Lyrics

[Verse 1]
6:00 in da mornin', cell is shaking
A queen in yellow, rose yesterday
TV is on, I can't breathe
Anxiety moved to another color
Shea, styling, everything looks fine
Keep blaming on me, see, that smile is mine
I won't kneel before the bullshit
[Verse 2]
I'm tired of bullshit
Stop living in the bullshit
Some making bullshit
See, it's bullshit
I'm tired of the bullshit
Stop living in the bullshit
Some making bullshit
See, it's bullshit
[Verse 3]
6:00 in da evening, eyes are burnin'
Only water that'll flow will be the one on my face, ooh
Radio on, a family is drowning
Selfishness is picking up the pace
Watch the road, no one left to drive
Keep pushing on me, see, I'm staying alive
I won't kneel before the bullshit
[Verse 4]
I'm tired of bullshit
Stop living in the bullshit
Some making bullshit
See, it's bullshit
I'm tired of the bullshit (Oh)
Stop living in the bullshit
Some making bullshit
See, it's bullshit
[Verse 5]
I'm tired of bullshit
Stop living in the bullshit (Stop)
Some making bullshit
See, it's bullshit (Ooh)
I'm tired of the bullshit (I'm tired of the bullshit)
Stop living in the bullshit
Some making bullshit (Oh)
See, it's bullshit
[Verse 6]
I can't stand it
I can't stand it no more
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
I can't stand it no more
[Verse 7]
Be my lady
Been far too long
I want you to be mine
