A tale of black dogs with golden leashes,
Broken stories told facetious,
Who′s the pet and who's the teacher
Hey, hey, hey, hey
All my friends are hurting but we dance it off, laugh it off,
Scars inside our shoes but we just tap it off, clap it off,
Watch me coat in rainbow as I fade into the black,
And see I switched myself to plastic,
Don′t know how to change it back,
I'm being eaten on the inside, at least I look like a snack,
I haven't come out of my shell but dont know how long till I crack,
Oo,
Do ya dance right,
Pop a xan right,
Fake romance right,
Live the trance right,
Smoke a plant right,
Miss a chance right,
Pray your hands right,
Dodge the glance right,
Doing whatever you do,
To make sure that you don′t get stuck in the truth,
The green will not change what you′re living from blue,
And when you come down that's a terrible view,
Kill the thought that everyone you know,
Could care about you slipping from control,
Embrace the blackness clouding on your soul,
And make it pretty deep inside your hole
I want to be your number one, you hold me to the sky,
I want to be your golden thorn, you love me till you die,
I want to be your shield and sword, you′ll never be the same,
I want to be your flesh and bone, you'll take me to the grave
My chest empty, my brain on fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)
I fight myself to pass the time
(Time, time, time, time)
He looks at me with crimson eyes
(Eye, eye, eye, eye)
Then hugs me with the greyest tide,
I see the darkness creeping through the peephole,
Felt the grip it had on all my people,
Heard the screams from park to slum to steeple,
Shining sugars dressed outside the evil,
Watch yourself,
Watch your way,
Life aint shit but a theatre play,
Learn your lines or get cut today,
Smile, don′t show no cavity,
Won't you save my soul, save my soul,
Let my body grow,
Putting together two blades of a feather
Then pulling apart just to put on a show, ah,
That′s how the story will go, ah
The dog with the blackest of bones, ah,
It rides on the back of my clothes ah,
And flocks with a murder like crows
I want to be your number one, you hold me to the sky,
I want to be your golden thorn, you love me till you die,
I want to be your shield and sword, you'll never be the same,
I want to be your flesh and bone, you'll take me to the grave
Side by side by side by side by side
Side by side by side by side by side
Side by side by side by side by side
Side by side by side by side by side
Side by side by side by side by side
Side by side by side by side by side
Side by side by side by side by side
Side, side, said we are
I want to be your number
One, you hold me to the sky,
I want to be your golden thorn, you love me till you die,
I want to be your shield and sword, you′ll never be the same,
I want to be your flesh and bone, you′ll take me to the grave
Young nigga shit nigga, we don't age
Young nigga shit nigga, we don′t age
Oh what, you don't know what you′re feeling (say it to me)
You tryna cope but you aint dealing (say it to me)
You see the cracks up in the ceiling (say it to me)
You wanna see when you start healing (say it to me
