[The day that I die]

 

One day I woke up
I woke up knowing
Today is the day I will die
Cashdogg was barking
Went to the park
And enjoyed it one last time
I called my mother
Told her I loved her
I begged her not to cry
I wrote a letter
I said I'd miss her
And I signed that goodbye
you know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die

Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I died)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I died)

We took a drive and…
We drove through DC
To see the places we lived
Our conversations
We talked of old friends
And all the things that we did
Summer nights
Drunken fights
mistakes we made
Did we live it right?

You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I died

Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I died)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone but I feel just fine (the day that I died)

you know the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life, is the day that I died

Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I died)
It sets, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I died)

Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
Did I live it right?

Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
I know I lived it right

 

[Emotionless]

Hey dad
I’m writing to you
not to tell you, that I still hate you
just to ask you
how you feel
and how we fell apart
how this fell apart
are you happy out there in this great wide world?
do you think about your sons?
do you miss your little girl?
when you lay your head down
how do you sleep at night?
do you even wonder if we’re all right?

but we’re all right
we’re all right

chorus:
it’s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother’s heart
you broke your children for life
it’s not ok,
but we’re all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now, I’m writing just to let you know that I’m still alive

the days I spent so cold, so hungry
were full of hate
I was so angry
those scars run deep inside this tattooed body
there’s things I’ll take, to my grave
but I’m okay
I’m okay

chorus:
it’s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother’s heart
you broke your children for life
it’s not ok,
but we’re all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I’m writing just to let you know that I’m still alive
yeah, I’m still alive

sometimes…
I forgive
yeah and this time
I’ll admit
that I miss you, said I miss you

Chorus:
it’s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother’s heart
you broke your children for life
it’s not ok,
but we’re all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I’m writing just to let you know that were still alive

and sometimes
I forgive
and this time
I’ll admit, that I miss you, miss you
hey dad

 

[I just wanna live]

 

I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are creeping about
These people are freaking me out (these days)
It's getting hectic everywhere that I go
They wont leave me alone
There's things they all wanna know

I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can't anyone see

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live (just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live)

I rock a law suit when I'm going to court
A white suit when I'm getting divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I'm home alone
Talking on the phone got an interview
With the Rolling Stone they're saying
"Now you're rich and now you're famous fake ass girls all know your name
And Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous your first hit aren?t you ashamed"
Of the life, of the life, of the life we're living

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

Stop your messing around boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said every one of my teachers
Look out better play it safe you'll never know what hard times will come your way
We say where you coming from we've already seen the world
So just walk this way

Now we get expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

 

[ The Anthem ]

 

Walking on the streets of D.C.,
On the eastcoast where I live, You say what's the problem
What's with this angry kid
You don't like the way I walk, Or the way I talk,
Or the way I swing my hands,
You don't like the words I speak, or the thoughts I think
And I know you'll understand

[Chorus]
You know-
On the eastcoast, we ride until we die-
You know,
Well there's a place inside my mind,
Yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind, We'll leave today
[Chorus Ends]

Wouldn't it be perfect if I could sit with you?
And we would change a thing or 2, we would change a thing or 2,
We would change the way you think, we would change the way I think,
We can't change the way they think so we're not changin' anything

[Chorus]
[Chorus Ends]

On the eastcoast we ride, until the day we die

[ Boys and Girls ]

 

 

Educated
With money
He's well dressed
Not funny
And not much to say in
Most conversations
But he'll foot the bill in
Most situations
Cause he pays for everything

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny

Paper
Or plastic
Don't matter
She'll have it
Vacations
And shopping sprees
These are a few
Of her favorite things
She'll get what she wants
If she's willing to please
His type of girl
Always comes with a fee
Hey, now, there's nothing for free

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

Let's go!
Eh, eh!

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world

 

[ Don't wanna stop ]

 

Well all these games you play
You're messin with my head
[You're messin with my head]

And I don't why I'll stay
I should leave instead
[I should leave instead]

When I speak from my heart
You laugh like it's a game
[Well this ain't no game]

Yeah, we make great friends
But it just isn't the same
Ohhhhh

And I know
This is not the way to be
And I know you treat him like me
[Badoobie-doobie-doobie-doo]
But I don't wanna stop

[CHORUS]
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop

Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop

And I don't need you to buy me pretty things
[You don't pay for me]
Pay for my tatoos or buy me diamond rings
[I don't want those things]

All I know is that I'm happy to smile
[I wanna see you smile]
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay for a while

[CHORUS]
And I know
This is not the way to be
And I know you treat him like me
[Badoobie-doobie-doobie-doo]
But I don't wanna stop

Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop

Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop

Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I never wanna stop

Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I never wanna stop

 

 

[ Hold on ]

 

This world
This world is cold
But you don't
You don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely, and no one seems to care
You're mother's gone and your father hates you
This pain you cannot bear

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know

Your days
You say they're way too long
And your nights
You can't sleep at all
And you're not sure what you're waiting for, but you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're looking for, but you don't want to no more

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on

What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead...What are you waiting for?

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Hold on
