Damaged World feat. Charles Bradley & The Manahan Street Band
Sometimes I wonder how I get over The weight of everything is tearing up my soul but Shit is heavy like the world on my shoulders People telling me be strong like a soldier But I suffered tremendous damage
Just make it fade away Just let it fade away Just make it fade away I suffered tremendous damage
So many things that I didn't know But still I've seen my dreams come true And now the little kids are watching my videos And telling me: I wanna be you See, I'm just a man so I ain't scared of all that No matter whatever I go through I told the man in the mirror: keep pushin on But I can't say the same about you Now now now, I done made it this far It ain't a way I'm gonna turn back I started out with no car And graduated to a Cadillac But all that money don't mean a goddamn thing to me Cause we don't worship dads
But like the Wright Brothers we gotta crash and burn Before you take flight I know you're hurt bad
Sometimes I wonder how I get over The weight of everything is tearing up my soul but Shit is heavy like the world on my shoulders People telling me be strong like a soldier But I suffered tremendous damage
Just make it fade away Just let it fade away Just make it fade away I suffered tremendous damage
February 28th the day my daddy died Boy not really, his energy passed to the other side And ever since that day I seen him fade away With my own eyes, I never doubted God The marine corps, they say semper fi My daddy fought in Vietnam, This is a fun fact from the blunt line of Antoine Andre, just like that song say I suffered tremendous damage, got me tougher than a motherfucker And since the days I play his ball Ya'll thought it was a run off, these broads will slam the Cadillac doors now The American Idol's just a fraud You kiss a man, you still gon be a frog Ribbit, a bitter old negro, not at all See, I look 26 and still hit your broad Still pitch a ball Hike, pass, shoot, kick it all Practice makes perfect but first it was bamboo and now it's cross (I hit the jackpot!)
Sometimes I wonder how I get over The weight of everything is tearing up my soul but Shit is heavy like the world on my shoulders People telling me be strong like a soldier But I suffered tremendous damage
Just make it fade away Just let it fade away Just make it fade away I suffered tremendous damage
Sometimes I wonder how I get over The weight of everything is tearing up my soul but Shit is heavy like the world on my shoulders People telling me be strong like a soldier But I suffered tremendous damage
Just make it fade away Just let it fade away Just make it fade away I suffered tremendous damage
