See, this weight is on my shoulders, pray Jehovah lift me up
And my pain is never over, pills and potions fix me up
I just want to live it up, can a mother****er breathe?
Life ain't always what it seems, so please just lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
At #10 is Lift Me Up, the first official song of Summertime 06.. It's centered around the poor & hard life of Vince's hometown Long Beach and addresses how the higher class viewed him and his people as less because of social status, race, etc. The road to riches is filled with struggle. This song goes hard
I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies
I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy
At 9 is the 2nd single from Carrie & Lowell, Should Have Known Better. It's a self-reflecting song that talks about how he should've handled his mother's death better than he did. When the griefing period comes, there's certain ways on handling it. We have to deal with it and move on and not let it eat us inside. Great melodies & such.
