Moza - Black & White lyrics

[Verse 1: L-FRESH The LION] We are living in trying times And I'm trying to find a piece of mind or peace inside Sometimes I get tired of being the one to rise But I realise there's more to life than being alive I had teacher in school tell me I should smile more And my reply was “there's not much worth smiling for” I'm heading south like Darfur And this warfare got me feeling torn like wet cardboard You see, I have never been hardcore But anxiety makes the simple things seem so hard ya'll I just want to crash and sleep, escape to dreams Where the breeze is sweet, where I appreciate the sand beneath my feet The consequence of a young lion tryna fit in When I reflect I can't seem to pinpoint the beginning All I know is that when I'm caught up and I'm stuck in it I pray so hard for it to finish So I can feel the colours [Chorus: Cam Nacson of MOZA] I'm sick of waking up to fall back down I swear this pounding heart might fall right out All this black and white just gets me down I need to feel the colours before my time runs out [Verse 2: L-FRESH The LION] There's not many things worse than feeling it when I wake up My heart beating fast like a 100m sprint racer The sun just came up but I can't wait til the day's up As I step outside I try my best to cover it like make up I hope no one can see this, pa**er by's pa**ing me by, looking me in the eyes A smile on my face but do they believe it? Or do they read this? I really don't need this I wish I could escape and float away with the breeze coz- I find it hard to breathe deeply The blue sky feels as dull as the concrete beneath me The food on my plate looks great but I'll throw it up if I eat it The sight of what's meant to provide energy has me depleted It's hard trying to get your mind right when your body doesn't agree with you And it gets worse trying to explain it to those who believe in you It is what it is yo, it doesn't need a reason to But I remind myself it'll pa** like the seasons do [Chorus: Cam Nacson of MOZA] [Verse 3: L-FRESH The LION] I'm over it, see I'm over it It's been way too long, I'm tired of having to grow with it I'm carrying too much weight, I can no longer shoulder it Can someone please teach me how to let go of it I've been pushing hard to break it out Been throwing punches to try take it out And I'm yearning for a day without There's gotta be a way to make it out So I'm running and I'm running and I'm running till I'm out of breath Just give me a moment though coz I got no energy left I wish I could feel the colours
