Verse 1
I’m feelin’ somethin’ is changin’
I’m feelin’ it all the time
Nothin’ is standin’ in my way goin’ forward, I’m the man this time
Verse 2
They tell me I ain’t nothing
Well the man doesn’t care
I’m movin’ forward my chest puffed out and I can go anywhere
Chorus
Oh no they can’t take it
Workin’ my ass off just so that I can make it
Little do they know
I’m the man, I’m the man I’m supposed to be
Verse 3
I used to walk so slowly
Now they can’t count my steps
This man is walking for a purpose, he just ain’t done yet
Chorus
Oh no they can’t take it
Workin’ my ass off just so that I can make it
Little do they know
I’m the man, I’m the man I’m supposed to be
Bridge
Road blocks each day, moving forward anyway
Just goes to show, I can do it on my own
Can't hold me back, I'm so over that
Watch me here I go, I'm the man that I know
Chorus
Oh no they can’t take it
Workin’ my ass off just so that I can make it
Little do they know
I’m the man, I’m the man I’m supposed to be
I’m the man I’m supposed to be
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man

Verse 1
Colors swimming in my mind. Blacks and greys only all the time.
Mix them up, what do you see? The loneliest, saddest melody.
Verse 2
Tryna change the colors in my head. Need to get back to the blues and greens instead.
Mix them up, what do you see? Toxic, this reality.
Chorus
Feet finally touch the ground, Lord knows I’m never coming down
I can see clearly now, the grays and black are gone somehow
Verse 3
Dive right in the color storm. Trust me it’s cold and black and warm.
Mix them up, what do you see? The loneliest, saddest melody.
Chorus
Feet finally touch the ground, Lord knows I’m never coming down
I can see clearly now, the grays and black are gone somehow

Verse 1
No reason to apologize… I guess you don’t have time
Time for all the simple things, whatever that means
With everything going on I guess? You think your life’s a mess
BUT IT’S NOT!
Chorus
I know, I know, I gotta say, I can’t think of any other way
I’ll just go for it I guess, I just think my life is more a mess!
Verse 2
You asked me how to get your song, here come sing along
I guess I didn’t make the cut, you bein’ busy all and what…
With everything going on I guess? You think your life’s a mess
BUT IT’S NOT!
Chorus
I know, I know, I gotta say, I can’t think of any other way
I’ll just go for it I guess, I just think my life is more a mess!
I know, I know, I know, I know I just gotta say HELL NO!

Real You
02:12
|

|
Verse 1
That face you make when you know that I don’t care
Makes you feel like life is so unfair
You try to hide your eyes, the sadness and the lies
But nobody knows the real you that’s inside
Verse 2
You are mad nobody notice you
Trying to give a little attitude
You try to hide your lies, you hate and you despise
But nobody knows the real you that’s inside
Pre-Chorus
OK hunny, OK hunny
Chorus
Iiiiii, got to say, nobody wants the fake you anyway
Iiiiii, got to say, you never looked good on me anyway
Verse 4
No makeup can cover your new scars
That you gave yourself, trying to stand out large
We both know what’s real, you’re not a big deal
Pretending to be somebody that you’re not
Pre-Chorus
OK hunny, OK hunny
Chorus
Iiiiii, got to say, nobody wants the fake you anyway
Iiiiii, got to say, you never looked good on me anyway

Verse 1
I’m strung up for days, it’s weird nobody seems to get that phase
A Euphoria state, oh my god I love it that way
A Euphoria state
I love it that way
Verse 2
Somethin’s goin’ on, I’ve been sittin’ on my hands for so long
I’m takin off – no stoppin’, my god I should do this more often
I should do this more often
And I’m not stoppin’
I should do this more often
Verse 3
You gotta tread real lightly, my god it can be very frightnin’
Never lost my way, just waitin’ on those Euphoria’ days
Never lost my way
Hangin’ on today
For my Euphoria ways

Got the nerve to tell me “you’re not that drunk”
Cheap champagne runnin’ through your veins
Slam your drink and let’s go run away
Runnin’ through your veins
Verse 2
If I left, what would you do?
That wicked wine got enough of you
Rippin’ ShotSkis down the hall
Boy this girl loves her alcohol
What would you do?
It’s got enough of you
