Ordinary Life Lyrics

The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try
I wont let nothing ever stop my shine
I know that something better is in store for me
Than this ordinary life that i lead
and as i raise my head to the sky
I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride
Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be
This ordinary life that i lead

Imagine living on a mountain next door to the sky
Overlooking the tree tops watching the birds fly
View of a lake that will glisten at night when the moon shine
Imagine what that life be like,
no more hardship and drama
Just comfort and wealth
no colds and flu's we all live with inifite health
No reason for tears blood sweat
and every thing else that comes with it
we all Living with no reason to doubt
back to reality back to an unsatisfied salary
the day to day struggle that my fam suffers badly
and when it seems like it gets a bit better
gradually a casualty will take place
leaving people unhappy man
but still i move forward hoping for better things
and that one day I'll live it
instead of imagining my neck tilted up my head
to the clouds my feet on the ground,
come and talk to me

[chorus]
The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try
I wont let nothing ever stop my shine
I know that something better is in store for me
Than this ordinary life that i lead
and as i raise my head to the sky
I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride
Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be
This ordinary life that i lead

Back to my life
back to my job
back to the slavehouse working from 9 to 5
Back to reality you know it ain't music
back to the dramas
the same old bullshit
the same old chores
taking tolls on my working hand the
Lord knows I ain't no factory working man
feel like my old man trying to support a family and
mad at the world cause the world don't understand me
Cause everyday I hope
and I pray for the right cause and
Even if my life gets harder I got God
I'm feeling so much pressure on my shoulders, Smashproof - Ordinary Life - http://motolyrics.com/smashproof/ordinary-life-lyrics.html
I'm brushing off
all the hatred in my direction I'm able to carry on
Yeah I know I ain't perfect
but you know I got to try for all the blood,
sweat and tears my pop sacrificed
My necks tilted up my face to the clouds
my feet on the ground I'm talking to you Lord

[chorus]
The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try
I wont let nothing ever stop my shine
I know that something better is in store for me
Than this ordinary life that i lead
and as i raise my head to the sky
I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride
Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be
This ordinary life that i lead

Everyday I wake up I'm frustrated
it hurts not looking forward to a morning of work
Its like I'm glued to my mattress
why I cant get out of bed
the 6AM alarm's doing my head in
I swallow my pride
Feel like I'm tied up in a knot
like I'm walking on a treadmill
still in the same spot
9 to 5 minimum wage is definitely not for me
Me I don't need binocs
to see the amount of stress on my shoulders,
I'm only a man
So I take it out at the gym
and press as much as I can
I swear if this is life for me
I don't wana live it,
I know there's more in store for me
than this fucked up prison
yeah the truth is i made a promise to my family
that's why i have to carry
the torch like Cathy Freeman man
My necks tilted up
my face to the clouds
my feet on the ground
now talk to me lord

[chorus]
The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try
I wont let nothing ever stop my shine
I know that something better is in store for me
Than this ordinary life that i lead
and as i raise my head to the sky
I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride
Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be
This ordinary life that i lead
