LYRICS

[Intro/CH]
Oooh ooh
It’s just me, myself and I,
Solo ride until I die,
‘Cause I - got me for life,
Oooh ooh
I don’t need a hand to hold,
Even when the night is cold,
I got that fire in my soul,

[V1]
Alone with my thoughts is a dangerous place,
Believe in myself that’s a dangerous faith,
We run out of time that’s a dangerous race,
These dangerous days, dangerous days,

I sit and think and I dwell and I sink,
Feeling the heat like it’s hell on the brink,
Sleepless at night ain’t been getting a wink,
I’m telling my feelings with pen and the ink,

*inhale* Take a deep breath with me, we are about to get deep,
Deeper than scratches and scars and the cuts hidden under my sleeves,
I don’t believe, that just ain’t me, Stronger than this, I’m feeling weak,
I haven’t got mils, but I’m feeling meek, taking these pills, still feeling weak, damn,

[Ch]
Oooh ooh
It’s just me, myself and I,
Solo ride until I die,
‘Cause I - got me for life,
Oooh ooh
I don’t need a hand to hold,
Even when the night is cold,
I got that fire in my soul,

I don’t need anything,
To get me through the night,
Except the beat that’s in my heart,
Yeah it’s keeping me alive,
I don’t need anything,
To make me satisfied,
Cause the music does me good
And it gets me every time

[V2]
Don’t get it twisted I got family, friends and a love,
But when I get lower and lower and lower,
It’s like all the love in the world ain’t enough,

I’ve given up,
I’ve looked at the blood,
I’ve stood on the cliff,
Imagined the ‘thud’

Imagined the fall and the feeling the weightlessness, bliss and sleep that doesn’t wake me up,

Imagined the peace
as I rest for the rest of my death no more stress of a breath no more tests,

Imagine the sleep
in a nest of the breasts of my death and this quest would be best I confess,

So when I reap what I sew
See the blood flow,
See me try fly,
See me fly low,

Know that it’s this,
Know that it’s bliss,
I held on for so long, must’ve slipped… damn,

[Ch]
Oooh ooh
It’s just me, myself and I,
Solo ride until I die,
‘Cause I - got me for life,
Oooh ooh
I don’t need a hand to hold,
Even when the night is cold,
I got that fire in my soul,

I don’t need anything,
To get me through the night,
Except the beat that’s in my heart,
Yeah it’s keeping me alive,
I don’t need anything,
To make me satisfied,
Cause the music does me good
And it gets me every time

[Bridge]
Ba ba ba bada baa
Ba ba bada baa x3

Cause the music does me good
And it gets me every time


[V3]
These dark times bring in dark rhymes,
I chose to live all the last times,
And I know I’ll never stop trying,
My pops destiny is not mine,

No matter how bad this may damage me,
I don’t wanna leave my family,
So I just gotta keep on handling,

I’ll always keep trying,


[Ch]
Oooh ooh
It’s just me, myself and I,
Solo ride until I die,
‘Cause I - got me for life,
Oooh ooh
I don’t need a hand to hold,
Even when the night is cold,
I got that fire in my soul,

I don’t need anything,
To get me through the night,
Except the beat that’s in my heart,
Yeah it’s keeping me alive,
I don’t need anything,
To make me satisfied,
Cause the music does me good
And it gets me every time

[Bridge]
Ba ba ba bada baa
Ba ba bada baa x3

Cause the music does me good
And it gets me every time
