Sol Galeano - Growing Tired lyrics

Verse 1: My mother says she loves me - but never really shows it Backed up emotions - oceans overflowing Memories distorted - my love wasn't enough Neglected me too much hoping I stopped giving a f** But I came back for more - like the kid that I was I was only 6 years old - all I needed - was a hug I was only 6 years old - all I needed - was some love Now the sun holds my all Gives me soul when I'm numb Picks me up when I fall Gives me light when there's none *skit/argument w/ my pops* Chorus: How do you build mountains with no dirt? this hurts So hard when no one understands the work - I'm worth I try, and I try - but since birth I'm cursed All you have to do is don't let it get you down Verse 2: Growing tired of the silence tucked beneath my tongue Dear father, what have you done? I cut off my hair, do I look like your son? So many punches to my chest - sh**, you fought me like one The moment you stole my breath - was the moment I was done Was the moment I asked God please remove me from the slums Chorus: How do you build mountains with no dirt? this hurts So hard when no one understands the work - I'm worth I try, and I try - but since birth I'm cursed All you have to do is don't let it get you down Verse 3: So I pray for the day - that this pain makes a change Paves a way for these slaves - I'm releasing this weight Getting free with the winds - so my soul can be saved In the land of the free - and the home of brave (letter to self) Dear pam, remember your worth and your purpose queen Remember God doesn't put you through anything you can't handle Don't ever forget where you came from - but don't ever let that get in the way of where you will go Don't ever let the hurt destroy you - let go and let God - get free Love and just be Find your happy Keep creating Stay beautiful Remain humble There's hundreds that love you I love you Sincerely yours forever SOL
