Ain't Your Mama
04:05

Everyday you live through a mother's hands
You never stand but in your own two shoes
Look at us through a dirty glass
Who's gonna be the one to move?
"Have a sense of pride," she said to him
"Open up your eyes," she said to him
Take the bag off your head, the smoke out your mouth and live up to your word
Everyday you live a lie
You don't ask why
On your own, on your own
Now is now and you are you
Don't waste my time, sit through it
You're right here, be right there
Why do you just sit right here and
Waste my time it's not just like
That is that and you are you
Don't cheat yourself just do it
He ain't your mama!
Take the trash out
He ain't your mama!
Smack the fool outta your mouth
He ain't your mama!
Take the trash out
He ain't your mama!
Smack the fool outta your mouth
Write this down so you can do it without nag nag nagging me all of the time
Oh I'll tell you once, won't tell you twice
But that grown ass man won't heed advice
I'm tired...
Why do you just sit right here and
Waste my time it's not just like
That is that and you are you
Don't cheat yourself just do it
He ain't your mama!
Take the trash out
He ain't your mama!
Smack the fool outta your mouth
He ain't your mama!
Take the trash out
He ain't your mama!
Smack the fool outta your mouth
Write this down so you can do it without nag nag nagging me on
Oh I'll tell you once, won't tell you twice
But that grown ass man won't heed advice
I'm tired, so tired
Oh no!
He ain't your mama!
Take the trash out
He ain't your mama!
Smack the fool outta your mouth
He ain't your mama!
Take the trash out
He ain't your mama!
Smack the fool outta your mouth
Write this down so you can do it without nag nag nagging me on
Oh I'll tell you once, won't tell you twice
But that grown ass man won't heed advice
I'm tired

Half His Heart
04:32
|
|||
Hold his hand here, half his heart has been
Bending, breaking, because it's free
Free from the fickle fear of freaking from the scene
Serenity is certainty
Turning time tables to the times before
War was waging here at our doors
Doing the devil's deeds to cast a shadow
Against the dark wall before we fall
Time casts a shadow on a really think wall but
I'm taking time, taking time, taking time now
Time casts a shadow on a really think wall but
I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now ticking
I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now
I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now ticking
I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now
I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now ticking
I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now
Hold his hand here, half his heart has been
Bending, breaking, because it's free
Free from the fickle fear of freaking from the scene
Chances are that goodness still succeeds
At living in our basic needs
No matter how long it's been since you've seen me
I am still yours
Serenity.

White Flag
03:01
|
|||
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
Destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
But if you live by the rules of it's over
Then I'm sure that that makes sense
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
And I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

You Do You

Please don't tell me how you school me and rule me
Cause I am my own, this sound is my thrown
I sit upon it high and reach for the clouded sky
There is peace in me, more than you would believe
The shape and time you explain as the right way
It's your way, it's not my way
Mold me, scold me, call me out
No just hold me
There is peace in me more than you believe
Black tie, black shoes, kick it
The snooze, six more times before I fade out
Black tie, black shoes, kick it
The snooze, six more times before I fade out
So don't show me how you school me and rule me
Cause I am my own, this sound is my thrown
I sit upon it high and reach for the clouded sky
There is peace in me, more than you would believe
The shape and time you explain as the right way
It's your way, it's not my way
Mold me, scold me, call me out
No just hold me
There is peace in me more than you believe
Black tie, black shoes, kick it
The snooze, six more times before I fade out
Black tie, black shoes, kick it
The snooze, six more times before I fade out
Oh black tie
