lyrics
Blame it on the people that you know
Blame it on history it still haunts you
Blame it on your Momma she’ll love you
Blame it on some other one
But I can’t watch you…
Burner, burn up I guess I’m just a fool in love (but i cant watch you)
burn up burn up - Guess im just a fool on drugs there’s nothing I can do but watch you...
Go, walk away. Maybe one day soon we can talk again
right now I’m wounded in lots of pain
Just trying to get through but you’re not to blame
Sorry baby I’m down in doom with a lots of hate
I'm lost in tunes with a trauma brain
We’re toxic fumes in a hall of flames
About to blow but round and round we go
If your living for the drama baby Momma we all know how that goes
It’s no excuse, you’re who i’m addicted to
I’ve had my fair share of abuse, there’s no way that I can lose again
Ever bin afraid, spent lonely nights living in my brain
just food for thought on the dinner plate
Learned to break life’s rules the sinners way
Without you I might disintegrate
You’re the drug that’s in my veins
I don’t know what I’m’a do might just
Burn up, burn up, I’m just a fool in love I cant watch you)
burn up burn up – I’m just a fool in love, there’s nothing I can do but watch you go
Go get away i gave my life to entertain
Demons inside I need to let escape minds held tight with Sellotape
It’s like every day is walking a tight rope
If you don’t deal with the trauma
baby mama we know how that goes
Sometimes we’re unbreakable sometimes it’s never enough
But so much to prove, so little time left to lose
I can not hold on to your noose it’s time to face the truth or will you
Blame the trauma that you hold
Blame it on the murders that you saw
Blame it on the horror that you know
Blame it on some other one… but I can’t watch you
Burn up, burn up, I’m just a fool in love I cant watch you)
burn up burn up – I’m just a fool in love, there’s nothing I can do but watch you go
We fell in love at first listen
Got me feeling like life was really worth living
The heroes that you made gave me words full of wisdom
Purpose and precision in every verse they was spitting
Then you change everything you all about
Let the game turn lame it was watered down
We had a falling out because I thought you better than that
Now everything’s whack and you can never go back
I watched them rape, steel, break and abuse you
Get rich and use you till it’s something that your use to
I’s on the fringe, They would never let me in
I could have saved hip hop and maybe we would still be friends
Ever bin afraid, watching your dreams take different shapes
all lost at sea in misery, squashed in defeat then drift away
I’m still insane spend most my life living in my brain
just food for thought on the dinner plate
still break life’s rule just to innovate
I’m still afraid, so much I use it to win again
It’s fuel I use it to spit these flames
For friends I knew who are in their graves
Its been a crazy roller coaster ride
I know is close to being over
I just don’t know what I’m s’pose to do I might just
Burn up, burn up, I’m just a fool in love I cant watch you)
burn up burn up – I’m just a fool in love, there’s nothing I can do but watch you go
