Текст песни:

Boys and girls want to hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowing the cup
About five, six strippers trying to work for a buck
And I took one girl outside with me Her name was Loni, she went to junior high with me And said why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lot has changed since I seen you last
She said…
1 What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor
Cause he’s hungry
And the only way to feed him is to Sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy’s gone
Somewhere smoking rock now
In and out of lock down
I ain’t got a job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life, mmm
Girl you ain’t the only one with a baby
That’s no excuse to be living all crazy
Then she looked me right square in the eye
And said, «Everyday I wake up hoping to die.»
She said, nigga I know about pain cause
Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn’t rape us Before I was a teenager
I done been through more shit you can’t even relate to Oh then she said
(What would you do?)
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
(What would you do?)
Cause I wouldn’t want my baby to go through what I went through
(What would you do?)
Get up on my feet and stop making up tired excuses
(What would you do?)
Girl I know if my mother could do it baby you can do it Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

  • Feels like we danced into a nightmare We’re living 1984 If doublethink’s no longer fiction We’ll dream of Huxley’s Island shores Waking life, it lets us down So close your eyes and melt away In the middle of the night, I can dream away Change what I like and go back to the future again In the middle of the night, gonna scream your name Bring you to life, then go back to the future again In the middle of the night, ahoo, ahoo Now that reality’s distorted Can we just Blade Run-Run away? Back into some imagined future Let’s tap our heels three times and pray Uh, waking life, it lets us down So close your eyes and melt away In the middle of the night, I can dream away Change what I like and go back to the future again In the middle of the night, gonna scream your name Bring you to life, then go back to the future again In the middle of the night, ahoo, ahoo In the middle of the night, ahoo, ahoo Hey, uh, uh Uh, take me back to the future Uh, take me back to the future Uh, take me back to the future Uh, take me back to the future Uh, let’s go back to the future Uh, let’s go back to the future In the middle of the night, can I dream away? Bring you to life, then go back to the future again In the middle of the night (ahoo) In the middle of the night In the middle of the night, ahoo, ahoo
  • Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier When the morning comes When we see what we’ve become In the cold light of day we’re a flame in the wind Not the fire that we’ve begun Every argument, every word we can’t take back ‘Cause with the all that has happened I think that we both know the way that the story ends Then only for a minute I want to change my mind ‘Cause this just don’t feel right to me I want to raise your spirits I want to see you smile but Know that means I’ll have to leave Know that means I’ll have to leave Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier When the evening falls And I’m left there with my thoughts And the image of you being with someone else Well, that’s eating me up inside But we run our course, we pretended we’re okay Now if we jump together at least we can swim Far away from the wreck we made Then only for a minute I want to change my mind ‘Cause this just don’t feel right to me I want to raise your spirits I want to see you smile but Know that means I’ll have to leave Know that means I’ll have to leave Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier So I’ll go, I’ll go I will go, go, go So I’ll go, I’ll go I will go, go, go Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier Even though I might not like this I think that you’ll be happier, I want you to be happier Then only for a minute I want to change my mind ‘Cause this just don’t feel right to me I want to raise your spirits I want to see you smile but Know that means I’ll have to leave Know that means I’ll have to leave Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier So I’ll go, I’ll go I will go, go, go

  • I wanna turn those blue lights into strobe lights Not blue flashing lights, maybe fairy lights Those blue lights into strobe lights Maybe even fairy lights, not blue flashing lights Don’t you run when you hear the sirens coming When you hear the sirens coming You better not run 'cause the sirens not coming for you What have you done? You went to school that day Was a bit late but it was a Monday Kept after class for answering back You apologized, ain’t no harm in that? (I wanna turn those blue lights) What have you done? (Into strobe lights) There’s no need to run (Not blue flashing lights) If you’ve done nothing wrong (Maybe fairy lights) Blue lights should just pass you by Gun crime into your right ear Drugs and violence into your left Default white headphones flooding the auditory Subconscious waves you accept You’re sitting on the 4 back home «Where you at, G? Answer your phone!» Paused the poison to answer his message Your boy sounds rushed, fears for his adolescence (I wanna turn those blue lights) What have you done? (Into strobe lights) There’s no need to run (Not blue flashing lights) If you’ve done nothing wrong (Maybe fairy lights) Blue lights should just pass you by Tall black shadow as you’re getting off the bus Shadow shows no emotion so what’s even the fuss? But the face on your boy casts a darker picture Of the red handed act, he’s gonna whisper; «Look blud, I’m sorry, 'cause I know you got my back He was running, I couldn’t think, I had to get out of that» Not long ago you were miming to the «Shook Ones» Now this really is part two 'cause you’re the shook one Hands you the tool as you question your friendship How’s man like you gonna make me a convict? Level of a felon when I’ve done nothing wrong Blood on my hands but I don’t know where it’s from, oh You got blood on your hands but you don’t know where it’s from You better run when you hear the sirens coming When you hear the sirens coming Better run when you hear the sirens coming 'Cause they will be coming for you Run when you hear the sirens coming Better run when you hear the sirens coming When you hear the sirens coming The blue lights are coming for you (I wanna turn those blue lights) What have you done? (Into strobe lights) There’s no need to run (Not blue flashing lights) If you’ve done nothing wrong (Maybe fairy lights) Blue lights should just pass you by «Blud, when you hear the sirens coming» Don’t you run when you hear the sirens coming «Blud, when you hear the sirens coming» Don’t you run when you hear the sirens coming What have you d-d-d-done done Don’t you run Don’t you run Don’t you run when you hear the sirens coming
  • [Intro] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Verse 1] Walking out into the dark, cutting out a different path Lead by a beating heart All the people of the town cast their eyes right to the ground In matters of the heart [Pre-Chorus] The night was all you had You ran into the night from all you had Found yourself a path up on the ground You ran into the night; you can't be found [Chorus 1] But this is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it? [Verse 2] Summer evening breezes blew, drawing voices deep from you Lead by your beating heart What a year and what a night, what terrifying final sights Put out your beating heart [Pre-Chorus] The night was all you had You ran into the night from all you had Found yourself a path up on the ground You ran into the night; you can't be found [Chorus 1] But, this is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it? [Bridge] If you had your gun Would you shoot it at the sky? Why--to see where it would fall Or will you come down at all? If you had your gun Would you shoot it at the sky? Why--to see where your bullet would fall Or will you come down at all? [Chorus 1] This is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it? [Chorus 2] This is your racing heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
