B.o.B - John Doe Lyrics
(Verse: Priscilla)Seems like your heart stops workinThe minute they close the curtainYou take off your mask and take off your costumeAnd if anyone asks, you’re taking a small breakAnd drinking some coffeeBut everyone knows what you’re doingSeems like the bus moves slowerJust ‘cause you got somewhere to goSo you take a few pills in Beverly HillsBut if anyone asks, you’ve got a prescriptionYou got an addictionWho do you think that you’re foolin?(Chorus: Priscilla)John Doe!I just want the John I knowOnce you put the drinks on holdMaybe you could come back homeJohn DoeOh oh oh…(Verse: B.o.B)Uh, everybody’s addicted to somethingEverybody gotta grip onto somethingEven if it’s just to feel the responsive appealMaybe once, maybe twice, maybe hundreds of timesHundreds of timesWithout it it’s just harder to function at timesYou race to the bottom of every single bottleAs if there was someone or something to findYou struggle in yo mind and you chose strobe lightHave to lie til you get to the point where it’s no longer vibinThe people that you work with notice the signsWhen you walk in the room, niggas know that’s requiredSo you break up the silenceYou say you’ve been at the gymBut the way that you look can’t blame on a dietSo what you hidin?(Chorus: Priscilla)John Doe!I just want the John I knowOnce you put the drinks on holdMaybe you could come back homeJohn DoeOh oh oh…(Verse: B.o.B)I probably had too many things, smashed too many freaksHad too much to drive, I mean had too much to drinkLeft the club, ended up in custodyRan them drug tests, passed it luckilyMy girl broke with me cus she walked in and suddenlyWith a woman up under me I told er“Wait! It ain’t what it look likeI must’ve slipped and fell, clumsy me”Well at least I admitCus the worst you could do is to do it and not be man enough to say that you did itThat’s just how you prevent itBut I ain’t no differentI love all the money, the fame and the parties with beautiful womenI spent so much time as an underground artistCus I was afraid to succumb to the business and what I’ve becomeBut that what you judge will becomeThe path with the greatest resistanceThat’s how the tables can turn when they pivotAnd change your perspective and flip your entire positionMy whole life I’ve been dyin and wishinTo live and experience everything possibleWhen I told em my dreams they just said it ain’t logicalNow I can see it, it’s opticalOh oh oh…(Chorus: Priscilla)John Doe!I just want the John I knowOnce you put the drinks on holdMaybe you could come back homeJohn Doe
