Adam WarRock - This Song lyrics

[Intro/Hook] And those lonely lights That's when I stay up and write this song This song [Verse 1: Adam WarRock] Yeah, maybe this beat will make me feel better Maybe I can write it out in the form of a letter Sign it to the internet a couple a times I might sell some t-shirts to try to make some cheddar But I know that this business is so shady Industry rule four-thousand-and-eighty-one: Nothing is promised All I can do is work hard and be honest With the music that I wanna do and try my best yeah Unh, it's like I threw away my future They say I might break big with the right producer But everything I'd like to touch is like Midas Medusa And these hands used ta, used to be so strong Cause I almost ran out of hope a couple of times I only been here for a couple a years I've been writing and rapping since 1999 And I find nothing's ever measured If it isn't ever tried and I [Hook 1] And those lonely nights That's when I stay up and write this song (that's when I stay up and write this song) This song uh And those lonely nights, yeah That's when I stay up and write this song (that's when I'm sittin' and writing this song) This song [Verse 2] Yeah that's when I feel it in my chest And I know that I'm blessed Because I make music so honest and honestly I promised these few things my mama she told me You gotta do it so you try and be the best So I do that, got a couple fans Do my best and stay true to that, true that I rarely look back sometimes I gotta laugh Cause these people dig my tracks But they say that hate rap And I don't even rap, man I'm singing on these tracks Off-key because the damn melody distracts From what I truly wanna say and if you missed it Probably wasn't even important cause I don't really revisit it Each song's a tombstone; a crypt for those feelings That I'm not fully equipped to deal with And it screams out my belly and throat until it quits Then I just post it up and say forget about it [Hook 2] And those lonely nights (yeah) That's when I stay up and write this song (that's when I stay up and write this song) This song unh Those lonely nights (yeah) That's when I stay up and write this song (that's when I find myself writing this song) This song [Verse 3] Check it, I've got fans who send me telegrams They tell me, "Adam, man, I don't understand Why you seem so down cause your future's so bright." Man, I'm tellin' y'all: it's hard to sleep at night While I'm tossin' and turnin' because the fire is burning And I ain't earning enough to pay the bills that pile up And the only thing that makes me feel better Is sendin' another song to Mikal kHill And hear him say he hates it And so I got up and wrote this Quote this: after this whole ride is over Hopeless cause I ain't Hova I'm just a man doin' all that he can To survive long enough to write another damn song [Hook 3] And those lonely nights (yeah) That's when I stay up and write this song (that's when I'm losin' my sleep and writing this song) This song (yeah) Those lonely nights (yeah, what?) That's when I stay up and write this song (that's when I'm stayin' up and writin' this song) This song (yeah yeah) And ya don't stop Cause ya can't stop Unh, Joey Mitchell never lies
