Wounds of a Peasant - Prod. by S...

(Intro)

Yo, MC Pancho, Look. Yeah...

 

(Hook)

These are, these are the wounds of a peasant man

Hopeless kid without a chance

Go ahead, reach out and touch his hands

And feel the bruise, the wounds of a peasant man

 

(Verse 1)

Everyday I ask myself the cost of being educated

No food in the fridge, a single mother, grades below basic

A car in dire need of replacement

The cards are stacked against us and I'm getting agitated

 

I don't want my bros to grow up hungry or stupid

And I don't want to be useless with a dead end job

I seen most of my family do it work their whole lives for no cause

But we have to, to get through it, so we beg to God.

 

I'm going to school trying to setup a career

Save my mom from being a gas station cashier

I'm sitting in class trying to interpret the board

It's not working, I'm still getting low test scores

 

Hoping to god they Improve

If I fail I won't have left to choose

And my family's dependent on me to pay dues

There is no room for failure, no room for excuse

So how do you win, when you're destined to lose?

 

So how do you win, when you're destined to lose?

Please someone tell me how I win, when I'm destined to lose.

 

(Hook)

 

(Verse 2)

Have you ever fit seven people in one room?

Slept on the floor, strangers in the bathroom

Or lived so broke you had to duct tape your own shoes

Collecting cans to make enough money for food

 

My fucking father left when I was only a kid

Then the second dad decided to give up and quit

How was I to know I'd have to replace their image?

Four siblings following me, I better move different?

 

I've got a missing childhood I had to grow quick

Sometimes I wish I could go back to being an infant

I gained a thousand problems in a fucking instant

Now as an adult the weight has grown and thickened

 

So give me a good reason to keep going the distance

I don't want to fail my family but I'm feeling insufficient

I'm about to pull the trigger I shouldn't

But Lucifer promises relief with just one bullet

 

He promises relief with just one bullet

(Quietly) He promises relief with just one bullet

 

(Hook)

In the midst of my depression, aiming for succession

I've managed to isolate myself within detention

My friend don't come around as often

All busy fighting battles, playing has become no option

 

I miss opening up to my brother

It's only been two months, but feels like longer

I'm returning to bad habits, waiting for life to happen

Sorry to my friends and family for constantly being absent

 

I hope one day, it'll all go away, but I'm staring in the mirror wondering

what the fuck is going on within my brain

I'm looking for some sane, I'm looking for some faith

Please someone teach me and explain

 

I'm looking for a reason

Time flying through the seasons

and my dreams are dissipating in the evening

I won't stop till my heart stops beating, Till i stop breathing

But who awaits at the end, an angel or a demon?
