Heavy Lifting

[Intro]

Now I got to live for myself

[Verse 1: Haphduzn]

Lord knows I don't got less love, I just tend to love less

I learned to follow breadcrumbs that left you lookin' suspect

I started catchin' these cats that didn't move right

Heart turn blacker than blood under the moonlight

I refuse to waste breath, play games or fake reps

Peruse through the pain like I'm training for a strength test

All gas, no brakes, taking life in straight sets

One stray step away from making a train wreck

Devil is a dirty liar, he tried to beat me

Thirty years old, diagnosed with diabetes

And the last five were sober while my soul was finally healing

By giving others hope, I was shown a higher meaning

The gods must be crazy, cold, petty or indifferent

When I grow weary, I let my spirit do the heavy liftin'

[Verse 2: Slug]

I couldn't sleep and started picturing the people that I've known

Considering the few that I still keep within my zone

I reflected on my loved ones, the chosen and the bloodline

Till I was struck abruptly, interrupted by the sunshine

I'm half a hundred now, my face is weathered, but I

I never stopped to take breaks for pleasure, but I

I might've taken the bait to chase feathers

'Cause I heard the grass on the other side tastes better

Congratulations to my class of complacence

In the past, I was passionate but enthusiasm faded

I travel the world, come home and hide in my basement

Like I'm waitin' for an over simplified explanation of life

How you livin' in this latest edition?

Pack that excess baggage and let my legs do the heavy liftin'
