Ordinary Life

歌詞

The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try I wont let nothing ever stop my shine I know that something better is in store for me Than this ordinary life that i lead And as i raise my head to the sky I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be This ordinary life that i lead Imagine living on a mountain next door to the sky Overlooking the tree tops watching the birds fly View of a lake that will glisten at night when the moon shine Imagine what that life be like, No more hardship and drama Just comfort and wealth No colds and flu's we all live with inifite health No reason for tears blood sweat And every thing else that comes with it We all Living with no reason to doubt Back to reality back to an unsatisfied salary The day to day struggle that my fam suffers badly And when it seems like it gets a bit better Gradually a casualty will take place Leaving people unhappy man But still i move forward hoping for better things And that one day I'll live it Instead of imagining my neck tilted up my head To the clouds my feet on the ground, Come and talk to me [chorus] The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try I wont let nothing ever stop my shine I know that something better is in store for me Than this ordinary life that i lead And as i raise my head to the sky I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be This ordinary life that i lead Back to my life Back to my job Back to the slavehouse working from 9 to 5 Back to reality you know it ain't music Back to the dramas The same old bullshit The same old chores Taking tolls on my working hand the Lord knows I ain't no factory working man Feel like my old man trying to support a family and Mad at the world cause the world don't understand me Cause everyday I hope And I pray for the right cause and Even if my life gets harder I got God I'm feeling so much pressure on my shoulders, I'm brushing off All the hatred in my direction I'm able to carry on Yeah I know I ain't perfect But you know I got to try for all the blood, Sweat and tears my pop sacrificed My necks tilted up my face to the clouds My feet on the ground I'm talking to you Lord [chorus] The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try I wont let nothing ever stop my shine I know that something better is in store for me Than this ordinary life that i lead And as i raise my head to the sky I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be This ordinary life that i lead Everyday I wake up I'm frustrated It hurts not looking forward to a morning of work Its like I'm glued to my mattress Why I cant get out of bed The 6AM alarm's doing my head in I swallow my pride Feel like I'm tied up in a knot Like I'm walking on a treadmill Still in the same spot 9 to 5 minimum wage is definitely not for me Me I don't need binocs To see the amount of stress on my shoulders, I'm only a man So I take it out at the gym And press as much as I can I swear if this is life for me I don't wana live it, I know there's more in store for me Than this fucked up prison Yeah the truth is i made a promise to my family That's why i have to carry The torch like Cathy Freeman man My necks tilted up My face to the clouds My feet on the ground Now talk to me lord [chorus] The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try I wont let nothing ever stop my shine I know that something better is in store for me Than this ordinary life that i lead And as i raise my head to the sky I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be This ordinary life that i lead
