Santigold - Why Me Lyrics

I do, I don't
It all ends up
I'm positive, I fill my cup
But when a circumstance comes to ahead
I don't do things that I regret
Like when I'm without a care
A bomb will drop out of thin air
As if they jam me just as I shortcut
A checkmate pinch that I can't budge

I never steal, never fight
They got me marked with my back to the wall
Never got the keys to success that's alright
When I get up there they push me to fall
Now you can hold me back
But I won't be your martyr
Even if I admit I know no way out
Maybe I stall but then I go even harder

Why me?
No it don't hardly cease to amaze me
I pick the pieces off of the pavement
Couldn't it be anybody, but why me?

Now when I look far back in time
Walking in the footsteps of high art
I know there's a trend they're down on luck
But they write the rules and get fools to follow
I can tell you
Now I will dance for the town
Stay with me, don't stop when they turn us off
Rock it down how could they mess with us all
Fuck it let me be, can talk and do the walk now

I never steal, never fight
They got me marked with my back to the wall
Never got the keys to success that's alright
When I get up there they push me to fall
Now you can hold me back
But I won't be your martyr
Even if I admit I know no way out
Maybe I stall but then I go even harder

Why me? (Why me?)
No it don't hardly cease to amaze me (amaze me)
I pick the pieces off of the pavement (pavement)
Couldn't it be anybody but why me? (Why me?)

Why me? (Why me?)
No it don't hardly cease to amaze me (amaze me)
I pick the pieces off of the pavement (pavement)
Couldn't it be anybody but why me? (Why me?) (I turn it up)
