Akala - Defeated lyrics
[Akala - Defeated lyrics]
It would pump from my veins
Was the fuel for my actions
Such that it was my cane and my crutch
I was sure it was real
I could taste, I could touch
I was it, and it was mine
I felt free for the first time
I was sure they were behind
Me so I never turned
I just kept going straight which
Means I never learned
And when I finally did take a look around
My world came to the ground
And this is what I found
The truth is hard to swallow
Harder to follow
When the blessings you receive for
Your deeds seem hollow
Chasin' for the sun i was born to run
But I feel like I'm defeated
I feel like I'm defeated
I feel like I'm defeated
But I will not be beaten
No matter how I fight, they always outgun me
No matter how I sprint, time will outrun me
I'm stuck in a rat race
'round about lap eight
Every time I go around
I feel like the track changed
The goalposts keep movin'
How can I reach one when
There are no conclusions?
The poor, wise man or am I the rich fool
At the bottom of the road
Still scared of the pitfalls?
Fat cats and poor kids both bloated
Life is a bitter pill with a sugar coatin'
Even a queen can be taken by a pawn
Darkest hour is the one before dawn
Chasin' for the sun i was born to run
But I feel like I'm defeated
I feel like I'm defeated
Chasin' for the sun i was born to run
But I feel like I'm defeated
I feel like I'm defeated
I feel like I'm defeated
But I will not be beaten
Chasin' for the sun i was born to run
But I feel like I'm defeated
I feel like I'm defeated
I feel like I'm defeated
But I will not be beaten
