Why Me - Santigold

I do I don’t it all adds up

I’m positive, I fill my cup

But when a circumstance comes to a head

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 short cut

A check mate 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

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
