Ordinary Life Lyrics - Singles - Smashproof

The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try 

I wont let nothing ever stop my shine 

I know that something better is in store for me 

Than this ordinary life that i lead 

and as i raise my head to the sky 

I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride 

Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be 

This ordinary life that i lead 

Imagine living on a mountain next door to the sky 

Overlooking the tree tops watching the birds fly 

View of a lake that will glisten at night when the moon shine 

Imagine what that life be like, 

no more hardship and drama 

Just comfort and wealth 

no colds and flu's we all live with inifite health 

No reason for tears blood sweat 

and every thing else that comes with it 

we all Living with no reason to doubt 

back to reality back to an unsatisfied salary 

the day to day struggle that my fam suffers badly 

and when it seems like it gets a bit better 

gradually a casualty will take place 

leaving people unhappy man 

but still i move forward hoping for better things 

and that one day I'll live it 

instead of imagining my neck tilted up my head 

to the clouds my feet on the ground, 

come and talk to me 

[chorus] 

The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try 

I wont let nothing ever stop my shine 

I know that something better is in store for me 

Than this ordinary life that i lead 

and as i raise my head to the sky 

I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride 

Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be 

This ordinary life that i lead 

Back to my life 

back to my job 

back to the slavehouse working from 9 to 5 

Back to reality you know it ain't music 

back to the dramas 

the same old bullshit 

the same old chores 

taking tolls on my working hand the 

Lord knows I ain't no factory working man 

feel like my old man trying to support a family and 

mad at the world cause the world don't understand me 

Cause everyday I hope 

and I pray for the right cause and 

Even if my life gets harder I got God 

I'm feeling so much pressure on my shoulders, 

I'm brushing off 

all the hatred in my direction I'm able to carry on 

Yeah I know I ain't perfect 

but you know I got to try for all the blood, 

sweat and tears my pop sacrificed 

My necks tilted up my face to the clouds 

my feet on the ground I'm talking to you Lord 

[chorus] 

The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try 

I wont let nothing ever stop my shine 

I know that something better is in store for me 

Than this ordinary life that i lead 

and as i raise my head to the sky 

I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride 

Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be 

This ordinary life that i lead 

Everyday I wake up I'm frustrated 

it hurts not looking forward to a morning of work 

Its like I'm glued to my mattress 

why I cant get out of bed 

the 6AM alarm's doing my head in 

I swallow my pride 

Feel like I'm tied up in a knot 

like I'm walking on a treadmill 

still in the same spot 

9 to 5 minimum wage is definitely not for me 

Me I don't need binocs 

to see the amount of stress on my shoulders, 

I'm only a man 

So I take it out at the gym 

and press as much as I can 

I swear if this is life for me 

I don't wana live it, 

I know there's more in store for me 

than this fucked up prison 

yeah the truth is i made a promise to my family 

that's why i have to carry 

the torch like Cathy Freeman man 

My necks tilted up 

my face to the clouds 

my feet on the ground 

now talk to me lord 

[chorus] 

The lord knows the struggle and he knows I try 

I wont let nothing ever stop my shine 

I know that something better is in store for me 

Than this ordinary life that i lead 

and as i raise my head to the sky 

I know sometimes I gotta swallow my pride 

Lord I know it just wasn't meant to be 

This ordinary life that i lead
