Empty Table Lyrics by Oscar IV

Sesh Playlizt Vol. I

2020

(Verse 1)
This is for the people looking out for Raymond
Want to hear my voice but i'm too high for conversation
All my moves large scale, in my mind weighing
Stress is piling up i'm trapped inside this bed I lay in
I ponder the possibility me just giving up
Clouds is dark enough, window closing up
While i'm walking this dark path, I had to learn that
The only one that's going to fight for me, is yours truly
How you succumb to evil when all you want is peace
I wish them all the best, and they wish me deceased
I tried to tell them we can all win, let's eat!
All that said it's going to be lonely at the feast, damn
Some brothers will never understand
Whether you work a 9-5 or deal contraband
Sticking to the script, so I never fumble the plan
And they gon listen when the boy got the mic in hand

(Hook)
Lord forgive me I was born like this
They swung but I never raised my fist
Didn't know that just living in peace would be a chore like this
Hold your hands up, cuz we praying for him
Lord forgive me I was born like this
They swung but I never raised my fist
Didn't know that just living in peace would be a chore like this
Hold your hands up, we praying for him

(Verse 2)
Who'd have thought he would mature like this
And in just two years he would explore like fish
Across the pond, gotta shout what got me there, Army Strong
Popping bottles and partying to the break of dawn
But that ain't gon keep me on
Next time you home you take a good look in the mirror and tell me you don't see something wrong
You having fun but nothing fulfilling, what of your passions
Living life off of temptations is soul snatching
You losing track of your dream now, go catch it
Practicing breathing meditation making a habit due to
Needing a barrier kept up, it's useful
For entities that claim friend, then try and use you
And that is just the brutal truth
Pardon me, if protecting myself's an asshole move
People love to talk about "what if I were you?"
But it ain't like that, i'm trying to be a well-rounded dude but

(Hook)
Lord forgive me I was born like this
They swung but I never raised my fist
Didn't know that just living in peace would be a chore like this
Hold your hands up, cuz we praying for him
Lord forgive me I was born like this
They swung but I never raised my fist
Didn't know that just living in peace would be a chore like this
Hold your hands up, we praying for him

(Outro)
This is real life no fable
Connections unstable
The case of the Empty Table
