[Verse1: Priscilla Renea]
Seems like your heart stops workin'
The minute they close the curtain,
And take off your mask,
And take off your costume,
And if anyone asks, you're takin' a small break,
Drinkin' some coffee,
But everyone knows what you're doin'.
Seems like the bus moves slower
Just ‘cause you got somewhere to go,
So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills,
But if anyone asks, you've got a prescription.
You got an addiction,
Who do you think that you're foolin'?
[Chorus: Priscilla Renea]
John Doe, I just want the John I know,
Once you put the drinks on hold,
Maybe you could come back home,
John Doe, ooh, oh, oh, ooh!
[Verse 2: B.o.B]
Errybody's addicted to somethin',
Errybody gotta grip onto somethin',
Even if it's just the feel too responsible to feel, maybe once, maybe twice,
Maybe hundreds of times, hundreds of times,
Without it it's just harder to function at times.
You race to the bottom of every single bottle,
As if there was someone or somethin' to find.
You're strugglin in your mind,
And you tell yourself lie after lie
Till you get to the point where it's no longer private,
That people that you work with noticed the signs,
When you walk in the room,
It gets noticeably quiet,
So you break up the silence, you say you've been at the gym,
But the way look, can't blame on the diet,
So what you hidin?
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: B.o.B]
Yeah, I've probably had too many things,
Smashed too many freaks,
Had too much to drop me,
Had too much to drink,
Left the club, ended up in custody,
Random drug test, passed it luckily.
My girl broke up wit' me ‘cause she walked in suddenly
With a woman up under me.
I told her, “Wait!
It ain't what it look like!
I must've slip and fell, clumsy me!”
Well, at least I admit it, ‘cause the worst you could do
Is to do it and not be man enough to say that you did it,
That's just how you prevent it, well, I ain't no different.
I love all the money, the fame,
And the parties with beautiful women,
I spend so much time as an underground artist
‘Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business,
And what I'd become,
But that what you'd judge I become.
The path with the greatest resistance,
That's how the tables can turn when they pivot,
And change you perspective and flip your entire position.
My whole life I've been dyin to wish and to live and experience,
Everythin' possible.
When I told ‘em my dreams, they just said they ain't logical,
Now, I can see it — it's optical.
[Chorus]
