Lyrics

Settle

I wouldn't settle for nothin', I couldn't settle for that
I'd rather settle for somethin' I don't believe in
Than listen to anymore of your chit chat
Your chit chat, your chit chat, chit chat

There's no way that you'll win
'Cause I'm here startin' all over again
Take back your pieces, take back your pawns
Take back your armies, I'll take back my arms
Positions don't matter, you move first
If I move last, somebody's gonna get hurt, get hurt

I wouldn't settle for nothin', I couldn't settle for that
I'd rather settle for somethin' I don't believe in
Than listen to anymore of your chit chat

'Cause there's one thing that's intact
They're my dreams and it's my turn to laugh
Pushed all the buttons, you pressed all the luck
Optioned the options, I don't give a fortunately
You move quickly, I move too fast
Nobody's winnin', you know it just can't last, can't last

I wouldn't settle for nothin', I couldn't settle for that
I'd rather settle for somethin' I don't believe in
Than listen to anymore of your chit chat
Your chit chat, your chit chat, your chit chat

I wouldn't settle for nothin', I couldn't settle for that
I'd rather settle for somethin' I don't believe in
Than listen to anymore of your chit chat

I wouldn't settle for nothin', I couldn't settle for that
I'd rather settle for somethin' I don't believe in
Than listen to anymore of your chit chat
Your chit chat, your chit chat, your chit chat
Your chit chat, your chit chat, your chit chat
