Riches [Explicit] Songtext
von Jamyang

I was a rich man
Jewels when I opened my eyes
I once was so strong
My silver spoon fed me all my life
Now I′m a poor man
See me begging on your street
I beg forgiveness
Lord forgive me my riches had a hold on me
Coins and crowns had laid me down
Delivered me from suffering, I
Wonder now if my ways had drowned
And given me this suffering cos
My friends ask to see my chest
They wanna see my pearls I guess
I tell em it's a lonely quest
Cos this shit ain′t been nothing but a big old fucking mess I said

My riches dragging me down down down
Yea
I'm tryna turn it around


Tales in the attic up a strairway of nerves
Feel the air static as I search for the words
Of my father, his father's father
From a time ago so long
A thousand years of riches
A couple polar′ pictures
Had me reeling from this itch that
I was doing this so wrong
So I took up my thoughts and I took to sea
A soulless man searching for solace to me
It′s a sad sight
Oh it's a mad plight
But that′s when I found him my teacher on the mountain
I stumbled he caught me sat me down and he asked me
Child, what's your problem?

My riches dragging me down down down
Yea
I′m tryna turn it around
Sitting on this throne wearing this crown crown crown
Yea
I know you'll all watch me drown

Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling
Keep it rolling


My riches dragging me down down down
Yea
I′m tryna turn it around
Sitting on this throne wearing this crown crown crown
Yea
I know you'll all watch me drown
