Anthem

[Verse 1]

I've been doin' the same thing

Expecting different results

A little late for my resignation, so

Someone fill up my cup

Put on a song that I don't know how to sing

Make up the words so I don't have to think

Here comes my favourite part

Where I drink too much

And I speak from the heart

[Chorus]

I give up sometimes when it hurts

I get buzzed sometimes 'cause it works, yeah

I was lookin' for answers

But I found an anthem instead

I give up sometimes when it hurts

And I know that my rhymes ain't perfect, but

I was lookin' for answers

And I found an anthem instead

[Verse 2]

I'm no Superman, more like Clark Kent

In a phone booth outside my old Bed-Stuy apartment

Where everything changed

She said I seem different and I said, "I feel the same," so

Don't get me started who's more brokenhearted

You flirtin' with the shadows

But I'm one with the darkness, well

That's life as an artist, you bottle up the pain

You sing it to the people with a smile on your face

[Chorus]

I give up sometimes when it hurts

I get buzzed sometimes 'cause it works, yeah

I was lookin' for answers

But I found an anthem instead

I give up sometimes when it hurts

And I know that my rhymes ain't perfect, but

I was lookin' for answers

And I found an anthem instead, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

And I found an anthem, yeah

And I found an anthem

[Chorus]

I give up sometimes when it hurts

I do drugs sometimes 'cause they work, yeah

I was lookin' for answers

But I found an anthem instead

I give up sometimes when it hurts

And I know that my rhymes ain't perfect, but

I was lookin' for answers

And I found an anthem instead, yeah, yeah
