Now tell me, lady, do you feel at all? (do you feel at all?)
For all the lazy, for those you cant write off (write them off...)
Im feeling, lately, like youve been giving up (like youve given up)
on every labored hand here in our promised land, on the backs we whipped then covered up
Its not that far away, its not that far away
Every single time I think weve made it, I feel the decline Im proudly jaded, but
Its not that far away, its not that far away
Every single time I think weve made it, our fantasy fades away
Grace was amazing until our faith ran out (until our faith right out)
Justice, youre playing me for bigger bank accounts (big accounts...)
Cocaine arrangements, ghettos, and hand-me-downs (they were handed down)
Shes always got a plan to use her fellow man, no use believing in what she says,
Its not that far away, its not that far away
Every single time I think weve made it, I feel the decline Im proudly jaded, but
Its not that far away, its not that far away
Every single time I think weve made it, our fantasy fades away
Now Ive got it and Ive lost everything
Every single time I think weve made it, I feel the decline, Im proudly jaded, but
Its not that far away, its not that far away
Every single time I think weve made it, our fantasy fades away
These tired and poor, you said to bring them all to you
Theyre all waiting for you to reap what you sow
These tired and poor, you said to bring them all to you (its all for you)
Theyre all waiting for (were all waiting for) you to reap what you sow
