Pay the man lyrics

[Intro]

What you need? What you need?

What you need, man? What you need?

What you need? Yeah, what'd you see?

What'd you see? Yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 1]

Well I need a little something to cool my head off

Need a little something to cool my head off, yeah

Need a little something

Because I've been running from a truce

We’ll never lose

Lies come from loose teeth

Tied to the noose

Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold

All the things I’ve seen but have chosen to ignore

Well, I said, well, I believe I’ve been well fed, yeah

But the wolf’s not dead

[Chorus]

Say what you love, it’s alright

Don’t be afraid to find your light

Embrace the day

At night, we’re here to fight

We on the wild again

And you have the name

Of someone I love

You said, just keep it true

Lift up your name

Seasons change

You know it’ll never be the same

We’ll see the sun again

And before it fades

I just wanna say that I love you

[Verse 2]

Pay the man, pay the man

Got to pay the man

Run as fast as you can

Call out to God, praise to the Most High

Call out for help cause I’m playing with fire

Call out on mountains till my voice goes faint

Echoes through time then comes back with new strength

[Interlude]

And when it’s raining

We’re sailing

Oh yeah, we’re sailing

We’re sailing

[Verse 3]

I'm off the leash

I go to war for peace

Cause I’ve been touching everything that I can

I got blood on my hands

Guess I’m going deaf from what the crowd is sayin'

Ah please forgive me I don’t understand

We all believe we’ve been well fed, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]

The deaf man heard what the mute man said

Then they all followed where the blind man led

[Chorus]

Say what you love, it's alright

Don’t be afraid to find your light

Embrace the day

At night, we’re here to fight

We on the wild again

And you have the name

Of someone I love

You said, just keep it true

Lift up your name

Lift up your name

Seasons change

You know it’ll never be the same

We’ll see the sun again

And before it fades

I just wanna say that I love you

[Bridge]

(Pay the man, pay the man, pay the man)

Pay the man, you got to pay the man

Pay the man, you got to pay the man

Pay the man

Well I was laughing real hard until my teeth fell out

Laughing real hard until my teeth fell out

I was laughing real hard until my teeth fell out

Need a little something, yeah

Need a little something

(A little something, little something, little something)

[Chorus]

You said, just keep it true

Lift up your name

Seasons change

You know it’ll never be the same

We’ll see the sun again

And before it fades

I just wanna say that I love you

[Outro]

Can’t you see?

Can’t see me

Can’t see me

Can’t see me

And can’t see me

Can’t see me

We all run when the light comes on

Am I wrong for wanting it all?

But I warned you
