Life...

My pockets feel like parachutes: full of air
My credit card bill’s sky high, I can’t hide my despair
The cost of livin’ ain’t cheap; I’m knee deep in debt
The world is on my shoulders; life’s a blur of regret
All a part of life

Through my smile, I wear a frown
Got my chin up, but I’m looking down
Don’t nobody know my pain but me
I gotta press through the adversity
It’s all a part of life

The rain is pouring, but I gotta stick it out
To gain prosperity, but I’m having so much doubt
To where I’m headed in this reality of strife
I just shrug it off, and think “This is what they call life”

And I’m stuck in it without parole…

Stuck in a dead-end job, just waiting for the time to pass me by
Searching for peace within this chaos, hopin’ that the lie
That was my life would come back; save me from this
Harsh reality; never believed it when they said “Real Life Ain’t Bliss”

I know that my situation could be so much worse
Than what it is; the worst of my storm has almost passed
Lord, you said you’d never give me more than I can take
But I can’t help but to think that my storm will last

The rain is pouring, but I gotta stick it out
To gain prosperity, but I’m having so much doubt
To where I’m headed in this reality of strife
I just shrug it off, and think “This is what they call life”

And I’m stuck in it without parole…

I know that my situation could be so much worse
Than what it is; the worst of my storm has almost passed
Lord, you said you’d never give me more than I can take
But I can’t help but to think that my storm will last

The rain is pouring, but I gotta stick it out
To gain prosperity, but I’m having so much doubt
To where I’m headed in this reality of strife
I just shrug it off, and think “This is what they call life”

My pockets feel like parachutes: full of air
My credit card bill’s sky high, I can’t hide my despair
The cost of livin’ ain’t cheap; I’m knee deep in debt
The world is on my shoulders; life’s a blur of regret
All a part of life
