Genesis Owusu - The Old Man lyrics

Sometimes it feels like-

There's an old man waiting in the sky
Just to fuck my life up
(I don't get it, I don't care about it)
(I don't get it, I don't care about it)

Tapping in the worst to get the best of me
Hey
Tapping in the words to get the bread to me
Waitin' for the burnin' of the effigy
The hate I can handle
But the love always suspect to me
You see the black and white
I see the lines between
The world's a checkered tee
My niggas wanna check on me
I leave 'em on seen
While I scream and I scream 'till I'm hoarse
Like a kettle mean
Did the work to keep together
Now I cut the seam

There's an old man (I don't care about it)
Waiting in the sky just to fuck my life up
(I don't get it, I don't care about it, hey)
(I don't get it, I don't care about it)

What's a Roach to a God?
Tryna find the drive
But, I got a slashed tire
Everyday I wake up, boy, I'm battling Goliath
Flowers in the fist
Still can't avoid violence
Tryna run from hell
I feel the warmth from the fire in my veins
Yesterday's burnt, but today's not the same
Squash my leg, five more to my name
Plan to leave more on this earth than a stain
Run Roach, run!

(I don't get it, I don't care about it)
(I don't get it, I don't care about it)
There's an old man
(I don't get it, I don't care about it)
Waiting in the sky
(I don't get it, I don't care about it)
Just to fuck my life up
(I don't get it, I don't care about it)
(I don't get it, I don't care about it)

Your master is a system
Your master is a suit
Your master is a dollar
The chaos that ensues, yeah
Your master is a system
Your master is a suit
Your master is a planet
The chaos that ensues, yeah
Your master is a system
Your master is a suit
Your master is absurdity
God bless the truth (What, what?)
God bless the truth (Hey, hey)
God bless the truth (Boom)
God bless the truth god bless the truth
