Cool Little Bars - Ashley McBryde

Drink up baby, stay up all night With the things you could do You won't but you might The potential you'll be that you'll never see The promises you'll only make Drink up with me now And forget all about the pressure of days Do what I say and I'll make you okay And drive them away The images stuck in your head People you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still Drink up baby, look at the stars I'll kiss you again, between the bars Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air Waiting to finally be caught Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine Keep you apart, deep in my heart Separate from the rest, where I like you the best And keep the things you forgot People you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still

She might as well said life without parole Cause that's what I heard when she flipped the bird And took off down the road That blacked out Chevy, lord it kills me It's still in my name Guess I'll sit right here and order up another drink Behind bars Well that's where I've been Since she said go to hell This neon cell Is what I'm locked up in Behind bars It ain't no joke Just doin' my time Payin' for the crime Of a long gone heart I broke Yeah life is hard Behind bars Behind bars Well I met some other prisoners like me Grippin' something cold, a little smoke On a torn up leather seat We're half convinced If we throw cents In a whiskey wishin' well That some pretty little thing will walk in And post our bail Behind bars Well that's where I've been Since she said go to hell This neon cell Is what I'm locked up in Behind bars It ain't no joke Just doin' my time Payin' for the crime Of a long gone heart I broke Yeah life is hard Behind bars Behind bars Well that's where I've been Since she said go to hell This neon cell Is what I'm locked up in Behind bars It ain't no joke Just doin' my time Payin' for the crime Of a long gone heart I broke Yeah life is hard Behind bars Yeah yeah yeah yeah Behind bars

If you're dealing war, backwards stay far We're dealing with truths and rights Come some more into my sight Yeah, in London talkin' to Rhetorik 'bout my life and shit I thought the album was finished but I keep writing shit It's kind of funny how life changed and rearranged No matter what happens, everything ain't gon' be the same The incredible album, what an incredible outcome I grip the mic and then talk to the people like I'm Malcolm I used to think the fame and money was the motivation Until I toured the world and met the people face to face and Understood that the power was harnessed in that basement It ain't about the money and notoriety It's about the people and making a difference in society But don't get it twisted, this life I'm living is like a movie The Godfather, the Goodfella wielding an Uzi One with the people, if the people is wondering who's he? Same level, the same rebel that never settled Pullin' strings like Geppeto who overcame the ghetto And I know you wrote me and I still ain't answered Cause shit is different now, it's forced upon me Different stances I used to spend all my time conversing with you But now I write this song to let you know I'm hurting with you Shit is too big, but let's be honest, man It's kinda bittersweet, besides the shows and meet and greets y'all only see me on the street And even then, that shit is rare—I just don't go outside Cause honestly I don't fuck with this world, I'd rather hide That misconception, "Cause I rap, I must be filled with pride" Shit I ain't perfect, if you heard different then someone lied People in my ear telling me, "Talk that shit" Actions speak louder than words, I'd rather walk that shit Since the first album I'm one of the highest earners on the label Within six months I put the second one on they table I've played sold out shows in parts of the world I can't pronounce Release the tickets, watch them disappear when we announce Fuck all that murderous syllable shit right now Just let me bounce The mood around me is people smokin' that by the ounce Leave Friday for the show and come back Monday with a hundred grand Don't fuck with checks, so when I bounce I prefer cash in hand You know my first week looking crazy due to high demand Cause people don't buy music in this day and age They buy the brand There's ups and downs, don't get me wrong But back when I ain't have shit Felt like I would've sold my soul to make it with this rap shit Thank God he never let Lucifer close enough to ask Let me attain it by workin' hard and busting my ass Achieved a lot in life, but what's a lot with more to gain? At least I don't drink to avoid the hurt, we call that Champagne Come some more into my sight Come some more into my sight...
