These are dark times Can you not feel yourself falling deeper? You've given yourself away Mistakes of the past are haunting me And I've given myself away All the walls are coming down I'm exposed, I'm alive This is my chance to breathe All my thoughts

I've given up Wash it all away I'm wasting here I'm waiting here For anyone to wash it all away All of the chaos And all of the lies Can anyone wash it all away?

If you only hadn't given me up And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) (Only hadn't given me up, me up) Run if you like All of the things that you left behind Hold me down You can't deny and I can't deny Open your eyes

My best friend, queen of my world, my momma Oh, precious in diamonds and pearls, my momma You sacrificed so much to raise a child C'mon, baby now I just want to see you happy, see you smile All you given me, I can't repay But I'mma honor you today and

I've given up I'm sick of feeling Is there nothing you can say? Take this all away I'm suffocating! I'm my own worst enemy Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me Put me out of my misery Wake in a sweat again

Now you're here and everything's changing Suddenly life means so much I can't wait to wake up tomorrow And find out this promise is true I will never have to go back to The day before you I had all but given up On finding the one that I could fall into

I've given up Wash it all away I'm wasting here I'm waiting here For anyone to wash it all away All of the chaos And all of the lies Can anyone wash it all away?

Oh and a woo-hoo I can feel 'em flyin' Yeah it's all we've been given, Like a hand out the window in the wind. The cars go by, So you better start livin' right now 'Cause days go by, And days go by, Take 'em by the hand,

Stand up, get up Tomorrow can wait Dance all through the night Stuck inside a box You gotta get out! Live your life now come on! Live life given now Sleeping all day

I'm high now, I'm high now (I don't think I can find a way to make it on this earth) Why God, why God do I gotta suffer? Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax What's up family, yeah it's yo cousin Carl man, just given' you a call man I know you
