EVERLAST - Today (Watch Me Shine) lyrics

rate me

(feat. Bronx Style Bob)

Yesterday is just a dream I don't remember

Tomorrow, still a hope I've yet to endure

I'm out of time

I'm out of rhyme

I'm out of reason

Season's change and leave me out in the cold

The story's old

The tale been told by many a scholar

Got a fistful of dollar

And pocketful of love

God above if you hear me cryin'

I've tried to sell my soul

But no one's buyin'

Lord, strike me down now if I'm lyin'

[Bronx Style Bob:] Lord strike me down

[x3]

It's gettin' cold

It's time for dyin'

[CHORUS]

Come on and watch me shine

Like the world is mine (check it out) today

Come on and watch me shine (check it out)

Like the world is mine today

Watch me shine (check it out)

Then the man was free from sin

[Bronx Style Bob:] free from sin

Cast the first stone then began the violence

[Bronx Style Bob:] began the violence

Let the man whose words ring true

Speak on up till his voice breaks through the silence

[Bronx Style Bob:] through the silence

Let the ones who lose their way

Live to see just one more day in the sunshine

[Bronx Style Bob:] La-la-la-la-la-la-laaa

Let the one's who choose to stray

Recognize the price they'll pay

In their lifetime

[Bronx Style Bob:] in their lifetime

[x2]

[CHORUS]

Sit in the way and wait for my roads to cross

You nail me down and you watch me bleed

[Bronx Style Bob:] watch me bleed

So lay my head against the earth

Plant my body like a seed

[Bronx Style Bob:] plant my body like a seed

You can't always get the things you want, love (check it out)

[Bronx Style Bob:] tell me what you want

You get what you deserve

Or maybe what you need

[Bronx Style Bob:] tell me what you need

So fill my hole with precious dirt, love

Till the soil and part the weed

[CHORUS]
