I'm so tired, I feel weak
I'm amazed by little things
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Oh, let me breathe
Maybe if I wasn't so timid and didn't look down
Maybe if I finished with honors a degree would acknowledge
Why I'm making them dollars and make big bank
Instead of cashing minimum wage and trying to think tank
Scheming like the only way to make it out the trap
Of working two jobs, I got to be rich so I can prove that
The passion that I've carried since high school
Wasn't a waste, in fact it gave me what society thought I couldn't claim
If you were there with me when I was low
Down and out my pockets broke but my spirit came alive
There's a reason why I get to make jokes
I don't do this on my own cuz I do it with a tribe
My baby hold me down in a big way, my brother hold it down like the subway
My sister show me how to persevere there's a reason why I'm here
Shine a light on all the people that appear
I'm so tired, I feel weak
I'm amazed by little things
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Oh, let me breathe
Something about it the day in and day out
Talking a mile a minute wearing the style permitted
Put on a fake smile, before I greet customer one
Did you find everything, you say I did and then some
Customer service like a trip to circus
At times I wonder why building rapport's making me nervous
I give it everything then my tank runs low
If I don't then my cynical nature will break loose
I conserve whatever is left of my worth
When I'm treated second class, no pride in my work
I've had it up here this position to serve
Put on display like a bird in a cage being observed
But I know, I got to pay my bills on time
I got to make this money or my life's on the line
But when my Father break the chains on me
I guess I'll finally realize what it means to be free
I love it, I love it
The feeling I get when I'm free
I love it, I love it
I'm so tired, I feel weak
I'm amazed by little things
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Oh, let me breathe
