Mike:
|
These people are running off at the mouth
|
Trying to convince me that I'm running on empty
|
Trying to convince themselves that the record with Jay was a fluke
|
That the record that I'm making is a mistake
|
And I can't take this
|
Let me tell you where I'm at with this
|
You bastards are gonna have to take back that shit
|
I'm not plastic and fake / when I make tracks
|
I take facts and lay ¡¯em out for the masses
|
You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playing
|
And start asking me the names that I'm not saying
|
But I'm trying to be bigger than the bickering
|
Bigger than the petty name calling
|
Under the breath talking
|
Rumors and labels and categorization
|
I'm like a struggling doctor: no patience (patients - ha)
|
But you can say what you want about me
|
Keep talking while I'm walking away
|
|
John:
|
You can say what you have to say
|
¡¯Cause my mind's made up anyway
|
I¡¯m taking the high road / going above you
|
This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
|
You can say what you have to say
|
¡¯Cause my mind's made up anyway
|
All that bullshit you talk might work a lot
|
But it's not gonna work today
|
|
Mike:
|
You people are running off at the mouth
|
Trying to make me take myself off safety
|
Trying to make my friends turn their backs
|
On the team we've built
|
Building up some mistaken information
|
And I can't take this
|
Let me spell it out plain for you angry groups
|
Complaining ¡¯bout the things we do
|
I'm not changing direction
|
I'm stepping my game up
|
Maintaining my name / same way that I came up
|
You're gonna see that I'm not playing
|
And start asking me the names that I'm not saying
|
But I'm trying to not mention the names of
|
People who wanna siphon attention / you like the hype but
|
Pretending you're part of the picture won't pass
|
You're like a high school dropout: no class
|
And you can say what you want about me
|
Keep talking while I¡¯m walking away
|
|
John:
|
Why does it always have to be
|
Somebody's always watching me
|
All I really need is some room to breathe
|
Is anybody out there listening
|
¡¯Cause I can't stand to keep this in
|
All I really want I¡¯ll say again
|
