Partners in Irony - Can You Get Us Backstage lyrics

[Intro: Oliver, JCM and Travis Mollohan] Oliver: So with all that being said Trav, we got this track that we've been working on, and we don't have a hook for it yet, but we thought you were perfect for it JCM: Yeah, you got anything that you think you might be able to show us? Travis: You know I've been, I've been thinking about it a lot, and I just realized, you know this is what I wanna do, this is me [Bridge 1: Travis Mollohan] You know it feels like lately, everything's out of reach And I'm just tryina make it, but I think my belief Is starting to waver, and I can feel my fear But one thing's getting clearer, I'm getting outta here [Hook: Travis Mollohan (JCM)] I want what I can't want, what I can't have It feels like the world's coming down on my head I gotta fight right now for my own sake This one's on me, I'll never break (Let me get it from here) [Verse 1: JCM] Trying to calculate How to send myself into the right trajectory They putting walls up while I figure out how to break And the thought of leaving gets my heart to palpitate Do you not relate? Tired of watching all the same cowards hatin' Whether now or later, you know they bound for fadin' Never really been room to contemplate it No ifs, ands, buts man that sh**'s for the crows Talk fly, but I ride by to see 'em walking in the same wooden soles Sing the same tunes, make the same moves, by the same rules Ain't nobody ever breaking the mold, it's Something that I can't understand Livin' repetition doesn't match with the plan Tried getting by, coming off of the side But they stifled my life, so I can't take command Yeah, and I'm tired of that Set a light under the fuse so I can fire it back This time, man, I'm speaking my mind Stars all aligned as I strive to design the track Put my life on the line 'fore I cross it out Kicking in the door 'fore I walk it out They chose not to recognize me So I'm making my way to the stage with a bang and a pow [Bridge 2: Travis Mollohan] So when they throw those lights, and I take center stage I won't forget this moment, it's my proof that I've paid Blood sweat tears, they may seem commonplace But I felt every drop, so don't make no mistake [Hook: Travis Mollohan] [Verse 2: Oliver] Yo I believe in the fact that I need to rap Need to achieve my dreams of just slayin' tracks I see my team stacking up the plaques But if that's all we do I'm not okay with that 'Cause we received a gift, and if we spit Any less than our best then we may as well quit And leave this sh** to the Ye's and Dre's Who blazed a path and gave back to this Idea that there's more to the game than fame A door wide open for the sh** we say To matter more than the club banger, or, matter for Each and every fan that's been turned away So we'll learn to play, but in the meantime Each rhyme is designed to make you feel a way So you'll vibe inside and one day inscribe Our lyrics on your flesh so you'll never break, hey We want what we can't have, yeah we know But put us on a mic and by the end of the night We'll be feeling invincible so This one goes out to the kid staying up at the end of our show Whose friends will say "Do you dare to dream?" And he'll look at them, like "You already know" [Hook: Travis Mollohan] [Verse 3: Oliver (JCM)] I grew up believing in the dreamers And graduated to needing the dream And I knew that I wanted to live it But I can't help but feel some part of me (Holding me back from achieving That thing that I want to become And they held me down, but I'm breathing And I was ready from birth to run) And we'll never forget where we come from But we may never know who we are But if the hardest part is believing Then maybe we're not too far (You can push us out of your mind I swear we're just a thought away One mind to keep us humble The other mind to make them pay) And if I want what I can't have Then know somehow I'll get in the end The world may be coming down on our heads But salvation's just around the bend (I'm fighting now for my own sake So if you bought the book, rip out a page And if you bring that page then we'll sign it 'Cause we're the ones that you'll meet backstage) [Outro: Travis Mollohan] I want what I can't want, what I can't have It feels like the world's coming down on my head I gotta fight right now for my own sake This one's on me, I'll never break I'll never break
