Sweatshop Union - Now lyrics

rate me

Check-check-check

Yo, something should’ve told me these days would come,

Faith is at a low and life weighs a ton

Wanna lay down and die but I’m way too young

And no, we didn’t come all this way for none

Flash back, 5 years we was brave and dumb

Wanna rap, change the world, rearrange the sun

Had hopes so we waited ‘til the paper come

The paper never came so now we jaded sun

Never been about the money, it’s more the time we spent

Keep thinkin’ I’m too old to shuck and jive for rent

…….. but you know I’ve got a lot to tell ‘em

How can I tell them I no long feel in line with them

Travel the world, autographs we be signing them

Had enough girls but honestly I’m tired of them

Trying to win, still living in this life in sin

And I would give it all away to someone like ….

Right now

Right now, feel like I’m wasting my time

It’s like I’m waiting in line with no patience to finally make it

And I’m trying to find a place to recline

And relieve this stress that weighs on my mind

‘Cause right now it’s all so fake

I’m trying to escape and find a little space in time to myself

For my mind to be healthy enough to deal with some of the cards that I dealt to myself

Right now

It’s been a long road it seems

Just trying to mold reality from hopes and dreams

And now, I’m not so sure it’s the life I wanted

Might just call it quits, get a wife and all that and just settle down

It’s the truth if I sound a little bitter don’t get it misconstrued

Just a bit confused, sick of drifting through this life

I want to see it from a different view

But I ain’t got what I wanted to get off my chest, off it yet

Not about to stop and step away

Not someone who ever dropped a cheque,

Was never in it for the money, y’all let’s not forget

I mean, I’ve got respect and that should be enough

I guess 5 years back it would be but what’s next?

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for all this success

And I’m not depressed, I’m just stressed

Right now

Right now, feel like I’m wasting my time

It’s like I’m waiting in line with no patience to finally make it

And I’m trying to find a place to recline

And relieve this stress that weighs on my mind

‘Cause right now it’s all so fake

I’m trying to escape and find a little bit of space in time to myself

For my mind to be healthy enough to deal with some of the cards that I dealt to myself

Right now
