Rollin' down the avenue
I got my fist in the air
Checkin' out of the rat race
& I really don't care
I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
Attitude's a kick in the face
I'm just havin' a good time
Just havin' a good time
Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise
Livin' in the stratosphere
Ain't always cloud nine
I don't even know if
It's what I was hopin' to find
I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
Attitude's a kick in the face
Gettin' out of my mind,
I'm gettin' out of my mind
Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise
Tryin' hard to push me one step over the line
I got the weight of the world on my back
I'll leave it all behind
Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise
Tryin' hard to f*ck me one step over the line
I got the weight of the world on my back
I'll leave it all
I'll leave it all behind
This song is about duality in life and human nature, the yin and the yang. It's about the meaning of love, and how it can be a bitchslap. It's about breaking free from the chains that bind, and rolling down the avenue, fist in the air - because we need to have balance. But how can we be so free with the weight of the World on our shoulders? How can we not be? And that's just it . . . living in the stratosphere isn't always cloud 9 . . .
