COME UP WITH AN EXCUSE

[Intro]
Aw man, aw man
Twenty-two (Ch-ch-ch-Chase)
Yeah
Knock me down but I still get up
What's the deal? Can't feel the love
If I never blew would you be my buzz?
Be my crutch
Lean on me, I'll lean on you
I've got a heart, I'll free it up
Look in my eyes, don't play
I try hard but I can't hide this pain
Can't hide behind my smile today

[Verse 1]
I've got issues
Couple trust issues
Couple love issues
Little bit of drug misuse
I don't need your tears, thanks
I ain't preying on tissues
I just need the years back
Now we're back to my issue
Likе you know when the past just grips you
Takes you back, ovеrlaps, then flips you
If my younger self could see me now
Would he be proud?
All I ever wanted was to be loud
For all of the times I was down and out
Couple things I'm drowning out
Think I'm drowning now
I hear the rain, it's pounding down
Yeah, look

[Chorus]
Tryna come up with an excuse
Escape and rescue
Like don't let the badness tempt you
Don't let you're guard down, bro, they'll get you
And I know there's things that stress you
But there's still things that I can't explain, yeah

[Verse 2]
Listen, look
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
So I'm writing songs tryna fill this void
When I was a kid, man, I never had a voice
So nowadays, you wonder why I make a lot a noise
Couple of my bruddas dem be playing with the toys
Couple of my bruddas dem in trouble with the boys
Couple of the snakes got their venom and they're poised
If they were to see me fall they would be rejoiced
Let it breathe
These melodies
Serve their purpose as a remedy
Take me out of my vessel
Sometimes you gotta let shit be
At times life feel like a test indeed
And it's testing me
I can say with my chest that me and bros gonna make it I bet that we gonna tear it up
Remember the days they was airing us
You can try, my brudda, you ain't scaring us
Don't care enough
Wanna share the love
But your need and your greed gonna tear you up
I would bleed on street for the ones I love
When the sun comes up
Have I done enough?
I don't know, I just know I won't fuck it up for you

[Outro]
Ay, you just gotta really not take shit for granted
This life's crazy
One minute you got everything, yeah, but the next minute, its all gone with a blink of an eye
It's peak
