By The Fire

(I got a bottle and some shit on my mind)

(Whoa, oh, oh) the liquor never made me a liar
I got a bottle and some shit on my mind (oh, oh, oh)
Pour out the truth serum over some ice and sit right by my side
And we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Then we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Then we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Speak your mind by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Ain't no lies by the fire

Well, I'm out there, I got trust issues, so if you here then I fucks with you
See, we ain't gotta play politics and no bipartisan kinda shit
So just sit on down and let's talk about the things
That keep causin' these arguments
Shit, I can tell you why folks' so mad
Everybody be tellin' them that it ain't so bad
Even though they'd be strugglin'
And they bust they ass for everythin' that they have, and I understand

But everybody's so in their feels, tryna make everythin' 'bout them
We can never begin to heal if we don't see how each other live
Take a look through a new lens
See it the way that it looks from a few friends
Not the way that the media makes the news bend
Continuin' to push the divide between us

It's obvious that they're only feedin' shit that is skewin'
A few points so it makes you think that you win
Anytime you win an argument, and then you choose them
Like everybody gets just ignorant and stupid
But the truth is, I wanna pursue this
Let me get us refills, then I'ma tie up these loose ends

(Whoa, oh, oh) the liquor never made me a liar
I got a bottle and some shit on my mind (oh, oh, oh)
Pour out the true serum over some ice and sit right by my side
And we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Then we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Then we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Speak your mind by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Ain't no lies by the fire

We can't move forward if we just look back
But the lessons that we learned in the past
Are important to continuin' to grow
Makin' sure we advance, 'cause you're either growin' or dyin'
So open your stance, understand, everybody ain't just like you
And they can't, and they won't live like you do
But you gotta go and meet them on the middle ground
If you want to whittle down the issues that divide the two

Fuck racism, black lives matter
Support the troops, stand up and take my hat off
If a woman isn't ready for a baby
Who the fuck am I to tell her that she doesn't get a say in if she has one?
Second Amendment supporter
I think that anybody of a sound mind
That passes a background check, ought to be able to have guns
And they shouldn't be denied 'cause of marijuana

Listen, I'm just talkin' free
And I'm wearin' my heart on my sleeve
I'm tryna bridge the divide, I see good inside
Everyone around the fire with me
I know we won't always agree
And to think any different is crazy
All I want's the American dream
For everyone to get a fair chance to chase it

I'm so fuckin' done with the hate
No matter your age or your faith or your race
We all goin' to end up inside of a grave
So let's warm from the cold world around these flames

(Whoa, oh, oh) the liquor never made me a liar
I got a bottle and some shit on my mind (oh, oh, oh)
Pour out the true serum over some ice and sit right by my side
And we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Then we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Then we'll vibe by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Speak your mind by the fire (oh, oh, oh)
Ain't no lies by the fire
