Seems like your heart stops working The minute they close the curtain And you take off your mask And you take off your costume And if anyone asks you're taking a small break Drinking some coffee But everyone knows what you're doing Seems like the bus moves slower Just cause you got somewhere to go So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills But if anyone asks you've got a prescription You got an addiction Who do you think that you're fooling? John doe, I just want the john I know Once you put the drinks on hold Maybe you could come back home John doe, ooh oh oh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh B.o.B: Everybody's addicted to something Everybody got a grip onto something, Even if it's just the feel too responsible appeal, Maybe once, maybe twice Maybe hundreds of times, hundreds of times But that it's just harder to function at times You wasted at the bottom of every single bottle As if it was someone or something to find You're struggling in your mind And you tell yourself lie after lie And you get to the point where there's no longer vibin The people that you work with notice the signs When you walk in the room, niggas know that's required So you break up the silence, you say you've been at the gym But the way look can't blame on the diet So what you hiding? John doe, I just want the john I know Once you put the drinks on hold Maybe you could come back home John doe, ooh oh oh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh B.o.B: Yeah, I've probably had too many things Mashed too many freaks Had too much to drop me I mean, had too much to drink Left the club, ended up in custody Ran the drug tests, passed it luckily My girl broke with me, 'cause she woke me up suddenly With a woman up on me I told her wait! It ain't what it look like I must've slip and fell, clumsy me Well, at least I admit it, 'cause the worst you could do Is to do it and not to be man enough to say that you did it, That's just how you prevent it, well I ain't no different I love all the money, the fame And the parties with beautiful women! I spend so much time as an underground artist 'Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business That I've become? But that what you'd judge I become The path with the greatest resistance That's how the tables can turn when they pivot And change the perspective and flip your entire position My whole life I've been dying to wish and to live the experience That every thing's possible when I told 'em my dreams They just said they were logical Now, I can see it, it's optical (optical) Ooh oh oh ohoh ooh Ooh oh oh ohoh ooh John doe, I just want the john I know Once you put the drinks on hold Maybe you could come back home John doe!
