Figures - Jessie Reyez

Lately I've been thinking that I'm not the one to play this part Cause every sweet word that I write could never fix their hearts I can't help but think That someone else is living my dream Because this means so much to me Am I the man that you want Or the man that I'm supposed to be? Am I the man I'm supposed to be Or did they get the whole thing wrong? These days I wish I never wrote a single song For you to sing along I'm just so scared to find I'm wrong Cause I've chased these dreams for way too long I let the hate of the world fill my head with doubt I won't let their voices drown me out I let the hate of the world fill my head with doubt I won't let their voices drown me out You are the reason, I do this for you not myself You are the reason, I do this for you not myself You are the reason, I do this for you not myself You are the reason, I do this for you not myself You are the reason, I do this for you not myself You are the reason, I do this for you not myself Am I the man I'm supposed to be Or did they get the whole thing wrong? These days I wish I never wrote a single song For you to sing along I'm just so scared to find I'm wrong Cause I've chased these dreams for way too long When you want me to fail And stand in my way I'll use your hate to fuel my rage I'll use your hate to fuel my rage

I found you, cleared land Put down my flag This is mine from now on When I see intruders I load up my weapons And fire my cannons I wrote my name Everywhere For all eyes to see You're beautiful, beautiful I see them stare But you belong to me So please, no intruders I kill all intruders 'Cause my love is ruthless So please no intruders I wrote you a love song A war song I'll sing it when the ships come I'll die for my state Love in my veins You are my kingdom I wrote your name Everywhere For all eyes to see You're beautiful, beautiful I see them stare But you belong to me So please, no intruders I kill all intruders 'Cause my love is ruthless So please, no intruders Please, no intruders I kill all intruders 'Cause my love is ruthless So please, no intruders I got heads on the table Heads on a stake Of people that failed And done make the mistake of thinking I'd let them in But this is my land So don't you come in This is my land So please, no intruders I'd kill all intruders 'Cause my love is ruthless So please, no intruders
