OM Lyrics – Brodha V

A plate is a myth when the rent is due but hunger is home
It hurts, straight in the ribs, when I suffer alone
My stomach be yelling louder than my prayers at night
My mind telling me to quit, I might take the advice

Mama prayed for the light while I’m restraining the spark
Pops worked through the dark but now I’m breaking his heart
I sense the disappointment in the words they utter
Teardrops that weigh tons come from hurting mothers

Hate what I see in the mirror, I’m the cause for their shame
Reflections of my failures, always calling my name
Mental shackles are the only inheritance of the first born
Heir to the trauma, so I carry the curse on

Masking the emptiness, my smile is a prop
Just like another lifeless attire that I rock
My girl walked away, said rapping ain’t a job, get a life
I’d never make it, so I don’t fit the plot of her life

My inner fire is dying out, is why I’m losing my sleep
Maybe I’ll never get paid but Imma do this for me
Like a candle in a storm, a script for doom
Against fellas that always had silver spoons from within the womb

My demos get passed around like an endless fable
While nepotists be getting signed cuz they got friends in labels
Rejection on the daily, believe me they crush
The dreams of a kid, he wishes that he’d never wake up

I hope the heavens will guide me in tryna move with conviction
Before the darkness consumes me and I know I’m losing this mission
I’ll let the kid in me down, I see him fade away
Like the sky, through the clouds on a rainy day

One last look at those I need in my life
One last look at those who believed I could fight
And when I’m hopeless in this moment of quiet
Wishing the story goes on, that’s when it hit me like

Om bhur bhuvaha svaha
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat

Grandma gone, she said that you’d be the man
To be the one to fulfill their wishes, their Genie’s lamp
Go be their hope, their beacon up high
What are obstacles at the feet when you dream of the sky

Curses and bad juju float along with toxins in air
Keep curving them gold diggers like convex affairs
You best believe that you the prospect of prayers
So we climbed mountains ‘fore we understood the concept of stairs

Became one of the greatest, ascension assured
Our pens went to war, swinging like a pendulum door
See we was bound to the trash and clowned for our bad luck
But we hustled like a Gujju that’s down to his last buck

Found a niche in rap, the crowd appeal unmatched
And we did it with more soul than South Korean maps
Through this marathon we ran, feuding with time
Expending our passion, and influencing minds

In these scars are scriptures of all that we overcame
We show no pain, through poetry, give ’em that novocaine
Our fans write to us about their stories of triumph
On how their life and our music formed a holy alliance

We ain’t no stranger to sins, we caved in to the urges
Corrupting our ways, being a slave to our purpose
Some problems can’t be solved, ’cause we’re cracked at the core
Like mathematics, it all starts where the brackets implore

Wealth is a symbol, of a high that keeps our egos sedated
Kid shoulda gave up, battling all the demons he made up
But I’m glad you woke up, never doubted your imagined acclaim
We needed you here for the sound of fans chanting your name

So here’s to one more look at those that need you in life
And one more look at those that need you to fight
And anytime you need a moment of quiet
Just know that, the story goes on, let it hit you like

Om bhur bhuvaha svaha
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat
