Brother Sisyphus

Few suspect, most can't tell
Not doing so well
Got good people who care
But ain't tryin' to share
Instead been

Pushin' a rock up back to the top and it rolls
Precious moments in balance at the summit
But just cannot hold

Anguish pain deep in us
Never heard my brothas discuss
Taught not to make a sissy fuss

Pushin' a rock up back to the top then it rolls
Precious moments in balance at the summit
But just cannot hold (Feels just like)
Pushin' a rock up back to the top
Then it rolls (Is there no way to stop it?)
Repeating a cycle a title
To burdens untold

Anguish pain so deep in us
Never heard my brothas discuss
Told me not to, now a Sisyphus

Pushin' a rock up back to the top
Then it rolls (Is there no way to stop it?)
Precious moments in balance at the summit
But just cannot hold (It's my fate, I posit)
Pushin' this rock up back to the top
Then it rolls (Tell me for whom it profits?)
Just don't know how to stop it
A title, burden untold
A state I can't cajole

Oh brotha, do you know? (Oh how this feels?)
How much to reveal?
Or harbor and conceal with so much skill
Up and down that hill?
I suspect I will
While still a brotha pushin' a rock

(Reach out for support)
The climbin' road is tough
(Know that just as you are, you are enough)
Enough
