Sick of feeling right and feeling wrong
Ive been in this place way too long
Ive been down and Ive been strong
Now what the hell is going on
Its getting harder but I know Ill make it
And theres no code in my DNA to front or fake it
I got these clouds hovering and hanging
And the darkness consumes me
How long will I stand and fight
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul my blood
Aint that enough
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
I must confess
I break from the stress
I tell my story
Get it off my chest
Greenlight till I get it right
Aint no stopping till I save my life
Harder to breathe
Its getting harder to see
A future in front of me
Suffocated and vindicated
Never a minute goes by thats justified
How long will I stand and fight
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul my blood
Aint that enough
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
Give it my all
Even when I fall
Back against the wall
When push comes to shove
Im not giving up
No no
Dedicated to the overworked
Who put everything on the line
For those they love until it hurts
Keep your head up when it got tough
Kept faith and love when the roads dem get rough
A thousand lives couldnt pay for the strength you gave
Or the energy you gave up
I havent prayed in years but I know youre there somewhere
How long will I stand and fight
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
My soul my blood
Aint that enough
God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
Oh yeah a thousand lifetimes
I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
