Skin In The Game

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

Wide awake
And I know why it's taken me so long
To reclaim my power
The hurting made me strong
I've lost count how many times I have changed
There's an art to having skin in the game

Been afraid of running out of fucks to give
Lowest place considering where I have been
It's the simple truth that one day I will die
Or the courage it takes for a warrior to cry

It's like the song I was singing
Sitting on my bedroom floor
Or that familiar feeling like I've been here before

Well, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na-na-na na-na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

What I want
Will rarely meet at what I need
Nothin's wrong
With setting better boundaries
Like the softness you earn when you break your own bread
Or that playful heart that became your first defence

Well, I know yes I know
I sure as shit know I turned some kind of page
And I will, yes I will
Learn to love the side of me that holds all the shame
When I gave myself permission to feel the pain
There's an art to having skin in the game

Well, there is something so sacred
And perfect in placement, uh huh
'Cause I am buzzing in beauty and feasting on honey alright

Well, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

But, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na-na-na-na na-na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

Wait keep recording

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

Peau dans le jeu

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

Bien réveillé
Et je sais pourquoi cela m'a pris si longtemps
Pour récupérer mon pouvoir
La douleur m'a rendu fort
J'ai perdu le compte du nombre de fois où j'ai changé
Il y a un art à avoir la peau dans le jeu

J'avais peur de manquer de "fucks" à donner
Le point le plus bas compte tenu d'où j'ai été
C'est la simple vérité qu'un jour je mourrai
Ou le courage qu'il faut à un guerrier pour pleurer

C'est comme la chanson que je chantais
Assis sur le sol de ma chambre
Ou cette sensation familière comme si j'avais déjà été là

Eh bien, tu peux certainement me secouer
Mais, rien ne peut me briser, na-na
Ouais, tu peux certainement me secouer
Mais, rien ne peut me briser, na-na-na-na na-na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

Ce que je veux
Rencontrera rarement ce dont j'ai besoin
Rien de mal
À fixer de meilleures limites
Comme la douceur que tu gagnes quand tu fais ton propre pain
Ou ce cœur joueur qui est devenu ta première défense

Eh bien, je sais oui je sais
Je sais bien que j'ai tourné une certaine page
Et je vais, oui je vais
Apprendre à aimer le côté de moi qui porte toute la honte
Quand je me suis donné la permission de ressentir la douleur
Il y a un art à avoir la peau dans le jeu

Eh bien, il y a quelque chose de si sacré
Et parfait dans son placement, uh huh
Parce que je bourdonne de beauté et je me régale de miel, d'accord

Eh bien, tu peux certainement me secouer
Mais, rien ne peut me briser, na-na
Ouais, tu peux certainement me secouer
Mais, rien ne peut me briser, na-na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

Mais, tu peux certainement me secouer
Mais, rien ne peut me briser, na-na
Ouais, tu peux certainement me secouer
Mais, rien ne peut me briser, na-na-na-na na-na-na

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do

Attends, continue d'enregistrer
