Hurting Shoulders

I got blood in my eyes, pain on my brain,
been dropped on my head,
yeah I been left for dead,
but I got the heart of a soldier,
dodging all these voltures,
feeling like the last one left
just like I'm Noah,
I would never fold up,
life is a rollercoaster,
you're up and then you're down
just try your best not to throw up,
lost a lot of people on the road to my destiny,
sometimes your best friends & family,
can turn to enemies,
trying to carry out the vision,
God has planned for me,
made some mistakes,
but understand it's just the man in me,
sometimes you look around
wonder who really there for ya,
if you got sick who really would
say a prayer for ya,
would you stand on my side even
when I'm wrong,
if my enemies come to get me
would you stand strong,
and if I die would you come speak
at my eulogy,
and when I'm gone
how long would you remember me?

who's gonna be here even in the hard times,
and who's gonna be here
to tell me that it's alright,
who's gonna be here when it's all over,
and who's gonna help lift
the weight off of these hurting shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders

I'm getting revenge in my nightmares,
Lord don't let me go there,
but how much longer can I take
the cold heart and cold stares,
be angry but sin not cause sin got
the rope with the knots to leave you
tied up to rot it's such a thin plot,
Jesus said come to me if you weary
and carry heavy burdens
and I will give you rest,
but I gotta confess
it's hard to pick my face up off
the deck
when it's so much stress
that just sits upon my chest,
yes I'm a mess
but until the date of my death
I'll always give my best
with or without your respect,
so I don't really care
if you ain't liking this,
holding back my tears
as I'm reciting this,
who the next black boy
to get popped by the cops,
who the next homeboy
in the hood to get shot,
I hope it ain't me so I'm prayed up
and bulletproof,
wanna think like Him so I'm asking
what would Jesus do

He's gonna be here even in the hard times,
and He's gonna be here
to tell me that it's alright,
He's gonna be here when it's all over,
and He's gonna help lift
the weight off of these hurting shoulders

as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders

as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit upon the shoulders
as I'm getting older
this world is getting colder,
(Yeah)
They just sitting on these shoulders
(Yeah)
this world is getting colder,
heavy are these Boulders
that sit's on these shoulders(man)

who's gonna be here even in the hard times,
and who's gonna be here
to tell me that it's alright,
who's gonna be here when it's all over,
and who's gonna help lift
the weight off of these hurting shoulders
