you talk to me is like we breakin' up Tryna get into my zone without you makin' a fuss Like sticks and stones, your words breakin' stuff They hittin' home, but I can take a punch I'm your David Lynch, you're my naked lunch I found space for us, found a place for us Used to pray for love, used to pray for us Would've gave you my blood but you gave it up My heart a house for this love but you sprayed it up You can't take a brush, comments is tangled up In a web of emotion that's dangerous I can't make this up, that sh** is lame as f** I ain't a slave but I'm out here tryna make a buck Stayin' on my hustle, I ride around and I spend it Set it into motion like bu*terflies to defect it Tryin' to pretend that the words are never effective Seem to work for a second but never be worth the effort I'm a man and they say I ain't s'posed to run on emotions So I let you get away with more than you were supposed to I kept it bottled up like a note to float in the ocean Just stop myself, I'm explodin' [Hook: Miguel and Patrick Stump] You say the meanest f**in' things to me And I pretend that I don't care But when it's said and done and the war is won Your words are all I hear And they echo And they echo And they echo And they echo
