Lyrics
Nothing will ever be enough to bring me down
It’ll NEVER be enough, no!
This is for Virginia Tech, April 16…
32 died in innocence, I cried
Cause it could’ve been me, It could’ve even been my
Friends, to the families
Of those who lost their lives
We mourn for your loss
And hope for better times
That’s why I keep
Words in my breath
For Virginia Tech
And verbs of respect
For persons that did
Fall, but in the shadows of the 16th
I see sunshine, from the resulting unity
And 40,000 stood in orange and maroon
We can’t bring anybody back
All we can do
Is stand in memorial and stand against violence
Stand hand in hand and stand against silence
Speak from the heart, to prevent and protect
Be a little more caring and wary of effects
Its scary but the next, time, can’t be allowed
To happen its not fair, we can’t let it bring us down!
IT’S NOT…
(enough to bring you down, bring you down)
NO ITS NOT!
This is for all the kids that used to feel just like I did…
I hear you baby, in the middle of ya night
Tell me all about ya life, tell me all about ya cries
Lies, and deceit, hold hands and snicker
Kicking dirt on innocent kids like you
I see you baby, burning up in the heat
Drowning in you sorrows, hoping tomorrow never sleeps
Bottom of a bottle, cockroach in the ashtray
I seen a thousand people that’s just like you!
You ain’t sad, but you ain’t happy
You got it all but got nothing
You think you should be happy
But you just looking for something
And you tired from all this looking
Tired from all this cooking, its tookin
The life outta you, I seen it before!
So you move into the city what a pity it is
The world’s ugly in your eyes
See how pretty it is!
I seen the same look, in a million kids
But keep your chin up
Don’t let this be it, because…
(enough to bring you down, bring you down)
NO ITS NOT!
I’m finally happy, don’t bring me down man…
Don’t you bring me down from this happiness, I’ll kill ya
Don’t get you get in the middle of my road, I’ll smear ya
All over the middle of the steaming black
Asphalt, peeling back – I warned you so its your fault.
Kissing mommy goodbye
But I’ll be back
Be a man, I’ll be that
I’ll be that, man that’s bringing money back
Fame was in power
But now it seems that money’s back
Love me that, much to get me on the track
And I’ll be back
With pride in my pockets
And a smile in my hands
Satisfaction in my fingers
I’d complain but I can’t
Deny how lucky I
Was paid in advance
Walk a mile in my shoes
You want to try on the pants
It’s a comfortable fit
And I’m comfortable with
Taking compliments
But I come from the best
So don’t praise the star
That came from the sun
Just don’t bring him down
Let him shine like one
One
(enough to bring you down, bring you down)
NO ITS NOT!
