VERSE 1
Shake it off, shake off the feeling
That notions helpless without you, so get back to believing
It’s a straight up hustle, you get to pay to bow
If you keep it in play, you’ll never see your happy ending out
Tune it out, I said, tune out the static
Don’t let it loose in your mind, And take the place of your logic
Losers give opinions, on winning and success
Whatever gets them talking, that’s what separates you from the rest
Ask what you have... everything
Ask what you’re worth... I’d say everything
if you don’t know that, it’s not worth a thing
And those tears will flow, with each hurtful sting
CHORUS
Where you go do they know of your dignity
And the way you defend those you love
Or the quickness of your generousity
Are these true friends that you’re speaking of,
Get it on, get on with living.
You owe nobody a thing, good has been long in the coming
So like headless chickens, let them run amok
Trying to figure out exactly how you came by such amazing luck
What would they give... everything
To be where you are... I’d say everything
if you don’t know that, it’s not anything
But how gentle hearts get to struggling
MID 8
You’re gonna say, say I’m wrong, then try to ask me more, whys and wherefores,
It’s just the way it is, the way it’s always been.
You make it hard, Or not at all
Just as simple as you want it to be
