Don't want no high rise tombstone Gonna gather up my saints Don't wanna hear you fussing If it is or if it ain't My life needs no witness And my burden is my own You gotta answer to somebody If you didn't learn then you didn't read Gotta live with it

I can hear your heart, your heart And I just wanna lay you down your burdens, all your fears And I don't need your deepest secrets whisper in my ear 'Cause I can hear your heart, your heart Side by side Between the streets, before the night I found you

(This is a warning) Nigga please My time, my patience, my love My blood, my sweat, my tears My burdens, my drama, my pain My car, my money, my home My ups, my downs, my fears And my hours, my work, my strength

I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop Nor will it take away the pain And I struggle to find my way I feel like this search is all in vain I reach for calm I starve for a balance unknown This burden tortures me deep in my soul I feel like

Don't let me go On my own I'm finally free Pull this plug, let me breath Give me whats left of my life You spend your days counting the hours you're awake And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same It's a burden you've been burying in

Who knows how long I've been lost in the dark.Followed. Closely by the footsteps of my failures. What can I do to alter my perception of the way and the truth? Drowning Once again.Will I live another day? Let this burden drift away. Who knows how long
