Lyrics

[Intro]
Who I'ma turn to a pack, huh
Run it up, run it up, match it, huh
I gotta run it and crash it, huh
Heart in me blacker than magic, huh
[Verse 1]
Lunacy
Stirred in me
Turn to the darkness
No run from the darkness
The opp, he a-watches
I cry, healed, and cried
I lost him, I lost them
A body, a coffin
[PreChorus]
Just tell me you ready
I'll go when I'm ready
You'll live when I'm ready
Oh, God, will you hear me?
[Chorus]
Ooh, ah
I clean the blood with my name
Turn to a god that would turn me away
Ooh, ah
O.T., O.T., no one time
One time, one time, one time, one time
[Verse 2]
Count 'em up fast
A body, a bag
Look at him now
I knew it was death
The gun in the Ranger
You was in danger
I needed a savior
Somebody to save us
[Bridge]
Turn the lights on
I need to leave, my heart knows waiver
Poured everything I had and still I need for you
Say ooh
Say I need, I need, I need, I needed you
[Chorus]
Ooh, ah
I clean the blood with my name
Turn to a god that would turn me away
Ooh, ah
I leave my body in vain
Bless me in life, turn my pride into pain
Ooh, ah
O.T., O.T., no one time
One time, one time, one time, one time
[Outro]
A kin to me now
A friend in my enemy now
I'm thumbing through cash on a plane
I sweeten a bitter me now
Thou who shall cross my path shall never prosper
You'd rather die in vain than to die a man
I can't relate
