Black Boys on the Radio Songtext
von Benjamin Carter

She said, "Black boys always play on the radio"
I said, "It′s strange how you listen, but don't have to watch me grow" yeah
I found my place choking on my hopes and dreams
I can′t wash it all down, 'cause I'm scared I′ll forget the sting, yeah

And you found me sitting down so hopeless
You never thought I′d be more than this

So I pour out all my drinks for my mistakes (my mistakes)
And I know that when I cry, it will make you stay
So please don't, please don′t run away

You still play Fall Out Boy and that band that starts with Green (yeah)
I never listened to them much, so you're scared to mess with me, yeah
I wrote this song hoping for an apology
I need a validation now that this ain′t the end for me

And you never tell me I'll get better
But you always copy my old swagger


So I pour out all my drinks for my mistakes (my mistakes)
And I know that when I cry, it will make you stay
So please don′t, please don't run away

If you hear me talk on the radio
And you don't like the material
Get lost
I′m making mine on residuals
So stick around
Stick around, yeah

If you hear me talk on the radio
And you don′t like the material
Get lost
I'm making mine on residuals
So stick around
So stick around, yeah

I pour out all my drinks for my mistakes
And I know that when I cry, it will make you stay
So please don′t, please don't run away
