Anthony Talbert Jr. - The System lyrics

(Verse 1) Not exactly sure what I'm trying to say Feels like nowadays I'm just finding the way It's obvious I'm lost Somewhere on a road I got a solid plan That's full of hollow holes I walk to work In hundred dollar clothes Can't afford a car to drive But blow a whole check on a new cardigan Trying too hard again Seems like everybody's trying too hard to win And evil's in style Trying too hard to sin My mind is a mess My thoughts are eccentric Half of me is blessed But the other half is vexed Just tryna vent some stress These words are a pendant Closest to my heart they could ever be Don't have one boundary But still I'm never free Contacts on my eyes But I never see And every time I look in the mirror it's never me Working seven days a week Now it's all cream Such a large gap between reality and dreams And as dreams are getting farther Reality gets darker Losing gets easier But life gets harder So why try so hard Why even bother? Feeling so far from a heavenly father They tell me that you're real But I'm wondering where are ya? I'm exposing the truth Once I lose all faith You just show me some proof After wandering all day You just show me the way Get that feeling then I pray Just for it to stay Knowing just what to say To end my dismay Transitioning from light To morally grey Yours cordially Jay (Bridge) I understand I need to get it back And I understand this is a lonely road But I also understand how to live with that Praying you never give my limits back Cause for a minute I was finished Just sick of rap (Verse 2) Just missed d**h Guess I'm just blessed What happened to the good girls? Guess it's none left Used to get respect Now they get undressed Even the church girls can't get enough s** Damn sh**'s changed Damn sh**'s strange God shows us things pastors can't explain It's not complex It's candid plain I rhyme design name And brandish flame The chemistry is here The reaction present We can't take it back But we can regret it The pains on your face The expressions endless She took my soul Left me breathless
