[Intro] Would you die for me? Would you walk a thousand miles for me? Give your life to me You made your heart the target (bang) We can't fight this feelin' When so many years have meanin' If we stop now, we stop breathin' (dressed) We touch souls now we're even [Chorus] (True) If you love me, then I love you too (True) If you love me, then I love you too [Verse 1] Give me you, give me you baby Run a mile, don't run a mile 'cause of you baby I was feeling nonchalant till it got too crazy Even talkin' 'bout the future, one or two babies Ain't never been a game between you and I It's do or die, or either suicide Just ride with me, take a flight with me 'Lil mamma you could really feel alive with me Just take a moment to really feel up the vibe with me (babe) I was tryna burn the pressure with you (flame) [Bridge] We can't fight this feelin' When so many years have meanin' If we stop now, we stop breathin' (dressed) We touch souls now we're even [Chorus] (True) If you love me, then I love you too (True) If you love me, then I love you too (True) If you love me, then I love you too (True) If you love me, then I love you too

[Verse 1] I'm tryin' to be an OG (OK) I know you're tryin' to get to know me Tryin' to get ahead before me Well that's OK, that's OK 'Cause my roots well calculated Tryin' to cross pavements and I won't fake it 'Cause I will make it, I will make it That's the fact of the matter, factual matters I'm guessin' that's the reason why I matter for the moment Word to my conscience, tryin' to put my ego in the coffin Had to keep a knockin' on my noggin That's some real 'ish I ain't tryin' to milk it Starin' at my derrière You don't need to understand I'm very fair So damn moronic I'm afraid of fear [?] Only got a piece of mе to give you here, only got a piеce of me to give you here [Pre-Chorus] You'll be OK, just like they say Keep you head high, boy Don't run away, don't be scared Keep you head high, boy You'll be OK, just like they say Keep you head high, boy Don't run away, don't be scared Keep you head high, boy [Chorus] Keep your head high (Hey) Givin' up had never been an option Keep your head high (Hey) Givin' up had never been an option (Tell em') Keep your head high (Hey) Givin' up had never been an option Keep your head high (Hey) Givin' up had never been an option (Tell em') [Verse 2] Look at it skippin' a rocks Spinnin' a hip till it locks Money ain't something I got Still tryin' to figure it out Believin' for better without a doubt can never count me out 'Cause I'm about my business I'm independent but still dependant on parents I can't defend it [?] Can't wait for the day I say I'm [?] Tryna stay honest till I get aired out My life is like a movie on repeat Overdosin' on the [?] till I can hear it on the streets On the wrong side of life, a clear shadow from the clouds But still believin' in God that I'm one day goin' to make it out Puttin' up with insecurities that seem to lead to doubt, uh [Pre-Chorus] You'll be OK, just like they say Keep you head high, boy Don't run away, don't be scared Keep you head high, boy You'll be OK, just like they say Keep you head high, boy Don't run away, don't be scared Keep you head high, boy [Chorus] Keep your head high (Hey) Givin' up had never been an option Keep your head high (Hey) Givin' up had never been an option (Tell em') Keep your head high (Hey) Givin' up had never been an option Keep your head high (Hey) Givin' up had never been an option (Tell em')

Like Drugs 03:06
[Verse 1] I can't believe she took it that far Love ain't' something we was fond of So we lied about being who she could fall on or lean on So he could get into the sheets for a week and that's weak form Had to lie for it, he really wasn't tryin' die for it But she think she found love now That's how it begins and ends for the most part He don't care about your heart [Chorus] He asked her what she wants now And she said love But he don't do drugs, baby Love is a drug, baby He asked her what she wants And she said love But he don't do drugs, baby Love is a drug, baby [Verse 2] Don't go there darling 'cause you should know who you callin' So you can know if the landin' is soft enough 'fore you fall in Fallin' for stupid jiggas who see you just as a target Don't target the middle man, get a man, put him in your plan Not a fan of his simple dancin' when things when there's bigger than Your emotions just breathe it in It was a love, no never love It wasn't real but made you tough, right? (Right?) It made you tough, right? [Bridge] You like this drug too much, too much, too much Say you like this drug too much, too much, too much Say you like this drug too much, too much, too much Say you like this drug too much, too much, too much [Chorus] He asked her what she wants now And she said love But he don't do drugs, baby Love is a drug, baby He asked her what she wants And she said love But he don't do drugs, baby Love is a drug, baby [Verse 3] So pardon her when she says she don't wanna fall in love no more 'Cause every time she tried to get it, it was never enough, I'm sure I'm sure she'll get her fix one day She'll feel it on her lips, I say She won't ever wanna leave, but for now, I think that you should let her be 'Cause he ain't tendin' to your needs [Chorus] He asked her what she wants now And she said love But he don't do drugs, baby Love is a drug, baby He asked her what she wants And she said love But he don't do drugs, baby Love is a drug, baby
