Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What you need? What you need?
What you need, man? What you need?
What you need? Yeah, what you see?
What you see? Yeah, oh no
[Verse 2]
Well, I need a little something to cool my head off
Need a little something to cool my head off
Yeah, need a little something because I've been running from a truce
We'll never lose
Lies come from loose teeth tied to the noose
I'm climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
All the things I've seen, but have chosen to ignore, mmm
[Verse 3]
Well, I said
Well, I believe I've been well fed, yeah
But the wolf's not dead
[Verse 4]
Say what you love, it's alright
Don't be afraid to find your light
Embrace the day like night
We're here to fight, we all go wild again
And you have the name of someone I love
[Verse 5]
You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name, seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again
And before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you, mmm
[Verse 6]
Pay the man, pay the man
Got to pay the man, run as fast as you can
[Verse 7]
Call out to God praise to the Most High
Call out for help 'cause I'm playing with fire
Call out on mountains till my voice goes faint
Echoes through time and comes back with new strength
[Verse 8]
And when it's raining, we're sailing
Oh yeah, we're sailing, we're sailing
I'm off the leash, I go to war for peace
'Cause I've been touching everything that I can I got blood on my hands
Guess I'm going deaf from what the crowd is sayin'
Ah, please, forgive me I don't understand
Well, we all believe we've been well fed, yeah
[Verse 9]
The deaf man heard what the mute man said
Then they all followed where the blind man led
[Verse 10]
Say what you love, it's alright
Don't be afraid to find your light
Embrace the day like night
We're here to fight, we all go wild again
And you have the name of someone I love
[Verse 11]
You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name, seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again
And before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you, mmm
[Verse 12]
(Pay the man, pay the man, you got to)
Pay the man, pay the man, you got to, pay the man, pay the man
[Verse 13]
Well, I was laughing real hard till my teeth fell out
Laughing real hard till my teeth fell out
I was laughing real hard till my teeth fell out
Need a little something, yeah, need a little something
[Verse 14]
You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name, seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again
And before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you, mmm
[Verse 15]
Can't you see?
Can't see me
Can't see me
Can't see me
Can't see me
Can't see me
We all run when the light comes on, am I wrong?
For wanting it all, but I warned you, mmm
