lirik lagu thomas burgundy – burgundy soul
was it always like this?
for brothers like me
make a couple dollars, spend them on some nikes
in this manufactured society, it’s unlikely
to avoid falling victim to the system then complain about how we’re not free
but momma told me, “when you gon’ make a living on your own?
can’t just sit around here all day”
i said, momma i don’t know, but did you check the home phone? employer said that he would call me back on friday
(never called)
but i got money schemes, coming to me in my dreams, not a 9 to 5, please just try to understand
i know it’s never what it seems, but i got a couple things, lining up with timing you can trust i got a plan
but a wise man told me
“just so you know
when you’re chasing all this gold
it’ll never make you whole
you gon’ only want some more
you might lose your soul
why you chasing all this gold baby?
you gone only want some more baby
what’s the point to gain the whole world
and lose your own soul?” said, “i’m just tryna let you kno-
but i said
pardon me, but n-gg-s gotta eat, man i’m tired of seeing
momma leave groceries in the store, cause we can’t afford…
all we need for the coming week, so we only bring just enough for another 24… nothing more
man that’s way more than enough incentive
i told her there’ll be better days and i meant it
just gimme some time, and i promise we gone get this money
yeah they gon’ never take this from me
but you hear it all time
single mother on the grind
left the kids back at home, baby sat by uncle sam
he tried to tell me all i see, is all we’ll ever be
don’t work, just take this ebt, and don’t you bite the hand
plus he gave me some drugs to sell
he’ll end up with the money i’ll end up in jail
other countries get the weapons i just funded, d-mn
and all i wanted was some cash in my hand, now the war don’t end
see the pastor told me
that the love of money
is the root of all evil
i don’t love it, but i need it
but i seen it take a toll on my soul today
lord forgive me but i feel like it’s controlling me
but raini asked me if i plan on being super rich…
i told her yes
not for me, but for my family & my future kids
cause i can’t see them live like this
so when you see us do this, hope you understand now
yeah we’re just tryna have what we never had now
and god gave me hands to work, not for hand-outs
he’s always provided but he told me “you’s a man now
(oh-woah-woah)
yeah baby you’s a man now
only gonna eat by the work of your hands now
seek the kingdom and watch everything else pan out
yeah i got a plan but it’s time for you to branch out
(oh-woah-woah)
just don’t let it take your soul
baby just don’t let it take your soul
just enough will solve your problems but the problem is too much is gonna take your soul
just don’t let it take your soul
baby just don’t let it take your soul
just enough will solve your problems, but the problem is too much is gonna take your soul”
