allen stone - american privilege

(Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Cash that paycheck, spend it all)

Verse 1
Oh, it doesn't seem right
That I, I was born White
And my parents don't fight
Told me they loved me each night
I, I don't lose sleep
For the kids sewing my sheets
Or the ones stitching my sneaks
As long as I can buy 'em both cheap, well

Chorus 1
American privilege
Is blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
American privilege
Is blurring my vision
Inherited sickness

Verse 2
Everyday I piss money away
I'm a material slave
Just trying to polish this ball and this chain
Cause I, I dont think twice, no
Just keep it outta my sight, oh
Bitch, don't kill my vibe, no
Bitch, don't kill my vibe, well

Chorus 2
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness
American privilege
Keeps blurring my vision
Inherited sickness

Bridge
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Cash that paycheck, spend it all
Build that house up big and tall
Robbing Peter to pay Paul

(Robbing Peter to pay Paul)
As long as I stay comfortable
(Cash that paycheck, spend it all)
Build that house up big and tall
(Build that house up, big and tall)
?
(Robbing Peter to pay Paul)
As long as I stay comfortable

Chorus 2

allen stone - better off this way

I always catch you when you fall,
And I am always there when life's mountains seem too tall,
And I give you space, but I always hear your call,
Maybe I'll be better after all,

And you never catch me when I fall,
Oh, and you never go out of your way to make me feel beautiful,
You're my baby and I am your fool,
Maybe I'll be better without you,
Maybe I'll be better without you,

Done, giving you my heart when your heart's with someone else,
And 'cause I'm done putting you first when you only care
'bout yourself, yeah,
And I'm tired of begging you to stay,
Maybe I'll be better off this way,
Maybe I'll be better off this way,

And you never catch me when I slip,
Oh, but I know tonight some other man gonna be kissin'
on your lips,
That same man thinks that you're just candy on his wrist,
There's gotta be something better than this,
There's gotta be something better than this, oh,

Done, giving you my heart when your heart's with someone else,
And 'cause I'm done putting you first when you only care
'bout yourself, yeah,
And I'm tired of begging you to stay,
Maybe I'll be better off this way,

Oh, 'cause I'm done giving you my heart when
your heart's with someone else,
Oh, 'cause I'm done putting you first when
you only care 'bout yourself, yeah,
And I'm tired of begging you to stay,
Maybe I'll be better off this way,
Maybe I'll be better off this way.

allen stone - last to speak

I know exactly where we're headed,
Science won't give god any credit,
And the church says as long the prophet said it,
It's good enough for the church to be fed it,
There's four thousand different interpretations,
We disagree from genesis to revelations,
We need to get to the core of the situation,
And stop bitchin' 'bout same-sex relations,

And the chapel says it's non-profit, yeah,
'cept if the prophet wants a benz, he goes and cops it,
And growing up wealth was never topic, no,
My daddy never had bread up in his pocket, oh,
And my tax dollars only teach abstinence,
'cept half the girls I grew up with got pregnant,
Instead of scholarships, they got carriages,
Instead of chasing their dreams, they're chasing marriages,

And martin luther king (jr.) had a vision,
So this must be a blind generation,
And it seems that we've become a nation,
Manipulated by the congregation,
And we will never find racial unity,
Unless we find equal opportunity,
Well, I will never rest for immunity,
'cause I was born and raised in a caucasian community,
The less-fortunate are run,
By their desires for these poisons,
Your meth, crack and heroin,
They are the kings of the underprivileged kingdom,

And there's a phantom epidemic in our nation,
And this phantom epidemic's education,
Entertainment and recreation
They take priority over shaping generations,
And what about the media?
Quit believing every single thing they're feeding ya,
The view of our political agendas,
Is swayed by political vendetta,

And I am just a son of illegitimates,
And I'm just another bitch with an instrument,
And whoring out my personal opinions,
And whoring out my personal convictions,
And, yes, I believe that the church is in crisis,
And, yes, I believe everybody's got their vices,
But the crisis that provoked me to write this,
Is I know the good I should do, but I always do the opposite,
So I should be the last to speak, yeah,
I should be the last to speak,
I should be the last to speak,
I should be the last to,
I should be the last to,
Well, I should be the last to speak,
I should be the last to speak,
Well, I should be the last to speak,
I should be the last to,
I should be the last to speak.

allen stone - quit callin 039

You used to be too used to having me around,
I would have followed you anywhere, you weren't anywhere to be found,
You stood me up when I had both knees on the ground,
Beggin' you please, listen to me, girl,

So tangled up inside them sheets in your bed,
You left me in the dark with words you left unsaid,
You played it cool, and I was your fool, no, no,
But that was then,

You only want the things that,
That you can't have, you can't have,
And you only want me 'cause I don't want you back, so just,

allen stone - reality

And love is hard
Either it flourishes or it starves
And I would love to give my heart
I just can't pull the trigger in the dark

Well, now we've come to this
We both agree that this love ain't bliss
Oh, but before we cut these ties
There's something I just need to emphasize

Well, I pray all your wishes come true
And if you're in need, help is offered to you
And I pray for peace, love and prosperity
And may all your dreams become reality

And love needs pain
Just like the sunshine needs the rain
Without the love shining
All of this water falls in vain

Well, now we've come to this
We both agree that this love ain't bliss
Oh, but before we cut these ties
There's something I just need to emphasize

Well, I pray all your wishes come true
And if you're in need, help is offered to you
And I pray for peace, love and prosperity
And may all your dreams become reality, oh

I pray all your wishes come true
And if you're in need, help is offered to you
And I pray for peace, love and prosperity
And may all your dreams become reality

Now we've come to this
Now we've come to this

allen stone - the bed i made

I took a plane over the stars
It didn't get me very far
'Cause all my problems, they follow me
I flew to the moon, but it wasn't far enough away from you
'Cause all our problems, they follow me, yeah, hey, yeah

And every night, I close my eyes
And all my troubles fade
But every morning when I rise
I'm still sleeping in this bed I made, yeah

One million times inside of my mind
I have justified
But all my problems still follow me
And I discovered a way to cleverly avoid the blame
But all my problems still follow me

And every night, I close my eyes
And all my troubles fade
But every morning when I rise
I'm still sleeping in this bed I made

I can't outrun the pain, oh
Should have faced these demons as they came, yeah
And what I wouldn't trade
To make some room in this bed I made

'Cause every night, I close my eyes
And all my troubles fade
But every morning when I rise
I'm still sleeping in this bed
I'm still sleeping in this bed
I'm still sleeping in this bed I made

allen stone - the wire

Who made up these rules
Who's the star and who's the tool
And who's the genius and who's the fool
Oh who made up these rules yeah

Who wrote all of these laws
When to spit and when to applaud
What's of the devil and what's of God

allen stone - upside

It keeps turning me
Upside down
It keeps pulling me
Underground
Love is like gravity
It pulls me down equally
And draws me back every time
This love is a heavy kind

That love is my enemy
I keep it close. Close to me
And I forget the pain it caused
It's better to have loved and lost
This love has no alibi
Still it feeds my appetite
It keeps turning me
Upside down
It keeps pulling me
Underground

It keeps turning me
Upside down
It keeps pulling me
Underground
One and one is always two
I apologize for how I treated you
Nonetheless, I believe
That this will be the death of me

Sunrise, and nightfall
I'm back behind. Behind it all
And I will wait, I will take my time
Patience is a friend of mine
Your love has no alibi
Still I fuel my appetite
It keeps turning me
Upside down
You keep pulling me
Underground

It keeps turning me
Upside down
It keeps pulling me
Underground
Well, consequence haunting me
Still I follow helplessly
It keeps turning me, yeah!

Upside down

allen stone - sunny days

She gets me higher than a 747
Turns me up to 11
Man, this must be heaven
I never doubt her loving for a second
Two to three babies and the wedding
I'm spending

Something's coming
All over me
I'm obsessing
Head over feet

You know life
It ain't always sunny days
But right now
I can't feel no rain on me
It would take so much hate
For my smile to leave
Because I know the one I love
She loves me
She loves me

She's got me shooting like Payton in the 90s
Everything's exciting
She's the wave that I am riding
The thunder to my lightning
She's the one and only cake that I am icing

Ooh, something's coming
All over me
I'm obsessing
Head over feet

You know life
It ain't always sunny days
But right now
I can't feel no rain on me
It would take so much hate
For my smile to leave
Because I know the one I love
She loves me
She loves me

Love, love, love
She loves me just right
Love, love, love
She loves me all night
Love, love, love
She loves me just right
Love, love, love
She loves me all night

You know life
It ain't always sunny days
But right now
I can't feel no rain on me
It would take so much hate
For my smile to leave
Because I know the one I love
She loves me
She loves me

Love, love, love
She loves me just right
Love, love, love
She loves me all night
Love, love, love
She loves me just right
Love, love, love
She loves me all night
