Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't sit here while I go nowhere
Chase my dreams through the polluted air
Walking on a wire, running out of time
There's no room in this ol' heart of mine
Bill collectors waiting down the hall
Neighbors scream and crack the bedroom wall
Nerves jump off the pavement, passion hits the street
Anger's cookin' in the city heat
[Verse 2]
World's too crazy, I can't take no more
I won't stay here locked behind the door
[Verse 3]
Baby, stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, ooh, I can't wait to
Stir it up, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I'm not gonna take it anymore
[Verse 4]
Hungry minds do stare you in the eye
Spread it thick, and lay the biggest lies
Don't say what you feelin', must play hard to get
All those time bombs tickin' in your head
[Verse 5]
So much pressure to keep holdin' on
Pack my clothes up, baby, I'll be gone
[Verse 6]
I've got to stir it up, got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, ooh, I can't wait to
Stir it up, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I'm not gonna take it anymore
[Verse 7]
Can't find love because it's trapped inside
Can't find freedom flirting with the line
Make some room in this ol' heart of mine
[Verse 8]
So much pressure to keep holdin' on
Pack my clothes up, baby, I'll be gone
[Verse 9]
Stir it up, I've got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it up, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't want take it anymore
Got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow, I can't wait to
Stir it up, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow, I don't wanna take it anymore
