Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ow!
Yeah!
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Home grown, on the bone
All the channels show the same ol' war zone
As I walk alone in the city
Makin' me an offer now don't you look pretty
[Verse 3]
New cinema, live action
All the noise of attraction, beats up
On the streets the sellers do mark up
Better than tellin' 'em off, don't stock up
[Verse 4]
Shark, but they don' bite
All that matters is you're not here tonight
And now I wonder
Am I gonna dig a hole ten feet under?
[Verse 5]
Under sea, under me, under you
Under we, undivided, undecided
[Verse 6]
If I only knew what I could do
To make you, make you love me
(To make you, make you love me)
If I only knew what I could do
To make you, make you love me
(To make you, make you love me)
[Verse 7]
Up north where the snow grows colder
I travel onward, 'cross the border
Looked up a girl that I once knew frozen
I found that I was chosen
To be the follower of the deity
Make myself scarce while they come to plea
Bargain for my body and soul
All the flames go around, surround me
I won't go, I need the ozone
I wanna cuddle up behind your backbone
I never stayed long where I'm not wanted
I feel haunted (Yo, brotha!)
[Verse 8]
Where you gonna go? Back to the war zone
To break down the walls
[Verse 9]
If I only knew what I could do
To make you, make you love me
(To make you, make you love me)
If I only knew what I should do
To make you, make you love me
(To make you, make you love me)
[Verse 10]
If I only knew what I could do
To make you, make you happy
(To make you, make you happy)
If I only knew what I should do, yeah
To make you, make you love me
[Verse 11]
I bared my soul to the golden traces
Went to the forest of the holy places
(love me, love me)
[Verse 12]
And now I wonder
Am I gonna dig a hole ten feet under?
Under sea, under me, under you
Under we, undivided, undecided
[Verse 13]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 14]
(If I only knew what I could do)
To make you, make you happy
(Make you, make you happy)
If I only knew what I should do
To make you, make you happy
(To make you, make you happy)
[Verse 15]
If I only knew what I could do
(To make you, make you love me)
If I only knew what I should do
(To make you, make you love me)
If I only knew what I should do
If I only knew what I should do
If I only knew what I could do
