Frozen foods in the night Cassava chips on the couch Laughing to moldy rice Tables covered with dust The black man came search for us They came to conquer our house I sit back down when they rush For money they have locked us Got no feet to walk but you still have got to run All of the stacks of your debt, now it's thicker than your mouth They tried to bury you beneath all that you regret, you regret I wanna help you out, I wanna help you out Wish that I could set you free From all the ropes that chase your neck Up until now I could recall The fear everytime the door was knocked Got no feet to walk but you still have got to run All of the stacks of your debt, now it's thicker than your mouth They tried to bury you beneath all that you regret, you regret I wanna help you out, I wanna help you out Post-chorus: Live long enough, to watch me grow (That's all I hope for) Live long enough, to see me rise (That's all I hope for) Live long enough, to watch me grow That's all I hope for That's all I hope for That's all I hope for
