Imagine Dragons - Demons

They say it’s what you make

I say it’s up to fate

It’s woven in my soul

I need to let you go

Baby.. I have travelled through the stars

And many moons to find you

Baby, the sugar on your skin

The sweetest melanin yea

Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide,

No escape from reality

Drake - God’s Plan

She said, "Do you love me?" I tell her, "Only partly"

I only love my bed and my momma, I'm sorry

Fifty Dub, I even got it tatted on me

81, they'll bring the crashers to the party

Logic – 1-800

I know where you been, where you are, where you goin'

I know you're the reason I believe in life

What's the day without a little night?

I'm just tryna shed a little light

And I could see you comin' home after work late

You're in the kitchen, tryin' to fix us a hot plate

You just workin' with the scraps you was given

And Mama made miracles every Thanksgivin'

I just wanna stay in the sun where I find

I know it's hard sometimes

Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind

I know it's hard sometimes
