Perseverance Lyrics

[Hidden track]

 

 Hate when they call me superstar

 Do I look like a superstar?

 Yet unreachable and very far

 Ever noticed I'm right here wit ya'll?

 I cover my face because

 They do not need to see

 I ain't no gangsta or no thug

 I am just being me

 The world smells of drama

 So I cover up my nose

 The faces like film leavin' out too long, gets overexposed

 Getting praised by magazines

 From the girlfriends in my clothes

 I hope they still love me when I shun away 'cuz I am afraid to blow

 

 [Chorus]

 WANT WAR?

 Well!

 WAR WE'LL GIVE!

 We'll be rocking this

 BANDANA!

 Well you/So You

 CAN'T SEE SHIT!

 [scream]

 

 [2nd Verse]

 Now the fear of blowing up

 Definitely takes it's toll

 It sends it's demons down to your mind to take control

 If it thinks it's got my mind

 Well it better think again

 I got the pleasure of the piano 

 and this powerful pen

 But you

 ([Shae:] You!}

 You want 15 minutes to shine with your concept

 What's so interesting? 

 What's your desire?

 Soon as you get your cover story

 And your precious headlines

 So sorry, so sorry, so sorry

 They'll just fuck you from behind

 

 [Chorus]

 WANT WAR?

 Well!

 WAR WE'LL GIVE!

 We'll be rocking this

 BANDANA!

 Well you/So you

 CAN'T SEE SHIT!

 

 [Bridge]

 I don't wanna blow up

 I'm smiling 'cuz I know

 All the pieces that make me me

 Will glisten from my soul

 My self-esteem is not a fake

 It comes from within

 Come and take a picture,

 I'll sign whatever you want my friend

 

 Still

 ([Shae:] Still)

 Still

 ([Shae:] Still)

 

 Yeah!

 

 War...

 

 [Chorus]

 WANT WAR?

 Well!

 WAR WE'LL GIVE! We'll be rocking this

 BANDANA!

 Well you/So you

 CAN'T SEE SHIT!

 [scream]

 

 WANT WAR!
