am I a burden?

Feel like a burden, like I don’t belong Tryna stay strong but the nights too long Fresh out the cage, still I’m stuck in a cell In my own mind, it’s a personal hell Got a baby on the way, I should be a man But I’m fightin’ every day just to stand where I stand If I disappear, would they even care? Or am I just weight that nobody can bear? Verse 1: Almost a year since I walked out them gates Thought I’d be free but I’m locked in my fate Same old pain, just a different view Everybody moved on, I’m just passin’ through Tryna get a job but they see my past Every door I knock on, they just shut it fast Got dreams in my head but they feel outta reach Got lessons in life that nobody could teach Family lookin’ at me like I’m still that man Like I never even tried to change who I am I swear I’m tryin’, but it don’t show Got a storm inside that they’ll never know Hook: Feel like a burden, like I don’t belong Tryna stay strong but the nights too long Fresh out the cage, still I’m stuck in a cell In my own mind, it’s a personal hell Got a baby on the way, I should be a man But I’m fightin’ every day just to stand where I stand If I disappear, would they even care? Or am I just weight that nobody can bear? Verse 2: Baby on the way, yeah that hit me deep Now I’m losin’ even more than just sleep Wanna be a father they can look up to But I don’t even know what I’m gonna do No steady pay, just stress and doubt Tryna keep it in but it’s spillin’ out My girl look at me, I see fear in her eyes Like she’s hopin’ I change but expectin’ lies I ain’t perfect, yeah I made my mistakes Did time for the roads that I chose to take Now I’m back, but I’m stuck in between Who I used to be and who I’m tryna be Hook: Feel like a burden, like I don’t belong Tryna stay strong but the nights too long Fresh out the cage, still I’m stuck in a cell In my own mind, it’s a personal hell Got a baby on the way, I should be a man But I’m fightin’ every day just to stand where I stand If I disappear, would they even care? Or am I just weight that nobody can bear? Verse 3: They don’t see the fight when I’m all alone When I’m starin’ at the wall, feelin’ like a ghost Tryna build a life but the bricks don’t stick Every step forward feel like two steps slipped I ain’t ask for pity, I just want a chance To prove I’m more than my circumstance But the weight on my chest got me movin’ slow And the world don’t stop, it just go, go, go Still I wake up, I don’t quit, I try Even when it feel like I’m dead inside ‘Cause that child comin’, I can’t run away Even if I’m lost, I gotta find a way Hook (Outro): Feel like a burden, like I don’t belong But I’m holdin’ on, yeah I’m holdin’ strong Fresh out the cage, yeah I paid my dues Now I’m fightin’ for a life I can’t afford to lose Got a baby on the way, I’ma be that man Even if I fall, I’ma rise and stand Maybe one day they’ll all see clear… I was never a burden, I was fightin’ fear
