A Thousand Times

I just wanna make bands
I don’t wanna die young
Too busy chasing riches
To see people switching

Talk is cheap I’m sick of people
Dealing it like it means nothing
Heard it a thousand times from you
It never made a difference

All my thoughts are just sounding like noise
Thrown about, left me broken, destroyed
Rugs you pull, seemed to do it for joy
Fall too easy, then think after too much

Had to believe in myself
When they all put me on the shelf
When I die, it be with a smile, with a shine in my eye
Coz I gave it my all

In my head say ‘won’t let myself fall’
Bomb exploded from something so small
Still be treating old wounds that are sore
Foot on the game, now I’ve sunk in my claws

They say the top is hella lonely
Planned ahead & cut out all the phonies
Ever since I dropped ‘You Don’t Own Me’
They know they can’t control me

Do you feel better now that you’ve aired it out?
Spoke about, our business to everyone around
I done found out through word of mouth
Saying it’s all my fault, well I have my doubts

I know you told me that you’ve got your reasons
But don’t paint the picture like I was a demon
Brushing over all the deets, not with deceiving
How to own it all is where I plot & scheming

I just wanna make bands
I don’t wanna die young
Too busy chasing riches
To see people switching

Talk is cheap I’m sick of people
Dealing it like it means nothing
Heard it a thousand times from you
It never made a difference

Where was you when I needed you?
You see me calling but you don’t pick up
Looking how quick you forgot bout me
It’s made it harder just to trust

Phone hit tone, no time for a bitch
DND 24/7 this shit
Dug up the skeleton, made it my bitch
Head in the sand, now I’m living in bliss

Flicking us on & off like we’re a switch
I’m way too old for this shit
Mix up the signals, she pick & she mix
I do what I do & you do as you wish

I wish I could say, that I never miss
The smallest of moments that pass us by quick
All the small things, I cannot forget
Connecting like pixels on 1080 pics

Why did you have to do that?
You laughed when I had broke down
Promise I won’t ever get that
Low again, over someone who sits back

I just wanna make bands
I don’t wanna die young
Too busy chasing riches
To see people switching

Talk is cheap I’m sick of people
Dealing it like it means nothing
Heard it a thousand times from you
It never made a difference

Where was you when I needed you?
You see me calling but you don’t pick up
Looking how quick you forgot bout me
It’s made it harder just to trust
