Olamide Faison - Helpless lyrics

Yeah… [Verse 1] My grandmother said that my cellphone is demonic I'd rather respond with a laugh then take a stand The honesty you found in that statement is ironic You pray to god then worship our data plans We kneel at the social media alter Confessing every sin and condemning those that faltered Falsify life that we like and receive [?] of likes In hopes to hype the excitement that we exhausted And jump at the first chance of distraction And try to avoid real human interaction We indulge and divulge all of our pa**ion and Pa**ing our past thoughts and toss aside our compa**ion Imagine if you had to look a person in his eyes No hand-picked profile picked for your disguise No false sense of pride or reside of hiding Just a soul possessed and the skin you arrived in [Hook] Did I fall in? Can you see? What I'm caught in? Is it me? Where does it leave? Is this a dream? It seems so real Feels like I'm lost [Verse 2] My other grandmother raised a family in the war zone A foreign country that was war prone The contra scandle had a handle on that region When my uncles came here to them Richmond was the Four Seasons After work walking on bissel Bullets mean less when you used to dealing with missiles And it's hard to fall asleep when there's bombs exploding nightly And the stress you get to witnessing d**hs scars your psyche And it's likely been caused by the very country you came to Rearranged the sight only to find you got the same view You had a dream still none of it came true See the land of opportunity only contains you And it's futile for you, pal, so you plow, the avenue Now...and try to do more but every door they shoot down If you drowned and it was meant to be Essentially can only try for so long ‘till you break down eventually [Hook] Am I stalling? Is it me? Is it calling? Can you see? Where does it leave? Is this a dream? It seems so real Feels like I'm lost [Verse 3] For every breath that is exhaled I excel Pa**ed the point that they thought I would ever reach If any person in my life doesn't mesh well I separate before trust is ever breached ‘cuz sometimes being smart is being selfish And self preservation is key They try to equate modesty with being helpless But those are very different traits to me If you speak how you feel then they bill you as crazed If you stick to your guns that will become praised If you phase by the thoughts and opinions of other people You can only get as far as they say, or how they see you But it's lethal how they leave you in a lurch For what it's worth, no matter what, you're never considered equal So deceitful how to speak to the ones that state a mission You either pay the price or pay attention [Hook] Am I falling? Can you see? What I'm caught in? Is it me? Am I stalling? Is it calling? Can you see?
