Be This Way (feat. Ponkie) - Thememoir

Speak of the devil in he walks It's like his ears burn when I talk Pushed in a gutter, stuck in a rut Waiting for the next turn of the knife in my gut Just trying to do whatever To somehow make myself feel better But I guess I've got you to thank Broken like the bottle that you drank But it won't always be this way It won't always be this way Don't know how many times I'll say It won't always be this way Feels like I'm drowning in a dream With a breath of air just out of my reach And I'm kicking as hard as I can God, I wish you were a better man It won't always be this way It won't always be this way Don't know how many times I'll say It won't always be this way So don't you cry my little one Don't talk about what your daddy done Like a bird, we'll fly away someday I promise I'll plan our getaway It won't always be this way It won't always be this way Don't know how many times I'll say It won't always be this way Don't know how many times I'll say It won't always be this way It won't always be this way It won't always be this way Don't know how many times I'll say It won't always be this way Got down on my knees to pray It won't always be this way Cause my new life starts today It won't always be this way

Standing here I realize That you were just like me Trying to make history But who's to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we'll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end It has to be this way I've carved my own path You've followed your wrath But maybe we're both the same The world has turned And so many have burned But nobody is to blame It's tearing across This barren wasted land I feel new life could be born Beneath the blood stained sand Beneath the blood stained sand Standing here I realize That you were just like me Trying to make history But who's to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we'll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end It has to be this way Violence breeds violence But in the end It has to be this way
