The Red Lyrics
[Intro]
Please no, please no
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
I just wanna forget
14, 14
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
I just wanna forget
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
14, 14
[Verse 1]
Hey mate, these bitches making me wish that I still got faded
From the cradle straight to mental slavery
Ain't got no Plan B, I got sisters, gotta protect ’em
Don't get it twisted
You in my way, and I'm at your neck kid
Permanently effected by all the hectic shit that reckless men did
No understanding from these privileged bitches
Stacking shekels to act permanently offended
Paid from services rendered
The violence, it wasn’t gendered
Male and female offenders
But I never surrendered
Infected by memories that I wish I never remembered
Get the fuck out my head
I can't sleep, rollin' 'round in my bed
10 years and I can still see the red
Horizontal cuts but shoulda cut vertical instead
And made it terminal, dead
[Chorus]
Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
I just wanna forget
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
[Bridge]
Get the fuck out my head
I can't sleep, rollin' 'round in my bed
10 years and I can still see the red
Horizontal cuts but shoulda cut vertical instead
And made it terminal, dead
[Chorus]
Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
I just wanna forget
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
[Outro]
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
14, 14, Romeo, Juliet
I just wanna forget
I just wanna forget
I just wanna forget
14, 14, 14, 14
14, 14, 14, 14
