Oscar Dawson - Calling Out lyrics

[Intro (Sampled)] Behind the technologists, the tradesmen and the apprentices Ray and the young men like him manning 15,000 factories [Verse 1: PEZ] Into this life we're thrown Just as if outta nowhere, and from that instant Begin to be program', to decode eve— Rything we see in a particular way Now some have the nerve to venture off into the unknown Some don't, they're content to watch from the front row Either way it's still a game that can be cut-throat You don't wanna be on the wrong end of all the gun smoke But your destiny waits So there's really no need for precaution, of course We are cautious, it's all we know Just one false move and it's all she wrote, that's what they tell us So we all take aim to stake claim And if you get there just pray you maintain Long enough, not to suffer and No longer have to sing a song for your supper Let's pray [Hook: Paul Dempsey] How we gonna keep on sufferin' And fallin' on our knees for nothin'? I'm starting to believe in somethin' It's kinda hard to hear it but it's callin' out [Pre-Verse Ad-Lib: PEZ] Okay [Verse 2: PEZ] Because I look inside, find this insight Guessin' in this life, people would think I Must know really what mine's for But the truth I'm not quite sure All I'm doin' is tryna follow my heart Even though that my head's sayin', 'what if I can't?' What if my path is already planned out I already see how the story will pan out It's not gonna be, well sh** still I'm not gonna stop When a job is the only other option I got I'm not sayin' that it's wrong 'cause it's not But if you're workin' and it doesn't make you happy then what Is the point? I mean really? Either you can take a shot or try to merely make do When you see that that's the only other move Then there really isn't anything to lose, choose [Hook: Paul Dempsey] How we gonna keep on sufferin' And fallin' on our knees for nothin'? I'm starting to believe in somethin' It's kinda hard to hear it but it's callin' out [Verse 3: PEZ] Hey that's the way everything goes Some get what they want, the rest never get close That's why they say if you ever get chosen You made it 'cause anything goes That's why we find ourself in a time where People deny what's really inside them, frightened Mighta feared that the outcome is doubtful Not knowin' in itself that's the downfall, it's weird right See we think we'll never make an impact Since a young age we've been trained to think that That's the only reason we're beaten They know they can feed us this sh** and we'll believe it, either You can struggle through life or take your story And then turn it into something you like it's all up in your mind And in mine man, I'm leavin' on a plane So if you're comin' there too well then I'll see you on the way Let's go [Pre-Hook: Paul Dempsey] How we gonna keep on sufferin' And fallin' on our knees for nothin'? I'm starting to believe in somethin' It's kinda hard to hear it but it's callin' out [Hook: Paul Dempsey] How we gonna keep on sufferin' And fallin' on our knees for nothin'? I'm starting to believe in somethin' It's kinda hard to hear it but it's callin' out [Post-Hook: Paul Dempsey] It's callin' It's callin' It's callin' out It's callin' out It's callin' out It's callin' It's callin' out It's callin' out [Outro (Sampled)] Judy is working in one of the stores until she marries But thousands more spend their working lives serving The needs of a million shoppers
