[Chorus 1]
I’ve been weighed down, laid down, way
down low
It’s like my God try to humble me
With the people right in front of me
(2x)
[Verse 1]
She said she related to Paul McCartney, Has a friend who knows the beatles
So go ahead and sing me your best song, And she’s so drunk that she talks in circles
I don’t believe it my daughters will love this, Better believe Imma show my husband
Better believe that I have connections, Better believe that your fame is justice
[Prechorus 1]
But its just this, person makes a promise
Claim to fame, and I’m taking her serious
I’m making magic, under the Imperius
Don’t wanna do it, don’t wanna do it
[Chorus 2]
I’ve been weighed down, laid down, way
down low
It’s like my God try to humble me
With the people right in front of me
(2x)
[Verse 2]
And does your wife work? I bet your wife works, good for you try to chase a dream
If you decide to quit, then you can work for me
Start paying for the dates that you have in the week
Wait, wait, people pay for what you make?
Make a small check, grow a stiff neck, thrust it out, at the end of the day
The hustle ends in a heart of faith
[Prechorus 2]
But it’s just that, person makes a comment,
seed of doubt, and I’m the one who waters it
I’m making magic in one bedroom apartments,
not gonna stop it, just getting started
[Chorus 3]
I’ve been weighed down, laid down, way
down low
It’s like my God try to humble me
With the people right in front of me
(2x)
[Bridge]
And I’ve been tired of trying, a time we hope that’s
brighter will shine a light in us
I hope you find a place to call your own

It all started with a goal to become a good songwriter, which then became a terrible obsession, which later became something to enjoy. I hope you enjoy the first of (hopefully) many albums.
