Ronnie K. Whitlock - Sidewalks (The Weeknd Cover) lyrics

[Intro: Logic] My message, which is peace, love and positivity in my music And that I stay grounded and that I am who I am and I don't pretend to be anything else Be good, be kind-hearted, do your best to help others, follow your dreams, do whatever it takes And don't tell yourself you can't because if you tell yourself you can't, you've already been defeated before you've started [Verse 1: Progress] I never shed a single tear ‘till I was 18 Caught up in the frenzy, caught up in the lucid dreams Caught up in my head, caught up in the make-believe Caught up in myself, looking for reality Yeah, and I could try to make excuses Looking for the reasons that I do it for the music Looking for the pa**ion, asking, “Why do I do it?” Find a reaction in my heart working through it Uh, take inspiration from the greatest So when I meet ‘em, they can tell me that I made it As for the hating, there will be zero debating Eyes on the prize, tryna' break my concentration But they can't phase me, like a Jedi in the zone (I'm in the zone) Meditating tryna' tune into the tone (into the tone) On the radio, the frequency is gone (you see it's gone) I'll bring it back like it's a soldier coming home (I'm coming home) And fine-tune it so they never know it's lost (they know it's lost) A price tag doesn't really tell the cost (don't tell the cost) And authority does not make you the boss (you ain't the boss) How many disses does it take to get across? I'm sick of hearing all the drama and the hate Lying media just tryna' fuel the flame They feed off the publicity like parasites inside us And turn around and tell us lies infected with the virus So it spreads, like a wildfire Don't get it twisted in all the barbed wire Don't tell me twice because I heard it all the first time The first line, the first rhyme, the worst time You know that first line about the time I cried? That was the last time I focused on the downside This is my sermon, you heard it, I will testify Look into the music and lose it as I will clarify [Hook: The Weeknd] Sidewalks saved my life They don't ever lie Sidewalks saved my life They showed me all the signs [Post-Hook: Daniel Wilson] They don't let me down But they lead me on And they don't let me down But they lead me on And they lead me on
