Riches Lyrics by Jamyang

Perisher - EP

2013

[Verse 1]
I was a rich man
Jewels when I opened my eyes
I once was so strong
My silver spoon fed me all my life
Now I'm a poor man
See me begging on your street
I beg forgiveness
Lord forigve me my riches had a hold on me
Coins and crowns had laid me down
Deliverd me from suffering, I
Wonder now if my ways had drowned
And given me this suffering 'cos
My friends ask to see my chest
They wanna see my pearls I guess
I tell 'em it's a lonely quest
'Cos this shit ain't seen nothing but a
Big old fucking mess I said
[Chorus]
My riches
Dragging me down, down, down
(yea)
I'm tryna turn it around
[Verse 2]
Tales in the attic up a stairway of nerves
Feel the air static as i search for the words
Of my father, his father's father
From a time ago so long
A thousand years of riches
A couple polar' pictures
Had me reeling from this itch that
I was doing this so wrong
So i took up my thoughts and i took to the sea
A soulless man searching for solace to me
It's a sad sight
Oh it's a mad plight
But that's when i found him, my teacher on the mountain
I stumbled, he caught me, sat me down and he asked me
Child, what's your problem?
[Chorus]
My riches
Dragging me down, down, down
(yea)
I'm tryna turn it around
Sitting on this thrown waering this crown, crown
(yea)
I know you'll all watch me drown
[Bridge]
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
[Chorus]
My riches
Dragging me down, down, down
(yea)
I'm tryna turn it around
Sitting on this thrown wearing this crown, crown
(yea)
I know you'll all watch me drown
