my hosting theme song. if you know the words rap along!
lyrics
Verse 1
Hey look, you’re never really satisfied whether rich or poor
I mean, once you get some, you’re gonna want some more
We bear pretty fruit, that’s rotten to the core
We import drugs and export war
And at the end of the day, what is all of this for
I mean what matters in the world baby, I’m not really sure
I’d say it’s mother nature but we treat her like a whore
I’d say it’s god but we’ve shown her the door
So, tell me why we do this every day
Give up our life time, for an hours worth of pay
And try to convince ourselves that it will be okay
Truth is, I ain’t happy here but here is where I stay
So I gotta find way to have peace every day
Sometimes I drink a beer, sometimes I smoke a jay
Sometimes I curse and scream, sometimes I kneel and pray
But when I’m on the dance floor this is why I say
Chorus 2X
You’ve had a day that was really wack
SHAKE IT OFF
You’ve got to much pressure on your back
TAKE IT OFF
You getting’ love with strings attached
BREAK IT OFF
It goes, SHAKE IT OFF, TAKE IT OFF, BREAK IT OFF
Verse 2
It’s hard to avoid the devil when you’re chillin in his lair
But, we’re not suppose to get more than we can bear
But, who ever told you that life was really fair
So, for a moment live life without a care
So baby girl do what you want to with your hair
Have fun, live a little, take a dare
We stress so much about what we drive and wear
Looking for something that isn’t really there
We walk around all day feelin we’ve bee cheated
So hearts get cold and arguments get heated
Life can be so sour and we are forced to eat it
Time for a revolution, follow me I’ll lead it
This is for all of those who really feel defeated
Who’ve been abused, misused, and mistreated
I know sometimes your spirit feels depleted
I wrote this one for you ‘cause I know you really need it
It goes…
Chorus 6X
