lyrics

Look at what they got they don’t deserve it, I struggled longer I’m worth it
They’ve been given the money but they won’t be using it for higher purpose
I’m the proper servant... God... where you at God?
You gonna leave your children broke searching for crumbs that they can snack on?
You said you’ll never forsake me, but you played me
How you gonna have me starving and then hit them with a house and a new Mercedes?
Fuck it, maybe you ain’t real God, for real God
You the one that gave me the signs said it was time for me to proceed with faith and to be real strong
Now all of my faith has passed on...

Hook
This is the sound of cries when dreams die (x4)
I got, the weight of the world on my shoulders like
Sisyphus struggling rolling the heaviest boulder
Only to watch it roll it towards him
Over again… (x4)

Where am I at I shouldn’t be here what happened to dreams
Seems like, I’m stuck in between what I got and what I should’ve received
My efforts futile (fu-tile), looking in the mirror like who you? now
The weight of my obligation stronger ‘cause I now got 2 childs
And dreams don’t cook the rice and sure don’t buy it just like to talk don’t
The bullshit has run throughout our porcelain shop and left us all broke
So where’s the buck when need you it?... Peep it...
My philosophy... based on manifest destination untill I didn’t receive the gift
Of meritocratic philosophical bases, keep trying, nah
There’s a line between time-wise and time wasted
And I won’t waste another minute spinning my wheels with affirmations
Reading some recitations thinking they’ll change my manifestations
Take ‘em… and put them in the flames where my dreams will be the embers
They were... once whole but now they’re ashes and dismembered
Gone, you’d be lucky to put them back together
They are now like, a bird chained to the ground wanting to fly but lacking the feathers dying...

Hook
