Testo As It Stands - Lil Xtra

As It Stands

Do my thing in the night time
I’m having dreams in the daylight
Don’t give a damn if it’s not right to the minds that can’t see
That I’m not defined by
The cash in my billfold, yeah
Or my songs on the billboard
I’m defined by the action I take
For the difference I make, the kids aren’t alright
And I know I’m negative but you wouldn’t believe what you’d see when you
develop it
Oh, I want to be a Pulitzer prize winning piece
But I’m all out of focus and my edges are creased, no no
'Cause I can’t be your lifeline
I hope that you know that I tried so
Very hard before I went and fucked it up I always do
If I could be what you need I guess this might be different
But as it stands I need to leave to keep my wits about me
'Cause nothing’s the same, I don’t think this will grow
'Cause you think I’m a pain, and I think that it shows
And I think I should stay, but you want me to go
I think I love you but I don’t want you to know, no no
I think I lost myself but it’s all the same
And you can keep your dirt or throw it on my name
Yeah, I know it hurts, life is full of pain
But it still goes on, isn’t that a shame?
'Cause I can’t be your lifeline
I hope that you know that I tried so
Very hard before I went and fucked it up I always do
If I could be what you need I guess this might be different
But as it stands I need to leave to keep my wits about me
Keep my wits about me
Keep my wits about me
