Issues - Black Diamonds Album Lyrics

Black Diamonds

We keep the cash on deck

We keep the cash on deck
Swerved out black-black diamond

(If you cut records like cocaine)
We keep the cash on deck

King Of Amarillo

Wrath to the industry

Get over yourself, they can see right through you
We are the future like no one ever knew you
Got the swag of a coward and the heart of a nemesis
If you don't like these lyrics then go listen to Genesis
Sega. We ain't playin' games, you took demise we'll take the fame

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life
And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

I heard from your friends that you've been stricken with fear
Desperate for press in your pathetic career
Can't get out of debt since your sales took a dive
You can find out the hard way cowards never thrive

If you'd cut records like cocaine you could still have a f*cking name
Yeah I guess I took it too far and I know the truth hurts but if you're scared bitch go to church

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life
And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

If they let you into heaven then I'd rather go to hell
You think you're buying your way to the top with all that bullshit that you sell
God's not naive like the fans you deceive.
Even the devil was an angel what the f*ck did he achieve?

Wrath to the industry, and everything it used to be

And I can't wait to say whatever, and I can't wait to shed some light
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life
And I can't wait to be whoever, and I can't wait to speak my mind
On every little thing you've broken, and get on with my life

Oh yeah, on with my life
My life, on with my life

The Worst Of Them

Funny how everytime you push me away
You turn around and you beg me to stay
Cut down by the things you say
It's the beating of, a broken drum

Na, na, nana
Hey, hey
Na, na, nana
Hey, hey, hey

One of these days
You'll push me away
Turn around
It'll be too late

Your love is addictive
I'm trying hard, just to quit it
But you're drowning yourself
You won't catch your breathe
Until you admit it

Is anybody out there?
I'm dying in a nightmare
You've got third degree burns
And now it's your turn
To feel what I, feel, yeah

And if it don't hurt
Then you know what we got
Ain't real

Funny how everytime you push me away
You turn around and you beg me to stay
Cut down by the things you say
It's the beating of, a broken drum

Na, na, nana
Hey, hey
Na, na, nana
Hey, hey, hey

One of these days
You'll push me away
Turn around
It'll be too late

This love is a monster
It's eating me alive
Let go of my hand, you don't give a damn
And it's killing me, inside

You show me no mercy
Take care, did God make a mistake?
Put a hole in your heart
And then you can start
To feel what I, feel

If it don't hurt
Then you know what we got
Ain't real, yeah

Funny how everytime you push me away
You turn around and you beg me to stay
Cut down by the things you say
It's the beating of, a broken drum

Na, na, nana
Hey, hey
Na, na, nana
Hey, hey, hey

One of these days
You'll push me away
Turn around
It'll be too late

Where will you go
When you refuse
My benevolence

It's funny how everytime you push me away
You turn around and you beg me to stay
Everytime you push me away
You turn around and you beg me to stay
Cut down by the things you say
I've had enough

Where will you go
When you refuse
My benevolence

Funny how everytime you push me away
You turn around and you beg me to stay
Cut down by the things you say
It's the beating of, a broken drum

Na, na, nana
Hey, hey
Na, na, nana
Hey, hey, hey

One of these days
You'll push me away
Turn around
It'll be too late

Princeton Ave

It's time for a change! This generation... this generation needs a hero!

What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love, tough love
Your roots grow in the cracks of the alleys, college park made you
Man enough to see, man enough to see, there ain't a goddamn man in me

Take me back to a date before I was hostile and learned to hate

You promised you would never become,

You promised you would never become,
A storm a blackout replicating the one
The thunder inside him became your life
And you called him your best friend 'til the day you were nine

What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love, tough love

Hotel rooms, bourbon and broads, a drifter living life without God
You've done it now, you planted a seed. Now the storm inside you - it swallows her

Baby love, alright
And I know life can be so strange
But I know I can make a change
I'm gonna wipe away the clouds for ya

I'm gonna be around for ya,
I'm gonna paint the town for ya,
I'm gonna make a promise to give you everything you want and need,
But she f*cked up now, cause she's bearing another mouth you can't feed

Cease production of a destructive breed,
Seek help cause your pride only makes you weak

And what is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter (can't take a stand), and calls it tough love, tough love
Your roots grow in the cracks of the alleys, college park made you
Man enough to see, man enough to see, there ain't a goddamn man in me
(There ain't a goddamn man in me)

Love, Sex, Riot

Swerve!
Put your hands up!

I don't mind getting violent; leave your pride at the door.
Shame is all we've been hiding, so take me down
Throw me into the drywall, you got that bullet I'll bite it.
Pop it off like you own me, and scratch my back when you ride it.

Nobody wants a couple of rights without a couple of wrongs, yeah.
And the fire that you're building up is coming off so strong,
It's like I'm burning inside when you spit my name
The rock, the roll, the pride, the shame.
Let's skip the foreplay and become the teenage waste.
That's what we call love, sex, riot,
So excited,
Love, sex, riot.

[Fronz:]
Alright, let's do this!
Gonna take you to the floor and rip off your clothes.
We can leave the door unlocked, everybody knows!
I'm gonna make your body shake, you can scream all night.
It's a LOVE SEX RIOT
You're invited!
Oh, here I am to get the party popping!
Six rounds of shots and now we're never stopping,
Just close your eyes and let your fantasy play,
Sex, drugs and violence is my anthem, OH!
Taking it up from the top, f*ck everybody hard in the middle,
If we get violent, oh, yeah.
We'll call it a riot and then we'll be done with the sex and now everybody's excited.

Nobody wants a couple of rights without a couple of wrongs, yeah,
And the fire that you're building up is coming off so strong,
It's like I'm burning inside when you spit my name
The rock, the roll, the pride, the shame.
Let's skip the foreplay and become the teenage waste.
That's what we call love, sex, riot,
So excited,
Love, sex, riot.

F*CK YOU!

It's riot, Imma' work it over till your tired,
Love it when you're screaming like a siren.
Ready aim ready aim fire, fire.
Riot, imma' set it off Imma' light it,
Heart beat beating like it's dynamite.
Ready aim ready aim fire, fire.

I don't mind getting violent, leave your pride at the door.
Shame is all we've been hiding, so take me down.

[Fronz:]
If we get violent, oh, yeah.
We'll call it a riot and then we'll be done with the sex and now everybody's excited.

It's riot, Imma' work it over till your tired,
Love it when you're screaming like a siren.
Ready aim ready aim fire, fire.
Riot, imma' set it off Imma' light it,
Heart beat beating like it's dynamited.
Ready aim ready aim fire, fire.
Fire, fire..

Her Monologue

Being alone are you scared of being alone?
Worried you'll be a shadow terrified of getting old

Insomnia tapers your eyelids and the adderall taught you how I lived
So flip a coin for every shade of gray
I bet you pick a needle to bargain with
Heads I bet you fall asleep,
Get tangled in the sheets,
Suffocate as you choke at the though of your own dreams,
You never fail to feel hollow now hush and let the dark swallow

Move a little closer, what are you afraid of?
Set the night on fire, baby burn it up
Tattooed on your chest, I.S.S.U.E.S
Move a little closer, what are you afraid of? (What are you afraid of?)

Zanies and panties on the floor,
To numb the pain
Another one night stand at the door you go insane

I can see you sleep through your bedroom window
You're killing yourself with lucid dreaming

I am manic depressive
Flipping coins for my fate
Now ain't that impressive?
Tails you never fail to feel hollow now hush and let the dark swallow

Move a little closer, what are you afraid of
Set the night on fire, baby burn it up
Tattooed on your chest, I.S.S.U.E.S
Move a little closer, what are you afraid of? (What are you afraid of?)

I am manic depressive
Flipping coins for my fate
Now ain't that impressive?

[Part 2 (Hidden Bonus):]

[Tyler:]
Like a coward in their darkest hour
Counting flowers for the petals when they love me not
Got you flippin' that position like a motherf*ckin' opportunist
Play from the pawns of the discord
You're burnin' out
Your stars are faded, why word 'em out?
Find freedom in the fact that no one will miss you,
Come in, shut the door
And embrace your issues

[Sno Tha Product:]
Yo. Look
I done heard a little bit about ISSUES.
But none compared to the shit that I got with you.
C-C-Cause I swear to God that you've got too much goin' on,
Let's start somethin' new.
Lemme get my shit, lemme get in my whip, hit shift
Then I'll drive to you.
Let me think a bit 'bout this
Cause I been really iffy on whether or not I'm sliding through.
You got me trippin' a little bit
And I'm thinkin' of figurin' how I can get it together
Cause I'm losin'.
Cause I'm literally getting the feeling you get when you itching to keep that drug you keep usin'.
Excuse me,
As I tear myself from the ground
And I keep to myself
Cause while I been thinkin' about the shit that you're putting me through,
I'm thinkin' that I'm a go with someone else
And I'm feelin' like:

[Tyler:]
YEAH!
Like a coward in their darkest hour
Counting flowers for the petals when they love me not
Got you flippin' that position like a motherf*ckin' opportunist
Play from the pawns of the discord
You're burnin' out
Your stars are faded why word 'em out
Find freedom in the fact that no one will miss you,
Come in, shut the door
And embrace your...

Issues, issues, issues
No one will miss you.
(Know I'm goin' miss you?)
Hey, yeah
