in my feelings / Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Mashup) – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Empty out your pockets, I need all that.

I get the millions and I fall back.

They be chameleons, they'll change for some change.

Days ain't the same, they be switchin' for the fame.

Louis Vuitton, I'm in my bag, that's how my memory's gone.

I've been hurtin', rock like electric guitars, I be ragin'.

Big mouths, look like yellow pages.

Runnin' like a race, get in the way,

brodie got the aim to blow you away.

The next day, you in the newspaper on the front page, prayin' for forgiveness 'cause it happened on a Sunday.

Life's been gettin' to me, I just started smokin' squares.

They ain't gettin' in my circle, we still prepared.

I'm still dealin' with some demons that ain't really there.

Grew up a weirdo, twenty piercings and some bleached hair, in seventh grade, I didn't have a bed, I had a chair.

The fuck you think I go so hard for? I got out of there.

Have you ever had somebody try to take your life?

Sometimes I ain't safe from myself when I stay up at night.

I walk a lonely road,

the only one that I have ever known.

Don't know where it goes,

but it's home to me, and I walk alone.

I walk alone, I walk alone.

I walk alone, I walk a-
