Eric Morgeson - Never Was Yours lyrics

Verse 1: So much weight in the hands of fate In the hands of time, as it pa**es by And I have less to say, and I'm past my prime And you listen when I spit, but you can't relate ‘cause I'm a relic. Better I should leave you with this And you see me as I am, than a reason to quit This is me. The kid with the sick granny Who dreamed I could sit pretty, and I could lift grammys And I was better off rich And now I'm older with issues the money can't fix How naïve that I could be I exist in the guise of a life complete I compete to win though I lose myself In a penthouse room, with a view from hell Wow, take a look… Say the hook Hook: When your money ain't right it seems like everything's wrong ‘cause everything is When your love ain't life it feels like everything's gone ‘cause everything is And you search for it, and you hurt for it And you promise each other you'll work on it And you might have to let it go free ‘cause it never was yours But that's everything Verse 2: So…when I'm old and gray And the flesh on the bone wouldn't hold And corrodes away…from the root This is but a truth, this is nothing new This is me running from the moon I spend Every night wide awake Fighting sleep like it was the cousin of d**h Nothing left in the pen Stressed ‘cause the raps don't fit And the flows don't work, and the words come less And verse won't stretch like it used to And I spit much more than I'm moved to It's like, being cuffed to a foul friend Now and then you remember how it was But how it is now is a far cry from it Better off dumping it but you hang with it out of love Kinda bugged…kinda nuts Hook: When your money ain't right it seems like everything's wrong ‘cause everything is When your love ain't life it feels like everything's gone ‘cause everything is And you search for it, and you hurt for it And you promise each other you'll work on it And you might have to let it go free ‘cause it never was yours But that's everything
