Why Am I Here (feat. Al Strong)

from FALLING ON DEAF EARS by A. Y. Lee

/

about

a song of frustration, sometimes you just have to vent.

lyrics

I’m full of frustration but I can’t shed a tear
Why am I here
When everything I say falls on deaf ears
I gotta ask Why am I here

Sometimes I say a prayer at night
Lord please don’t wake me up
I’m tired of barely getting by
I’m tired of fightin but to stubborn to give up
Some say it’s time for me to make a change
But everyone I make it seems the results are still the same
Running round in circles and it’s making me a square
But it’s getting to the point where I don’t’ care

I’m full of frustration but I can’t shed a tear
Why am I here
When everything I say falls on deaf ears
I gotta ask Why am I here

Another day, another dolla, another cry, another holla
My back’s up against the wall, I just sit it on down so I don’t fall
Not enough juice to make it thru the day
My water’s cut off so I stay thirsty
Cupboards empty so I’m still hungry
And a week left till I get paid.
I ask myself is this where I belong
Am I cursed, what did I do wrong
Folk tellin me I need to stay strong
The race is almost over, but I don’t’ see where the line is drawn.

I’m full of frustration but I can’t shed a tear
Why am I here
When everything I say falls on deaf ears
I gotta ask Why am I here
