[Verse]
I see you in the same place 

I see you in the rat race 

When you getting out of this maze 

I see you with the same mates 

When you gonna let shit change 

When you gonna use that brain 

I wanna see the shit made 

Before all the lights fade 

See I work til my back break 

Shovel dirt in the back lane 

Oh it hurt with the back pain 

What’s the price of the small change 

I tell them that I’m okay 

And I really am okay 

But I need to leave this space 

If they’re gonna say I’m great 

Questions I need to be asking I need you here right now 

Blessings I need to have to figure it right out 

Oh what have I learned 

It pays to be there first 


[Chorus]

I don’t want to be around 

If you don’t want to tell me something 

And I don’t want to see you around 

Cause you know you’re gonna be someone 

Gonna be some one else 

And still it hurts to say 

Yeah still it hurts to say 

I need you 



[Verse]

I walk along this earth 

Living life in reverse 

I walk as it all turns 

I watch as the shit burns 

Oh what have I learned? 

It pays to be there first 

So I’m waiting for my turn 

To reach what we deserve 

Oh no no no

I won’t go back there no more 

Oh no no no 

You’ll see my clothes on the floor 

Oh no no no 

You’ll see I’m ready for war 

Oh no no no 

You know what I am here for 


Take a chance at a plan I’ll be man made til a made man 


Take a chance at a plan I’ll be man made til a made man 


Oh no 

Woahhh 

Questions I have to be asking I need you here right now 


[Chorus]

I don’t want to be around 

If you don’t want to tell me something 

And I don’t want to see you around 

Cause you know you’re gonna be someone 

Gonna be some one else 

And still it hurts to say 

Yeah still it hurts to say 

I need you
