Everlast

[Verse 1] Pick up my wallet I picked up my jeans She said whats the problem I said that's the problem I been here for days Grinding my ass off Pulling my weight But you say it's not enough What a shame, I been here days trying to get it both ways And shawty use my currency just to burn it up As the currency, I just wanna know what's the plan Girl you got options, you don't gotta stay with me Only had a plan A, never had a plan B I'm a stick to them ropes that I know I need me a writer not need a fighter [Chorus] I just wanna be everlasting I don't wanna die inside It's hard to believe in my passion When you gotta tell some lies girl I wanna dream Don't shoot me down girl, please don't shoot me down girl Girl I wanna dream Don't bring me down girl, please don't bring me down girl Girl I wanna dream Don't shoot me down girl, please don't shoot me down girl Girl I wanna dream Keeping me stable girl you're such an anchor [Verse 2] Far from a perfect man, suit and ties ain't really my thing Shawty wants my net worth to be more than my self worth Every time I come around the city bling bling I just wanna know why The blood was on the leaves but you chose to hear the beat Oh can you tell me why Kids are starvin' in the street when the greed is what we eat Man It's fucked up Mama called on the phone like I miss her But I never tell her anything about my issues She said I'll be fine and I always wanna listen But I know the truth and you can't fool the youth I lied, I lied All the mother fucking time time Oh I said I lied, I lied Lied all the mother fucking time time [Chorus] I just wanna be everlasting I don't wanna die inside It's hard to believe in my passion When you gotta tell some lies girl I wanna dream Don't shoot me down girl, please don't shoot me down girl Girl I wanna dream Don't bring me down girl, please don't bring me down girl Girl I wanna dream Don't shoot me down girl, please don't shoot me down girl Girl I wanna dream Keeping me stable but you're such an anchor [Outro] Collect calls on my phone But she never ever picks up She's got my heart in a sticker And I think I'm sprung, sprung What do I do? Don't wanna take a loss but what I really want is you How can I love someone when I don't even love myself
