Black Rock

Oh, well we come from Rockville, Maryland And where we come from, it's important No matter where you go in this entire world Is, you remember that place you know That place where you and your crew and your people You had that spot, you know what I mean? It's like you can go back in your mind, you know what I mean? At any point in time and know exactly where you were When you told your friends that you love them You know exactly where you were when you told your people That they're there for you, and you're there for them For us, it was a place called 'Black Rock' And that's what's this song is about On the Black Rock is where I spend my time Writing down memories or writing my rhyme Thinking about what's right or wrong On the Black Rock is where I like to go After a long night, home from our show That's where we're spending tonight Yeah, on Red Rock City Well, sometimes, I just look around And I take in the feeling coming out from the ground That's just something that I'm doing sometimes And then I come out my door And I pull in the wind coming up from the shore And that's just what we are doing tonight, yeah On the Black Rock is where I spend my time Writing down memories or writing a rhyme Thinking about what is right or wrong But on the Black Rock is where I like to go After a long night on the show That's where I write my song all night long, Black Rock And when you are on your own Not speaking out is like fighting alone And that's the worst damn way we can fight And when you are scared no more You reach your hand out and knock on my door That's just what you're doing tonight On the Black Rock is where I spend my time Writing down memories or writing a rhyme Thinking about what is right or wrong On the Black Rock is where I like to go After a long night, home from a show And that's where I write my song night long, Red Rock Hey, never could I, never could I, I could never believe They had to pinch me, baby, am I dreaming? Wake me up, please But maybe not, I'm at the spot In the back of my mind, where I keep it all the time I come from Rockville, MD right below the, the state line MD all the time Oh Cole, let you know something in my soul Yeah, it's like I'm ready to blast, ready to blow And it's never ever stopping but yeah gotta stop this My eyes got to break for a minute, so oh I open up my ears, start to listen When I open up my ears and started to listen I can hear you clear Old man break through the fog real near I've been sitting on a Black Rock there Think to myself, what's so clear? He said, "My man, my man, my man, you got, you got to let it all shine" I said, "Now, what's your name?" He said, "I'm Old man Todd" Yeah, my son and I've been waiting for you for so long I can see you're in pain and I know there's something wrong I know that you've been angry I know that you've seen hell But you gotta dig deep to the heavens above Sit down learn and create Gotta loose all your anger, lose all your anger It ain't gonna work no more I wish the world was run by love Absolutely nothing more Let out all my pain, got rid of my hair I'm just chilling on a big Black Rock For the rest of my life, this is where I stand We all have a Black Rock in our mind And I go there all the time Take me back to Red Rock
