Richest Man Alive Lyrics

Sunday morning I'd be woken to throw on shoes

Leave the house walk past broken windows nothing new

Car alarms and shouting slowly waking me up

Along with the sound of glass under my feet that shatters

Pitter patter my light steps tip-toe along

Will I wake the beast or my sister

I'm hoping for the latter

My mother taking me to church to see the good that's in the world

Instead she be pushing me to the worst of it all

Yeah, the worst of it all

Please explain to me

How when walking on my way to the building of worship

I see the bones of a man with a bottle in a bad state

I feel a woman wiping tears and blood from her face

Cause her man came from the footy and he was in a craze

I hear the cries of a toddler calling for mama

But no one comes cause their parents are petty they in a bad place

My senses telling me this is all wrong

But I abide one foot in front of the other and walk along

But, among the pain and misery of each family tree

The priest says to thee

This is the plan of the father

Wait what? My sister losing her

Listen

Live your life in the name of he

And you'll be paid back in a life

Beyond what you currently seek

Give your soul and place it in the fathers care

And eternal peace we will share

Lord hear our prayer

I'm Just a man on his way to the moon

Wishing the rocket would go faster

Lord hear our prayer

All the stars remind me of you

And they do, I'm on my way to you

Lord hear our prayer

I'm Just a man on his way to the moon

Wishing the rocket would go faster

All the stars remind me of you

And they do, I'm on my way to you

No no, I can't wait

Lord, I ain't got that time to waste

The clocks ticking, the reapers coming

I got to keep up the pace

They placing the papers through the door that say

People are paying their way through death

I can't support religion cause it's the poor

That death will visit next

Employ people to keep it at bay

But I got connections in Kenya

Where starving is their fate

I hope I make it before it's too late

If I had money I wouldn't dare make those same mistakes

Too many ask what I want to be when I grow old

I say I'm at uni and I'm sticking to that road

Lies

I'm growing to learn that in time

I want to be the richest man alive

My kids won't have to ask

Like I did with my mama

If They could step beyond the path

They go where their feet please

No need to beg people to cater to your needs

Cause I'll own the street

Ain't need to worry 'bout our neighbours

Where police always staying

Or the house across the street

Where a man's body was laying

Knife wounds on him, coming to us soon

We fear tears arrive like a monsoon

Our house no longer a target like it was

Vandalised cause in that site being white was a must

We caused no fuss

Was quiet, we living happily

But they would come threaten us, spit on us

That's why I need my funds up

I'll own the house my mama, sister and auntie are living

And They got mansions in Kenya, Atlanta no civics

My mission to have All of my people fed, happy and sheltered

Gon message Kiai let him know I got us right cause you felt it

But that path gon leave me without a heart

Probably keep the money, pocket it

And scam the poor into giving me more

I need something to forget

The solution too complex

I'm stressed even though here I vex

I got something for that

To put your mind at ease

Put the blunt in my mouth, please

And I'll answer like a north swede

I'm Just a man on his way to the moon

Wishing the rocket would go faster

All the stars remind me of you (you want something stronger?)

And they do, I'm on my way to you

I'm Just a man on his way to the moon (What's it mixed with? )

All the stars remind me of you (You never know)

And they do, I'm on my way to you (That's the fun of it)

But now I'm older

A lost soul

Dodging drugs, religion and money

Cause all three in this world are haunting everybody

They'll follow you like a dog to the scent of a bone

Knowing if they reach you, you'll adopt them if you feel alone

No disrespect to people in religion to be better

But more often than not I see it used as a weapon

To place others on pedestals or

Increase wealth, coming like a Trojan

Convince people who don't question or know it

Now, I'm getting wiser

Finding strength in the stable

I'm lucky as I am to be able to say

I plant myself in the roots of my family

If I ever fall I'll go gracefully till they catch me

Now I see that's the real definition of being wealthy

Too many hide from it cause they see

Broken hearts as too scary

Yeah you may come across a Judas

Who greets you with kisses

But that betrayal was a hidden

Blessing cause now you know their intentions

I'm already the richest man alive

Hope my family know I'm grateful if they listen

Cause I'm a mortal man with riches

Yeah, I'm a mortal man with riches

I'm Just a man on his way to the moon

Wishing the rocket would go faster

All the stars remind me of you

And they do, I'm on my way to you

I'm Just a man on his way to the moon

Wishing the rocket would go faster

All the stars remind me of you

And they do, I'm on my way to you
