Fast Car

Lyrics You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way So I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someoneYou got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way

I Took a Pill in Ibiza

Lyrics I took a pill in Ibiza To show Avicii I was cool And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older But fuck it, it was something to do I'm living out in LA I drive a sports car just to prove I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars And I spend it on girls and shoes But you don't wanna be high like me Never really knowing why like me You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this Never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing Stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs I'm just a singer who already blew his shot I get along with old timers 'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot And I can't keep a girl, no 'Cause as soon as the sun comes up I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse But the truth is I can't open up Now you don't wanna be high like me Never really knowing why like me You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this Never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing Stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs (hey) I took a plane to my hometown I brought my pride and my guitar All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns And the people still think I'm a star I walked around downtown I met some fans on Lafayette They said tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient So I looked 'em in the eye and said You don't wanna be high like me Never really knowing why like me You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone You don't wanna ride the bus like this Never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing Stuck up on that stage singing All that I know are sad songs, sad songs Darling, all that I know are sad songs, sad songs

Be As You Are

Lyrics Virginia Woolf and poetry No one seemed to notice me Being young was getting so old Cheap beer and cigarettes Life was like a movie set And I seemed to be given no role But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 18 I cried to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are Life is not always a comfortable ride Everybody's got scars that they hide And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah Just be as you are" They played me on the radio And everything was changing, so I thought I was all the way grown But I can still remember in that cold November When I realized I'm all alone But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 22 I cried to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you are" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you are"

Father & Son

Lyrics It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found Something going on But take your time, think a lot Think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not How can I try to explain? When I do he turns away again It's always been the same, same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it slowly You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy All the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it If they were right I'd agree But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go

Growing Up by Macklemore

Lyrics They say boys don't cry But your dad has shed a lot of tears They say I should be a strong man But baby, I'm still filled with fear Sometimes I don't know who I am Sometimes I question why I'm here I just wanna be a good dad Will I be, I have no idea They say girls shouldn't be tough And moms should raise their kids at home But baby, I know that that isn't true 'Cause your momma's the toughest person I know I wanna raise you to be like her And watch you show the world how to do it on your own I'm still tryna figure out who I am I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong I'm gonna be there for your first breath I don't know if I'll be there for your first step I can promise you that I'll try to work less But the tour's routed, and I got this album Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of Don't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTime But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time I won't spoil you, you can trust that For your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass Had your heart broken, been there, done that I love you and I can't give you enough of that Get back to community that raised you up Read Langston Hughes, I suggest A Raisin in the Sun Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love Don't try to change the world, find something that you love And do it every day Do that for the rest of your life And eventually, the world will change I'll be patient, one more month You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb Times are changing, I know, but who am I if I'm the person you become If I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'm still growing up I recommend that you read The Alchemist Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence And every day, give your momma a compliment Take your girl to the prom But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo Slow dance with your woman in your arms Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe Don't wake your mom up, do yoga, learn 'bout karma Find God, but leave the dogma The quickest way to happiness learning to be selfless Ask more questions, talk about yourself less Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop Wear a helmet, don't be stupid, jaywalk, but look before you do it If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance Take risks, 'cause life moves so fast You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chanceI'll be patient, one more month You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb Times are changing, I know, but who am I If I'm the person you become If I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'll be patient, one more month You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb Times are changing, I know, but who am I If I'm the person you become If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up If I'm still growing up I'm still growing up, ooh I'm still growing up I'm still growing up
