Fix You

When you try your best but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
when you too in love to let it go
If you never try you’ll never know
Just watch and learn

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

What Would You Do?

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story
Saturday night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowin’ the cup
About five or six strippers tryin’ to work for a buck
And I took one girl outside wit’ me
Her name was Loni
She went to Junior High wit’ me
I said, why you up in there dancin’ for cash?
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
She said

What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor cuz he’s hungry
And the only way to feed him is ta
Sleep wit’ a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy’s gone
So we’re smokin’ rock now
In and out of lock down
I ain’t gotta job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life

Girl, you ain’t the only one wit’ a baby
That’s no excuse to be livin’ all crazy
Then she looked me right square in the eye
And said, everyday I wake up hopin’ to die
She said, nigger I know about pain cuz
Me and my sista ran away
So my daddy couldn’t rape us
Before I was a teenager
I done been through more sh**
You can’t even relate ta

What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor cuz he’s hungry
And the only way to feed him is ta
Sleep wit’ a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy’s gone
So we’re smokin’ rock now
In and out of lock down
I ain’t gotta job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life

(Then she said, what would you do if)
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
(What would you do)
Cuz I wouldn’t want my baby to go through what I went through
(C’mon, what would you do)
Get up on my feet, stop makin tired excuses
(What would you do)
Girl I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it

What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor cuz he’s hungry
And the only way to feed him is ta
Sleep wit’ a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy’s gone
So we’re smokin’ rock now
In and out of lock down
I ain’t gotta job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life

What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor cuz he’s hungry
And the only way to feed him is to
Sleep wit’ a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy’s gone
So we’re smokin rock now
In and out of lock down
I ain’t gotta job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life, c’mon

The Red

They say freak,
When you’re singled out,
The red,
Well it filters through.

So lay down,
The threat is real,
When his sight,
Goes red again.

Seeing red again,
Seeing red again.

This change,
He won’t contain,
Slip away,
To clear your mind,
When asked,
Who made it show (who made it show),
The truth,
He gives into most.

So lay down,
The threat is real,
When his sight,
Goes red again.

So lay down,
The threat is real,
When his sight,
Goes red again.

So lay down,
The threat is real,
When his sight,
Goes red again.

Seeing red again!
Seeing red again!
Seeing red again!
Seeing red again!
Seeing red again!
Seeing red again!
Seeing red again!
Seeing red!!!

They say freak, When you’re singled out,
The red, it filters through.

Comfortable Liar

Broad is this sea
the salt enters the wound
my take on you is simple

So heal your fear
To heal your fear

Time spent wading off shore
The calm before the storm
My take from you is simple

So heal your fear
To heal your fear

You’re such a comfortable liar
You’re such a comfortable liar
You’re such a comfortable liar
You’re such a comfortable liar
You’re such a comfortable liar
So calm
Cause i said wrong

You comfortable liar
You comfortable liar
You comfortable liar
You comfortable liar
Liar

Vitamin R

Some will learn many do
Cover up or spread it out
Turn around had enough
Pick and choose or pass it on
Buying in heading for
Suffer now or suffer then
It’s bad enough I want the fear
Need the fear cause he’s alone

(And he has become)
He’s alone
(And he has become)

Well if they’re making it (making it)
Then they’re pushing it (pushing it)
And they’re leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic makes remorse

After all what’s the point
Cause levitation is possible
If you’re a fly achieved and gone
There’s time for this and so much more
It’s typical create a world
A special place of my design
To never cope or never care
Just use the key cause he’s alone

(And he has become)
He’s alone
(And he has become)

Well if they’re making it (making it)
Then they’re pushing it (pushing it)
And they’re leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic makes remorse

Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave became
Over and over a slave

Well if they’re making it (making it)
Then they’re pushing it (pushing it)
And they’re leading us along
The hassle of (hassle of)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
That panic held before

Well if they’re making it (making it)
Then they’re pushing it (pushing it)
And they’re leading us along
Like a cancer caused (cancer caused)
All the screaming fits (screaming fits)
And their panic makes remorse
