Peech. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This life gets dangerous
1 girl, 2 nights and some angel dust
Sunset motels and a hateful lust
My ex estranged
Im sorry I had to evolve
I can't go back grew my money too tall
and I can't show love if u hated at all
1 girl, 2 nights and some angel dust
Sunset motels and a hateful lust
Court dates, Missed calls, and a faded love
Big city, big name and a loss of trust
But I can't complain
I remember way back then
Had dreams to be superstar
Now its week long benders
Couple new guitars
New groupies I won't call
cause their too bizarre
But I can't complain
This the life that I chose
It'll watch me grow old
I can't complain
Let go of all that I know
And let the music control
I play her game
It'll watch me grow old
I can't complain
This the life that I chose
Let go of all that I know
It'll watch me grow old
This the life that I chose
when did it get complicated
Start the conversation
Turn the tv off
When did I need medication
Na never take it
Couldn't pay me off
If i didn't think I would make it
I wouldn't have came this far
N If I didn't struggle with pain
Than I wouldn't have made this art
Gotta
Stay dangerous
They waiting
I wont do a thing
For a 9-5 paycheck
No patience
Locations
New place same theme
They hating
Everyday its the same exchange
Everybody gotta thing to say but
I know in the end they mind got change
This the life that I chose
It'll watch me grow old
I can't complain
Let go of all that I know
And let the music control
I play her game
It'll watch me grow old
I can't complain
This the life that I chose
Let go of all that I know
It'll watch me grow old
This the life that I chose
