Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome Even though you're tryin' to hold me back You don't get no mail you know I'm in jail Fare thee well, my brother, please don't stand in my way I'm goin' down to that dirty town no matter what you say You fooled me

Skyscrapers, earth movers, ground breakers We are justice fighters with faces of fire Fight the avalanche You'll be buried every time We run and run and run Little do we know We have only what we're given Our footsteps, bringing purpose, changing history

'Cause all you people are arevampires And all your stories are arestale And though you pretend to stand by us I know you're certain we'll fail I've seen your eyes as they fix on me What is he doing What on earth's the plan, has he got one You better give me

You don't know how beautiful you are You're never ready and you need more time You don't see what I see when I look at you girl It's so perfect You didn't see me walkin' in You were lookin' in the mirror and You looked perfect Hadn't put on your makeup

We're on fire now We are on fire I don't care what people say when we're together You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep I just want it to be you and I forever I know you wanna leave So c'mon baby be with me Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The reasons that I can't stay, don't have a thing to do with being in love I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time You ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind Here we are What is left of a husband and a wife with four

I don't wanna finish what we started I never should've let you in You thought I was an easy target Now I know who you are, who the devil is You can try to take my salvation You can try to take everything I'm not asleep to your temptation 'Cause I know

How's it goin' down? If it's on 'til we gone then I gots to know now Is you wit' me or what? What type of games are arebein' played? A lot of niggas cut the cheque so they can take this flow What these bitches want from a nigga? On some DMX shit I grew weak

But we are best friends right? You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette You know what all my faces mean Everything that happened in between Because we are best friends right? I can't wait to get away from you Unsurprisingly you hate me too We only communicate

You know that I care What happens to you And I know that you care So I don't feel alone Or the weight of the stone Now that I've found somewhere safe To bury my bone And any fool knows a dog needs a home A shelter from pigs on the wing
