alex oliver - the tower of babel كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1: alex oliver]
always knew one day
man i’d be great
what i told myself
like screw the stakes
go to any length
don’t care what it takes
i’ll be on top
and catch my break
not scared of work
i’d always work late
then i’d go berserk
‘cuz it all seemed fake
and that’s what hurt
what could i undertake?
didn’t have a 4.0
it’s just gpa
schools turned me down
called me a headache
i was in the gym
and kept gaining weight
all my raps were tight
couldn’t get any play
worked hard for my job
then they took it away
i kept failing (failing)
that’s when i realized it made sense and
happened
all the greats they started off
trapping
all the brothas who were popping
rapping
and the brothas on tv were
capping

[chorus: alex oliver]
like i’m cursed by a higher power
uh, ‘cuz my blessings have never showered
uh, feel like i need some super powers
that’s the only way i’ll ever make it past these dark hours
uh, like i’m cursed to be a wallflower
uh, any success gets overpowered
uh, sweet victory is all sour
uh, guess i’ll never build my own tower

[verse 2: alex oliver]
took my mistakes
threw ’em back in my face
never gave me space
always rushing my pace
not smart enough
can’t work in this place
ain’t cool enough
why you rapping this way?
ain’t that man enough
boy get out of my face
like i don’t belong
why was i born this way?
started slipping at work
and i was showing up late
tears run down my face
crying in alleyways
by myself, ‘cuz i had a bad life
not a bad day
drinking and smoking
just tryin’ to some take pain away
didn’t care how i dressed
threw my looks in the fray
said i’d be great
but i only feel dull and gray
screaming red rum red rum and then some
only look glum when i go see anyone
wanna make records, but i’m messing it up
‘cuz i’m slipping and falling and can’t get up
ugh!

[chorus: alex oliver]
like i’m cursed by a higher power (higher power)
uh, ‘cuz my blessings have never showered (never showered)
uh, feel like i need some super powers
that’s the only way i’ll ever make it past these dark hours (dark hours)
uh, like i’m cursed to be a wallflower (wallflower)
uh, any success gets overpowered (overpowered huh?)
uh, sweet victory is all sour (all sour)
uh, guess i’ll never build my own tower

[verse 3: alex oliver]
tried talking to god
he was d-gg-ng a nod
freaking following the bible
down here doing my job
man i’m working so hard
please meet me halfway
trying to build a tower
so i can see your face
didn’t matter if i went and prayed to a different entity
results were the same
no one ever got back to me
they see me “the epitome of levity”
and it’s cool
that’s why religion now doesn’t get to me
be complacent
what i want is adjacent
bible talked of a man
who wanted promised lands
but was turned away
his possessions were grand
when you see celebs
man where do they stand?
all these stars are really heathens
that’s why doing what’s right
was damaging my mental
i couldn’t sleep at night
had me kicking and screaming
what am i achieving?
can’t get a come up
no matter what i’m scheming!
