You (feat. Travis Barker) - James Arthur
Fighting living dying
For what For freedom
That for which men
have fought since
time began to be free
They’ve been making
blanket statements
scaring everyone
They been making you feel like you
never did belong
Yeah he said and she yeah yeah
they say a lot
So many things they just
think you forgot
Who you are
and what you do and where
you’re coming from
I just thought
I could remind you with
a simple song
No bad body language can start
to rub off
Til we’re choosing weapons
and hatred
not love not you
You were in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
Then you became a butterfly
a butterfly
I knew you always would
Cause they were throwing stick
and stones
But words could never
break your bones
You just spread you wings
and fly your
wings and fly
I knew you always would
I knew you always were
I knew there always
was nothing wrong
with being you
All you ever see
on CNN are enemies
Telling you
to lose your individuality
Look do this and do
that til you’ve
lost your way
Til you need a vice or a means
of escape
They want you to stare
into your screen
and see yourself
Blow smoke into your mirror
til you’re
mentally unwell
So don’t let them
catch you with lies
and deceit
They can’t take your soul
or desire for
freedom you
You were in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
And you became a butterfly
a butterfly
I knew you always would
Cause they were throwing sticks
and stones
But words could never break
your bones
You just spread
your wings and fly
your wings and fly
I knew you always would
I knew you always were
I knew there always was nothing
wrong with being
Who said I wanna be I’m gonna be
Everything they said that I
couldn’t be
Everything that I said I would be
when I picked up a pen
and I started
to speak
I hear the beat my melody
I just pour all of my heart in
these sheets
I could not just be a star in
the streets
Man I knew I was different
I harboured belief
Nowhere to live nothing to eat
You were so hungry that you
couldn’t sleep
You couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t be
All of this shit was
happening to me
I would do drugs I was a thief
Still on the run from the
karma police
You were the mission
that’s given to me
by the powers
That be man there is a God
You were in the wilderness
looking for
your own purpose
And you became a butterfly
a butterfly
I knew you always would
You were in the wilderness
Looking for your own purpose
And you became a butterfly
a butterfly
I knew you always were
they were throwing stick
and stones
But words will never
break your bones
You just spread
your wings and fly
your wings and fly
I knew you always would
I knew you always were
I knew you always were
I know there always
was nothing wrong
with being you
