Lyrics
Houston Heights
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wanna light my soul on fire
Sit back, watch it burn
Then call my enemies over
And let them take their turn
Let's see whose flame burns brighter
Let's see who is ready to quit
Let's talk about where you come from
And what you're gonna do with it
So c’mon, we want the same thing
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We want the whole world
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We wanna stay cool
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We keep our nose clean
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
You know nothing about me
You're always gonna doubt me
So try to live without my
Passionately crazy
Allergic to lazy
I'm walking into work like (fuck yeah)
Never waste a minute
Of the moment 'cause I'm in it
The chance that I've been given, right?
The life that I am living
Forgiveness is for giving
So fuck it, fuck it, come on
We want the same thing
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We want the whole world
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We wanna stay cool
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We keep our nose clean
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
I believe this is my life
It's your life, it's our life, in all life
We mold like it's fucking clay
I believe this is my life
It's your life, it's our life, in all life, it's all life, yeah
I believe this is my life
It's your life, it's our life, in all life
We mold like it's fucking clay
I believe this is our life, our life, our life, our life
We want the same thing
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We want the whole world
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We wanna stay cool
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
We keep our nose clean
Oh, yeah, but it just ain't good enough
