Roman Redd - Nothing at All Lyrics

I count up waking hours like they're dollar bills
I set alarms just like I'm clocking in to the job that I hate
It feels like when I fall asleep my dreams get killed
Like I'm gonna lose the bit of youth in me that still remains
I count up idle seconds like they're pounds of lead
They weigh me down and get me sinking deep into the depths
It feels like giving up unless I get ahead
Those days when I don't leave the house
I don't sit still anymore
I've taken that from me
Patience won't come around no more
'Til I'm what I'm supposed to be
One day I pray I find out
The flight was worth the fall
Till then I'm screaming at these walls
I don't wanna be nothing at all
I repeat self destructive mantras like a heretic
I chase routine but I dread it still
'Cause
Somebody told me that this is what life is
Somebody told me that I'd always need them
Somebody told me to pay them back later
Somebody told me and I still believe them
Somebody told me that all this is our fault
Somebody told me that we should've listened
Somebody told me they always knew better
Somebody told me that I was GIFTED
If you work hard then they'll know your name
If you work hard there'll be no more pain
(The blessings will come)
If you work hard then they'll know your name
(The blessings will come)
If you work hard there'll be no more pain
(The blessings will come)
Smile and nod and say "Thanks be to God"
(The blessings will come)
Smile and nod and say "Thanks be to God"
(The blessings will come)
Smile and nod and say "Thanks be to God"
(The blessings will come)
Smile and nod and say "Thanks be to God"
(The blessings will come)
I don't sit still anymore
I've taken that from me
Patience won't come around no more
'Til I'm what I'm supposed to be
One day I pray I find out
The flight was worth the fall
Till then I'm screaming at these walls
I don't wanna be nothing at all
(The blessings will come)
I don't wanna be nothing at all
(The blessings will come)
I don't wanna be nothing
I don't wanna be nothing
I don't wanna be nothing at all
