REST. Lyrics

These days I been looking for some rest where can I find it?

I'm falling behind and I do not have the time but I gotta pick up my slack

Why am I always taught to keep the rope like that, I'm gassed

On empty, still gotta provide for the kin and the children so

Until I find a second to breathe, I'll be running in the race of the American dream

Can the clock tick slower

Day in, day out, I'm tryna' make a way out

I can't get closer, to whatever it is that I'm hoping for

Seem like every next step is an open door, to the same ole' thing got no reward

Rest comes from The Father, lay it all down at the altar

You don't have to carry all that weight any longer

Wake up make a cup of coffee then I clock in, locked inside my cubicle the usual

I hate it but I can not refuse to do what's necessary, I want to send all my kids to school

Am I a fool? Will they just go and do this too

Stuck inside a cycle where money becomes the idol, we sacrificing happiness for all the success

Lord what can I do to get me out of this mess, I said

These days I been looking for some rest where can I find it?

I'm falling behind and I do not have the time but I gotta pick up my slack

Why am I always taught to keep the rope like that, I'm gassed

On empty, still gotta provide for the kin and the children so

Until I find a second to breathe, I'll be running in the race of the American dream

Can the clock tick slower

Day in, day out, I'm tryna' make a way out

I can't get closer, to whatever it is that I'm hoping for

Seem like every next step is an open door, to the same ole' thing got no reward

Rest comes from The Father, lay it all down at the altar

You don't have to carry all that weight any longer

Working sun up to sun down, take care of my son now

Making ends meet, barely standing on my feet

Time off is a crutch to me, not a luxury

I got no degree I can't afford to leave

But don't believe I don't have all I need

I got priorities and most importantly I got the Lord with me

In the kingdom of earth I am nobody, in the kingdom of Heaven I'm royalty

These days I been looking for some rest where can I find it?

I'm falling behind and I do not have the time but I gotta pick up my slack

Why am I always taught to keep the rope like that, I'm gassed

On empty, still gotta provide for the kin and the children so

Until I find a second to breathe, I'll be running in the race of the American dream

Can the clock tick slower

Day in, day out, I'm tryna' make a way out

I can't get closer, to whatever it is that I'm hoping for

Seem like every next step is an open door, to the same ole' thing got no reward

Rest comes from The Father, lay it all down at the altar

You don't have to carry all that weight any longer
