Raleigh/Durham Anthem - Mdot

Nothing is perfect but your imperfections are quaint And your love is worth it and for that I will wait And though you hate me, when you have a turn I drive you crazy but you always return If I fall short If I break rank It's a bloodsport But I understand I am all yours I am a man I'm on all fours Willingly down Loving you is a bloodspot Fighting in a love war Although you love me, sometimes we meet Things can get ugly but we're still a team We are an army, the brakes are within But that's why we're stronger, and that's how we'll win If I fall short If I break rank It's a bloodsport But I understand I am all yours I am a man I'm on all fours Willingly down Loving you is a bloodspot Fighting in a love war It's not what I'm in love for, I know But I don't know if you can't help it Baby, I'm just being selfish Loving you is a bloodspot I've got your back and though it's stacked against us I've got your hand, it's us against consensus And I will burn the people who hurt you the most and I will not learn 'Cause I am too young and too dumb to consider the terms I'm breaking the law and I'll curse the day that they return With a smile on my face as their heads hit the floor And it's done, now it's curtains, the blood lost, it's the cost, it fucking hurts But it's working and even if you ask me to stop it's too late Because I've already decided that faith is not a distaste, it's pure hate And it pulsates and it works its way around my brain And anyway, what I'm tryna say is I'll protect you till the day I'll meet my maker So don't fight me now 'cause you might need me later Loving you is a bloodspot Fighting in a love war It's not what I'm in love for, I know But I don't know if you can't help it Baby, I'm just being selfish Loving you is a bloodspot

Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay! I guess you're okay You go through my head Now and then (Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay!) We watch what we say, We play hard to get We pretend (Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay!) I don't what's happened to me But it won't disappear I'll keep changing, Saying things I think you want to hear I'm struggling to hold on to something close to you Now I'm coming up short I choose to make the most of you Never mind the power Never mind the games You and me we're cowards Never mind to share 'Cause I'll be waiting for you At the burning gates Baby, I adore you But I'm afraid to say I bite, and you scratch We tend to relax Perfect match (Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay!) We're both self destruct We fight and we fuck We make love (Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay!) I'm struggling to hold on to something close to you Now I'm coming up short I choose to make the most of you Never mind the power Never mind the games You and me, we're cowards Never mind to share 'Cause I'll be waiting for you At the burning gates Baby, I adore you But I'm afraid to say We don't have to be the model couple We could just be modeled up I won't give it up! White flag on the night stand White girl for the road Baby, we were made to go surround each other Baby, I don't know I don't care I'm just scared Never mind the power Never mind the games You and me, we're cowards Never mind to share 'Cause I'll be waiting for you At the burning gates Baby, I adore you But I'm afraid to say

I never ask for easy love But you didn't need to make it hard For me, you keep it breezy You underestimate my trust You think I'm weak, but you are half Of me, you complete me Sometimes I pretend that we're still friends There must be a line where I begin and you end Don't wanna fight Just wanna make it right You don't have control of me But I will not be your enemy 'Cause you're a shadow, you're a shadow Of who I used to be You hold the fire inside Oh you can be so hard to please You won't be hurting me I will not be your sacrifice I will not feed your energy You don't deserve me Sometimes I pretend that we're still friends There must be a line where I begin and you end I don't wanna fight Just wanna make it right You don't have control of me But I will not be your enemy 'Cause you're a shadow, you're a shadow Of who I used to be Sometimes I pretend that we're still friends There must be a line where I begin and you end Don't wanna fight Just wanna make it right

Feeling that I'm out of time 'cause she's out my life I've been starin' at the Raleigh lights Tryna get through all these Raleigh nights (Yeah) Don't get no sleep but I feel fine I've been tryna make it but it's not my time I guess I'm doing well I'm doing good Feelin' like I'm stuck up here in Raleighwood It's midnight Oh in Raleigh Up all night Hopin' that you would call me It's midnight Oh in Raleigh Up all night Hopin' that you would call me Now I'm starin' at the ceiling fan Thinkin' about you again She's probably tellin' all her friends All about her new man (Yeah) I see what you tweeted girl but it's not about me I wish that I could get you out of my dreams Gotta' turn on some Jaxson Free It's a late night we gon' make 'em sing It's midnight Oh in Raleigh Up all night Hopin' that you would call me It's midnight Oh in Raleigh Up all night Hopin' that you would call me
