Empty Hands Lyrics by PROSE

2020

(Verse 1)

It's a rocky road, when will it stabilise?
I wanna know, I'm waiting 'til the day arrives
Stay inside, turn the TV off, be quiet, maybe hide
Bailiffs knocking on, I dunno how I'm gonna pay the guy
2nd fine, no notice through the door, I'm tryna change their minds
Gas has been cut off man, I've been bathing at my mate's for time
Sleeping fully clothed through the cold, lie awake at night
We're hungry, money's running low
I'm at the stage where I am shedding weight and feel like
Surely I have paid the price
Me and my bro so broke I'm finna taste the pride slowly going down our throats
Choke, but we stay alive
Sell a little smoke so we see another day survived
Neighbours try complain and say we're criminals, we ain't the type
Staring at us through a clouded lens, not with the naked eye
This house is no longer a home, think of my favourite times

Man, how much more can they take from my

(Chorus)

Empty Hands
Holding on to what they never had. (Yeah)
Maybe I'm broke but I won't break
Maybe I've chose the price I'll pay
I've thrown it all away
(I've thrown it all away)

(Verse 2)

I think that it's apparent, I'm embarrassed where I fell
I ain't looking for a handout, I've never asked for help
Everything I have now, I've grabbed it by myself
Pack my bags, I'm looking back on where my family had dwelled
My Mother calls me up, see how I'm managing in hell
I think it's safe to say that She's been panicking as well
Her love for us is unconditional, more than I can tell
She deserves to be happy, man, she carried shit herself
So we cover up the bruises, it's funny but the truth is
Life unravels too quick for you to think to do shit
One second you're a school kid, the next you're in a room with council members and possessions that you're tryna find a roof with
Deciding if you'd use it wisely or it's stupid
Tryna find a light inside your eyes but it's useless
Pockets empty, not a penny, energy's eluded
You're destined to get better, your integrity will prove it

(Chorus)

Empty Hands
Holding on to what they never had. (Yeah)
Maybe I'm broke but I won't break
Maybe I've chose the price I'll pay
I've thrown it all away
(I've thrown it all away)

(Verse 3)

I guess we learn from our mistakes
Don't know our purpose, can't be certain of our fate
And through adversity you'll hurt and you will ache
The quiet weight that you can find to be your burden to the grave
Some things are just too heavy to be heard and you will break
And all the while, you'll try and search for an escape
But you won't find it, you can try until you're purple in the face
Soon you'll realise you ain't impervious to pain

(Chorus)

Empty Hands
Holding on to what they never had. (Yeah)
Maybe I'm broke but I won't break
Maybe I've chose the price I'll pay
I've thrown it all away
(I've thrown it all away)
Empty Hands
Holding on to what they never had (never had)
Maybe I'm broke but I won't break
Maybe I've chose the price I'll pay
I've thrown it all away
