Pen And Paper

[Verse 1: DJ Clay]
Sometimes, some of the things that I write about
Really don't mean nothin', I'm just fightin' out
So I'm bleedin' this ink into this paper towel
At least until it tears or 'til I'm tired out
I try to put feelings into these words that I write
'Cause I know that these words are a part of my life
Just like you, you're always all in my mind
That's why you'll always hear this voice even after I die
But don't cry, this isn't even that type of song
This is only somethin' comin' off the top of my dome
Somethin' that I thought of when I was alone at my home
Just a pen and a paper, just some weed in a bong
And if you really want to then, you can all come along
Ain't even gotta try hard, 'cause you're in every song
I ain't even puttin' thought into this sentence I'm on
Could speak on anything I want, even if it's all wrong
So I'ma leave you with this verse and an answer unknown
Do you think that if I jumped, would you all come along?

[Chorus]
When the light goes out in my eyes and I write with this pen
It takes my pain away
It's crazy, it saves me, don't blame me
When the light goes out in my eyes and I write with this pen
It takes my pain away
It's crazy, it saves me, don't blame me

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, some of the things that I write about
Really mean a lot to me and I'll put a lot of thought
I'll put real shit in it, like when homies got shot
I'll make truth come out this ink if you like it or not
I'll put private family matters in my songs if I want
'Cause this is my pen and paper, this my CD it's on
And I'ma keep movin' on and the haters stare hard
'Cause I know there's people out there that can't wait 'til I'm gone
That's just the shit that I'm on, and I can see through the fog
That's why the lines that's on a paper keep my hands off this gun
And most people feel the same way, it's just somethin' I know
Wrote it on a piece of paper, but it's still from my heart
So I'ma leave you with this verse and an answer unknown
When it's time to put in work, are you ridin' along?

[Chorus]
When the light goes out in my eyes and I write with this pen
It takes my pain away
It's crazy, it saves me, don't blame me
When the light goes out in my eyes and I write with this pen
It takes my pain away
It's crazy, it saves me, don't blame me

[Verse 3]
Sometimes, some of the things that I write about
Make me think and make me wanna write somethin' else
And I know that I could, but let the pen take its course
That's why I write down anything and everything that I want
Yeah, it's cool, you can say that I've offended you
But it's the ink, and seven times out of ten, it's true
See, when I write, I say shit that won't come out my mouth
But don't mistake it for the shit I'm about
Fuck, I think the ink in this pen is runnin' out
'Cause the lyrics on this paper are starting to fade out
Now I'm leavin' this verse with an answer unknown
If I didn't have this paper, would you know who I was?

[Chorus]
When the light goes out in my eyes and I write with this pen
It takes my pain away
It's crazy, it saves me, don't blame me
When the light goes out in my eyes and I write with this pen
It takes my pain away
It's crazy, it saves me, don't blame me

[Outro]
It's crazy
It's crazy
Don't blame me, yeah
It saves me, oh oh
Don't blame me, yeah
Don't blame me, yeah
It's crazy
Don't blame me, yeah
It saves me, oh oh
