Without Purpose, We Would Not Exist

[Intro]
May I ask in what way your life is contributing to society as you sit here day after day after day, in this dark room, stringing along on that stupid guitar?
What are you doing for the world? Or for other people?
Day after day, hour after hour, night after night. How many years have you been doing this now?
What is this doing? To me, it’s a worthless life

[Chorus]
How long am I gon’ wait?
Please don’t please don’t waste my time
Been down but I’m still straight
Got this money on my mind
How long am I gon’ wait?
Please don’t please don’t waste my time
Been down but I’m still straight
Got this money on my mind

[Verse 1]
I’ve been on my way
I’ve been writing all day
Tryin to get my rent paid with this music
Til my heart gives out
And my throat can’t shout
I suppress my doubt and push through it
People know my name but some things don’t change
I recall my pain and I use it
To express my mind with these tracks online
Tryin’ to stop my shine, I’m used to it
I’ve been trapped inside my thoughts
About you
Now I’m trying to move on
Without you

[Chorus]
How long am I gon’ wait?
Please don’t please don’t waste my time
Been down but I’m still straight
Got this money on my mind
How long am I gon’ wait?
Please don’t please don’t waste my time
Been down but I’m still straight
Got this money on my mind

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I ain't been home in a minute
Trips to and from the A
I’ve been out here tryin to get
Ain’t no labels try to sign me
Til they saw what I envisioned
Gettin executed swiftly
Indie tribe is how we did it
Meanwhile, my life had started fallin apart
I lost my first love and I let it fuel the art
I guess I made the best of it
Because it came from the heart
But now creating from depression
Only gets me so far im sayin

[Chorus]
I’ve been trapped inside my thoughts
About you
Now I’m trying to move on
Without you

Sad people make dope music
