Nick Trees - Grit Lyrics

Said the worth is within
And if you don't got the wealth within kid
Then you're wealthy without
Growin' faster than a bean sprout
On a gene clout
Talkin' with a mean mouth
Sippin' cream stout
While the cities breathe in clouds
Feel no remorse
I can see the old neighborhoods get ignored
They're leaving nothing for the poor
But liquor stores on each corner
He never shoulda drank it
Hindsight from the coroner
I gotta keep up with it
Never let them defeat the purpose
Scramble in traffic
Hope it ain't the day for your tragic service
Smile on her face
But it's obvious you can see she's hurtin'
I wonder why it's hard to find someone
Who doesn't lie it makes you wanna die
I don't regret it gave my life to it
Tough
I don't regret it shed a tear for it
Tough
I don't regret it gave a damn for it
Tough
I don't regret it I'm a man living
Tough
I don't regret it gave my life to it
Tough
I don't regret it shed a tear for it
Tough
I don't regret it gave a damn for it
Tough
I don't regret it I'm a man living
Tough
Unique and vicious
Nobody listens
The mission larger than visions
Precision
Spoken in ways to accommodate
The words I abominate
I'm destined to dominate
But I'll probably contemplate a different fate
Overlooked and disgraced
Artistic views outer space
Find out reality is fake
Decipher laws and mistakes
That people falsely create
To accelerate the profits and rates
As they degenerate a human race
Never give up on the faith
And I never give into the lies that I face
All the time that is gone and erased
All my devotion in mirrors and haze
All of the love disappears in a grave
Left alone feeling betrayed
Hope to be saved
Can I be saved
Yes I will pray
But is it too late
Never give up on the faith
And I never give into the lies that I face
They leave me feeling like I'm a disgrace
When I'm really needing peace
It's all of the freedom I need
Need to find it before I decease
But the possibility is growing dimmer everyday
Said the worth is within
And if you don't got the wealth within kid
Then you're wealthy without
Growin' faster than a bean sprout
On a gene clout
Talkin' with a mean mouth
Sippin' cream stout
While the cities breathe in clouds
Feel no remorse
I can see the old neighborhoods get ignored
They're leaving nothing for the poor
But liquor stores on each corner
He never shoulda drank it
Hindsight from the coroner
I gotta keep up with it
Never let them defeat the purpose
Scramble in traffic
Hope it ain't the day for your tragic service
Smile on her face
But it's obvious you can see she's hurtin'
I wonder why it's hard to find someone
Who doesn't lie it makes you wanna die
I don't regret it gave my life to it
Tough
I don't regret it shed a tear for it
Tough
I don't regret it gave a damn for it
Tough
I don't regret it I'm a man living
Tough
I don't regret it gave my life to it
Tough
I don't regret it shed a tear for it
Tough
I don't regret it gave a damn for it
Tough
I don't regret it I'm a man living
Tough
