Lyrics

(Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean?)
 (Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean? Whatcha mean?)
 Look, I had a reoccurrin' dream really teasin' my mind
 A search for a better purpose to be perfectly in line
 A serpent is walkin', a surface is swervin', it's spewing lies
 I find, I'm watchin' my belt, I'm wastin' my time
 I swung high off the sky, from a tree to the vine
 To land on my feet, devious but dealin' with pride, I need a-
 I need a breather to catch up on my second wind and speed up
 Running from Hell, a speed demon
 A cell, a key jingling, jingling, jingling, a gun, bang bang
 They bang, you slain, insane, they playing they game
 I've been prayin' for things money could never buy
 Like live and die as a man, a coward dies a thousand times
 I'm outta sight and outta mind, I'm outta mind but don't mind it
 Salvagin' the silence 'til the cavalries arrivin'
 Balancin' a climate moving forward, lookin' up and then behind us
 If you love me, I can lead you where the light is
 Say what you love, it's alright
 Don't be afraid to find your light
 Embrace the day, like night
 We hear the fire, we all go wild again
 And you have the name of someone I love
 You said, just keep it true
 Lift up your name, seasons change
 You know it'll never be the same
 We'll see the sun again, and before it fades
 I just wanna say that I love you
 Pay the man, pay the man
 Look, run from my past like I run track, it's traumatic
 My palace is Polamalu, I'm grounded like getting sacked
 And I race demons like NASCAR, no assistance like NASCAR
 One step forward, two steps back watch when I'm at war
 And when it's raining
 We're sailing (At war)
 Oh yeah, we're sailing
 We're sailing
 I'm off the leash
 I go to war for peace
 I sleep with an eye open like I'm an ocular
 I'm the opposite of a carper with carpal tunnel
 Ain't never took a handout
 No tunnel vision to it got my planned route
 Like a cockroach in an ant farm I'ma stand out
 Clock'll tick like a doggy dancin' for foggy lantern
 How I look for light when recordin' stanzas, you know the answers
 Uncharted area, the pressure's no better medley
 Yet here I am, fallin' right where blind men led me
 Say what you love, it's alright
 Don't be afraid to find your light
 Embrace the day, like night
 We hear the fire, we all go wild again
 And you have the name of someone I love
 You said, just keep it true
 Lift up your name, seasons change
 You know it'll never be the same
 We'll see the sun again, and before it fades
 I just wanna say that I love you
 (Pay the man, pay the man)
 (Pay the man, pay the man)
 You got to pay the man, pay the man
 You got to pay the man, pay the man
 I was laughing real hard 'til my teeth fell out
 Was laughing real hard 'til my teeth fell out
 Was laughing real hard 'til my teeth fell out
 Need a little somethin', need a little somethin'
 ♪
 You said, just keep it true
 Lift up your name, seasons change
 You know it'll never be the same
 We'll see the sun again, and before it fades
 I just wanna say that I love you
 Can't you see, can't see me
 Can't see me, can't see me
 And can't see me, can't see me
 We all run when the light comes on
 Am I wrong, for wanting it all?
 But I warned you
