Miracle

I'm looking for a miracle
I'm looking for a miracle
But they never come in time
I've been running for my life
I'm just tryna figure out
How to do more than just survive
I keep looking for a miracle
Looking for a miracle
But they never come in time
And I'm running for my life
Sick of waiting on a miracle

Living on the block where it's really real
And this lower class life ain't no fairytale
Barely surviving
We fear for our lives
And we're too scared to try
We're afraid to fail
Do you have any clue what your head does
When you're surrounded by fiends tryna get drugs
With a rose and a chore
And their face all covered in sores
And their scratching off bed bugs
Tried to do the right thing and go to college
Thought I'd find freedom in the knowledge
I just went deep in debt for a worthless degree
That won't ever put no money in my pockets
When you work really hard it gets hectic
When the money ain't enough for you to get shit
Sick of bustin' my ass
For this little bit of cash
That can barely pay the gas or the electric
So I write my pain with a pen and ped
Sick and tired of always getting mad
Cause I want all the things I can never have
And my loyalties only set me back
But you can't do good cause they'll envy that
And to an early grave they will send you at
Feels like the whole world's caving right in on me

I'm looking for a miracle
I'm looking for a miracle
But they never come in time
I've been running for my life
I'm just tryna figure out
How to do more than just survive
I keep looking for a miracle
Looking for a miracle
But they never come in time
And I'm running for my life
Sick of waiting on a miracle

The weight of this pain that I'm trying to bare
So close to dying I cry in despair
Learned at a young age that life isn't fair
But I'm fighting for more like I'm fighting for air
Once you hit bottom it's never the same
I'll rob me a bank for I beg for some change
Gun on my side
With my anger and pride
Cause I'd rather you kill me that settle with shame
Back to the wall, and my options are few
Are problem for me is a problem for you,
I'm robbing your house
and kidnapping your spouse
Before my own son will be starving for you
You sit there act like this shit is a joke
I look through the lens of the liquor and smoke
It's not how it aught to be
Tired of poverty
Waiting on lottery tickets and hope

But you don't want to go shed blood wit guns
So you feel like you just wanna up and run
Cause you scream out loud 'til your lungs are numb
But they don't understand where you coming from
It's like you pay one bill there's another one
Like you work real hard but getting nothing done
Feels like the whole world's caving right in on me

I'm looking for a miracle
I'm looking for a miracle
But they never come in time
I've been running for my life
I'm just tryna figure out
How to do more than just survive
I keep looking for a miracle
Looking for a miracle
But they never come in time
And I'm running for my life
Sick of waiting on a miracle
