This City

I need some peace
I need some sleep
I need a reason to get up and leave
Something to get me out of this city
I need some love
Straight from the heavens
Sent from above
I’ve been low down here in this city
No one to wipe these tears that fall
No one to call
I look to the sky
Wonder if anyone can see me cry
Sick of living in fear
Shots out my windows
Death may be near
I still look to the sky
But, I don’t why
I need some peace
I need some sleep
I need a reason to get up and leave
Something to get me out of this city
I need some love
Straight from the heavens
Sent from above
I’ve been low down here in this city
Can anyone out there hear my cries
Late in the night
Sending soldiers to fight
That don’t seem right
When there’s fighting outside
Right here countryside
I still look to the sky
I don’t why
I need some peace
I need some sleep
I need a reason to get up and leave
Something to get me out of this city
I need some love
Straight from the heavens
Sent from above
I’ve been low down here in this city

I am not the enemy
Neither are you
We’re all a part of something bigger than us two
If pain is weakness leaving me
Then I should be so strong
Watched our people suffer for way too long
..And I can only write a song about it
When I should do more
Is the fight only worth it when there’s something in store
They are not the enemy
Neither are you
We’re all a part of something bigger than us two
If pain is weakness leaving me
Then I should be so strong
Watched those people suffer for way too long
..And I can only write a song about it
When I should do more
Is the fight only worth it when there’s something in store
They’re not for looking for a savior
Just a helping hand
Are the views only worth it when we post it on the gram?
..And I can only write a song about it

Real Ones

Angel on my shoulder
But the devil keeps calling me
Another year older
But not wise enough to see
Not everyone is on my side
The grass is where the snakes will hide
Sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s on your side
If the good luck ever dries up
Who’s down to ride
I got your back
Do you have mine
You find your real friends
When you fall on hard times
This one's for my real ones
Angel on my shoulder
But the devil keeps calling me
Thought I was a soldier
But pride it makes me weak
Not everyone is on my side
The grass is where the snakes will hide
Sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s on your side
If the good luck ever dries up
Who’s down to ride
I got your back
Do you have mine
You find your real friends
When you fall on hard times
This one's for my real ones

Never Let Go

You had me by the fingertips
Coke and whiskey on your lips
I know for sure
That you wanna do more
I know because you told me so
Grabbed my hands I let you take control
You never let go
You never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
After all these years you’re by my side
Ooo you’re my ride or die
You make me feel so alive
I wanna treat you right
All my life
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go of you

We're Not So Different

My head aches from all this fighting
All this yelling and all this crying
Oh I’m hoping things become clear
If we love one another then we never have to live in fear
He’s my brother, he’s my friend
We’re the same, different shades of skin
Oh I’m hoping they all can see
If we love one another then we all can live in peace
We all need the same things to get by
A hand to hold to guide us through the night
Just play a song we all recall
You’d see we’re no so different after all
If you’re ever in trouble call on me
I’ll be there in a hurry
Oh I’m hoping I can do the same
If we help one another we can make it through this rain
We all need the same things to get by
A hand to hold to guide us through the night
Just play a song we all recall
We’re really not that different after all
