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
