lyrics

BACKYARD

WHO IS YOU AND WHAT YOU WANT?
RUNNING YOUR YAP, AND TALKING JUNK.
‘BOUT WHAT YOU BELIEVE, LIKE IT’S THE TRUTH
TRYING TO INFLUENCE OTHERS TO BE JUST LIKE YOU.
BUT ON THE FLIPSIDE, YOU GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE.
LIKE WHAT’S DONE IN THE DARK, WON’T COME TO THE LIGHT.
YOUR HISTORY AIN’T SAFE, IN THESE STREETS.
SO WATCH TALKING ‘BOUT ME AND MY FAMILY.

CHORUS
YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
IT’S A LOT OF JUNK PILING UP BACK THERE
YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
A PLACE WHERE RATS AND CATS CALL HOME
YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
IT’S A TON OF SKELETON BONES
SO CLEAN UP YOUR MESS BEFORE YOU COME FOR ME
OR YOU’LL SEE THE TEETH OF THE BEAST

TO YOUR FRIENDS HEARING THIS, RUN TELL DAT
YOU JUST HEARD A SONG, PUTTIN’ THEM ON THE MAP.
TALK ABOUT IT ON YOUR TWITTER OR YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE,
SAYIN’ WHAT YOU NEED TO, TO TRY AND DOWNPLAY
BUT DON’T GET MAD WHEN I USE YOUR PHILOSOPHY
OF I DO WHAT I WANT, AND I DO ME.
WE’RE NOT THE SAME, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT
CAUSE I’M MAN ENOUGH, TO LIVE IN THE LIGHT

CHORUS
