daniel kim ethridge - tired of rising above كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
“you don’t look the way that you sound when you sing”
“it’s a wonder how you came by freddie king”
“well, how’d you land that girl”
“what made you wanna buy a truck?”
“well, you don’t look how you sound when you sing”

[verse 2]
i shouldn’t have to justify my roots
or tell you why my blood runs dodger blue
well, i don’t have to prove
that i know mopar muscle more than you
the truth is i don’t owe a thing to you

[chorus]
if everything was equal
like they say inside the steeple
i wouldn’t have to fight
twice as hard for half as much
if playing fields were level
i wouldn’t do deals with the devil
i wouldn’t have to turn my cheek
and die a death by a thousand cuts
i’m running out of ropе, enough’s enough
well, i’m gеtting tired of rising above
[verse 3]
well, my mother works as hard as anyone
teachin’ young and old about the father and the son
she works overtime, then double
so that they don’t have to struggle
yeah, my mother works as hard as anyone

[verse 4]
well, they beg for prayers, godd_mn, they play the part
they make fun of how she says “how great thou art”
well, there’s no amount of grace
for what they don’t say to her face
it’s undeserved, but she still prays for their hearts

[chorus]
if everything was equal
like they say inside that steeple
i wouldn’t have to fight
twice as hard for half as much
if playing fields were level
i wouldn’t do deals with the devil
i wouldn’t have to turn my cheek
and die a death by a thousand cuts
i’m running out of rope, enough’s enough
well, i’m getting tired of rising above
[bridge]
one day, i’ll have kids that look like me
and they won’t look how they sound when they sing
one day, i’ll have kids that look like me, oh, they’ll see
that eyes like ours don’t make us who we are
