Thousand Lifetimes (feat. Corey Glover of Living Colour)

Sick of feeling right and feeling wrong

I’ve been in this place way too long

I’ve been down and I’ve been strong

Now what the hell is going on

It’s getting harder but I know I’ll make it

And there’s no code in my DNA to front or fake it

I got these clouds hovering and hanging

And the darkness consumes me

How long will I stand and fight

God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

My soul, my blood

Ain’t that enough

God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

I must confess

I break from the stress

I tell my story

Get it off my chest

Greenlight till I get it right

Ain’t no stopping till I save my life

Harder to breathe

It’s getting harder to see

A future in front of me

Suffocated and vindicated

Never a minute goes by that’s justified

How long will I stand and fight

God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

My soul, my blood

Ain’t that enough

God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

Give it my all

Even when I fall

Back against the wall

When push comes to shove

I’m not giving up

No, no

Dedicated to the overworked

Who put everything on the line

For those they love until it hurts

Keep your head up when it got tough

Kept faith and love when the roads dem get rough

A thousand lives couldn’t pay for the strength you gave

Or the energy you gave up

I haven’t prayed in years but I know you’re there somewhere

How long will I stand and fight

God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

My soul, my blood

Ain’t that enough

God knows that I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes

Oh yeah, a thousand lifetimes

I paid the price of a thousand lifetimes
