You liked me tillÂ’ you heard my shit on the radio
Well I hate to say but pop aintÂ’ going solo
You liked me tillÂ’ you heard my shit on the radio
But now IÂ’m just too mainstream for you, oh no
You liked me tillÂ’ you seen me on your t.v.
Well if youÂ’re so low below then why you watching
You say good things come to those who wait
Well IÂ’ve been waiting a long time for it

Chorus:
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that IÂ’ve flown away I see youÂ’ve chosen to stay behind me
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself

You say your quest is to bring it higher
Well I never seen change without a fire
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
But underneath I think itÂ’s a lot of yearning
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
To the point where you canÂ’t even say hello
You tell me youÂ’d kill me if I ever snob you out
Like thatÂ’s what youÂ’d expect from me, like thatÂ’s what IÂ’m about

Chorus

Bridge:
ItÂ’s so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing youÂ’re cool
Than to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
Than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire
Scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down
because weÂ’re all afraid of heights

Chorus

Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me so so,
leave me down down down down low leave me down da down down
da down da down down down...shit on the radio... shit on the
radio... shit on the radio... shit on the radio
