[B.o.B, Priscilla Renea - John Doe lyrics]
Seems like your heart stops workin'
The minute they close the curtain
You take off your mask
And take off your costume
And if anyone asks you're
Takin' a smoke break, you
Drinking some coffee
But everyone knows what you're doin'
Seems like the bus moves slower
Just 'cause you got somewhere to go, so
You take a few pills in Beverly Hills
But, if anyone asks you've
Got a prescription, you got an addiction
Who do you think that you're foolin'?
John Doe i just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home john Doe
Oh oh oh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Ah errybody's addicted to somethin'
Errybody got a grip onto somethin'
Even if it's just to feel
The response of appeal
Maybe once, maybe twice
Maybe hundreds of times, hundreds of times
Without it
It's just harder to function at times
You race to the bottom of every single bottle
As if there was someone or somethin' to find
You struggle in your mind
And you tell yourself lie after lie
'Til you get to the point
Where it's no longer private
The people that you work
With notice the signs
When you walk in the room
It gets noticeably quiet
So you break up the silence
You say you've been at the gym
But the way that you look
Can't blame on the diet so what you hidin'?
John Doe i just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home john Doe
Oh oh oh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Yeah i probably had too many things
Smashed too many freaks had too much to dro
I mean, had too much to drink
Left the club, ended up in custody
Random drug test, passed it luckily
My girl broke up with me
'cause she walked in suddenly
With a woman up under me i told her "Wait!
It ain't what it look like!
I must've slipped and fell, clumsy me!"
Well at least I admit it
'Cause the worst you could do is to do it and
Not be man enough to say that you did it
That's just how you prevent it
Well I ain't no different, I
Love all the money
The fame and the parties with beautiful women
I spent so much time as
A underground artist 'cause
I was afraid to succumb to the business
And what I'd become
But that what you'd judge you become
The path with the greatest resistance
That's how the tables can turn
When they pivot and change your perspective
And flip your entire position
My whole life I've been dyin' and wishin'
To live and experience everything possible
When I told them my dreams, they just said
They ain't logical, now I can see it
It's optical
Oh oh oh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oh, oh oh
John Doe i just want the John I know
