Singer – Selah Sue

Playin’ me, playing me
Sold them my soul tonight
Why would I compromise every time just for attention?
You cannot fuck with me
Part of me, probably, try to be gasoline
Drunkenly playing with matches

Playing me, playing me
Sold them, my soul tonight
Why would I compromise every time just for attention?
You cannot fuck with me
Part of me, probably, try to be gasoline
Drunkenly, playing with matches

You kinda lucky that I found the patience
You kinda lucky owning my mind
I get no love unless you feel the magic
You told me what to do a thousand times

You’re kind of lucky that I found the patience
You’re kind of lucky, owning my mind
I get no love unless you feel the magic
You told me what to do a thousand times

I’m supposed to breathe, this shit is getting old, old
Open up your eyes and see, you’re losing out control-ol

I’m supposed to breathe, this shit is getting old, old
Open up your eyes and see, yourself losing control

I can do it on my own
I wanted you to know (I wanted you to know)
You keep fuckin’ up my flow
I wanted you to know (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
I wanted you to, you to (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
Wanted you to, you to (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
Wanted you to, wanted you to
You to know

I can do it on my own
I wanted you to know (I wanted you to know)
You keep fucking up my flow
I wanted you to know (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
I wanted you to, you to (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
Wanted you to, you to (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
Wanted you to, wanted you to
You to know

Tard la nuit, j’parle seul, canalise, j’roule des feuilles
Dans le vide, j’crie, je gueule, la colère monte, les larmes coulent à l’intérieur de ma poitrine
Les gens me parlent sans rien me dire, et quand je l’ouvre, que j’me livre
On dit qu’jsuis taré, que j’suis barré, même scénario, à fortiori m’entendent parler, ça filme

Late at night, I talk alone, channel, I roll leaves
In the void, I shout, I yell, anger rises, tears flow inside my chest
People talk to me without saying anything to me, and when I open it, that I give myself up
They say that I’m crazy, that I’m crossed out, same scenario, a fortiori hear me speak, it films

You kinda lucky I disguise the sadness (je me perds, je me perds devant la glace)
You kinda lucky owning my time (dans le bendo en pleine prise d’otages)
I get no love unless I please the masses (je me perds, je me perds devant la glace)
You told me just about a thousand lies (ah ouais, ah ouais, ah ouais)

You’re kind of lucky, I disguise the sadness (I get lost, I get lost in front of the mirror)
You’re kind of lucky, owning my time (in the inferior environment, in full hostage taking)
I get no love unless I please the masses (I get lost, I get lost in front of the mirror)
You told me just about a thousand lies (ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah)

Fauché, mon cœur est bourré, infecté, nécrosé (non)
J’crois plus en la chance, non, métal noir chromé
Bang, bang, bang, bang, je ne tombe que dans la violence
J’implore le ciel, mais mon âme peut-elle être sauvée?

Broke, my heart is stuffed, infected, necrotic (no)
I no longer believe in luck, no, black chrome metal
Bang, bang, bang, bang, I only fall into violence
I implore the sky, but my soul can she be saved?

I can do it on my own
I wanted you to know (I wanted you to know)
You keep fuckin up my flow
I wanted you to know (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
I wanted you to (eh, eh, eh), you to (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
Wanted you to (eh, eh, eh), you to (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
Wanted you to (eh, eh, eh), you to
Wanted you to, you to, you to, you to know, know, know

I can do it on my own
I wanted you to know (I wanted you to know)
You keep fucking up my flow
I wanted you to know (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
I wanted you to (eh, eh, eh), you to (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
Wanted you to (eh, eh, eh), you to (wouh, oh, oh, oh)
Wanted you to (eh, eh, eh), you to
Wanted you to, you to, you to, you to know, know, know

Watch my take control
Power sway rule reign
Gotta make a change
Watch me takin’ over this
Imma fight for this
Makin’ dollars outta pain

Watch my take control
Power sway rule reign
Got to make a change
Watch me taking over this
I am going to fight for this
Making dollars out of pain

Watch me take it slow
Watch me through the pain
Watch me takin’ over this
Imma fight for this
Makin’ dollars outta pain

Watch my take control
Power sway rule reign
Got to make a change
Watch me taking over this
I am going to fight for this
Making dollars out of pain

How could you make me do this?
I’ma fool for your love
How could you make me do this oh-oh-oh?

How could you make me do this?
I am going to be a fool for your love
How could you make me do this oh-oh-oh?
