Caught up in the game, and it's dangerous
Gotta touch the flame, now it's shame on us
We were switchin' lanes on a thing called trust
Doin' dirty work, now this thing gon' bust
I can't even blame why you changed on up
You just got your change, then you changed on us
Fightin' for the fame is so hate and love
Surrounded by the fake in the land of gods

Why'd we do it?
Make a mess of the beauty that it used to be, whoa
So foolish
But it's all in the lyrics in the songs we sing, whoa
Why'd we do it?
Throw it all out the window like the paper plane, whoa
So foolish
But I'm back and I really wanna say

My mind runs like fire
Hate it, but I can't deny
I search for something higher
Even when I know I got it
Just say I don't got what you want
I know I've been drinkin' too much
Lord knows I've been tryin'
My mind runs like wildfire

I wanna come in peace, put your guns away
'Cause everything you feel, you're gonna feel one day
The story of the streets is a one-shot play
You either get the grades or you sell cocaine
Still standin' in the heat on the longest day
You're puttin' in the work, but it ain't worth the pay
So, baby, put your guns down, down, down low
And fire off a shot right back to me now

Why'd we do it?
Make a mess of the beauty that it used to be, whoa
So foolish
But it's all in the lyrics in the songs we sing, whoa
Why'd we do it?
Throw it all out the window like the paper plane, whoa
So foolish
But I'm back and I really wanna say

My mind runs like fire
Hate it, but I can't deny
I search for something higher
Even when I know I got it
Just say I don't got what you want
I know I've been drinkin' too much
Lord knows I've been tryin'
My mind runs like wildfire
