Lyrics

Yeah, say what, say what

Uh huh, say what, say what

Yeah, let's go

Yeah, Silent Knight y'all

Illmind y'all, Hunger Strike y'all

Yeah, now

Love ain't blind but it's losing its sight

You see, we as eyes and we ain't using them right

And if we admit it or not, we're influenced by hype

Whether it's choosing a wife or the music we like

See somebody on a tube with a mic and assume that he's nice

Got him on your iTunes that night

It's not right, but yo that's the plight of the music biz

We need somebody, it doesn't matter who it is

Posters in your room of his, only exclusive shit

Showing off now, before you only knew the hits

Soon as his career flop, don't appear shocked

Hop on the next bandwagon that seem hot

And these slots get filled by any means

Trying to keep up with whatever the weather brings

Nowadays you get paid for saying anything

So platinum plaques don't mean shit like wedding rings

What you want? Somebody to hug, somebody to hold

Somebody you can really grow old with

What you need? Somebody to love, somebody to lust

Somebody just to talk on the phone with

What you want? Somebody to chill with, somebody to build with

Somebody you can call your own

What you need? Somebody (say what?) somebody (say what?)

Somebody (say what?) somebody to love

Love ain't wrong but it's losing its place

You know, we put it off and assume it could wait

And if we admit it or not, we got rules when we play

Whether it's the music we make or choosing a mate

Meet somebody that's cool and attractive

And treat it like practice, cause you're waiting for the total package

The front and the back and the wallet or pocketbook

The face and the clothes and the car that they drive into

You got an image in your head being built since you were ten

And you'll be damned if you let it go and settle down

So you can have a couple flings, you can have a couple friends

But they can't expect a ring or you to settle down

For now it's all about having fun

You'll think about the next step when you at it, huh?

And see you out of luck, desperate and losing it

And need somebody, it doesn't matter who it is

No matter how old we get, how grown we act

We never let go of our past

And you can fight it if you want to

Deny it, but it haunts you

That little kid inside whose pride had been stomped through

Comes out to play in a subconscious way

And I love life, but hey maybe even at a job too

And that could be major depending on your job description

If you're something like a cop or a politician

Bickering, bitter and angry

Lonely even with your trophy family

And your actions kind of suggest you're trying to impress

The opposite sex by being as tough as you can be

Or get back on the next that you trained and gave weapons to

Now you're claiming that they're a threat

Ain't that a mess? You just need a scapegoat to sacrifice

Anybody yo, it doesn't really matter, right?
