Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again
I keep falling down
I keep on hitting the ground
But I always get up now to see what's next
Birds don't just fly
They fall down and get up
First things first I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
Can't you forgive me? At least just temporarily
I know that this is my fault I should have been more careful
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
You just want attention, you don't want my heart
Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
I said, "can you give it back to me?"
She said, "never in your wildest dreams"
If you want it, take it. I should have said it before
Tried to hide it, fake it. I can't pretend anymore
Then only for a minute. I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
If you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody
If you wanna believe that anything could stop me
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
Shoes on, get up in the morn'
Cup of milk, let's rock and roll
King Kong, kick the drum, rolling on like a Rolling Stone
Don't matter how, what, where, who tries it
We're out here vibin', we vibin', we vibin'
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
They say oh my god I see the way you shine
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
Strong as ten regular men, definitely!
He faced the galloping hordes
A hundred bad guys with swords
Who sent those goons to their lords?
Why, Prince Ali
You're insecure, don't know what for. You're turnin' heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up to cover up. Bein' the way that you are is enough
Nothin' to prove and I'm bulletproof and Know what I'm doing
The way we're movin' like introducing Us to a new thing
Put your pinky rings up to the moon.
Girls, what y'all trying to do?
Twenty four karat magic in the air Head to toe so player
You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty.
You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies
I hope I don't run out of time, could someone call a referee?
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
(Vandal!)
One hop ahead of the hump
(Street rat!)
One trick ahead of disaster
(Scoundrel!)
They're quick, but I'm much faster
(Take that!)
But with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed
Rather be tied up with calls and not strings
Write my own checks like I write what I sing, yeah
It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open
It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall, it's holding
All that you know
