lyrics

Is it so hard to see the light?
Where grass grows on the other side
But you'd rather sell your soul for the gold

Try not to look ashamed this time
You could throw your hate away
And we won't forget the stories you've told

If there's a will there's a way
You'll need smoke and a flame
To pass the torch along
I hope you're not looking to me for advice
The things you say they just still blow my mind

Well they say you still try to get around
And you've become a house hold name in this town, until now
You should learn to watch your back, until now
You should learn how to relax and just see how it sounded
Maybe we'll work around it

Does that sound like freedom?
Does it look like me?
If it's not your mission
Then we disagree, whole-heartedly
With ill intention
Pumping through your veins
But if you can't feel the same
An empty promise in your name
That don't mean nothing

But if you're the one who's lighting it up, don't you light it the wrong way
And if you're the one who's shooting it up, don't you do it around me
And if you're the one who acted alone
But ain't man enough to do it at home
If you're the one who's lighting it up, don't you light it the wrong way
No pressure

Is it so hard to speak  the truth?
The profiteers are living proof, but you'd rather lie to us through their teeth
And what crooked teeth they are!
And unlike your personality
The tricky ways in my face won't get the best of me
Cuz I think critically, while the trial by jury is hung instantly

And if there's a will there's a way
You'll need smoke and a flame
To pass the torch along
I hope you're not looking to me for advice
The things you say they just still blow my mind

Well they say you still try to get around
You've become a house hold name in this town, until now
You should learn to watch your back, until now
You learn how to relax and just see how it sounded

Could you love that freedom and take it seriously?
If it's not your fit then agree to disagree, when colors bleed
And leave no fabric with no seam to sew
This new way we can go
Not carving everything in stone
Well, if you say so

But if you're the one who's lighting it up, don't you light it the wrong way
And if you're the one who's shooting it up, don't you do it around me
And if you're the one who acted alone
But ain't man enough to do it at home
If you're the one who's lighting it up, don't you light it the wrong way
No pressure
