Dive Bar
SonReal Lyrics

Lost all my control of the right way
I have lost my path towards success and am feeling aimless

Sippin' little juice on a Friday
Drinking casually on a Friday night to lift my spirits

Wrote this hook buzzed in a dive bar
I came up with the chorus for this song while drunk and hanging out at a dive bar

Now everybody sing it, oh my God
The catchy hook has resonated with many people, causing them to sing along with excitement

Go back and take a look at all the reason and the rhyme, yeah
Reflecting on my past and what led me to where I am now

Bartender give the nod, I say I'm doing fine, yeah
I am putting on a facade of being okay for the sake of appearance, even though I am struggling

Cointreau in my blood got me speaking double time, yeah
Drinking Cointreau has me feeling more confident and talkative

If you speak my name in vain, you might just cross the line, yeah
If someone disrespects me or talks about me negatively, there will be consequences

Acting like these other motherfuckers in the limelight (yeah)
I refuse to conform and put on a fake persona like many other celebrities

Words becoming dull, it's time to sharpen up they hindsight
People need to start paying attention to the truth and waking up to reality

People getting Humpty Dumpty, I come with the re-write
People are falling apart and I am here to offer a new perspective and message

Look between the smokey lines underneath the black light now
Examine and explore the hidden truths beneath the surface level

I don't need another cup full
I do not need more alcohol to escape my problems

I just need a change
I need to make a positive change in my life to improve my mental state

'Cause lately, it don't feel right
I have been feeling lost and dissatisfied with my life

And you been playing games
Someone in my life has been manipulating or playing with my emotions

I will be the guy who go ahead and blur the lines now
I will be the one to push boundaries and break away from the norm

I ain't never fit in with no crowd, I guess that my town
I have always felt like an outsider and never truly belonged in any group

Shot a bullet, popping from the hammers that I lie down
I am making a powerful statement and leaving a lasting impact

Think it up, think it up, think it up, hey
I am constantly coming up with new ideas and trying to improve

Then I hit record until you press play
I am recording my music and putting it out into the world for others to enjoy

Used pray to God right before I went to sleep
I used to pray for success before bed

That my hook melodies would get me to my dreams (ooh yeah)
I hoped that my catchy melodies would help me achieve my goals

Dump out my cup like I dump out my fucks, it's all part of my plan
I am getting rid of things that do not serve me, like alcohol or negative thoughts

Making my point and I'm pointing at you
I am using my music to make a statement and calling out those who are responsible for societal issues

You taking a dive while I'm taking a stand
You may be losing, but I am standing up for what I believe in and making progress

Hmm, now everybody sing it, oh my God
The hook is so catchy that people cannot help but sing it again
