(chorus) t-pain:
Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me
(WOOOOAAAAHH)
On a mission to be
What i'm destined to be
(WOOOOAAAAHH)
I've been through the pain and the sorrow
And the struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love)
I'm a soldier, rider, ghetto survivor
And all the above
All the above (x7)

this is not right, the shallow sight of the dutiful
i love them all 'cause they're so ugly and beautiful
it's clear for me to see that you were made for this
immutable and given to fits, you avarice is cavernous
and this is nothing compared to what we're gonna get
we've been blessed by the angel of success and stress
i'm breaking out of this coast to coastal
in five ticks i'm going global and postal
pace yourself, brace yourself

you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback
this is a new day and you're the big winner
you're never gonna believe what you see

ch. (sung)
before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself
a veil has been pulled away and things look big today

it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little
ch.
and lost and always pulling back to the middle
being cool is a compromise.
your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized
cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash
and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash
i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf
you must contain yourself and entertain yourself


the way is littered with shams and also rans running to fall
but all is not lost, given the cost you gotta have a firm plan
and done in with a wrecking ball, who never question anything at all this conciousness is sublime
and we are numbed by the passage of time,
we are a blight of bottled water and cannon fodder
these motherfuckers are suckers, it's a crime
you need an 18 year old wife and a 19 year old daughter

pace yourself brace yourself
you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback
you're never gonna believe what you see
this is a new day and you're the big winner



before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself
ch. (sung)
a veil has been pulled away and things look big today

it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little
and lost and always pulling back to the middle
your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized
being cool is a compromise
i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf
cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash
you must contain yourself and entertain yourself
and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash

maybe your ship will come in, maybe your number's up
bridge
but either way your life will never be the same
wake every day with a song in a heart small and lame

why don't you help me fill in the empty spaces 'cause hope is full of holes and you know we've got to replace this but i know you disguise your sadness and your surprise and a heart you've grown to despise we stare at each other with moon ears and glass eyes and nothing's said, or needed to be said because the sheets in the bed have been stained red and all these able bodied angels with these apples in their heads i don't know whether to fuck you or to gut you like a창?짝 this joke is getting kind of personal your laugh is like a scream that goes and goes and goes i'm less invincible than terminal your love is like a sore that grows and grows and grows was it her maiden voyage, was it her maiden name or was she made in a country that couldn't shoulder the loss? was it her maiden voyage, was it her maiden name or was she made in a country that couldn't shoulder the loss? this joke is getting kind of personal your laugh is like a scream that goes and goes and goes i'm less invincible than terminal your love is like a sore that grows and grows and grows this is a sign of my own design, my own demise and when i think this i think i shouldn't think this창?짝.. and when i think this, i think i shouldn't think this i never miss, i'm crossing names off a list i'm feeling nothing, i see nothing to shout about you'll never know exactly what you can't live without창?짝. and when i think this, i think i shouldn't think this i never miss, i'm crossing names off a list i'm feeling nothing, i see nothing to shout about you'll never know exactly what you can't live without창?짝 this joke is getting kind of personal your laugh is like a scream that goes and goes and goes i'm less invincible than terminal your love is like a sore that grows and grows and grows don't fucking touch me, don't even know i'm alive don't fucking touch me, don't even know i'm alive don't fucking touch me, don't even know i'm alive don't fucking touch me, don't even know i'm alive

adriana you never saw it coming

no time to think, much less react to the knife in your back
go burn a hole in the world , start walking
i'll be the one when i'm done double talking to you


take a second now, take the rest of your life
what's integrity when you can ooze on through to the other side?
if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
if i put my mind to it i can figure it out

if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
swarmed without end, how can you even pretend?
i'll stay you go. outside that i just don't know창?짝

go burn a hole in the world start walking
i'll be the one when i'm done double talking to you

take a second now, take the rest of your life
if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
what's integrity when you can ooze on through to the other side?



if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
everyone stop screaming

just wrap your teeth around me
and hold me to this line
(the next time you see, you'll see it will not be me
the next time you see, you'll see it will not be me)
these scars are ours for all time
what's integrity when you can ooze on through to the other side?

take a second now, take the rest of your life

if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
if i put my mind to it i can figure it out
if i put my mind to it i can figure it outif i put my mind to it i can figure it out

everyone is new and exciting
i never figured that we'd ever devolve
the closest one to me ain't living at all
everything is a breath of fresh air
true enough, 'cause that is where the fault lies
true enough, you're happy blaming fault lines
and you said your hair is short so your life's a disaster

that seems like freedom to me
true enough, that sex and death are you're breath
so do what you feel like
i can't account for the grief
but do it if it feels right

now these hooks are taking me apart
underneath the rockets red glare
it shouldn't be this hard to choose between
everything to win and everything to loose
true enough, you're happy blowing sunshine
true enough, that out of site is out of your mind
but it seems you'll hang yourself if you get enough slack, yeah


true enough, you're free to do what you please
that seems like freedom to me

so do what you feel like
i can't account for the grief

but do it if it feels right
everyone is new and exciting
everything is a breath of fresh air
the closest one to me ain't living at all
so do what you feel like

i never figured that we'd ever devolve
that seems like freedom to me
but do it if it feels righti can't account for the grief

just like a bolt of chewing gum come from out of the blue
you said you wouldn't come outside until the bum had passed through
i try to be a better man i try to stay in shape
i try to do my part to keep apart the church and state amagalmate
you don't know what you're doing to me
upon the mantle of my sink, ants die silently as
nobody knows how the story really goes
if you turn around and sniff you'll smell the scoop under your nose
my disposable me is feeling lonely today
you know that soon enough my body will be wasting away
but there is something that i'm wondering before i turn to shit
it's nothing really howdya like my tortured artist bit?

you're making a huge mistake mr. president
you're making a huge mistake mr. policeman
you're making a huge mistake mr. referee

michael since you left me i ain't got faith no more
we'll get high on the ride and we'll see what all the screaming is for
you are not real i am for real what the hell are you two doing here what's the fucking deal, huh?
you're not alive i am alive i had to wait for months and months for my prescription to arrive
and are you feeling any better or do you still feel the shame?
you will become something or something else or stay the same
and the people down the stairs have been trading shots all night
is this target practice or is this a real bloody fight man?

you're making a huge mistake mr. monolith
you're making a huge mistake mr. director
you're making a huge mistake mr. king's ransom

i know i said it, i don't regret it
"i wish that you would give me some credit"
i'd go again if i could, i said
it's not original to be hard
it's never easy to believe the things you tell me
when you're so far away
you're never wanting for confidence, i said

"i reassert my innocence and question all you relevance
and eloquence" it's not like you're moving elephants
i'm bigger that you
i see you buried under mountains and mountains of evidence
i exist on a different plain
i'm stronger than you
i know you want to but you're never gonna get in my brain

and after all it's not what you get but what you pay for
deep thoughts emotions and a hopelessness you never could feel
it's like i don't know anything anymore
and we be all about keeping it real, we got

you're never wanting for confidence, i said
"i reassert my innocence and question all you relevance
and eloquence" it's not like you're moving elephants
i see you buried under mountains and mountains of evidence

i'm bigger that you
i'm stronger than you
i know you want to but you're never gonna get in my brain
i exist on a different plain



i am the legion of indelibly pissed
i am the anger that you feel against the snapping of your own broken wrist
we'll feed the needy with bubble gum
i got no cares about your likes and your dislikes
and i can't wait until the president is a dyke
i'll be your solace when nobody else believes you
we'll give them records for their shelter when the trouble comes
i am the truth, yet i stand and deceive you
i'm coming all undid, i'm paranoid it's easy to see
i may look bad, but i'll bet no one's weaker than me
but in the end it is our struggle that defines us
and we know all and it's a struggle to confine us
i be the motherfucker mixing sprite and metaphors
i wanted blood i got so much more
'cause i fuck like a rockstar and you will be praising
god damn, oh fuck that's amazing

i'm bigger that you
i'm stronger than you
i exist on a different plain
i know you want to but you're never gonna get in my brain

i'm bigger that you
i exist on a different plain
i know you want to but you're never gonna get in my braini'm stronger than you

my head hurts, it always hurts when
i'm crowded like a brainless little piggy in an abetoire
but can you really blame them for thinking
and come the daylight, we'll make a monkey out of satan
armageddon's swiftly making plans to crash the party at midnight?
dusty rubble under double purple suns
and while the zealots start collecting two of every animal

and we'll know what we've never known
we'll see what we've never seen
and we'll say what we never say

isn't today like any other day?
is this the legacy you choose to leave behind?
is this the legacy that you will leave me?

and pull it back, boom and surprise you're alive
i can't believe we survived another new year
something i don't see happening, deaf embassy
of the new world order form opinions of their own
on their own and this monolithic coughing fit will take it's toll
and if you think about it hard enough you can make it go away

and we'll say what we never say
and we'll see what we've never seen
and we'll know what we've never known


is this the legacy you choose to leave behind?
isn't today like any other day?

bridge (sung vocal no words)
is this the legacy that you will leave me?


you'll watch the shot glasses fly as the kids all expectorate
in a bright yellow way wailing upward at the sky
down on the people walking under the bridge
"control, control, control, control"
in a mercy fight with time and we're losing창?짝
you'll buy and "end is near" t-shirt for thirty bucks and change
and the mothers holding babies holding bottles holding secrets

and we'll see what we've never seen
and we'll say what we never say
isn't today like any other day?
and we'll know what we've never known

is this the legacy that you will leave me? (2xis this the legacy you choose to leave behind?

would you expect any less from the people at the top?
for the beats, beats that go with losing any war,
taking lives in their hands, stringing all the losers up.
while the winners write the history books defeated die poor
more bereft of life than an old jackson pollack painting
cold and alone, dead and disintegrating,
before the hail of bullets there is silence, the pow
i can get with this and i can see it all now
it's not funny 'cause when you think you're on the a-tip you slip
it must be this fucking dark winter weather, i torture myself too much anyway
it's like when i'm feeling happy then i'm jealous of me
you said you didn't like my voice so i kept my jaw steeled
well, people say i hold out like a holden caulfield
fat mama cass it was hip automatically
it's too much i shook my head spa-spa-spazmatically

i erase the lines that you mend, "i've done it before", i said, "i'll do it again"
i erase the lines that you mend, "i've done it before", i said, "i'll do it again, do it again"

don't point that thing at me unless you want to use it
bark out abuses to the weakest at the back of the line
it's open season on the meek and the useless

but now you're staring out the t.v. with a smile on your face
squint, think and squeeze when you can see me and the whites of my eyes
predicting armageddon all over the place
and we're really sorry for all the mistakes we made
but now even if you could eat your own words you'd start a hunger strike
it's easy to control us if you keep us all afraid
kick sand up in my face like i'm a wheel guard on your dirt bike
the sicker the quicker, thicker, the fatter watch 'em all scatter
but here's the kicker, it doesn't matter
i've got my tongue in my cheek so far it makes me mute
heaven is a joke and hell is a lie, pay attention son 'cause these are words to live by
now watch me kick in the teeth of the track like my mind was a steel toe boot

i erase the lines that you mend, "i've done it before", i said, "i'll do it again"
i erase the lines that you mend, "i've done it before", i said, "i'll do it again, do it again"
don't point that thing at me unless you want to use it


bark out abuses to the weakest at the back of the line

it's open season on the meek and the useless
squint, think and squeeze when you can see me and the whites of my eyes
the undeniable is all about consumption

and anyone around and all the people in the street
the indescribable is up for discussion
they're pointing fingers and they're whispering discreetly
"who is that man? what's he done for his homeland?"
they all can see him, they know where he's going
he knows their hopes will fade without the strength of his hand
he feels so damn obvious that he must be glowing
he is ready for his sneak attack, he's gonna go do this shit and not look back
"i have the answers for the questions y'all been asking me,
i will relieve you of the burden of your six figure apathy,
i am the dynamite, i am the glue,
i never underestimate the enemy that's what you do
i never underestimate the enemy that's what you do
i never underestimate the enemy that's what you do

don't point that thing at me unless you want to use it

it's open season 'cause it's good, good, good.
don't point that thing at me unless you want to use it

it's open season on the meek and the useless
bark out abuses to the weakest at the back of the line
squint, think and squeeze when you can see me and the whites of my eyes

bark out abuses to the weakest at the back of the line
don't point that thing at me unless you want to use it
it's open season on the meek and the useless
squint, think and squeeze when you can see me and the whites of my eyes
